Picked up a lot of new followers (mostly bots, but let me pretend), and so this is an intro post.
I'm an Appalachian-born, devoted Angeleno with a long executive career in film, TV, tech, and now sports. I love talking about movies, comics, Star Trek, Star Wars, books, sports, music, and travel.

I constantly get ads pushed in various web pages that tout "the most realistic game ever". Is that what gamers really care about? I want orcs and aliens and visual style, which usually means less realism. My son's favorite game right now is Piku Niku, which is delightfully unreal.

Kinda hurts to see something from 1988 referred to as vintage. I'll just be over here slowly turning to dust.

A very belated shout out, but I really enjoyed this edition of the Holiday Special. We can debate episodes, movies, captains and everything until the Buhgoon come home, so it was nice to hear so many different representatives of the franchise talk about what makes it special.
IT'S HERE! The 2025 INGLORIOUS TREKSPERTS HOLIDAY SPECIAL is available now wherever you listen to podcasts and on You Tube filled with tons of special guests, Scrooges, #StarTrek & Santa. Merry Christmas and a very Helen Noel from The Treksperts.

I was literally just thinking about how it was time for me to watch Wild Strawberries again!

Joe Kubert on the perils of digital art in a 2012 interview with Paul Levitz.
![A page of a book with the following text:
You can correct the mistakes that you've made, because of that sense that it's not irrevocable. vou become less and less sure of the stroke that you're putting down. When vou put down a brush or pen, a stroke is almost irrevocable.
If vou give [the artist] a tool where he can take it back, voure losing an immediacy and the worst part of it is the artist himself suffers. If you start worrving about one stroke, you're done. And once you adopt the kind of feeling where vou sav to yourself, "I'm not afraid, and I'm going to do the best I can under the circumstances and it'1l be the best work I can do at this time- my next iob will be better and the next one will be a little better." You lose that if you have a piece of work that vou feel you can work on forever, because
that computer allows you to do that](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rjn5ldqwqshnbkal7zpr6yls/bafkreifqfpi7etbckzcyjvxtatjab7maodozoef2uacnilwhkq65bnu44m@jpeg)

The reruns of Friends on Nick at Nite are obviously compressed for additional ad time... the cast sound like they've been sucking on helium balloons. I suppose all involved are happy to cash the syndication checks, but feels a little gross to me.

Yeah, the hands thing is not a story to me. It's like none of the resistance skeeters have met an old person.
I’m a physician. The most common cause of bruises to the dorsal hands in an elderly Caucasian man would be solar purpura—fragile skin due to age, prior sun exposure, and sometimes anticoagulants (blood thinners). Hand bruises aren’t proof of IVs. Also IVs can go places other than hands.

A writer in LA is like an old-timey door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman, only you have to pitch your way thru everyone in the house, including the dog, and no one’s ever home. And you have to make the vacuums.
Eventually, months later, they let you know they’ve decided to stick with a broom.

Zero-tolerance for displaying the insignia of an enemy military that both of my grandfathers went to war against, one of whom survived a Luftwaffe attack on his convoy while serving in the Coast Guard. Slap in the face to him and all who died in that war.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”
