In 2005, I bought the new Star Wars edition of Risk and we sat down to play it after dinner before heading to the theater to see the midnight premiere of Revenge of the Sith. There was an alternate version of the rules that incorporated the plot of the movie where the Republic general could issue Order 66 and all of…

That reminds me of the scene in the first season of The West Wing when Leo’s wife was leaving him because he prioritized his job over his home life.

‘Underwater’ hitman-cop movie

I’ve watched the three episodes that are out, and it’s not great, but it’s worth watching just for Matthew Goode as Robert Evans. He steals every scene he’s in.

I always knew the symbols on the title card were hinting at things to come in that episode, but I think it was the third season before I realized they were literal representations of the letters Z-A-R-K inside the big O.

Also they both appeared up in The West Wing, although they didn’t have any scenes together.

I wish he had started his career early enough for the Coens to discover him in time for Raising Arizona.  I don’t know who he would have played, but he’d fit into that world perfectly.  

When you’ve just woken up and that header picture is one of the first things you look at, your mind can play tricks on you.  For a second, I thought Rian Johnson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were doing a Perfect Strangers reboot.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

I was really hoping for Oma Tres, the bartender played by John Williams in Rise of Skywalker.  

So no Katherine Waterston? She was the best part of the first two, which isn’t saying much, but if she’s not involved, I’m out.

Which is funny because I don’t think whoever owns the rights to the show right now really cares. Not streaming anywhere, no physical release since the regular dvds 15 years ago that are now discontinued. I have to wonder if the current holder of the rights even realizes that they own it.

I have the DVDs, and there is one episode that skips on me and won’t play, so last time I watched the series, I tried to watch that youtube upload of it. Cropped top and bottom to near-incoherence, and they all run juuuust a little too fast, so everyone sounds like the helium they inhaled is about to run out. I…

Moonlighting was the first non-kiddy TV show I made a point of watching or at least taping each week back in the day.   Always hoped he’d give us one more comedic role before he hung it up.  

I don’t know.  Seeing the Enterprise destroyed and replaced with the Enterpirse -A at the end just smacked of Into Darkness where they tried to recreate the emotional beats of the original movies with a cast and a ship that we had barely gotten to know.   When Kirk blew up the Enterprise in The Search for Spock, it…

When my wife and I moved into our first apartment together, we rented a U-Haul, drove to my old place, loaded the truck, and then stopped on the way to the new place to fill it up. I used diesel, because the last time I had rented one, that’s what it used. Also because I’m an idiot. When we got to the new apartment,…

Way back in the early days of DVDs, before Blu-Ray became a thing, they released a big special edition of Speed with tons of extras and stuff. At Wal-Mart, you could also buy a set that had a bare bones dvd of Speed 2 packaged with it. The set with both movies cost one cent more than the first one by itself.

If there’s not already a strip club in Orlando called Fantasyland, I’d be shocked.
