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...

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.

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...

I clicked on "The Pretty Big Girl Thread" and I can't unsee it.

OMG- She needs a Ruger, or a S&W or a Colt!

OMG- I bought Death Road to Canada. Yup, I'm a spazzz.... Game is funny as hell but I have no idea what the heck is going on when I am playing it.

I'll try it.

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...

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...

Back to school...

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...

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...

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...

Okay, I know, I am bringing on the "barfs," but I think she is kinda hot! But I like that look.

I just had a meeting at a company with someone who is pretty inexperienced in her job. Their organization was requesting a large project be constructed. I don't have to take their work. I don't need it (or really want to be involved with them). But it is a moderate sized project (which their...

Awesome!!!! I finished book 8 and am waiting for book 9. Expanse is one of the best sci-fi series (novels and TV) period.

We just got a smashburger nearby. Three of us had a classic smash. We also had smash tots, sweet potato fries and smash fries. 2 milk shakes (no malteds; we asked). The burgers were okay but TINY. The sweet potato fries were good. The smash fries were greasy and overly flavored with...

Wow. Does this ever look BAD... I think there is a film school in New York that has an assignment to make a trailer of a film cross-genre (google "The Shining Trailer Comedy" if you want to see what I am talking about an get a good laugh). But, back to the point-- how hard is it to make a...
