Closing Up Shop Due To eBay Trying To Force Me Into Their Managed Payments Scheme
By Paul Rudoff on Jun. 10, 2021 at 10:52 PM in Public Service Articles
I have been an eBay member since January 4, 2003, and selling on the site for over 10 years now. My sales suck because eBay does everything in their power to hinder me. I have already written a series of articles about eBay, who clearly has some sort of vendetta against me. I have no other explanation for the myriad of stupid reasons they've given for taking down listings of mine over and over again. I've written about some of these in the past, but I've never written about all of them - such as the nonsensical "Choice violations" all throughout the first half of 2019, or the constant takedowns for directly linking to externally-hosted product images that served to help buyers see more of the item.
I've put up with all of eBay's bullshit over the years because there were no alternatives that allowed me to instantly receive payment from a buyer via PayPal. Well, now eBay has taken away the one advantage it had over every other online marketplace. Read on to find out more...

Godzilla (2014) is the first in Warner Brother's "Monsterverse" series of films, though I prefer to call it the "Monarchverse" since that's the entity that ties all of the films together. Currently, the other films in the series are Kong: Skull Island (2017), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), and Godzilla vs. Kong (2021). Read on to find out more about it...

Songbird (2020) Blu-Ray Review
By Paul Rudoff on Apr. 9, 2021 at 11:48 PM in Home Video
Over the past year, there have been a handful of movies and television shows that have capitalized on the COVID-19 pandemic. Just off the top of my head, I can recall Connecting... on NBC, Love in the Time of Corona on Freeform, and Social Distance and Malcolm & Marie on Netflix. 2020 closed out with the VOD premiere of Songbird, which was, likely, the first feature film to be produced during the pandemic.

Invisible Sue (Plötzlich Unsichtbar) DVD Review
By Paul Rudoff on Apr. 4, 2021 at 10:16 PM in Home Video
I've been visiting various Dollar Tree stores across Long Island and checking out their selection of DVDs and Blu-rays. While I occasionally find a "gem", usually the selection are a bunch of duds. One consistency I've found is that the boxes are usually cluttered with dozens and dozens of kids and family titles from Viva Pictures Distribution. After constantly seeing these titles everywhere, I thought I'd plop down a Dollar and check out some of them; namely BFF Detectives (2019) (aka Die Drei !!! [The Three Exclamation Marks]), Four Enchanted Sisters (2020) (aka Sprite Sisters - Vier zauberhafte Schwestern [Four Lovely Sisters]), Invisible Sue (2018), Antboy (2013), Antboy: Revenge of the Red Fury (2014), and Antboy 3 (2016). I figured that even if each movie sucked, I wouldn't be out more than a buck, and I could always pass it along to someone else.
Those first two films weren't very good, and I don't feel like re-watching them just to write a review. However, I did like Invisible Sue, and I have some feelings about the Antboy trilogy, so I might as well get my Dollar's worth and use them to generate more content for the site. So, let's get this VERY LONG & IMAGE-INTENSIVE article started...
