Much has been made recently about Return to the Hundred Acre Wood , a new, authorized collection of Pooh stories (the first in eighty years) by David Benedictus, attempting to follow in the footsteps of the original author, A.A. Milne. The book introduces a new character, Lottie the Otter, who is full of herself and forgetful. Ultimately, the entire enterprise is ill-conceived and unsuccessful, so...

The Troglopundit emerged from his cave the other day to draw my attention to this list ranking the Star Trek movie directors. It is not a bad list, but like any opinionated science fiction fans, I have my own ideas on who is the best. The following is my ranking, with all personal bias in full bloom. 1. Jonathan Frakes --I have made no secret that I have a stronger connection to The Next Generation...

Star Trek’s voyage to “boldly go” would have came to an abrupt halt if not for Nicholas Meyer and Harve Bennett. The two rescued the franchise from the depths of space socialism and mediocrity. Gene Roddenberry’s human experiment, one he created for TV to much cultish fanfare, would have never cut the mustard at the theater [...]
