Tonight's movie. I'm not 100% sure I've ever watched this one before. Which is odd---I usually have a very good memory for this kind of thing. Well if I haven't seen it before, I probably should have. And I have now.

Perhaps its corny now, or dated, but I still think Rover from The Prisoner is one the better TV monsters ever. I know it's just a weather balloon, but the roaring sound effect really makes it work.

In Terry Gilliam's Brazil, there are no terrorists. The 'bombings' are really exploding gas mains or things similar, due to the poorly maintained infrastructure. The government knows this, but uses the accidents to justify infringing on people's liberties.

Also in Publishers Weekly is THE ASTERIST by @atsayre.bsky.social, which was also featured in PW's Fall Preview! 💫 "The echoes of Andy Weir are loud, but Sayre puts his own spin on the first contact story with enjoyable results." Forthcoming 10/20/26!

The first part of the Publishers Weekly review of THE ASTERIST by A.T. Sayre: "Sayre (Signals in the Static) envisions humanity’s suboptimal first contact with an alien race on a far-flung asteroid in this fun if familiar sci-fi tale. Asteroid Station Commander Jeffries’s stint as caretaker and sole occupant at an asteroid outpost light"

The rest of the Publishers Weekly review of THE ASTERIST by A.T. Sayre: "years from the nearest human settlement is almost up. In the meantime, his days are beyond boring—until he witnesses the crash of an alien vessel entirely unlike the spaceships of other known nonhuman species. A team of first contact specialists is dispatched, but won’t arrive for weeks. Though Jeffries is not a scientist and is explicitly ordered to do nothing by Lt. Cdr. Haruka Aukai, the xeno team’s commanding officer, Jeffries takes it upon himself to make the initial investigation of the crash site. There, he discovers two alien bodies that may or may not be dead and brings them back to his base, where he does his best to care for and communicate with the creatures, one of whom spontaneously awakens. Sayre portrays Jeffries as fiercely individualistic, but compassionate toward the alien (who he dubs “Al”) and clever, making up for his lack of specialized training with smart, informed guesses. The echoes of Andy Weir are loud, but Sayre puts his own spin on the first contact story with enjoyable results. (Oct.)"

I've never been certain whether the first series of Blackadder is actually bad, or just feels like it compared to how incredibly superior the other three series are. But you have to watch it either way to get to the rest.

Folks, Ken Paxton is taking his advice on most of his worst ideas from Alliance Defending Freedom head and Home School Legal Defense Association founder Michael Farris, the guy who wanted to amend the Constitution legalize the parental right to do anything to their children including murder.

Every time I rewatch I, Claudius I discover over again just how amazing Brian Blessed was in it. I always think I remember how good he was as Augustus, but my memories of him are never as good as he actually was.
