I just saw the news. Where? On the marquee of the Grand Lake Theater, Oakland’s coolest movie house and old-fashioned city message board.

Here in Oakland, CA, there was a city-wide mailing from the coal industry asking us to turn against our city leaders and “out of towners” the Sierra Club, to force them to open a coal shipping depot in our town. It’s obvious that big carbon isn’t going to go down without a fight. Their solution to North America going

The Bay Bridge is exactly where they want to go, but apparently it's not glamorous enough.

In Weird Science 16, during the days of Kukla, Fran and Ollie, an hand puppet, Allie the alligator ran for president. As a joke candidate, he won, and turned out to be a space parasite that attaches to a human arm. As president he made everyone get a space puppet parasite. To any adult it’s a ridiculous story. To a

Isn't congress in charge of funding DC?

Of course he knew about the planes. He was flying around in them while secretly filming the fake moon landing.

The Beyonder sported lock curly locks, and a shirt with lapels that reached into the next dimension.

Silk Spectre, Silk Spectre, please let the threat be Silk Spectre! Oh... It’s Dr. M I guess. Phooey.

IIRC , his character was supposed to be over 100.

All I can think of is Tina from Bob’s Burgers passing out.

I don’t get why folks go apeshit for Jeff Goldblum. I don’t dislike him. (He’s not Steve Gutenberg or Ashton Kutcher.) But what’s to love? He always seems to play the same one-note character.

I thought it took 20 years for a new generation of adults to grow up and get jobs to buy tickets, as no adult from 20 years ago would pay to see the sequel.

I'm curious why there are human remains near the barracks. I'd assume they'd bury folks in particular graveyards away from common habitation. Anybody know about burial habits back then?

Best news I've heard all day. Still looking for the Jamie Lee Curtis scenes as his mom. At one point I thought EMR was a pseudonym that Thomas Pynchon might have written under. It only took a bit of detective work to learn I was wrong.

Great, only 52. Now I have to buy 2 sets to do my minor trumps of my tarot deck.

SURPRISE!
