On The Basis Of Sex – What Was True and What Was Fiction?
As most moviegoers know, Hollywood loves to take an historical event and turn it into a parody of itself. Inasmuch as I loved the movie Braveheart, Mel must have not read many books about William Wallace. Timelines were rearranged to fit the script…which is sad, because the actual timeline was such a big part of the…

How RunPee Makes Memorable Cues For Peetimes & Movie Breaks
What do we mean by a Peetime Cue when we add them to the RunPee app? There takes a certain type of finesse and a small learning curve to using Peetimes properly. Over the years we’ve distilled it to a science. (Some would say it’s an art…) Contrary to what some might think, when the…

Greet the Morning with Groot – Mr. Blue Sky Video and Lyrics
One of the most memorable scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is the opening credits, as the adorable Baby Groot dances to ELO’s hit song “Mr. Blue Sky.” What makes this scene so engaging is Groot’s complete obliviousness to his team mates-slash-parents’ danger as they fight a seriously deranged space monster. The Guardians…

Got Lice from Movies & Theater Seats? Steps To Get Rid of Your Lice
I wrote an article about how I, an adult avid movie-goer for RunPee.com, got a gross, itchy, rashy head of lice and nits from my local AMC movie theater. My theater is normally a spotless establishment, but since a lice epidemic has taken the nation, all I can say is: pests happen. People are turning…

Making Models – the Jenny Haniver Airship from Mortal Engines
—
Mortal Engines has the best models and miniatures I’ve seen in a movie outside of the original Star Wars movies and the Lord of the Rings. This should come as no surprise, since Mortal Engines came from WETA Workshop, the same crew who designed The Lord of the Rings. Remember all those rolling cities…

Love, Actually and Christmas Is All Around (That “Festering Turd of a Record”)
Bill Nighy rocks. And in Love, Actually, he rocks even harder as a washed up, has-been rock star, an aging bad boy we can’t help but love. Also, he’s one of those actors I’m certain can do no wrong. Hear that, Nighy? We’re all in agreement here: RunPee loves you. 🙂 Love, Actually is one…

Avoid Getting Lice At The Movies (a personal story and a PSA)
This should be a little embarrassing: I’m a grownup after all. But I caught lice at the movies. I don’t feel weird about it – in fact I’m actually glad to know why this rash on my neck wouldn’t go away. This is treatable with a $12 lice-killer from Amazon. There are far more difficult…

Virgin Movie Review – Footloose (1984)
Somehow, I’ve never seen the original Footloose before. I did catch the remake a few months back and found it mildly awful. I figured the iconic original would impress me more. It did. But only by a small margin. I cannot figure out why this movie has iconic status, much less be considered a Teen…

Quiz – Aquaman from the Silver Age of Comic Books
—
This quiz deals with the comic book Aquaman, during his Silver Age. In researching Aquaman for this quiz, I found that the Silver Age Aquaman most closely resembles the Aquaman in the animated movie. I kept the questions fairly easy and would rate the level of difficulty as Average. [quiz-cat id=”12406″] I’m only now beginning to…

Tom Cruise Wants You To Fix Your TV
Have you ever heard of Motion Smoothing? I haven’t either. Apparently the new HDTVs come with it already defaulted on, and Tom Cruise wants you to turn it off, dammit, when you sit down to watch movies at home. He even took time out from filming the Top Gun sequel to tell everyone how to…
