I grew up in the “Marvel Generation”, where villains have to be complex, with nuanced motives. Evil is never absolute and everyone is a hero in their own story. A whole lot of us aren’t willing to point at someone and just say “That’s a bad guy.” And it’s kind of a big problem right now.

I used to push people to spend at least $60 to get the PBS Passport app, because it gave you access to LOTS of local programming from affiliates all over the USA. If you make local PBS shows, I urge you to upload them to an accessible service.

This is the game that took over my life while the rest of the world discovered Pokémon

This marks six years since Star Trek: Discovery prompted me to make homemade donuts

Prototype of an Al Bundy action figure. (they hadn’t quite perfected the feature where he puts his hand in his pants)

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

There is an intense discussion about sorting comic books in “The Lost Boys” that makes zero sense to anyone who has ever really sorted comics

“Ah, but they aren’t violent until I’ve edited them." —When asked how such a ‘nice lady’ could edit Martin Scorsese’s movies. HBD, 👑 Thelma Schoonmaker...

I have a tendency to collect video games based on bands (Journey, Marky Mark, Spice Girls) and I think this needs to be added to the list. Yes, I have problems, but this particular one isn't in the top five.

2026 is the year of not putting up with any shit. Friends. Lovers. Family. Doesn’t matter: babe, you’re amazing and you deserve people in your life who recognise that.

In video games, a waterfall will never NOT contain a secret area. It’s physics, or something.

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you. Hi, I’m a sports drink.

I’m a screenwriter for comics, live action, and animated TV. Algorithm gods please connect me with kindred spirits: - Sci-Fi / Fantasy fans - Disney Enthusiasts - Film & TV nerds - Artists - Comic Book geeks - Writers - Producers - Mixologists - Project Managers - Forgotten Women in History buffs

Tell me you’ve never owned a ferret, without telling me…

Nailed it.

How I am walking out of 2025.

Plastic waste is one of my biggest pet peeves. But this is a new low: a single twist tie individually wrapped in plastic.

Early Bird pricing on passes ends TONIGHT. Makes for a great gift for the geek in your life.

Apparently, at the drug store around the corner from my place, some guy learned that one cannot rush in to buy a soda while leaving one's truck unlocked and running. Amazingly, bad things can happen. Can you believe it?

3 persons away from the magic number 😆

Christmas, mid 1960s (also playing in fall weather) - 8mm film youtu.be/vH5ub3q-N6Q

Dumb Story Time: I remember a really bad week in college… the details are unimportant, but I came home on a Friday and just wanted 12 hours of sleep, Star Trek, and solitude. Problem was I had a roommate who would disrupt all three. Fortunately , I knew he planned to go out for the night. /1

If SkyNet were actually run by Boomers and TechBros with no real-world experience, T2 would have been a much shorter movie.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains. (I blasted this CD when I didn't want to leave my room. It's on every road trip. I screamed it. I cried to it.)

If you’re the kind of person who wants to keep “Traditional Values”, it’s traditionally not 80 degrees the day after Christmas. You might want to look into that, thanks.

Re: "old people" in fandoms/gaming: My 1st video game was Pong. My generation literally created gaming. I still write fanfic & enjoy the art of others. Why? Because I CAN. So, children - don't give up what you love over some BS notion of immaturity. Life is literally too short.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. Wishes of hope and hospitality to all.

Quote your favorite pic of you from 2025 (Admittedly, this is a year I spent way more time behind my camera than in front of it. Mental health was better that way)

I got a lot of problems with you people, and NOW YOU’RE GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT!!!

Just learned that musician Jim Stringer, who contributed to the Centron shorts seen on many episodes of MST3K, has passed away. His family has commented that they plan to celebrate his life with music and laughter. Let's honor Jim by following their lead.

I wrote about It's a Wonderful Life and The Best Years of Our Lives as films helping Americans to process the trauma of the first half of the 20th century in Selling Out Santa. Spoiler: the FBI had a problem with these films that promoted empathy, healing, and communal answers to communal problems.

Poll: Which Starfleet captain would be best at Tetris?

Half price tacos.

I think I will make “You’re not thinking fourth-dimensionally!”my go-to insult for 2026.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

If it’s true that, when you die, you see your life flash before your eyes… then a VERY large chunk of mine will be me at DFW and my flight has been delayed. Protip: that’s the part of the show where you should sneak out to take a leak. You won’t be missing anything.

“Danny Boy” is a song about grieving for people who are still alive but no longer in your life.

Some of the most unhinged short films ever made were the “music videos” that accompanied LaserMedia laserdisc karaoke tracks. I am begging them to make these public, because the world needs those fever dreams preserved.

Garfield also used to use “goat sacrifices” as a benchmark for a good party.

Remember how there was a time in the late 90s when The History Channel was one of the best things on TV and people would talk about WWII documentaries socially, including historical parallels? Then HC switched to reality shows and pawnshop drama? It’s possible that affected our media literacy now.

It's ludicrous to me that Air Supply hasn't yet been incorporated into the canon of Star Trek, Stargate, or any other major scifi saga. Let's make this happen.

I will say that as a trans fan of MST3K and RiffTrax for 15 years now, it does warm my heart to know people like you have our back and that we’re welcome in this space. Thank you so much for that.
