Well, I've seen the trailer for Andy Serkis' adaptation of George Orwell's "Animal Farm," and I imagine the pitch meeting went something like this.

All the crap on the internet, yet I can't find that series of Nike commercials that counted down the top five football players of all time and always ended with Al Del Greco at No. 1 except for the time he was No. 2 and the announcer broke down crying and couldn't finish.

Things that scream 1970s: "Special guest star Sandy Duncan." Yeah, I'm watching the "Return of Bigfoot" crossover of The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman.

MST3K presents: Separated at Birth?

The the bio of our last good president, "A Man of Iron: The Turbulent Life and Improbable Presidency of Grover Cleveland," is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. You're welcome.

Leonard Nimoy presents more of tonight's Halloween viewing....

My last free night before Halloween, so I'm getting in the old favorites. (I've already rewatched The Great Pumpkin twice.)

> GO UP LADDER I do not understand 'go up' > USE LADDER Use ladder with what? > CLIMB LADDER You climb the ladder > LOOK You are in a museum gallery. It is dark, but a display case glints in the dim light. > EXAMINE DISPLAY CASE It's full of jewels! > PICK UP JEWELS You take the jewels.

We used to be a proper country.

PICTURED: Artificial Intelligence trying to create art.

*sigh* Somehow Palpatine returned.

Terry Gilliam doing the titles for the Vincent Price vehicle "Cry of the Banshee" is the team-up we didn't know we needed.

The guy who thinks masked government thugs should snatch peaceful people off the street to be tortured in a foreign gulag would like to say a few words about warped, violent ideologies.

He removed most of the content I like. But Tubi appreciates my viewership.

Tapping the sign

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Thinking of upgrading my DVD copy of Hitchcock's "Frenzy," but I'm not sure I want to see the food the chief inspector's wife cooks in high definition.

I am seriously confused. Who is The Question in DC Comics continuity right now? Is it Renee Montoya (who was perfectly fine as a cop) or Vic Sage? And is Vic dead or not? Simply ridiculous DC never capitalized on Vic's Justice League Unlimited popularity spike.

The revelation that Buford Pusser (of Walking Tall fame) was likely his wife's real killer is the least surprising plot twist ever. www.wtvy.com/2025/08/30/l...

Do it anyway and clog up the courts. You answer to a higher authority.

1) This dangerous lunatic is spouting Naomi Wolf-like woo-woo bullshit. 2) A president in his right mind would fire this dangerous lunatic. 3) A non-chickenshit Congress would impeach and remove this dangerous lunatic. 4) Instead, this dangerous lunatic is attacking the CDC. Right now. Tonight.

RFK Jr. is the most dangerous person in the Trump administration, and that is some stiff competition.

Calling this man an insane person is an insult to the insane

As you watch the extraordinary spectacle of Trump's government attempting to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, let's not lose sight of just how lawless and indefensible Trump's misconduct has been all throughout. Here's a thread recapping all of it. 1/

1 month of coffee and aluminum tariffs' impact on a product that is mostly coffee and aluminum. Thanks, Trump!

It's not healthy for Jack Elam's characters to appear in movies with Charles Bronson.

Watched episodes on "Department S" I found on YouTube before bed last night, and ended up with a hungover Peter Wyngarde loitering around whatever dream it was I was having. Not recommended.

FBI Director Kash Patel is out with a tweet: "NO ONE is above the law." The premise of the administration in which Patel serves is that Donald Trump is above the law, and so are his aides, Jan. 6 rioters, businesses and oligarchs who play ball with him, Tina Peters in Colorado, and so on. /5

An "economist" so dumb I had to explain to him how the import price index works last month will now lead the BLS, kill me

@willmckinley.bsky.social Am I correct in thinking MPI's longstanding license with Dan Curtis Productions has expired and Kino has picked it up? Because apart from Dracula and some of the other DCP TV movies being announced by Kino, I'm hearing whispers about Dark Shadows, too.

Everyone needs to get a fucking life.

The '80s would have blown Fredric Wertham's mind.

And sometimes the very powerful and the very stupid are one and the same.

@franksantopadre.bsky.social Love the new podcast. I'd forgotten how much I missed this.

And now we know...

Trump is making this tariff thing personal.

My verdict on James Gunn's #Superman is it's the best superhero movie I've seen in a long time, and it's certainly the best James Gunn movie I've seen. Full remarks: letterboxd.com/pulpculture/...

The most hilarious thing with the Superman/Star Trek/Doctor Who/whatever "was always woke" claim is it's always followed by an example of the character(s) expressing anodyne liberalism as if the modern "woke" left doesn't regard liberalism as just another form of fascism.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

MAGA movement seems to be collapsing into conspiracy theories about their own conspiracy theories. It is like idiotception

So, has anyone else had "MacArthur Park" stuck in their head since that show of force in MacArthur Park the other day, or is it just me?

Me on July 4 vs. me on July 5.

You don't really appreciate the Declaration of Independence until you get the DVD with the deleted scenes

“The accumulation of all powers legislative, executive and judiciary in the same hands, whether of one, a few or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” #JamesMadison #IndependenceDay #PrayForAmerica

Stupid Disney kids are going to think this is a rip off of The Lion King.

You might think it impossible to combine the worst economic ideas of William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan, but the Trump GOP is gonna give it a try.

The Galactic Empire has lost one of its finest officers. RIP, Kenneth Colley. www.bbc.com/news/article...

My NYT movie ballot.

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:
