Dec 31st - While the scientists working on it had a new years eve party, the in-production law enforcement cyborg "Robocop" woke up.

📽️📅 RoboCop (1987)
3 Screenshots from the movie "RoboCop" (1987): First, a group of lab technicians in party hats wave enthusiastically, surrounded by New Year’s decorations, with the caption, "Hey, look, look! He's watching us!" Second, a close-up of a woman wearing oversized glasses and holding up a festive New Year’s hat, smiling warmly at the camera with the caption, "This is for you." Third, the same woman leans closer to the camera, delivering the caption, "Happy new year," with a cheerful expression.

If the Movie You've Watched Six Times isn't in the league of Bad Ronald or Beastmaster or the American International dub of Mad Max, I don't want to hear about this Hard Mode jazz.

I watched Yentl six times in one month just because it was on.

GUYS!! This is totally rad. Some dedicated fan remastered the 1990 Pee-Wee Herman calendar and tweaked it so that it works for 2026.

Back in 1975, the FCC implemented a short-lived rule which required nets to air family-friendly programming from 8-9 pm. It only lasted two years, but CBS had to move All in the Family to 9 pm. Norman Lear and the cast responded with this awesome remake of the show’s theme: youtu.be/IvrIltxWnS0?...

This makes up for The Andy Griffith Show quiz I took earlier where the answer to the second question was wildly incorrect and for which I'm sure they're still getting angry emails.

A treat on our Miracle Mile tour: we went into Johnie's (Armét and Davis, 1956)! The landmark is now Bernie's Coffee Shop, a mutual aid and organizing hub doing great work to serve the community. One day we hope the grill will fire up again. Learn more at linktr.ee/berniescoffe...

I dozed off earlier, been awake all of about fifteen minutes, and so far everything I've seen on here makes me wish someone would take me down by the creek and tell me about the rabbits.

The current big drama in the increasingly stupid western comic book world: DC released cult classic title Warlord on a (more expensive) paperstock that matches original newsprint, giving a more accurate coloring. Collectors are review bombing in outrage because they think glossy = more expensive.

I conceded my ignorance a long time ago, and have tried to overcome it. And you want to know something? Reading a book is still the only way to do that.
