Each year starting in January, I start keeping a list of great movies that I think may end up on my top ten of the year list. That list finally has ten movies. Many more to come. We'll see how things shake out at the end.

welcome to bluesky. if the word "mapquest" means anything to you and/or you used it as a verb, you're in the right place

As if 2025 wasn't bad enough, I guess I have to agree with Rick Berman on this? Contemporary dialogue in current Star Trek has taken me out of it quite a bit. I don't care about cursing or whatever. But I recall the "dude" drop in the "Picard" pilot and that entire interchange felt very weird

Boosting the Kickstarter for the Doug Drexler Star Trek documentary. 9 days to go, and still have a ways to go. If interested, chip in if you can. There's still some cool backer rewards.

Tonight is again a wonderful reminder that “vote blue no matter who” is a dreadful and unsuccessful rally.

If this “deal” doesn’t preserve the ACA, primary every single one of the democrats who vote yes to reopen the government.

Primary every Senate Democrat — if you have any self-respect. (I know you don’t, and you won’t)

Maybe—just maybe—sports leagues getting in bed with gambling companies wasn’t such a hot idea…

I dunno, seems like sports gambling was a mistake.

When an elusive Star Trek production item I’ve been trying to get goes up for sale but I didn’t see the listing in time 😫

Bob Nightengale gets a lot of shit, but this is a hell of a headline.

You gotta give it to the Colorado Rockies. They keep shit interesting, but in the dumbest of possible ways

All I wanted as a kid was Star Trek Legos so I’m glad Santa finally got off his ass and is going to deliver in the last year of my thirties.

Half asleep on a flight watching American Made and suddenly I hear a familiar voice. It’s Connor Trinneer from Star Trek: Enterprise

I don't know if a Youtuber is exactly credible on this, but there seems to be a reduction of what Patrick Stewart is acting in since Picard ended. I was hoping for one last interesting role from him, not just another Marvel thing. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Sorry to those who wanted more of the “Kelvin” movies, but this should put an end to the near-decade of “will they or won’t they?” with these. Let’s also hope the TV side gets a similar “fresh” take. I think it’s needed, though I’d be interested in seeing some of the new shows renewed there.

My goodness, Linklater’s newest film, “Blue Moon”, is wonderful. Easily will be in my top 10 of the year.

Baseball is a game of heartbreak. The Blue Jays were at the alter, only to be devastated.

Heartbroken to hear about the passing of our dear friend, the great RALPH SENENSKY as he boldly goes into the final frontier of the undiscovered country. He will truly be missed. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/r...

To anyone not into baseball I’m sorry but also get into baseball

My mom got me into Trek when I was a kid and most Trek fans I know/ encounter are women. And the lead of my Star Trek show was a woman, as was the captain of the ship. So shut the fuck up.

I’m having a rare night to myself. I’m ordering a pizza. I’m drinking beer. I could watch something new. But let’s face it, I’m probably gonna watch some Star Trek thing I’ve seen a million times.

Real talk, I think Bryce Harper could have had an “elite” year and he still would have been in the shadows because of what Kyle Schwarber did this year.

This whole thing was avoidable if not for a bunch of sports talk dudes rambling on about a fairly benign set of comments from Dombrowski. And now the most important player in the franchise is upset. This all stinks.

I'm having a particularly hard and heavy week, and this interview with the great Doug Drexler lifted my spirits. The way he talks about Star Trek, and his contributions to it, is so lovely. His enthusiasm is contagious.

I'm watching the Netflix documentary "Who Killed the Montreal Expos" and my goodness I wish they had just used subtitles instead of having a bad English dub on everyone. It's really quite disorienting to watch because the English seems just out of sync with the people talking. Maddening.

What’s so uncanny about this is he nails Trump’s wandering off script thing so well.

Writing Star Trek for your Star Trek show...what a novel idea!

🚨Crowdfunding campaign for a Doug Drexler documentary 🚨 "TREK STAR: The Doug Drexler Documentary is ready to roll camera! We have recorded the first few interviews with Doug Drexler. Production will continue into early 2026, with the finished film debuting in Star Trek's 60th Anniversary Year!"

I threw some support at the Kickstarter for the documentary about the great Doug Drexler, whose artistic contributions to Star Trek cannot be overstated. If you can, throw in a couple bucks. There's some excellent rewards for not a lot of dollars. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jas...

I’m on the 8th US president of my lifetime and I still haven’t seen a remastered Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

I am 39 years old and I have never seen a remastered Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

My dying breath with be “I want a remastered Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on Blu-ray”

I'm watching Deep Space 9 for the first time and oh my GOD it's so fucking good

Seeing people upset about this is weird. Rob had the poise and knowledge to run a team and manage a game. He made a few questionable calls in the playoffs, but none of which defied logic. And I’d say he was fairly challenged by a lineup that did nothings & a bullpen that faltered. Impossible spot.

I mean no disrespect to the Cubs and Brewers, but this makes me mad the Phillies are already out.

I want to support Terry Matalas and watch Visionquest, but the thought of watching two other whole ass Marvel shows to understand what’s happening sounds exhausting and is likely not to happen.

Happy to report that Roofman is a surprisingly fun time! Sad to report that Smashing Machine is quite bad, which is a not so fun surprise given how much I enjoy Safdie movies.

I’ll be open minded and give this a shot for a couple episodes. But there’s almost nothing here that I find interesting.

I’m an avid podcast listener and agree with much of this. But my biggest pet peeve: not planning your ads! There’s one podcast I listen to with fairly prominent people and they just let ads go wherever, often cutting off dialogue mid sentence. It’s maddening

I can't imagine anything of significance being announced for Star Trek at NYCC this weekend, given all the transition. But I can't wait for the day where there will be anticipation for these types of events again. Because that day will indeed come again for the franchise.

The display of Enterprises from First Contact with the Picard figure is a cool thing. I'll definitely be picking that one up

The top image is what many Phillies fans will remember. For me, I want to remember the bottom one — the one of the leader of the team not letting one of his guys off the field after a mistake without knowing he’s got him. That’s some good leadership.

Kudos to Orion for owning up to things. He’ll be the face of this collapse, which is entirely unfair. The lineup failed the pitching the entire series. This is on the 1-9 lineup.

Anyone who thinks Rob Thomson should be fired is nuts. Changes certainly need to be made: But I’m not sure what more a manager could do with a lineup they goes totally inept during the playoffs. Rob has made some mistakes. But this isn’t on him. #phillies

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in one shot

I just rewatched that final play. JT was pointing dramatically for Kerkering to throw to first. He just froze and then panicked. Man. #phillies

If there’s one consolation, it’s that tonight is very likely the last time I have to see Nick Castellanos in a Phillies uniform. And that’s really great. Get him gone tomorrow.

Absolutely brutal way for this great season to end. Can’t believe it ended on a play like that. I don’t know what happens from here, but absolutely no way this team can run this same core out another year. Changes must be made. #phillies
