Drop a DOOR.
It's a door! From nightmare on elm Street 3. The audience laughed so hard at this moment.

For being in Thailand, I don't really have much The King and I content to share but I did visit Jim Thompson House, the American who exported Thai silk to the world. His business supplied silk for the original Broadway production of the musical.

After a few days in Bangkok, we are now relaxing in Khao Lak. Gorgeous.
A white sand beach, turquoise water and bright blue sky. An umbrella and beach chairs too one side.

Memes on my wedding day
The Mean Girls meme about October 3rd but it's about our wedding day. 

"On October 3rd he asked me what day it was

It's Em and Keith's wedding day!".

Feeling pretty pleased with my new haircut and beard trim. Had to stop myself from saying "your arm is complete" when she pulled out the straight razor.
Me with a new haircut which keeps the curls intact. And my beard, shaped and sculpted with straight edges.

Having just heard that SNW's pitch to bring Shatner back as Kirk was a sequel to City on the Edge of Forever in the style of the Animated Series, no wonder he ran a mile.
"If someone came to with a meaningful way to bring Captain Kirk back to life, and gave him something interesting to do... I would be delighted to consider it. But that has never come up." - Bill Shatner

Oh man, but that's what I want access to!
The library’s popular Theater on Film and Tape Archive will not be included in the digitization effort, she added, as that would require a “very complex rights conversation.” But she did not rule out the possibility of something being worked out in the future.

Using an image, show an episode of Star Trek you are sure you’ve seen more than ten times.
Ben and Jennifer Sisko look at Ben and Jennifer Sisko, the vision hazy, because it's part of the wormhole aliens trip through Ben's linear/non-linear timeline. Deep Space Nine, The Emissary. The best Trek pilot ever. One of the best pilots ever. You exist here. Life changing.

As the La Mama IMMERSE program comes to an end, I have a new play called Space/Ship. I'm starting conversations about development and programming. But I have a script! And lots of support. I'm so pleased and excited for the next steps. These photos are from the industry pitch session this week.

The show is just Lower Decks now and that sucks.
Parody of Spock's death in the Wrath of Khan with puppet Pike and Ethan Peck, the light draining from the actor's eyes. This is the kind of humour that suits a parody movie. It's cheap. Oooh a reference! See, it's a reference. These writers have seen the thing I've also seen. Star Trek has always had humour in it. Lighten up. No, fuck off.

Listen, I'm not looking forward to the puppet episode as much or more than any of you but remember this episode of DS9?
Poor O'Brien goes through a lot on DS9 and this is hardly the worst of it, but somehow Rumplestiltskin is here (played by Michael J Anderson)

Your writers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Why? I'm in a council area that does collect general waste every week and there's usually only one bag of rubbish in it.

They say all politics is local – and few issues are more local than what happens to your rubbish bin. The Victorian Liberals have announced that, if elected in November, they would require councils to collect general rubbish every week.

I just don't understand how the show goes from this quote from season one to "you must pick a side, halfbreed"
Spock: “You are proposing I better balance my Human and Vulcan natures?”

Dr Aspen: “I’m saying, maybe you’re neither.”

Spock: “That is nonsensical. If I’m not Human or Vulcan, what am I?”

Dr Aspen: “I mean, that’s not my question to answer.”

Didn't realise so many people love Glen Hansard so much. Anyway, he met Markéta Irglová when she was 13 years old, mentored her as a child, recorded an album with her when she was 17 and they started dating as soon as she turned 18. He was 37.
Screenshot of his Wikipedia page
Hansard and Markéta Irglová met in 2001, when she was 13 and he was 31, at a music festival organised by her parents in the Czech Republic. In 2007, during the promotional tour for Once, they began dating. Hansard said of the relationship: "I had been falling in love with her for a long time, but I kept telling myself she's just a kid." The relationship ended after about two years. In 2008, he took a four-week filmmaking workshop at the New York Film Academy.

Happy 40th Anniversary to ALIENS. I do prefer the original, but I did translate this film into a stage show called Shakespeare Aliens using rhyme and meter and deploying some sick puppets.
