NOT appearing: Agents of Shield. Bastards.

It became obvious who would win once the Penguins outflanked the santas by coming off the cliffs. But all the rendering doesn’t make up for crappy camera work. The camera operator panned & swooped so randomly, that was the true crime against Christmas.

Giz has a lot of good points, but they sometimes go for the wilder take. I loved Kinja’s Ferguson coverage.

More like the barons coming to King John, telling him what not to fuck with. Do you seriously think Larry Ellison is going to listen to someone else?

Christ, I had to read this before bedtime, West Coast. My brain imploded. Thank goodness my daughter was awake. “It’s like naming Gary Johnson special ambassador for Aleppo!”

HelenofPeel brings up some great stuff. At a con in San Francisco around 1977, the script writers for The Motion Picture were there, and talked about how they only used a fraction of Roddenberry’s original idea. It was still unclear whether the film was going to be shot. They gave the impression that the studio was…

Wow, where’s this from?

I just finished watching it, and it’s as good as it looks. This could run alongside the American Masters documentary about Disney without missing a beat. The coolest thing in the film is Floyd himself. He seems incredibly fun, and his character permeates the film.

Listing features or non-features might make a better article than a blanket “you suck!” I use Waze as my go-to app, as its full of real-time driving info. Apple is OK for short hops, and on my computer I love their flyover city tours and 3-D views. I find Google hard to navigate, and an overkill for daily use. I’ve…

Fascinating read. We’re watching in real time the Brown Shirts organize themselves. I’m glad though, these are mostlygroups gathering in cyberspace. We know how to break them up, though, which is to give the employable ones jobs, so like the rest of us, we’re too tired to do much damage. I worry the national policies…

Heinlein placed him as a psychic immortal living near Mt. Shasta in California.

Picture of an iPhone. Nothing in the article about iPhones. Perhaps run a picture of headphones plugged into a dolphin’s blowhole?

Technology has improved for most people. The average grandparent uses the wireless router attached to the modem the ATT guy puts in. The password is on the bottom. And that’s all they know. In a lot of ways this follows the Apple dictum that “it just works.”

I remember that film. On a par with Scooby Doo mysteries.

He was terrible! Added here?

II figured this out a long time ago. Really the only choice: the clip-clop of a horse’s hooves on cobblestones. (If you’ve got a cheap car, it’s the sound of two coconuts.)

Maybe someone can explain the appeal of the BotP cartoon series. I tried watching a series DVD I’d picked up, and it was unwatchable. I couldn’t make it through a whole episode. Does it have to do with kids watching it when they were 5? I know I can’t watch the speed racer eps I loved when I was young.

Me: Reads headline. Says “Again?!” out loud. Thinks, “thank god.”

Blazing saddles campfire scene. Drops mic.

Where’s the entrance to Buffy’s giant basement, and the rest of the bathrooms? I mean all of those junior slayers and one bathroom? Yikes!
