Here are the winners of the upcoming live zoom chat... Quantum Mechanic (James Finch)…

Given the mixed reviews this movie received, I went in with low expectations.  I wasn't expected to enjoy it as much as I ultimately  did.  Yes, it's a cacophonous frenzy from start to finish but as someone who was once immersed in the world of sports betting, I could empathize with our protagonist even though…

Guys, I have an alarming admission to make/  I had breakfast cereal for dinner.  It was a Chocolate Chex - Cinnamon Toast Crunch - Maple Syrup Eggos - Captain Crunch medley with oat milk and almond butter.  I feel like I'm two weeks out from doing my grocery shopping in my bathrobe and slippers.  I…

I received a notification from a subscription service informing us that Akemi's information had been compromised in a hack.  At first I was "This is a scam" - but the email checked out.  In addition to a rundown of the situation, it offered a link to a free subscription for a cyber-security protection service that…

Staying safe?  Keeping busy?  Taking your vitamin D? Production has resumed here in Canada  and so far, so good.  Officially.  Unofficially, however, I've been hearing about productions that have had to quietly shut down.  A couple are back up and running following a mere 2-3 day sabbatical while another bigger one is seemingly down for…

Autumn style. A touch of tongue. Ready to throw down. Personalized takeout from the gang at Zakkushi on Queen! Yum!

Well, this was a lot of fun.  I sat down with the gang at Orville Nation the other day and we talked sci-fi, Stargate, Dark Matter, and, of course, food. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVnX4JELxs0&t=3193s We also discussed the notion of doing a Dark Matter rewatch that would culminate in a weekly Monday discussion in which I would offer…

  In the movie's opening moments, Gal Dove (Ray Winstone) is soaking up the sun on a hot summer's day when - a giant boulder comes tumbling down a mountainside, narrowly missing him, and lands in his pool.  It's an incredibly prescient moment given that, later that night, an unseen force comes barreling into his…

After the first two episodes of Dark Matter aired, one thing was clear - fandom hated THREE. I was seriously worried.  Had I made a huge mistake by making him TOO unlikable? But Anthony Lemke was utterly delighted when I told him.  He'd read the next seven scripts, knew where the character was headed, and had…

Had a great time chatting with the amazing Sabrina Furminger on her YVR Screen Scene podcast.  Check it out here: https://www.yvrscreenscene.com/home/2020/9/22/episode-115-joseph-mallozzi Well, I've completed a first draft of the Project F series overview.  It's a robust but spacious 21 page document that covers everything you would want to know about the series - unless, of…

Look at what Akemi surprised me with the other day... No, not a bowl of dyed child tongues.  Even better!  It's uni - fresh sea urchin!  It's been ages since I've had some.  And sushi for that matter. What particular foods have you been missing during this pandemic? Very exciting.  Had a terrific zoom chat…

Let's kick things off with a little Yes/No compliments of one Alex Mallari Jr. who hit me up with this this morning... https://twitter.com/YPHoustonTX/status/1307716330905374722 I'll be honest.  It's a yes from me (although the honey is optional).  There's a place here in Toronto called Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken that does a version of this - but…

Yesterday, Akemi and I were sitting in the living room when we heard a BANG!, and saw a small bird bounce off our window and land on the balcony.  We assumed it was dead but, some fifteen minutes later, it was up and around.  It hung out for about an hour and then, finally, took…

So, today, I noticed #Caillou was trending.  As some of you know (and Stargate EP Michael Greenburg would never let me forget - "I don't know how you used to do things on Caillou, but here on Stargate..."), this animated series (based on the beloved French children's book series) was one of the first shows…
