Joseph Mallozzi's Weblog

Saturday, October 14th - 12PM PST/3PM EST... I'll be fielding questions on Jeff Howard's (Oculus, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gerald's Game, The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass) youtube channel.  Come armed with your Dark Matter/Stargate/Screenwriting/Sci-Fi/Food/Pugs-related questions! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1708256348440240513 26 crime shows under my belt.  Loved 2.  Liked 6.  To be continued... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1708185711550034199 Two more development…

I'm thinking about doing a twitter (X) Spaces next Saturday (afternoon?) where I'll field question about Stargate, Dark Matter, screenwriting, and pugs.  Have never used it before, have no idea how it works - so that should make it all the more fun.  Will keep you updated! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1707491382544199874 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1706328883841184114 We've locked down NYC, more or…

Dear Child (2023) A mysterious woman's escape from her harrowing captivity points investigators toward the dark truth behind an unsolved disappearance 13 years earlier. My thoughts: Sets up an intriguing premise but fails in its execution.  This one demands too much of a suspension of disbelief for this viewer. 2.5/5 Lupin (2021 - ) Season…

In a notes session, “starting with the positives” is the animal wrangling equivalent of approaching slowly and speaking in a calm, soothing voice.  It’s designed to relax the intended victim, lull them into a false sense of security. Then, the second they let their guard down, they’re ensnared, bagged, and shipped off to some zoo…

Again, thanks to everyone who left a message about Suji.  For a little girl, she had such a big, demanding personality that every facet of my daily routine was impacted by her presence - and now by her absence.  Another dog will never replace Suji but seeing all those seniors and special needs pugs languishing…

The place has bee all too quiet the past few days.  I actually choked up eating roast chicken.  We need to get away for a while. So we've booked our first Japan trip in five years for December and are looking to do a little more vacationing.  I put out a twitter poll yesterday -…

Many question the wisdom of adopting a senior dog given the limited time you have with them. In Suji's case, we were blessed to have her for almost seven years. She came to us via the Pacific Pug Rescue when she was almost twelve, wheelchair-bound, cantankerous and, surprisingly, not very affectionate for a pug.  She…

So last night was a bit of a long night for me and my gal.  Whereas mom hand feeds her, massages her, and brushes her teeth, dad is in charge of ensuring she does her business and sleeps comfortably through the night.  Akemi has noticed Suji has been having trouble breathing of late and he…
