For that general diversion from world politics to light-hearted snark against government words versus actions in general...

I have to admit, I haven't gotten into the nostalgia kick to watch Cobra Kai. Then again, I was a kid in the 80's who never thought The Karate Kid was brilliant. I appreciate the pop culture value, and some of the quotability, but I never really liked most of the characters and thought it was a pretty generic of that whole genre. I have way too much backlog of tv to catch up on to add to that pile.

I have ended up sinking way too many hours into Empyrion just doodling around in the creative area experimenting with building starships....

True Lies and Last Action Hero are truly great films. I'd even say Last Action Hero was a film ahead of its time. That, and it had an amazing cast plus Charles Dance glomming it up as the villain.

Amusing, and beautiful in its own weird way...

Caught up on the end of season 7 of The Blacklist. Interesting how they handled the final episode. They were halfway through filming it when covid restrictions locked everything down. Since a couple of months went by without them being able to resume shooting, they got people to animate what hadn't been shot, and had the cast zoom their lines, then put it all together with what had been filmed.

Although to escape from the fun of Bernie memes at the moment..

The causes of Furlan’s death were not made public, but Babylon 5 creator Straczynski hinted that the actress was sick for some time. In the Twitter post with which her death was announced, we read the touching words of Mira Furlan: “I look at the stars. It is a clear night and the Milky Way seems so close. That’s where I’ll go soon. ‘We are all star stuff,’ suddenly I remember Delenn’s line from Joe’s script. Not a bad prospect. I’m not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and feel the beauty around me. And take a breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Exhale. That’s all”.

One that's always amused me knowing, and I tend to re-share it whenever I see it mentioned...
