I’ve had a lifetime of Howe / Lee / Jackston style Tolkein adaptions with the familiar conceptions of Middle Earth. But what would, say, an artist who grew up in Kenya imagine while reading the books? Or Mumbai, or Santiago, or Jakarta? I’d love to see that.

That sounds wonderful. Even though it will further divide the US population into people who don’t die of viral diseases and unhinged conspiracy lunatics. But that’s on us.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, whatever their personalities, had actual business sense and innovative ideas that paid off. Musk’s public micro management of Twitter shows he’s completely at lost at sea and incapable of coming up with a good idea or recognizing a bad one. He’s not a complicated genius. He’s just an…

If you’re counting Ben Affleck (ie. not actual nuns) you’ve GOT to include Sister Night from Watchmen.

The Penguin! Three minutes and you’re on a mission from God.

The original Ariel started with Jodi Benson singing “Part Of Your World.” Glen Keane heard the recording and asked to do the animation. They hired Sheri Stoner to do a physical performance to match what he imagined from the singing. Against corporate pressure they made her hair red instead of blond since it contrasted…

The part I wonder about is the species’ original biome. A human cloned from one of my cells wouldn’t exactly thrive without all the gut flora that helps me digest food and resist infections. And he’d probably wish for some hair mites to eat his dead skin.

If Owen Garriott’s name sounds familiar, his son Richard was a self taught programmer who wrote and published the original Ultima games as Lord British.

Pffft Hooli is way ahead of them AND making the world a better pla

Yeah how do you push Twitter videos into retirement homes and military bases?

Company Twitter accounts were a convenient extra layer if you wanted to put out announcements or sometimes reply to direct inquiries without fully committing to it. When my cat’s Jiobit tag wasn’t working at all I couldn’t find customer support on their website, so I tried their Twitter and immediately heard back that…

Which isn’t necessarily bad. Ellen DeGeneres and Steven Colbert aren’t really remembered for their acting roles.

We’ve had thousands to millions of Caucasian Jesuses. Surely we can abide a Black Cleopatra.

Nobody cared that Porky’s 2 didn’t have Porky. He was a minor character in a teen sex comedy people watched for the shower scene.

I’ve watched Clone Wars and Rebels. But my excitement over Bo-Katan has had nothing to do with “it’s that character I know from the cartoons!” and everything to do with Katee Sackhoff absolutely shining with a terrific Season 3 arc.

The good guys win but they’ve earned it. Axe Woves stuck to the plan and was faithful. The Armourer came through. All of the Mandalorians stood their ground and fought together.

The 45 minutes is doubtful but it was a good call. They were able to start Infinity War right where Ragnarok left off. Waiting to pick up that post credits cliffhanger would never have had the impact of going straight to the characters we most cared about.

At least one “spy” is Elia Kane. And judging from the time between Gideon’s capture and escape, whoever fast tracked Kane through the ex-Imperial rehab program.

Mark Hamill crashes Argyle the Gershwin Gargling Gargoyle’s act and then runs off like a spooked turkey. He’s always been a treasure.

I did watch the SWHS when it broadcast, but as a 70's kid I couldn’t really tell it was bad. It was the only new Star Wars besides the movie, and exactly as you say, 70's television was mostly horrible.
