R.I.P. Walter Koenig (90) - apart from STAR TREK, he was a great writer working on LAND OF THE LOST and his role on BABYLON 5 is a highlight of that series…

It seems the money would be better spent on a new Elden Ring game than this movie. I honestly do know who this movie is for. I’d rather play the game than see the movie…

Out of context Friday…

I could post these all day, but this will be the last of them… m.youtube.com/watch?v=8kSy...

Odds are I’ll never live long enough to see FALLOUT 5, but at least there are people out there keeping FALLOUT 4 alive and expanding…

Good crowd for the first day of early voting. I did paper ballots. They do have electronic as well, but only had about 5 stands for them and about 15-20 for paper, so the line for the electronic was a bit long. And to my Maryland friends - yes, I voted “yes” for Question 3. Fight me…

Just when I thought I’d seen every take on FALLOUT 4, someone comes along and says hold my rads…wheelchairs, ramps and Fallout. At the very least the creator is pretty damn cute… m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr2K...

This?, wrong answers only…

Dreamweaver…

Scary movie night…

I love it when FALLOUT 76 glitches out…

How many bites at the apple has Narnia gotten? Here we are again - I never cared for the series, despite its grand ideas it always felt small, twee, like I needed to be smoking a pipe and eating boiled cabbage…I just never got it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mZgB...

My Henry the VIII look-a-like hubby…

Ah, YouTube algorithm…

Still not surprised some people have an issue with this book. It’s a great read and look into the Regan-Era mythology verse the on the ground reality of economic disparity, the rise of fundamentalist thinking and our insatiable delusion that the material = happiness. TGIF it is not…

If anyone makes these and it actually looks like the box, please let me know…

PALE BLOOD (1990) *** - I’m grading this more on style than story, as while the story is fine, it’s really only exists to give the style a floor and it’s got style, it’s got quirk, it even goes a touch meta. A negative - the original songs don’t really lift the film like they think they do. Good.

THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1987) - the middle of Carpenter’s loose apocalypse trilogy, this still works. It raises so many questions between faith and science and leaves you with few answers, but a lot of thought. Cause and effect…and what really happened to that 7 of Spades?

AMAZON has added a new cheat to their live TV service, apart from commercials they normally run, they now run commercials DURING the show by shrinking the show to billboard an ad. You’ve seen this in sports broadcasts, but now just regular shows?, on a platform you pay for…ugh…

No idea how or why he has this in his collection…

As Mike and I make our way through BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY (1979), we’ve come across what is perhaps the best episode of Season 1 - SPACE VAMPIRE. I was sure I remembered this as being awful, but no, great episode and reimagining of Dracula. Plus, Erin Gray goes full evil here…recommend.

MILLENNIUM (1989) *** - the premise still works, borrowing a shade from LA JETTE (1962), this time travel mystery is long on style and performances, but does need a bit more backstory to sell the dystopian future better, but as a concept it still holds together very well. Recommend.

I have such a backlog of games and I’m finally getting around and into CRIMSON DESERT and even only about 20hrs in I can say…it’s amazing. I love nothing more than exploring and discovering and enjoying just avoiding any and all quests… cannot recommend this enough.

TRM (2025) ** - this got savaged in the box office and by the critics and for a good reason, but…it works, just barely. There is some great material here, it pulls a good focus on the present, but gets lost in lacking more world building and a fear of not going far enough. It tells more than shows.

From a friend in Florida…

Seeing this now on applications for jobs. They want you to use AI, but not when applying, because they know AI is a lie only good for protecting the companies profits, not people - so, don’t use AI now, that would be cheating, only use it to deny coverage when the time comes…

Reorganizing…
