Me, dancing around while making breakfast and projecting a sense of innocent joy.

What my kids probably perceive:

Does Jennifer Hudson actually interview people on her show or do guests just dance down the hallway and end up in an empty soundstage?

I’m decades late to this, but Bullitt is a pretty great movie. It’s even better if you occasionally shout “Get ‘em, Bullitt!” at the screen.

Where do you get your news? The guy breaking things down from the driver’s seat of his car or the guy breaking things down on his walk?

Actor: “I’m going to dramatize this character’s inner emotional turmoil by having him drink a glass of wine in every scene as he numbs himself to the pain.”

Me, watching: “That wine looks good. I wonder what he’s drinking. I’m gonna have some wine.”

Some people like it when their kids are at the “Why is the sky blue?” age. But I’m thrilled my kids are at the “Alexander Skarsgard is hosting SNL this week, what’s he promoting?”age.

Frankenstein Castle - Wikipedia

I just learned that there’s an actual Castle Frankenstein.

We don’t have any of the live TV services so our evening is a tour through the seedy underbelly of low/no-cost streaming NYE programming.

When Avatar came out, I imagined what it would be like to be a human traveling to Pandora.

With Way of Water, I put myself in the mindset of a father protecting his family.

With Fire and Ash I want to be one of those people who die and they put them under a tree and leave them alone.

There are no debates about how remastering ruined a classic book. You never have to worry about a new system that won’t run your favorite book anymore. You can enjoy the story equally if the book is brand new or if the pages are yellowed. It’s incredible!

“I like big butts and they cannot die.”

Licorice allsorts, up close.

This is what sand looks like under a microscope. Amazing.

“This is how Bruce Springsteen would eat spiders!”

Without that movie we probably wouldn’t have gotten The West Wing.

Car headlights sure are strong these days.

My advice to fantasy writers: Showlkien don’t Tolkien.

I’ve been taking in a whole lot of American Revolution history recently and every time I see or hear Benedict Arnold’s name, I think about the time he was a “ghost” in Scooby Doo.

I feel bad I don’t have much of an inheritance to leave to my kids. I might start being really mean to them so they can at least get a good memoir or two out of me.

If you happen to kiss a special someone under mistletoe this holiday season, be sure to look them in the eye and say “That one was for Burl Ives.”

He wishes he could play the mamba.

I would watch this show.

Let’s not forget when he suggested that Stephen King had taken the idea for “It” from Wes Craven and “Nightmare on Elm Street.”

It is possible to know too much about your favorite movie boogeymen.

I’m a big fan of “The Night Wire.” I don’t think you’ve shared that one yet.

A thneed is a fine something that all people need.

No Mothman? The kids today…

That’s the only way to get through all the books.

Sorry, gramma. You’re *just* outside the gift radius. Hold on to next year.

I just love the idea of someone having a special pair of pants that they relieve themselves in whenever they go see a scary movie.

Saw a horror movie recommended online by a guy saying “I hope you have your shitting pants on!”
