Modern Problems and Mr. 3000
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay By odd coincidence it happened that I watched the films Modern Problems and Mr. 3000 one after the other. The two films could not be more different from each other and yet they had one thing in common. The main characters did not begin as…

Gone Fishin’
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay I’ve had a long relationship with this movie. The first time I rented it I watched it with the wrong crowd and they didn’t care for it. We turned it off but the brief segment I saw I thought was humorous. Years later I found…

Life in the Wild: Volume 2
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay And now you begin to see the depth of my compulsion. If I haven’t seen it, I watch it. Somehow I ended up with this nature documentary on vhs sans volumes 1 and 3 and however many other installations there may be. Research detected at…
