All the best. I really hate to see the Cave of Cool closed. You were the only blogger left from the huge group I started with over ten years ago.
I always looked for your movie reviews and even gave the latest Star Trek another chance because of your words. If Calvin liked it, I knew it had to be good.
You are a tastemaker, sir. And it has been a pleasure getting to know you online.
I'm sorry I didn't comment before buddy but I'm not a commenting type except on FB or Twitter. Hope you come back to blogging. I took 3 years off from blogging, and a recent 6 month hiatus from podcasting. Sometimes a break is what is needed.

Aww man! I never post comments but read every day You populate this blog with lots of fun stuff that is great to look at at the end of a hard day. It’s a shame that your self worth seems tied to page views and comments (it seems to come up a lot) I had a blog of gorilla suit cinema for 5 years that almost no one read! But I had fun doing it and I acknowledge it is gratifying when someone piped up to say something or a post gets a spike of views. I know you deal with stuff that I couldn’t possibly appreciate but I wish you peace and happiness. If this was the result of some jerk’s personal attack I hope you let the difficult emotions settle and realize you have many dedicated (though silent) readers who appreciate your sense of humour, aesthetic taste and your dedication to offer something clever and interesting every day. All the best Cal, whatever you choose to do. I will keep checking in, fingers crossed ��
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Don't mince words, Cal. Tell us how you really feel.
Taking a break, Cal? We all need one once in awhile. I'm about to take July off from blogging, myself.
I don't need a break. This is out of spite.
Oh, I see.
Don't mock me.
I usually take weekends off from being online unless I have to.

Hope we are podcasting together come September!

Hey Cal, I just sent you an email. Get back to me, willya?
I did not get said email.
calvinheighton@gmail.com Debra. I never got it honest.
I'd much rather you kept going! I'd really miss CCC if it went away.
Aww man!

I hope you reconsider... the blogoshpere is not the same in your absence.

damn you
Hope you come back Cal. I visit everyday, even if I only comment once in a blue moon.
