October 4, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Halloween-ready! The look she gives you when she thinks she's being left out. Flashback to her street tough look. Enjoying her spa day... Displaying her Japan team colors before the big match!
10 Most Underrated Stargate Episodes
So I came across this article the other day... 10 Most Underrated Stargate Episodes It's a lot of fun, but I do question some of the episodes included in this list, not because I don't believe they're deserving, but due to the fact I don't consider them underrated. Maybe by critics or the greater audience…
October 2, 2020: The Crime Club reconvenes to discuss Uncut Gems!
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…
October 1, 2020: Let’s chat!
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…
September 30, 2020: And one from the Dark Matter vault!
Those who know me know that I'm a huge anime fan. Back in Vancouver, my collection was 3000 dvd's deep. So it should come as no surprise that Dark Matter was heavily influenced by the genre, everything from the character of FOUR and his connection to the Principality of Zairon to FIVE who is a…
September 29, 2020: Hey, remember when writing was done on a typewriter and you had to actually visit the bank to do actual banking?
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…
September 29, 2020: How’s everyone doing?
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…
September 27, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Autumn style. A touch of tongue. Ready to throw down. Personalized takeout from the gang at Zakkushi on Queen! Yum!
September 26, 2020: Who’s up for a Dark Matter rewatch?
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…
September 25, 2020: The Crime Club convenes to discuss Sexy Beast!
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…
September 24, 2020: Favorite Anthony Lemke Dark Matter moment? Go!
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…
September 23, 2020: Interpret my dreams!
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…
September 22, 2020: What foods are you missing most during this lockdown?
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…
September 21, 2020: Yes/No, SGU, and mobile satellite platforms with fully automated defense systems!
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…
