The Loudest Monkey: A Wizard Universe Blog

Old school rules!

If you haven’t been paying crazy attention to my blogroll updates (and hey, I wouldn’t blame you…but seriously, some good stuff in that there list, check it out!), you may have missed the link to one of Wizard Universe’s newest blogs: Kickin’ It Old School!

Manned by ToyFare associate editor and frisbee enthusiast TJ Dietsch, Kickin’ It Old School takes a look at the hits and misses of yesteryear in comics, movies, books, music and the like. I don’t know how often I’ve said “It’s a darn good read” in this blog (a lot, I know)—and I’m always serious when I say it—but go check out TJ’s blog if you need a review of some old classics in comics or movies, or you just have a fetish for things that happened ten or more years ago…it’s a darned good read!

Anywho, the main reason I was reminded to pop up this little blog shout out was because TJ reviewed the Steve McQueen classic “Bullitt” in one of his earlier posts and I just saw that flick for the first time last night. I’d never seen “Bullitt” and had recently added it to the NetFlix queue right before TJ’s review ran, so I checked the review and was surprised to see the film get a “generally kinda boring” review. However, after sitting through it and hoping I’d get caught up in it, I couldn’t agree more. For a type of film I normally love, “Bullitt” is kind of a snoozer. So, long story short: “Bullitt” is boring and TJ’s got some wisdom to share on his blog, so go check it out!
