Thank you, not just for making the greatest Superman film of all time, but for having the guts to make the movie that YOU most wanted to see. It might just be the positive cultural phenomenon we need right now! (My inner 5-year-old and my current sidekick Sammich are very, very happy!)

You do need an Xbox controller. You can cancel anytime, or pay $12 a month after the trial. Game Pass also gives you unlimited access to a huge library of other games to play, including all of the Halo, Call of Duty, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age games, plus dozens of others!

If you have Meta Quest 3, you should IMMEDIATELY download Xbox Game Pass and sign up for a free month for $1. Since Indiana Jones and the Golden Circle was a day one Game Pass release, that dollar will let you immediately play the game free on a virtual big screen, WHETHER YOU HAVE AN XBOX OR NOT!

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is far and away the best Indiana Jones game ever made, and although I've got a lot more to play, it could end up challenging Mass Effect 2 for my favorite all-time game! (Hot tip for Meta Quest 3 users in comments...)

Rewatched the ridiculously entertaining Midnight Run last night, for the first time this century, and I have a question. What in the Hell happened to Martin Brest?!!

It's all about perspective. The sinking of the Titanic was a miracle to the lobsters in the ship's kitchen.

@bluelarry.bsky.social Happy Birthday, Laughing Eagle!

Never leave a Jedi's gifts under the Christmas tree if you want to surprise them. They'll feel your presents.

My novel "Weebles Wobble" is righting itself!

People should stop having kids at thirty-five, because *damn*, that's a lot of kids!

Breaking News: Count Chocula, Teddy Grahams Bear, and Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man perish in house fire. S'more at eleven.

...with a wry sense of humor, who only speaks when he has something to say, never complains, and serves as a mentor to a group of younger soldiers, this show is going to own me!

So long as they don't make him as dark as his roles in Tombstone and The Abyss, and make him a quick-thinking, battle-hardened veteran like Hicks and Reese... (cont'd)

2/4 He had a familiarity that instantly made him sympathetic, and I think I just realized why. My brain was unconsciously associating him with another favorite, Michael Biehn, who played the ultra-sympathetic roles of Kyle Reese in the original Terminator, and Lt. Hicks in Aliens. (cont'd)

Just read that Alien: Earth, premiering in June on Hulu, features Justified star Timothy Oliphant, and my casual interest went through the roof! I was an instant fan after watching the Deadwood pilot in 2004. (cont'd)

I did a double take when I saw your kitchen, Amy. It looks just like ours! 😄

(cont'd) "...contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage'...) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead." - HP Lovecraft (1936)

(cont'd) "...on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would..."

"...decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based..."

In 1936, H.P. Lovecraft wrote of the Eldritch Horror we're now experiencing:
"As for the Republicans -- how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against..." (cont'd in comments)

I made an account here nine months ago and logged on. It seemed well-intentioned, but limited. What do people think, now? Is it the genuine alternative to Zuckbook they're claiming it to be? If it has any success, how long before Zuck, Bezos, or another of their ilk, buys it?

I'm always skeptical about new platforms that claim to have "fixed" Facebook, but I thought I'd give this a try. Anybody here that I know?
