I know, Button. It was a rough 2025 for all of us.
A frame from Stargate: SG1 season 10 episode 15, βBounty.β An audience applauds what they think was a technology demo but was actually a thwarted assassination attempt. The dude in the front row has the most amazing GIANT RED MANE of Sideshow Bob hair that ever Carrottopped.
βOk, we just need some extras for an audience scene in Stargate: SG1. Make sure theyβre just normal, average people and that nobody stands out in particular.β
This has to exist somewhere, right? Checks. yup: youtu.be/mXOpGlmAjoY?...
I miss the old pint graphic design. The B&Js in Burlington, VT had a top-lid freezer full of factory-second reject pints you could buy for like $1.25. Youβd find Heath Bar Crunch pints with no Heath Bar in them (or too much Heath Bar!).
I had one (might still have it β I know I still have the instructions) and I could crush the magic square game (game 5).

This gen x kid rocked this not at all dorky zip code lunch box in the mid 70s.
Tell me you've never actually seen The Terminator without telling me you've never actually seen The Terminator.
Typing this from Burls, it's true that the vibe of the city has shifted in the last 20 yrs in ways locals notice & don't like, but it's a shift happening in LOTS of small towns. Also true that like many lib cities, it's hard to get ppl to agree to the low income housing that will help the problem.

My starting word was the word! First time ever!
Itβs a sign from the heavens that this article was published on my birthday.
Streets of Fire is such an odd duck of a movie. Absolutely iconic visuals (and Willem Dafoe!) but Michel Pare canβt really carry it. Good double feature with The Warriors (also Walter Hill). Miracle Mile is great.
Maybe the specific details matter less than the big fact that she dies. Like, if Bones had saved her, theyβd have had to kill her to save the timeline? So the deets in the obit are fluid, or something. Spock knew them, but they didnβt actually matter.
FYI your post made me dust off my Letterboxd and I think I'm going to actually start using it, so thanks!
Safe. Not a Todd Haynes fan -- though I haven't seen it since it was in cinemas. I just remember it feeling like they ran out of money and just stopped making it, rather than writing an ending. It had a creepy, cold, Kubricky vibe, but no. π€·ββοΈ
It's a very good list. My immediate thought was that it's missing Stephen Soderbergh's Schizopolis. There appears to only be one film on there I actively dislike and a few I haven't seen. Squee!
I know this is serious and concerning, but all I see is (yet another) AI butthole graphic.
throwback to 2008 and my stoned laugh as this EMB145 swept-wing commuter jet stalls and plummets from the sky.
What heady time to be alive. Truly the peak of American culture, right there. Honestly, this was an outstanding burg.
I love that Spin Doctors song!
Double rainbow across the sky!!!!
Pot oβ gold, here I come!
Would Mr. Spock ever use emojis? ππ€
That maturity and realism was in the DNA of the original show too, evident in many episodes, just masked by campy f/x. Agreed TMP gets a bad rap. Itβs too long, but a solid Trek film - one of the best in the franchise. π

I love how in Mission Impossible: TFR they are fighting against an AI that wants to control the information super highway. The script could have been written in 1993.
A side-by-side comparison of two images. The top is a frame from Andor depicting a video screen showing a surveillance shot of Dedra Meero with a grid and text (in Aurebesh -- the in-world language of Star Wars) superimposed on the screen, like a data readout. The bottom frame is from George Lucas' fist-ever science fiction film, "THX-1138," and it shows a video screen with Robert Duvall's main character on it, and a VERY similar grid and text readout. The Andor graphic is a clear and obvious replica of the one from THX, because the graphics artists who made the on-screen text are clearly superfans.
I see you, Disney f/x nerds.
This rundown of local creemee spots by @sevendaysvt.bsky.social's Chelsea Edgar is excellent and a fun read. For non-Vermonters, "creemee" just means "soft-serve" but when done right, has a higher fat percentage. #vermont #creemee
lol, and also ew.
I have a cat that likes to jump up on the counter next to the toilet and rub its face against my torso as I stand and do my business. No boundaries at all.
