    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    From what I have heard you have to frame it with a similar take to the MK movie. What , at it's core, are you expecting exactly from a He Man movie? Are you looking for some rebuke or embracing of some cultural side you're fighting for? Or are you looking to see He Man end up fighting Skeletor?

    Yeah, over the last month alone a ton of stocks have seemingly gone parabolic. Giving back 10% probably shouldn't shock anybody at this point. My company is still up over 50% in the last 30 days. (ergo why I've been this "Is this irrational exuberance" monkey for the last few weeks...)

    I think it's that either he, or his people, have convinced him that the stock market is EVERYTHING in terms of the American economy. So now he has to make everything into something which should pump the markets. (i.e. "The Dow is at 50,000!!!!" memes)

    Clarkson's Farm

    Yeah, watched the first episode last night. I had seen on Twitter about his little scare so that didn't surprise me. And of course he played it up for maximum yuks. Looks like the "episode a night" rotation here at Chez Haus will be this and Spider Noir until we run out of those.

    I do admit I would love to see them make an announcement that after fan backlash they have changed up the creative team and bring him out as the new exec producer.

    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    Oh my... Dallas folks have a new holy war. Both the Mavs AND the Stars seem to have locked in moving out of downtown and to the north end of town for the Mavs, and a northern suburb for the Stars. Urbanites are SUPER salty, but the population heat map bears out the logic :

    Stargate SG-1

    Saw an interesting stat that if they were all adjusted for inflation Stargate would have clocked in as the second highest grossing Star Trek motion picture, and the highest grossing ST:TNG movie.

    Stargate SG-1

    Well... The problem was they didn't want a ground up reboot, but they also wanted something new and different enough to draw in new fans. Just the legacy fans weren't enough apparently. Question is how do you appeal to a "modern audience" without turning the hardcores wholly against you?

    Also over time many people cycle out of allergies. When I was a wee Haus I had an allergy list a mile long. One of my Dr's as a child mentioned that every 7 years or so I should get retested, as your histamine system can change as you mature. Sure enough in my mid teens I suddenly stopped...

    Just watched the first episode and am thoroughly enjoying it. The wife and I have now taken an approach that we'll find a show to watch and watch one episode a night, as to draw it out and avoid "The Show Hole" as much as we can. heh She mentioned during it how she didn't feel like she'd seen...

    Street Fighter (2026)

    I'm now at the point of just hoping this does better at the Box Office than the MK movie did. MK underperformed to the point it probably won't get a sequel. But also, it's a question of how much of a real marketing push this will get.
