    I thought this was the girl who played Mary Jane in the new Spiderman movies. Almost (but not quite) made me not hate her. But now I realize it isn't her-- so I can still despise the concept of the new Mary Jane:

    Pisses me off. Total tobacco lobbying move. A few people die nebulously connected to vaping (bad science) BUT 500,000 people DO die each year from cigarettes and vaping has been cutting into big tobacco's bottom line...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Excuse me, millenials... when the fuck did America become Mexico or Spain or Morocco?!? A 4:30 appointment (especially on a FRIDAY) means 4:30. I was out the fucking door after 30 minutes of waiting on a day when I did not have to be there at all! PS- don't text me at 5:07pm to tell me your...

    Carnival Row

    Steampunk spun off from cyberpunk by William Gibson (the father of cyberpunk and coiner of the term "the web."). He wrote "The Difference Engine" that led to the coining of the term "steampunk." But of course, the precursors to the genre had existed for over a century before Gibson (Conan Doyle...

    The Fast Food Thread

    They are spicy, but then again, I swear they are made of salty, cayene-infused sawdust. Chicken? Doubt it... Chicken byproducts. Most likely. Try eating a few and then not drinking a quart of liquid within an hour.

    Carnival Row

    After watching this, I watched 2007's "The Golden Compass." I think that may be the best piece of steampunk ever put to (non-anime) film... But I stand by my statement that Carnival Row tried very hard for the title. I am currently re-watching Carnival Row. It IS pretty darn entertaining. I...

    Health Problems

    Absolutely. Minimalist diet. My colleague; young, healthy, active found out he had a HbA1C of 14%-- he barely eats much more than beans and leafy veggies now, but he has packed on muscle and his HbA1C is now under 5%. All diet.

    Carnival Row

    Finished it-- a phenomenal bit of steampunk. I've seen and read so many stories that incorporate steampunk motifs, but I truly believe Carrnival Row's purpose was to be the ultimate steampunk series. I can't decide whether it is or it isn't, but it tries so hard and achieves so much to that end...

    The Rook

    I enjoyed this dopey, super-secret-spy-organization thriller. Attractive cast, hackneyed premise (that's okay), beautiful cinematography, X-men vibe, and clearly the first part of a (hopefully continuing) story. Lead actress isn't the best. She's anorexic and kind of hot, but when she is called...

    Pennyworth

    I am watching it. LOVE: -the build-up in the first 3 episodes. The weird pastiche of artsy/film noir/60's-psychedelic/bond. -the acting -the sets -the peculiar immorality/nihilism -the "quick-cuts" of either intense foreshadowing or just plain wackiness (like when they showed the "dog...

    Nintendo Switch 1 and 2

    I swear I am ready to give up on my Switch. I bought a pro controller because there was no way I was progressing on Hollow Knight with the Joy-con controller. Then I was given Breath of the Wild. And, while that game is fun-- I am kind of a spazz at it too. Also, I am not sure I have the...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    There was a massive traffic jam 2 days ago that significantly delayed my trip home. An enormous amount of road-construction, coupled with the opening of schools, I thought, created a perfect storm that I could not get around using my usual side-road alternatives. I assumed an accident...

    He also did the Star Trek reboot movies which were, IMHO, awful, derivative, brainless and wholly un-Roddenberry. M Knight made some good movies in the beginning too...

    Scenes from movies that make you cry?

    Most recently? It was a TV show and I can't believe I really cried... OK-- spoiler ahead. so stop reading now if you don't know. Also, feel free to thrash me as I am unequivocally ashamed that I did cry (but then I got mad). Last episode of "Veronica Mars" season 4. Can't remember ever...
