It always amuses me to see Jim Woodring's name prominently displayed in the credits of the worst cartoons ever made (in the case of this morning, Lazer Tag Academy)

Letting my mom come visit (extremely stress inducing) the week before the election (also extremely stress inducing) may have been a bad idea. I feel like I haven't slept in a week and my knee is the size of volleyball.

Surely, I'm not the only person who has ended up with "Garden Party" stuck in their head after all this Madison Square Garden talk today

To be fair, we went through a similar phase in the 70s when DPs thought technology (in the case, high speed film) was good enough they didn't need to light nighttime shots anymore. The Hardy Boys was as unwatchably dark as anything shot today.
Remember when you were watching a movie or TV show and you could actually see what was happening on screen? It was a wild revolutionary time. We should’ve known it couldn’t last.

Saw a half dozen flags at half mast today. No idea who they were for, so I'll just assume Donald Miller from Borbetomagus.
I need a website that's just "Why are the flags at half mast?"

I've been reading a horror anthology, and I've finally figured out why I tend to avoid anthologies. It's very hard for me to give up on things, so I usually make myself slog through every story. This one had a story I disliked enough to skip, but just finished another I wished I had.

For every three classic films you buy on Blu-ray, you should be forced to buy one NEW low-budget indie film on Blu-ray.

I've been watching the Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! series early in the morning for the last six weeks or so. I ended up watching the sixth and seventh installments this afternoon while under the weather and am now having an extremely hard time coming back to this reality.

It clearly got cold faster than anticipated this year, judging by the bear that apparently tried to tunnel into our hot tub last night by eating through the cover.
Not sure if this was before or after they chomped on the outdoor furniture.

Ah, Brimstone. It's always fun when a series explicitly builds its premise around the number of episodes they'll need to go out into syndication.
I drove by the Warner Brothers lot yesterday and I guess they are redoing their billboards but peeling them back revealed some nightmarish Picture of Dorian Gray type situation of their 1998 TV output

8yo is going as a custom character inspired by @kaydavault.bsky.social's Star Knights, and I've been tasked with building the non-fabric parts of her costume. I am pretty crummy at woodworking, but I think the staff is turning out okay.

The kid has a stronger need to rewatch things than I do, so we're watching The Scream Team for the fourth October in a row. I am now very distracted trying to figure out if this is shot in the same town as In the Mouth of Madness.
