R.A. "Steampunk" McCandless

Twisted Metal Season 2—Is fine, I guess. Rewatched Season 1 and it was still enjoyable, so not sure what went wrong.They didn’t have the budget for Neve Campbell—but the money didn’t go to scriptwriters. Mackie/Beatriz work hard. The addition of Saylor Bell Burda’s Mayhem was dumb at every turn.

The Sandman Season 2—Is broody. I mean, of course it is, but it’s not as fun as the first season. Every plot point feels forced into place, rather than a cohesive story being told. Dream also seems wholly reactionary, rather than the main character in his own show. Damn shame.

I suspect my dog sees herself more as an early warning system and is confused/frustrated that we aren't immediately choosing the nuclear option.

I don't think Mariner would try to blame it on another parent. She would think her actions were justified until it came out that her child used the weapons to bully the teachers.

But otherwise, this seems pretty spot on.

Tolkien humor always lights up my day!

OMG, please STOP washing your skulls. They're porous!! Anyone washing them will find they quickly take in the soap and leave a soapy taste that is hard to get out. You have to treat these like you would cast iron. You scrub them well, oil them lightly, and wipe clean ahead of your next use.

Return to Oz—Not bad. Not as dark as I remember—I was 12—but still dark. More in line with the books, but I still wanted them to break out into a song. Maybe a remix Tick Tock Soldier by Sir Mix-A-Lot? (Disney+)

Friends, I give you the embodiment of serenity and logic—the Buddha Spock. My 15yo made him for me and he goes right next to my Maltese Falcon.
My photography does not do this thing justice.

If you know, we're probably friends.

Trump Tells Purple Heart Recipients Life Wasn’t So Easy for Him Either Trump dodged the draft, by the way.

Remember when Obama gave a tired, half-salute and the right lost their MINDS!? Where's the outrage over this sexual predator POS president insulting the troops who literally put their lives on the line!?

Oh. Right. Hypocrisy. I remember.

Say this out loud, and then sing along with me in the comments!

You're telling me that when you're programming a sentient/sapient robot, you aren't thinking about it's evil goals ahead of time?

Uh-huh. And why not just leave out the evil code?

Behind every robot that turns evil, was an engineer who installed both blue and red LEDs into the eyes just for the drama.

The Intern—Is chill. I can’t decide if it’s a mediocre movie with excellent actors, or if there was really something there. Robert De Niro just owns with presence and character. Anne Hathaway and crew do an excellent job reacting to De Niro’s reactions.

He doesn't want to start any blasphemous rumors, but . . .

Hahahaha!

On par with, "What? You don't have those!?"

Boss: You're fired.
Me: Fine! Here's my gun and badge.
Boss: . . .

Boss: You're in marketing! Why do you even have those!?

TBF, Reinhardt was on the razor's edge between genius and madness.

Oh 'Murica . . . please do better.

North of North (Season 1)—Fun and funny. A really enjoyable and warm—despite the Arctic Circle location—comedy about life in a small, native village. Here’s hoping there’s a season 2! (Netflix)

Tell me you'll do anything to distract from the news of your pedophilia sex crimes without using those words.

Go fish!

I will never not share funny Tolkien humor, even if I'm not a cat person.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for all those underage kids!
