Suggestions For New Hollywood Blockbusters

OK, so not only did Hollyweird turn the adventures of Sherlock Holmes (and Dr. Watson) into an action-packed adventure movie, they've made a sequel! Many people lined up to see both movies...because the media told them to.

It's pretty much a given that Hollywood has run out of new ideas. Long gone are the days of movie studios taking chances on a new idea or a new face. Everything is merely a rehash of an old idea. So, given that, I've come up with some ideas for some serious blockbusters! Listen up Hollywood, if you want to make a fortune, here you go! Just remember, these are MY ideas!

Jane Eyre
Jane, after years of being treated badly by her stepsisters, gets locked in the Red Room (where her biological family was massacred by Muslim terrorists), freaks out and goes on a killing spree.

Anne of Green Gables: Woman Of Mystery
Appearing out of nowhere at the door of Marilla & Matthew Cuthbert, this mysterious and interesting beauty seduces the couple and then goes on a killing spree.

Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn 2012
A modern day version. Tom & Huck are best buds, crime fighters and occasionally lovers. See them track down the evil Uncle Tom and blow him up real good!

Paddington Bear: Lost In The Woods
Paddington Bear, a well-dressed bear-about-town, becomes lost in the woods after his car breaks down. Here, he encounters mutant hillbillies hell bent on killing & eating him. Paddington must fight to survive using his street smarts and tricks learned from watching many episodes of MacGyver.

David Copperfield
After a fight with his evil stepfather for falling behind in his studies (during which young David bites his stepfather), he is sent to a "boarding school"...which in reality is a juvenile detention center. After much bullying, many fights, and a brief romance with a young Hispanic pyromaniac named Luis, David learns his lesson and returns to society a much better man...or has he? Murders soon occur with alarming frequency and the occasional fire.

Ann Frank
This movie details the real goings on in that attic! A mentally disturbed young lady named Ann and her sister move into the attic to hide from the world. Disturbing images are brought on by Ann's increasing psychotic episodes and paranoia that "the Nasties" are out to get her! Ann and her sister Margot plot to destroy the world, all the while carrying on a thinly veiled incestuous relationship until daring young soldiers capture them and take them to the safety of a government facility for the criminally insane.

More to come!

Clearing up the Great Gretsch/Rockabilly Sham!

I've had a long-standing friendly argument with a couple of friends about guitars. This has gone on for 20+ years. We're all pickers, and we're all usually lumped under the rockabilly category too. They both love Gretsch guitars. I can take them or leave them. Rockabilly fans have asked me many times why I don't play a Gretsch, which is often associated with rockabilly music.   First, I point out that what I play ain't exactly rockabilly. Sure, there's a definite rockabilly influence...but there's also blues, jazz, surf, garage, punk, country, Tex-Mex, and even some Gypsy & African influences in my music. A Gretsch just ain't gonna cut it. Don't get me wrong, Gretsches have their place and their own, unique sound. But...for a picker who is coming from the afore-mentioned influences, a Gretsch just ain't gonna cut it.   The new Gretsches, mostly reissues, are well-made guitars. MUCH better made than the original ones, which tended to ...

Since they changed YOUR life, how about YOU changing someone else's?

The recent deaths of Lemmy and David Bowie have caused a mighty ripple through humankind. People that I never would've guessed to be "fans" have shown their true colors. An old lady I know, it turns out, is a huge Motorhead fan. Folks I work with, who seem much more at home listening to bland modern country, have vocalized their lifelong love of Bowie's music and movies. These two musicians changed a lot of lives for the better. Both died of cancer. As a two-time cancer survivor, as well as being a musician, their death hit home with me...and hit hard. I was lucky enough, both times, to not only survive but to also have decent health insurance at the time. My out of pocket costs were minimal. Many aren't so lucky. With Obamacare we're all forced to pony up for affordable health insurance...or be fined. For many, it's just not feasible. One of the groups hardest hit by the US health care nightmare is musicians. Professional musicians make their liv...

Colin Hardy: We'll Meet Again

 2026 has been off to a rough start. Not even a month in, and I’ve already lost a few friends. Now, before anyone reaches for the tiny violins and assumes I’m whinging - relax. I’m not. Yes, it always hurts to lose someone, but I’ve learned to use moments like these to lean into the good memories: the reasons we got along in the first place. This morning, I found out my old buddy Colin Hardy passed away over the weekend. Col hailed from Stoke-On-Trent (which I always jokingly called Stoke-On-Rye ). He was a working-class bloke through and through, but we shared a deep love of music — especially the old-school rockin’ variety. We first crossed paths on a music-sharing site and immediately began raiding each other’s collections. This was back in the dial-up days, when downloading a single MP3 could take half an hour if the phone didn’t ring. Eventually, we started emailing instead. Col sent me tracks by the likes of Crazy Cavan, Freddie Fingers Lee, and others. He was always hungry f...
