70s/80s kid, now middle age crazy. Folks call me Del.

Imagine if Tracey Ullman or Married With Children were still airing new episodes, the cast members begging to be released from their Faustian pacts.
There are apparently 800 episodes of The Simpsons now, which strikes me as about 650 too many

I feel like there weren't nearly enough interrogation scenes and action sequences involving crouching and such.

As God is my witness, I thought Velvet was the name of the horse.

Some might see this as a criticism of girls in STEM, but who wants their kid to be a physicist? Either they're in a lab attempting to open a portal into a Hell dimension or they're on YouTube trying to debunk Star Wars.
Don't know if I agree with Will Smith executing little Tiffany for carrying quantum physics books in a bad neighborhood at night though

If you've been to Howard Days, you've met "Indy" Bill Cavalier. Bill gives an informative, thorough, and amusing overview of the "weapons, wearables, and whaleborn" found in REH's Conan tales. Miss it not. spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2026/02/15/t...

Suckers. They should've signed up for that in the first place.
Now this is a movie plot!!! Someone understands grad school.

Often I relate how formative 1980 was for me, cinematically speaking. Airplane!, Empire Strikes Back, The Shining, Flash Gordon, just to name a few. They had to drag me to Somewhere in Time because to an 8 year old boy, this looks awful. Nevertheless, I left there happy.

Cohen and Tate is the hottest of messes. I sometimes wonder what it might've been like if Vincent D'Onofrio had played Tate instead.

Harley Cross may seem familiar as he was working a lot at the time. Martin Sheen's son in The Believers and young Martin Brundle (Eric Stoltz) in The Fly II.

They pull this same gag on a couple of episodes of Law & Order, and it never really gets old.

I hope they end EPA regulations altogether, because a nice cool can of freon will really help take the edge off.
