Fun Trivia: the original 70s STEPFORD WIVES film is unavailable in any current format because in the 70s a lot of companies with too much money diversified by buying film companies. Most soon realized what a bad idea that was, but Bristol Myers held onto the rights for some reason.
On the plus side: this morning I read @chiaradilello.bsky.social's Childless Millennial, and it is a masterpiece. For as long as it took to read every word aloud it felt like maybe there was a cure for Polycrisis, a balm for modern grief. It's an astonishing work of poetry.
I read an extremely popular book today and found it so odious that I think I leveled up as a Hater. Maybe the worst-written novel I've ever picked up. My impostor syndrome sublimated under the heat of its badness.
Artemis returns, everyone safe and sound! Amazing things can happen. And zero-two years until humans back on the lunar surface...
That's a phenomenal episode, and probably made just for the demographic of my brother and me. (Not to mention the episode where Eek has to watch every Elvis movie in a row in order to impersonate him. I felt extremely targeted.)
Do do do do do doolooodamnit!
Took my dog for a walk, did some work, made some lunch, wrote a bit more in the new project, made some new code for my home server. Moving on no matter what.
To paraphrase Picard: "If we're going to be damned, let us be damned being who we really are."
That's Jimmie "JJ" Walker, thus ensuring that any product sold here will be dy-no-miiiiiiiiite
Wow, that was not the rabbit hole I was expecting to go down.
VCU keeping my bracket intact! Wow, what an ugly game.
Bill Nighy the Science Guyhy
Embarrassing that it has taken this long for a woman to win an Oscar for cinematography but I’m very happy to be here to witness it for Autumn Durald Arkapaw, especially with that speech which was the best of the night so far.
Amy Madigan as McCoy in Streets of Fire, the baddest ass in a movie full of badasses.
McCoy: Oscar Winner!
"Right now. I'm surprised. And entertained." It's like they were feeding him his lines through an earpiece.
Got my first panel acceptance of the year! We're taking this show all over America in 2026!
2002! And absolutely, a lot of people I know collected for The Cause but I grew up in a split Protestant and Catholic household so I had Opinions.
One time I had a pint next to GA when he stopped into my Manhattan local. Knew him on sight and knew that he was a bastard AND knew to keep my mouth shut because I was in high school.
He said he'd surprise ya!
I am honestly amazed I managed to graduate and that I have (hopefully) few lasting effects from SoT parties.
"See, if we just run it through this Brita filter three or four times..."
(Scene Missing)
"I am a Jedi! I AM A JEDI!!!!"
Somehow I knew that Count On It opened for The Beets.
Okay but: he's Cassidy Yates' brother who plays baseball for the Pike City Pioneers. Barnstorming through the Alpha Quadrant bringing hope to a post-War Federation.
"I don't know anything about AI, but--" Cool, coolcoolcool, glad I'm having this conversation about my job again.
Where can one acquire said bear?
How can this be?
I still bust out an "Oh hey, Lucy's Dad." on occasion. Loren Bouchard never misses.
Did you know that Howard Hughes was the last person to see Sinclair alive? There's a whole thing about it in Melvin Dummar's book. Crazy stuff.
My favorite games made with My9Games.com: Elite Beat Agents (Nintendo DS), Star Trek The Motion Picture (Vectrex), Spider-Man (PS4), Revenge of the 'Gator (Game Boy), Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! (NES), Sam & Max Hit the Road (PC), Toy Commander (Dreamcast), Super Castlevania IV (SNES), and Galaga (Arcade)
Picking just nine games over four decades of play was difficult, but here's as close as I can manage to my nine favorite. Still, having nothing to represent the Game Gear or the N64 or arcades in the 90s/00s feels like a crime.
Shout out to my mainstays through the years: Nintendo Power, Sega Visions, VG&CE (and then VideoGames), EGM, and Ultra Game Players.
