So far, announced events include showings of a Darren Aronofsky movie in August

I was at a conference three months ago and staying next to the sphere at the Venetian, and this thing really does make an impression - it really does look massive. I can’t imagine what it’s like now that it’s up and running, but I bet it’s a pretty great experience.

I came here for a John Cena joke, and was not let down.

I do! And yes, same thing here - every time Ratner comes up, I think of The Big Butt Book.

I was super happy this weekend to hop on “Max” (ugh) and see that there was a new season of 10 Year-Old Tom - a.k.a the spiritual sequel to The Life and Times of Tim. Even before Zaslav’s slash-and-burn takeover, I wasn’t sure if it would earn a second season, so this was a nice surprise.

I don’t/will never have a twitter account, but I did regularly visit a news account.... at least until this weekend when non-users got the boot. Not ideal, but I think I’ll manage, and at least I get to enjoy another barrel of gasoline being poured onto the dumpster fire that is Elon Musk Presents Twitter.

Nothing worse than giving a really thoughtful, well-written response to someone, only to then realize that their post was from 2019.

What are my two goals at the gym today? Work on my core n’ sweat.

“The down low? Too slow! Scarlet Speedster and Dark Knight lose fight for BOFFO B.O.”

Flash Bored ‘em

The Flash is now duking it out for the ignominious title of “worst box office drop for a superhero movie this century” with, you guessed it, Sony’s Morbius.

I dunno... it kinda matches up with the gif, but the ground-and-pound move is a pretty common thing and this seems like a coincidence of framing more than a homage to me. How about this: let’s ask Gendo what he thinks. Gendo?

“Dear Mr. President. There are too many Star Treks these days... please eliminate three.”

This new method seems really abrupt. I feel like - even if cancellation seemed incredibly likely - they would let a series breath for a moment, and you’d eventually get a quiet announcement months later. That Grease prequel was still being advertised to me as of last night, and now it’s going away for good (or likely…

Too polite... he should’ve shouted “how do you like this View!?” and pointed to his ass as he stormed offstage.

It makes for a good name of a 1940s-era educational short film that MST3K would riff on. “What did mother do wrong, here? Yes, that’s right... she looked up!”

His post-Home Improvement career includes producing movies, making it big with bitcoin, and providing commentary for conservative outlets. But he’s also faced legal trouble, having faced charges of domestic violence and driving under the influence and accusations of duping investors into a crypto scam.

There was a time, back when I had an imagination, where I would basically role-play my own little adventures in Oblivion. If I couldn’t beat a stronger enemy, I would run off to the woods for a few days to ‘train’, for example. Probably explains why it took me four years of pretty consistent play time to beat the damn…
