Unless we are giving out wishes to change the fabric of reality there is nothing that can be done. Flying sucks and unless you can afford a better seat there’s nothing that can be done about it. Anything else is like putting up curtains in a jail cell.

Barry has reminded me of Silicon Valley: the whole season they get deeper and deeper into trouble only to get a new lease on life at the end of the season.

Someone has had some PR coaching on how to say things without actually saying anything.

Am I the only one that enjoys Bob’s Burgers more or less in spite of the singing not because of it? A little goes a very long way with me. The only hesitation I have in going to go see this Friday is that I am worried I will have to endure a ton of songs.

Comics have a long history of incorporating the changes that film/tv/radio have made to the characters. So how long until the comic book version of Ms. Marvel’s powers get changed to match the show?

It seems like the real theme of the season is shitty parents. All the anthology episodes have had shitty parents and Earn and Van have left their child with Van’s parents. I wonder if that is going to be brought to the front or just a background theme.

I love D’Arcy but I’m always amazed that after all this time of covid and online interviews that people are still doing interviews with shitty sound. I understand not wanting to have a mic in camera but that isn’t an unsolvable problem.

I’m going to add Disney. I do not get the appeal. At. All. If I had kids, I might go once, or if I lived nearby, but I know people who go every year. They spend tons of money to travel there, stay in a hotel, and go to a place with crowds, kids, and lines. That’s my idea of Hell.

I spend most of the time looking at my car from the inside of it so I can’t see the front so I don’t really care. Of course that is easy for me to say when I live in a state that doesn’t use them.

The college I used to teach at had motion sensor lights in the offices. They would go off on me all the time and I would have to wave my hand around in the dark to turn the lights back on. No thanks.

I saw the picture and my first thought was that he had died. Glad he is still around!

My friends and I have legitimately been talking about a trip to Cleveland for the last two years to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

AMC might be an even better deal since they seem to be offering the first month for 99¢. I rejoined for 99¢ for the first month back when Dune came out, cancelled a couple months later, and just rejoined and they gave me the same 99¢ for the first month offer again.

You can’t really deal with audience reaction in pre-production but they should have had some days for reshoots scheduled.

Maybe that’s why it felt like the characters were restating their motivations all the time. There was even the montage of things we just saw a few minutes ago. It was still an interesting experience but it felt lacking for me.

“It’s not every day when an MCU show goes out of its way to recreate arguably what’s one of the most fascinating episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yes, I’m talking about season six’s “Normal Again,” the premise of which found the titular slayer confronting a reality where all the misadventures she’d been having…

I am lucky enough that I live in a small city and I bought a house close enough to work that I can ride my bicycle on warm days. I just looked and nearly all the houses for sale in my area are listed for way less than 350K. There are certainly times when I think about living in or near a larger city but then I look at…

It really is weird they had so many really dated references in one episode.

With the conservatives allegedly boycotting Disney (I’ll believe it when I see it), I’m surprised Universal Studios hasn’t bumped up their advertising but they were already anti-Harry Potter because witchcraft.

Chuck Braverman: being voted on by your peers is everything. Comic book films and franchise movies would be nominated every year if the show was written by a network buyer, but that would be self-defeating and the Oscar would be a joke.
