A Note To Our Readers

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Hi, everyone.

As I’ve mentioned here before, my Dad has been very ill over the last month and a half.  Today, I learned that he will be going into hospice care.  Needless to say, both myself and my sister Erin are coming to terms with this news and everything that it potentially represents.  As a result, there may be days when it’s a bit quiet around here on the Shattered Lens.  There may be some days when the site will not feature a new music video or a new pulp cover or a Retro Television review or a film review.

That does not mean the site is going away though.  It just means that, whereas we previously updated on a daily basis, we may have to go for an every other day basis for a few weeks, at least until things get worked out around here.  This has been a difficult year but I love this site more than ever.  Family is always going to come first but I am in no way abandoning my love of writing about pop culture.

Thank you to all of our subscribers, readers, and commenters.  The Shattered Lens, and all of its writers, will still be here even if some of us do occasionally have to take a personal day!

Love,

Lisa Marie

Lisa Marie’s Week In Review: 7/8/24 — 7/14/24

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

It’s been a rough week.  My Dad, who had been in a physical rehab center since the end of May, was finally kicked out by his insurance company.  (I appealed the decision, to no avail.)  He’s not doing well.  On both Friday and Saturday, he fell and had to be taken to the hospital.  

As a result, I am exhausted so I’m going to ask your indulgence as I tell you what movies I watched this week and then call it a post.  This week, I watched:

  1. The Bone Collector (1999)
  2. The Clones (1973)
  3. Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987)
  4. Hollywood Man (1976)
  5. Swamp Thing (1982)

Rest in peace, the great Shelley Duvall and the great (and misunderstood) Shannen Doherty.
