I wasn't interested until I read about the cancellation and found out the directors worked on Ms. Marvel. Now I'm disappointed! Ms. Marvel had the kind of visual style/distinctiveness the Disney/Marvel needs a lot more of. I'm also kinda worried because HBOMax is a great service with a broad...

I think the trajectory of 'woke' is: Black slang --> ironic Black slang (according to Jane Costin and that guy on Atlanta, at least) --> ironic progressive slang --> conservative pejorative --> progressive slang (reclaimed pejorative). But don't quote me on it. Gotta check with my linguist fiends.

It's Babylon 5, Season 4 Syndrome. I think Seth is trying to complete the major story arcs because it's not clear another season is coming. Though with all the good press this season is getting, I wouldn't bet against more New Horizons.

I find most people like that who have postmodernism in mind have no idea what postmodernism is.

Minor, positive. I'd say social media had a much larger effect.

... the drug of the nation. Good one!

We have the windows open this morning for the first time in over a week. It's been hot here in Philadelphia. Another heat wave starts tomorrow, with 5 days of 90F+ weather. It could hot 100F on Thursday, just in time for my wife's appointment downtown. I was at a pool party last weekend in...

I love the first Yp Man, but if we’re doing series, I have to give it to the later Mission Impossibles. They keep getting… better??? (in defiance of normal franchise logic).

Sure. Hauer’s Roy Batty secures his place in movie history, full stop.

Weirdos, eh? Here’s Laurie Anderson feat. William S. Burroughs.

Have some Bettie Serveert. “Dust Bunnies” is one of the 90s best albums.

Let's see... an honest answer would all be films from my pre- and early-cable childhood. So it's probably like a 6-way tie between... THEM! Yellow Submarine (every Thanksgiving morning) Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion Godzilla vs the Smog Monster Operation: Petticoat (I also watched...

Aren't 'flaming' and 'trolling' also invented buzzwords? (sorry)

Damn. The Death clip with the violinist — taken directly from “The Sound of Her Wings”, right? — put tears in my eyes this morning. Quite a few really. Strange world we live in. Many things are bad, but I can turn on the TV (it’s a large immobile phone for the kids in the audience) and see...

Peter Weller played Buckaroo Banzai, William S. Burroughs, and Robocop. That’s a trifecta in my book (no disrespect to Lance). Also, it can be mathematically proven Rutger Hauer is the poor man’s Rutger Hauer.

Heroes scared ghost, saved library.

Soap was a half hour sitcom that parodied soap operas. Had a great cast. My mom liked it.

I think it’s Billy Crystal on Soap, 1977. He was part of the regular cast.

I’m amused by all the people who seem to have forgotten that prior to the release of Jackson’s trilogy, he was best known for zombie gore comedies and a movie that ends with Kate Winslet helping her girlfriend bash her mom’s brains in with a rock. Not exactly the guy you’d trust with the Silver...

Hey, I’ve definitely run D&D scenarios involving brunch. I just don’t need a source book about it. (which isn’t to say I didn’t buy The Complete Book of Elf Brunches back in the 90s… it was a long time ago and my memory isn’t great anymore).
