IDK how many of you are active, but at least the list of folks I'm following is starting to look a lot like 2010 Twitter.

Kind of a bummer that ninjas aren't as prevalent in real life as I was led to believe growing up in the 1980s.

So this is how summer starts this year? With the death of Brian Wilson?

MCU: Just re-watched The Incredible Hulk for the first time in years. It was actually pretty great and makes me a bit sad for what they turned The Hulk into in later films. Not that I don't enjoy me some Ruffalo, this was just so more grounded, maybe?

I need someone to put in touch with Alan Tudyk ASAP. Need to know if his speech in Resident Alien was directly lifted from Paul Boehner's audiobook narration.

I've seen a handful of videos ABOUT PHONES this week where people have their phones lying flat on the table and twist their arm to unlock it with their thumb. You know you can register a second finger, right? So you can more naturally use your pointer?

Tonight, I am the old dad just sitting in the stands at the Kendrick Lamar & SZA show. Kids are having a blast though.

While it makes sense to me that movie studios need to protect their IP and make money...
Pirating: bad. No money exchanged. Studio doesn't get paid.
Bootlegging: bad. Money exchanged. Studio doesn't get paid.
Buy used: okay. Money exchanged. Studio doesn't get paid.

Is a constant light ticking coming from a mechanical hard drive something to be concerned with? Enterprise drive in a NAS. No issues, diagnostics all fine, not even that concerning, just curious.

People of the internet. What are some movies or shows that you wish were streaming or can only be had in physical form?

Honestly? Did not hate this. The armor looked fucking awesome, creatures were pretty well done. Decent fights, blood fountains, and kills. Bit too long at 2 hours though.

The Crow 2024 is one of the worst things I've ever watched. Remarkably, it takes the top spot on the list of shit Crow movies. There are essentially 2 important parts to a Crow movie - a love that survives death and cool action sequences. 2024 failed on both.

Started watching The Crow: Stairway to Heaven this week and the funniest thing is Eric Draven just getting a job at a nightclub.

US copyright is so fucked. Like it blows my mind that stuff from the 30s and 40s is still protected. That's some horse shit. Why can't we get rid of the copyright office? Ohhhh yeah. Corporate money.

Having been AWARE of it for the last 35 years, I finally watched the first episode of Cop Rock. I think it's more bananas than I expected. It's a relatively serious show, but then BAM musical number. Can't wait to watch the rest.

Four perfect albums from the year I turned 16. That would be 1992. Now you know the year of my birth and my age if you can do simple math.
Morphine
Neil Young
Stone Temple Pilots
R.E.M.
Bonus pick: Rage Against the Machine's debut.

I'm flying into Philadelphia tomorrow morning (on my way to NJ for work) and figured it's probably really important for me to visit the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall since I've never been. Honestly might make my family drive down with me next month to visit as well. Just you know...a reminder.

Freaked out a little last night when I got an invoice for my VPS and it was up to $45 from $10. Like I know I've been working on it a bit and backing things up, but didn't expect a jump like that.
Turns out my email domain just renewed. 😄
