9 Classic Board Games as… HORROR MOVIES

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

Welp. It’s all fun and games until that hair-raising shrill background music starts playing. Justin Bryant created these horror film reimaginings for us to laugh and cringe at. Maybe don’t show these to your young kids, though. Chutes and Ladders may never be the same again. (Affiliate links have been added to all the games […]



QUIZ: 9 Alcohol Cheats in Animation

Posted under NOTEBOOK

Brought to you by responsibility.org for their TalkEarly campaign. In the past, animated films and shows were, um… rather boozy. A review of every G-rated movie created from the 30s up to 2000 said 47% showed alcohol consumption, and in that same period about 9% percent of all cartoons did as well. That’s a LOT […]

[ This post and video contain massive spoilers ] (open video in a new window) A truly awesome number of people have been thrilled with my son’s reactions to watching the Star Wars movies, and it’s clear to everyone that he’s a huge fan of Luke Skywalker.

His passion and exhilaration are completely contagious. […]



What If Famous Movie Themes Were Replaced With Pop Music?

Posted under VIDEOTAPE

My wife recently asked me when Star Wars was released. I told her 1977 and randomly thought of the popular music of the era and laughed imagining the movie with disco music instead of the orchestral genius of John Williams. So I had the idea of putting this video together: 12 movies with iconic instrumental […]



50 SHADES OF BROWN (The Unplanned Sequel)

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

After freeing themselves from the shadows of their past (and their headboard handcuffs), newly weds Anastasia and Christian embark on a new kind of domination and submission in their life, a kind that has no safe word… Parenthood. Sure. You thought it was only a trilogy, maybe even vigorously hoped and prayed, but it was […]



Can You Guess Which Animated Films Have Alcohol? (QUIZ)

Posted under NOTEBOOK

As part of the TalkEarly team for Responsibiliy.org, (encouraging early convos with kids about responsible drinking), I had the idea of putting together an interesting quiz that may even surprise you!
