Ah yes, once again we hope that in the future, something is done about climate change.

The Morn You Know.

Yep, they are doing the same thing. Anything but avoiding acting now.

“The climate has to get worse for the benefit of the middle class” is a weird argument.

“You either fight the Kevin or you become the Kevin.”

Death to Smoochy is such a good movie. It was just terribly marketed.

My friend Garrett Gilchrist has bee trying to restore that movie to something closer to Morton and Jankel’s original vision for years now. I keep meaning to watch it because I do think that the movie had a lot of good ideas even if it was a mess.

People also forget that what most Americans knew about Mario at the time was that he jumped on mushrooms and turtles to rescue the princess.

But Morton and Jankel made both versions of the Max Headroom TV series. I absolutely give them credit.

I really do not know why Dredd didn’t get a sequel. I thought it did pretty well in theaters.

I love every stupid minute of SolarBabies.

“You are Chikani!” is one of my favorite badly-delivered bad movie lines.

If you have not heard the episode of How Did This Get Made about it, you should definitely give it a listen: https://www.earwolf.com/episode/solarbabies-live/

You are not the first person I have read say it about that movie, so I am definitely going to have to check it out.

That movie is so highly underrated.

The Hamlet trailer is worth watching it for alone.

Breakfast of Champions - I don’t care if it totally bastardized Vonnegut, I really liked it.

Mystery Men - Again, I don’t care if it totally bastardized Bob Burden.

Titan AE

The female version of Ghostbusters.

Zardoz.

Hackers. Fuck you if you say one bad thing about this movie. It is glorious.

I love anise. So much. Do you like the salty licorice they like in Northern Europe? I can’t get enough of that shit. Not just salty and licorice, but with a strong undertone of ammonia!

Also, three weeks ago, I went from a country that used only stupid weights and measures (America) to a country that only partially does (Britain) and it has not been easy. I don’t care of Celsius is rational, all I know is that it’s going to be a high of 4 today and of 12 on Thursday and that means nothing to me.

In this case, calling them POWs might be the right move, because torturing POWs is a war crime. So maybe we let them have the POWs thing this time?

That’s my situation too. Got the Kobo Clara Color as a Christmas present for myself (the color was like $10 more, so what the hell) after resisting eBooks for years, and I really love it.

They take almost any ebook type, but they do have their own proprietary format, KEPUB. That’s what their own store uses. Thankfully, Calibre can convert to and from it. Due to Kobo being able to more easily handle zooming in to images and things like that with KEPUB, it’s sometimes worth converting.

I’m told by Tankies that those oligarchs are necessary because you have to go through capitalism to get to communism. (Does not apply to Western nations.)

Also, it’s not fair if you point out that China has more billionaires than the U.S. because they have a much higher population!

Wow! What a genius Zelensky is, conning Russia into invading his country!

Not for many thousands of years afterward.

That sounds cacophonous to the point that it would drive me insane, so I might skip Japan on my travel itinerary.
