In high school, every Saturday me and my buddy would hit the record shop, buy a new album, then hit the comic book store and load up on new floppies and back issues. Then we'd sprawl out on his bed and listen to music and read and swap comics all day. PERFECT DAY.

If you're screenplay requires your MC to explain the theme of the movie out loud to a psychologist, and for the mechanics of the plot to expositioned to the audience by passages from the psychologist's book you have not written a screenplay you have written story notes.

Glitch Techs and the whole crew behind it deserved so much better. Some of the best people I've ever worked with who loved animation and cared deeply about the show. I'm always glad to see it mentioned and not forgotten.

In a bad mood today for reasons. If I don't write, I'll still be in a bad mood but have no words done. If I do write, I'll still be in a bad mood but have some words done. So I should write. But my bad mood doesn't care about my logical mumbo jumbo.

If The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension were made today there would be 7 movies about each individual Hong Kong Cavalier with a post-credit scene in which Banzai recruits them, plus an animated prequel series and a prestige live-action series about the World Crime League.

My husband has been gradually rewatching all of Stargate SG1 and our 11yo in particular is hooked. The youths yearn for long-running problem-of-the-week adventures that allow you to invest in the cast over many seasons!!

Paramount is celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Star Trek by having cancelled all Star Trek on TV and not having any movies in production. The one movie in development is going to focus on the classic Star Trek values of ... institutional corruption and the "bad apples" of Star Fleet. yay.

This high praise from the AI search summary is impressive when you consider how little Ladd has to work with. His repair shop runs mostly on salvage, is in the post-apocalypse, and entirely fictional. He still gets the job done!

The one immutable law of preschool is that you get the behavior you are willing to put up with. This applies to universities hiring racists too. If you hire a racist you are going to have a racist problem. Why are you surprised?
