Ken Meyer Jr.’s Ink Stains column

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Podcast Corrections

When I recorded a podcast with Joey Manley, I got one of my facts wrong. I said that Chris Reeve’s first SUPERMAN film came out in 1979. It actually came out in December, 1978.

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

I want to write semi-informal blog reviews of them in the days to come. Dan W. Taylor — mentioned elsewhere on this site — sent me a new “old [...]
