Few television shows can give you the range of emotions you'll feel after watching the first season of Resident Alien. This even more rare when realize it's science fiction and based on comic book.

The show is lead by one of my favorite actors, Alan Tudyk, but the majority of the supporting cast are relatively unknown. That doesn't stop the show from being a homerun.

The series takes place in the fiction town of Patience, Colorado. There we follow an alien (Tudyk) masquerading in human form. That's pretty much all you need to know to get you onboard. The show is thought provoking, hilarious, and manages to retain this odd, family-friendly feeling. You really feel for and understand the characters, which in truns make you fall in love with them quite quickly.

Vintage Wyoming Movie Posters

I love walking down the hallway of a modern movie theater and looking at the old posters of vintage movies.

That got me thinking about old Westerns based on Wyoming. How many of those posters are still around?

Many are, and many are for sale online, if you want to decorate your home, or even home theater, with classic and mostly forgotten movie posters.

Most of these films were made before the era of television. Hollywood was cranking out these things as fast as they could.

The plots, the scrips, the acting, directing, and editing were SO BAD, they were good.
