You're right, he even plays a record. I actually like holo-beings and holo-presence being prevalent in this century, so I should pay more attention.

I just don't like long monologues, they remind me I'm watching a play with actors.

Holly Hunter as Nahla Ake, looking concerned.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy S1E6 "Come, Let's Away"

Paul Giamatti as a hologram all episode leads to some clunky, static blocking that undercuts his monologues and hurts the pacing. How many times can they cut to the same wordless reaction shot from Nahla?

Furies are promising but undeveloped.

Old Worf from the future.

"Perhaps today is a good day to dye!"

Kid about to punch a pro-ICE agitator.

Justice sometimes demands violence. Glad I can say that here without a bot shaming my mental state and kicking me off the platform.

If Marvel fans hadn't been so hard on "Thor: Love and Thunder," none of this would be happening.

Elderly man examining a lottery ticket.

The New York State Lottery helps fund education. People who don't understand math pay for our schools.

Online gambling and prediction markets should be the same. State run only, all profits going to offset the social costs. We don't let private companies run their own lotteries, do we?

More advanced than any 32nd-century clothing technology in "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy."

Italian Olympic curler Stefania Constantini smiling and waving.

My Olympics crush is back on my screen this morning. 💝Happy Valentine's Day Stefania Constantini.

The "Sensurround" in this movie was a big disappointment.

The error was that he was called both "Sam" and "George" in TOS, which SNW also fixes.

Hockey-masked Jason from "Friday the 13th Part III."

I saw "Friday the 13th Part III" in 3D in 1982, back when they used two film projectors to do it. The 3D effect was fantastic.

RealD 3D uses one projector with polarized light, resulting in an image that is half as bright. 35 years of technological progress to make a much shittier product.

You remind me today of a small Mexican Chihuahua.

If you change your mind
On the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take your pants off, please.

Like the "Six Million Dollar Man"-themed plaza stop on the Universal Studios Tour, it lives only in our memories now.

Marvel's "Wonder Man" being the exception.

My position on Gavin Newsome is everyone needs to shut up about it for at least two more years.

The only movie ever released that plays “Staying Alive” from start to finish. Not even Saturday Night Fever did.

The plot is even thinner than "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood" and it is stretched over 2 movies.

Towering Inferno (1972)
Earthquake (1974) in Sensurround
Sneak preview of Poltergeist (1982)

"Deadpool and Wolverine" is exactly the craven nostalgia money grab I expected after "Spider-Man: No Way Home" opened the door to this lazy type of moviemaking.

The people who love homeschooling are the same ones who said that making kids attend Zoom classes or wear masks in class during COVID was going to permanently stunt their brains.

Great female singers are a dime a dozen. Great male singers are exceedingly rare. They typically need to have extraordinary range to stand out.

A summer ago we found a baby robin in the backyard and raised her to adulthood. We'd leave the back door open and she'd just fly in and out as she pleased. One day she flew away and didn't come back. We miss you, Meepers.

Article from 1985 Stanford Daily about John Irving reading excerpts from "A Prayer for Own Meany."

Before the reading, John Irving came to my little Advanced Fiction Writing class for a visit. What an unforgettable privilege.

The climax was Tony in the suit becoming obsolete as Jarvis demonstrated he could be 35 Tonys at once.

I saw John Irving do a pre-publication reading from "A Prayer for Owen Meany." He did the voice exactly as described. 😁

Congrats to US Olympic Curling team Denise Gough and Bradley Cooper for making it to the gold medal game.

Good thing the halftime show was lit, because Super Bowl 60 sucked.

That's three San Francisco Super Bowls in a row that were blowouts.

NBC edited out the remarks by the commentators, too.
