We grew up on this in the 70s.

Me in my BlueSky bubble.

The film Mr. Mom is 43 years old.

Friends: Would you have any interest in seeing the He-Man movie? Me:

There is quiet. There is silence. There is the total absence of vibration of the air. Then there is the audience after the new Scary Movie trailer.

I was at a packed 7pm theater on a Sunday.

The gravestone will be eroded within a month from constant areas of urine.

This weekend's pre-Mandalorian movie campaign of FOUR Minion videos, including their latest trailer, makes me murderous in a way I am not proud of.

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu is the weird, fun, cool Boba Fett movie we all wanted when we were ten. The Lieutenant LOVED it.

Electric Six put the car in reverse.

Doom commands you to hush that fuss.

In the aftermath of Helene, our county authorities posted video press conferences when we had barebones cell service. We had no idea what they were trying to say, and the intended audience seemed to be people outside our region.

Hell yeah, Isis.

My superpower is pausing the credit animation at just the right time, every time.

The NYT didn't even issue an alert about the gunshots. That's how routine this is.

Media statements to cover absence from a wedding.

Seeing Mandalorian tomorrow. I saw A New Hope in a theater when I was six. I was with The Countess when she saw Star Wars in a theater for the first time in 1997. The Lieutenant got to see Revenge of the Sith (his favorite) in a theater with friends last year. Star Wars in a theater is a good time.

My online book club just finished The Bloody Chamber, and Carter is the business. You gotta see how she moves through a variety of story types and styles. It's a Jenga tower of skill sets.

I was reading the latest @rspwfaq.com review of '80s NWA wrestling, and it's the beginning of the 1986 Manny Fernandez betrayal of Jimmy Valiant, and that might have been the story that got me watching it weekly. Jimmy was goofy, and Manny was cool. And then ...

The Bride is on HBO Max. Give it a try. It is such a big swing with really good actors.

I played Hastings in a stage production of Black Coffee.

I applied to be a comic strip artist for the college newspaper, and it led to a 36-year career making and running publications.

When you volunteer to mind a classroom of AP students for their exam, and one of them doesn't show up, and you go through the NORAD Cold War binder of instructions before learning how to mark the kid so the ding-dang test can start, and the kids can stop holding their breath in anxiety.

The new NAACP boycott campaign against college athletics in states that disenfranchise minority votes is strategic, audacious, & potentially seismic. Can you imagine the impact of the other conferences taking in a generation of athletes? The ensuing cultural earthquakes? naacp.org/campaigns/ou...

I intentionally call Keats "Kates" and Yeats "Yeets," and one day my English teacher wife will bury me alive in the back yard.

Sting's face paint reminded him of Oreos.

The Lieutenant has his first AP test today, and while he has enjoyed the course and studied and prepped, I'm slipping a little folding money to the local coven as a safety net.

"C'mon, baby, knight my squire." Jim Morrison karaoke at the Ren Faire.

If the White House UFC show is June 14, and the biggest name in MMA is fighting July 11, it sounds like the White House show is an advertisement at best. Also, again, fighting outside in DC in summer sounds like a guarantee of a shit evening for everybody.

The winning song of Eurovision should be that year's World Cup anthem.

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have in your phone.

If you have ever ordered online from Hot Topic or Box Lunch, delete your account now. I have repeatedly received suspicious emails/texts directly from their domains regarding my account, and customer service disavows them. If you have a payment option saved in your profile, delete that at least.

The Countess didn't grow up playing video games or play them at my invitation, but she will watch and listen as she does her work. Today she used the word "tank" while talking to The Lieutenant about Rivals, and, people, I never knew my heart could go supernova like that.

Master and Commander and Grogu

The Countess lived and breathed Starblazers as a child. When the series was available on DVD, I bought it for her as a Christmas gift, and we spent the whole break binging it. She taught our toddler the theme song. She mailed the DVDs to her brother so HIS family could watch it.

The funniest thing would be Gary Oldman cast as M for the next James Bond, but Oldman plays it as Jackson Lamb.

More than once tonight, I have watched SmackDown until a commercial break, flipped to the Cubs/White Sox game, watched either team bat through three outs, and switched back to SmackDown just as the commercial break is ending.

Gimme Lupita Nyong'o as Odysseus, working twenty years to get back to Anne Hathaway.

The absolute shock of this movie. Hearing my wife, The Countess, cackle at camera angles and engine noises. Driving way too fast on the drive home. Put this back in theaters.

I am going to structure my day to end with an hour playing a spooky mystery video game and creating a spooky mood template for my sleeping brain. I don't see how this can work against me.

My actual parents

His title reign will end with his Thanos dust solemnly swept into a dustpan.

Ann Nocenti editing Chris Claremont.

If The Odyssey movie doesn't start with Michael Caine yelling Hwæt, I'm walking.

Radagast but specializing in movies.

Glorious.

Seems low honestly. Only three days? Maybe in one streaming service, but these songs are tattooed to the inside of my skin.

Did the flood put out the flaming sword in Eden? Inquiring minds want to know.

Can't wait for Forbidden Do. #AEWDynamite

Look for us in #AEWDynamite tonight in Asheville!
