July 7, 2023: Farewell schnitzel, a possible change of scenery, and sundry points of interest!

Behold, the Wooden Platter! One final hurrah as my favorite schnitzel place, Country Style Hungarian, closes its doors after 62 years.  A bittersweet - but utterly delicious - final meal that has hosted the likes of schnitzel-appreciating celebrities like Carl Binder, Alexander Ruemelin, and Ivon Bartok. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1676682828950433792 On the bright side, they are responding to…

July 6, 2023: Stargate SG-1 outtakes!

Today, I dropped off about a dozen more cassettes for digital transfer, dailies covering two more episodes: Revisions and It's Good to be King.  Meanwhile, working my way through the footage for Window of Opportunity and Wormhole X-Treme and came across a few more great outtakes... Director Peter DeLuise exacts his revenge on writer/Executive Producer…

July 3, 2023: Fasting!

Intrigued by all this talk about the benefits of fasting, Akemi and I embarked on our respective fasts yesterday.  I felt better prepared because I tend to, inadvertently, practice intermittent fasting - not eating after 6 p.m., skipping breakfast, and then not eating again until 11:00 lunch the next day - roughly 17 hours.  Akemi,…

June 27, 2023: Behind the scenes on Window of Opportunity – Daniel Jackson edition!

So I've been going through dailies from my old Stargate days, specifically, recently, footage from production on two episodes: Wormhole X-Treme and Window of Opportunity.  I've been pulling various clips and posting them for fans to enjoy but, as I said yesterday, for more meaningful, dedicated clips, I've decided to send them to individual cast…

June 25, 2023: Suji Sunday!

Summer has arrived! Denim Diva Massage time... Expressing her frustration... Big yawn... Gang girl... Lights out!    

June 24, 2023: News of Note!

Well, that was fast.  I went to bed last night considering the prospect of a coup that would topple Putin in Russia.  15 hours later, the conspirators decided to call it, packed up, and went back home.  Somewhat...anti-climatic.  But as events were still evolving, I was reminded of someone of someone I worked for back…

June 22, 2023: Stargate SG-1 outtakes!

Finally going through the digitized versions of some of those old dailies I recovered from my storage unit.  Went through the Wormhole X-Treme footage and now starting on Window of Opportunity.  Came across some really clips - five of which I've uploaded here. Also came across some hilarious clips of Chris Judge laughing uproariously for…

June 20, 2023: Oh, look. Another comic book movie!

Honestly, guys.  The spurious use of "highly anticipated" and "leaks" has rendered these two terms devoid of any true meaning. https://twitter.com/CBR/status/1670856377126748175 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1670890983171452929 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1670948763081355268 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1670980274677587968 It all reminded me of this... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1670968612486537216 But anyway, I'll probably get around to watching that Kraven movie around the same time I watch that Morbius movie or the sequel to…
