I watched so much Kramer vs. Kramer last night… By Seamus O'Sparks on April 22, 2017 — 1 min read I was in the zone, man. That film turned Meryl Streep into a bonafide star and divorce into a national pastime. It makes me want to get divorced. It also makes me think that Meryl Streep is a real fox. I heard she’s not always nice to people. I also heard Judd Hirsch was involved... More
I just saw Mad Max: Fury Road By Seamus O'Sparks on May 21, 2015 — 1 min read I just saw Mad Max: Fury Road. Man, I was initially extremely disappointed. First of all I could see absolutely no connection between this “reboot” and the original Mad Max universe. I thought the actor playing Max was doughy, irritating, and beyond poorly cast. I thought that the special effects were terrible. I was actually... More
There is no feeling quite like seeing something through a child’s eyes By Seamus O'Sparks on October 2, 2014 — 1 min read There is no feeling quite like seeing something through a child’s eyes. No matter how many times you’ve experienced something, when you see it through a child’s eyes it’s like seeing it for the first time. For instance, last night I showed my seven year old nephew the film, ‘A Clockwork Orange.’ It was a... More
I got The Big Lebowski… By Seamus O'Sparks on June 8, 2014 — 1 min read I got The Big Lebowski…Colby Evans once told me I reminded him of The Dude…guess he was right? I’m a pretty dorkified version of The Dude. I spent all last night drinking diet soda and listening to the Rush album, ‘Caress of Steel’ until dawn…The Dude would want to punch me. I like me, though.

Ian Gillan perfectly captures Jesus’s high-octane irritation By Seamus O'Sparks on April 20, 2014 — 1 min read Ian Gillan perfectly captures Jesus’s high-octane irritation at the money lenders in the temple. Regardless of your beliefs, you gotta’ admit that only Jesus could rock this hard. All due respect, but I couldn’t see the Buddha or, say, Socrates caterwauling with such intensity…prove me wrong, yo. HAPPY EASTER! and a nod to you Robin... More
People of the book would say I was a schlemiel By Seamus O'Sparks on June 13, 2013 — 1 min read People of the book would say I was a schlemiel. They’re right too. Here’s what I’m talking about. I saw the movie, “Rocky” for the first time in a long while the other night. It made me cry. It also inspired me. So I put on a pair of white shorts and slicked my hair... More
I saw the WORST movie of all time last night! By Seamus O'Sparks on March 1, 2013 — 1 min read I saw the WORST movie of all time last night! It’s called, “The Eagles Meet the Phantom of the Park.” It’s absurd. I mean The Eagles? With SUPER POWERS??? Boomerang mustache my a$$! Though the part where Don Henley breathed fire seemed plausible. Anyway, it was so terrible I thought to myself, gee-whiz I bet... More
I saw Spiderman the other day By Seamus O'Sparks on January 17, 2013 — 1 min read I saw Spiderman the other day. It was amazing! He was amazing! It really inspired me. Since watching the film I have been out getting bit by every kind of insect I can find in hopes that I will get a super power. I’m real nubby and swollen all over. So far the only real... More
I wrote something but then erased it ‘cos I hated it By Seamus O'Sparks on January 8, 2013 — 1 min read I wrote something but then erased it ‘cos I hated it. It was about getting The Hobbit confused with Quest for Fire. I’m still sick. Maybe I’ll just quote some Rumi. Chicks seem to dig that. Uh: “Love needs legs and legs need pants. You could be my love pants…Can we dance?” I don’t think... More
That movie, The Outsiders, scares the hell out of me By Seamus O'Sparks on September 26, 2012 — 1 min read That movie, The Outsiders, scares the hell out of me. I get too spooked out watching it and I have to stop snacking and go get a drink. The ending is what does it. You know, at the end, when Pony Boy is reading the letter from Johnny and then Johnny’s ghost starts reading the... More
