For some reason, Calibre hasn’t been working on Kindle books since it moved to Version 5.   

I strongly suspect that had James Gandolfini not died IRL, Tony’s “fate” might have “actually” been different--or at lease left vague.

The best thing about the Smith era were Amy and Rory. And Amy. Also Amy.

Production actually started before the pandemic. They were shooting parts of it in Chicago back in early 2020*. You know, just before...

(* I think I said late 2019 in an earlier post, but it was, in fact, January of 2020. It all runs together these days anyway...)

The imagery of the quarantined airplane still sticks with me. Such a great book.

I know they actually filmed at least some of it in the U.S., because they were shooting scenes near my office in downtown Chicago back in 2019.

I know—it reminds me of those scammy Facebook ads for “sales” that say “Sadly, we are closing our collection...” Um...this is the first I’m ever hearing of you.

Shame they can’t get a good showrunner for her final season. Let’s hope they at least found some decent writers.

QUILTBAG+ is the streaming service. $5.99/month or $50/year.

Um...Kanye? Why would you be having listening parties for an album that wasn’t out? Those typically correspond with the release—that’s the whole point.

Hard to get much more iconic than:

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
and
“Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”

Yeah, I thought this approval was going to cover the full scope of approved ages for the Pfizer vac. Excluding the 12-15 group is going to hinder mandates for high schools.

The man understands story arcs—that’s for sure.

I always assumed it was a smaller ship that was attached to a larger one (or series of larger ones). Kind of like with camera flashes. You have the main flas, and the ones you connect to it to fill in the light in other areas are the slave flashes.

And the hi-fi system reviews.

Without a doubt.

I hope the last episode has everyone going home from Korea, except for D.W, who opts to stay behind.

I wanted to like this a little bit more than I did. I’m withholding judgement until I see all six episodes, but for right now, it’s falling short of Galavant, which is more of what I was expecting (and still the gold standard for self-aware musical comedy television series, imo). Maybe that’s just on me.

Bad idea all around, even if they get the rest of the case to sign on. It wasn’t just the actors who made the show so special—they worked well with the material they had. Will the original creators, writers and show runners be back? Obviously David Angell cannot return, but what about Peter Casey and David Lee?

He spent a few billion Jeremy Bearimies in the Bad Place, a few more million in the Good Place, and then he got to become a real live boy.
