Worst: A number of worthy contenders here but I think hot dog seltzer edges out the leek ice  cream. And you?

April 11, 2024: Sundry Matters!

Someone is parked in my parking spot!  I received the news this morning, went down to check and, sure enough, there it was, sitting there in all of its shiny white Audi glory.  I was annoyed.  To be fair, I sold my car some five years ago and either walk everywhere or occasionally use public…

April 10, 2024: Amazing Covers!

A few that caught my eye this week... Thundercats #3 - cover art by Declan Shalvey Action Comics #1064 - cover art by Jorge Jimenez Action Comics #1064 - cover art by Michael Walsh Batman: Dylan Dog #2 - cover art by Gigi Cavenago Batman: Dylan Dog #2 - cover art by Gigi Cavenago Green…

April 9, 2024: The Crime Binge continues – A few to my liking!

Traces (2019 - 2022) Season 1 While attending an online forensic course, young lab assistant discovers that the fictitious case study has a link to her past. With the help of two female professors she works on bringing a killer to justice. My thoughts: Okay forensic thriller that never quite attains the lofty story-telling heights…

April 8, 2024: Anti-Eclyptic!

Yesterday, I sat down to desserts (and mocha) at Geste Croissanterie with astronomers Lauren and Seery who were planning to brave the crowds for today's eclipse.  And Lauren came bearing gifts: a pair of eclipse-viewing glasses and a stuffed sharky for Sharky! We chatted Stargate, Dark Matter, books, and telescopes as we sampled four desserts:…

April 6, 2024: Stargate bloopers and outtakes you may have missed!

April 5, 2024: Eclipsalypse Now!

So, how're you all ushering in the Eclipsaylpse?  Apparently, people are attending watch parties. From what I understand, it's dangerous to stare directly at an eclipse so you either have to peer at them through a pinhole in a piece of cardboard or watch them in mirrored reflection.  Or is that basilisks?  I always get…

April 4, 2024: Watching!

A snapshot of my Letterbox'd horror ratings - from my favorite films to the movies I'd recommend to my enemies... I'd say almost 300 horror movies.  At the time, I thought it quite a feat but, fast-forward a year (or two), and I'm approximately 280 shows into my ongoing Crime Binge.  And I've been listing…

April 1, 2024: The Crime Binge continues!

One of Us is Lying (2021 - 2022) A brain, an athlete, a princess, a criminal and a "basket case" walk into detention--but only the first four make it out alive. My thoughts: Gossip Girl-like murder mystery centering on soap and teen angst.  A light-weight adaptation of a pretty good book. 2.5/5 Irmandade/Brotherhood (2019 -…

March 31, 2024: Sharky Sunday!

Sharky braving the elements in Lulu's hand-me-down hat... Brrrrr.... He loves to get his teeth brushed... Just trying to leave the house can be an adventure... Not sure what's going on here... Sharky loves peanut butter... Coffee outing...

March 30, 2024: Updates!

Some of the recent supervillain-themed t-shirts that arrived over the past month.  I've amassed a pretty sizable collection, none of which I have worn.  I've been waiting to get a green light for a summer show so that I can show off a different villain for every day of prep, production, and post.  Unfortunately, the…

March 29, 2024: The Crime Binge continues!

Warrior (2019 - 2023) Season 1 During the Tong Wars in the late 1800s, Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy from China, immigrates to San Francisco and becomes a hatchet man for the most powerful tong in Chinatown. My thoughts: I found it unbearably cheesy, but action fans may not mind. 3/5 Mindhunter (2017 -…
