Chicago Sun-Times prints a summer reading list full of books that don't exist

Fixed it for you. 😀

I actually have those discs with the laserdisc transfer. You can play around with the settings and get it watchable, but it wasn't really worth trying to get them from where they're stored at for a subpar experience.

Went to free comic book day on Saturday and picked up some free and non-free comics. Sunday was the 4th so I watched the original Star Wars (well as close to it as i could get, the special edition). Today I just worked.

Kudos for the "Death Probe" reference!

I think that episode actually was a time travel thing, IIRC. Pike gets a vision of what happens if he changes his fate (because Pike had a vision of his future injury in Discovery) so in that case he's the Captain, not Kirk for Balance of Terror..

In the classic series, Kirk mentions meeting Pike when he was promoted to Fleet Admiral (i think that was the rank). They contrive a temp promotion for Pike to not violate that.

Second episode of Sherlock & Daughter. Wasn't sure if this was going to be one of the shows that was all in on a season arc, or a series of little mysteries that are part of a bigger. Seems the latter based on them resolving the first issue. Still enjoying it.

Sinners (2025) very good movie. Tight plot, interesting characters. Just well done all around.

Fan used blender to recreat the fight between Godzilla and the MUTO from the 2014 US Godzilla film, but as if it was done in the original Showa Era films with suits and miniatures.

Juvenile colossal squid observed at natural depth:

Watched the premiere of the CW's "Sherlock & Daughter". David Thewlis is Sherlock Holmes, Blu Hunt is Amelia Rojas, from California and of Native American descent (and I'm guessing Spanish ancestry as well based on the surname). Sherlock is stymied by a blackmail plot that has put Watson and Mrs. Hudson under threat if he intercedes in an ongoing plot that involves kidnapping the children of ambassadors in England. Amelia Rojas' mother has been murdered and was left a message by her mom that if that happened, Amelia was to find Sherlock Holmes, her father (which he denies when presented with the idea). She travels from California to London and shenanigans happen leading Holmes to realize that Rojas presents an opportunity for him to act without tipping off whoever has snared him in their trap (probably Moriarty). I feel they give Amelia enough of a background sketch in the opening that it goes towards explaining why she is a skilled and capable potential partner for Holmes. Thewlis and Hunt are good. I like the cut between scenes using map shots showing people travel, Raider of the Lost Ark, style that actually give an interesting idea about how much time it might have taken to travel in the time period. There's an aspect of it that is anachronistic, not unlike the 70s shows set in the 20s and 30s that were both period & 70s at the same time. Not enough at this time to be a bother. There's an invention mentioned that reminded me a bit of Murdoch Mysteries ahistorical inventions. I liked it enough to give a few more episodes a try.

I rewatched all 4 recently. Should rewatch Supergirl at some point, but I don't think they did a 4K remastering on it like they did the Salkind's Superman films. Also watching the Salkind's Superboy series atm. Lol.

Wish I could preorder the Switch 2. 😞

Watched Powell and Pressburger's THE RED SHOES. Great visuals, and a good dramatic storyline. Moira Sheerer, Anton Walbrook and Marius Goring make a good triangle (not sure it can really be called a love triangle, even if love is a part of it).

Which means Δτi = ((xi - mi) / mi) since (ε * φ) = 1 if I'm not mistaken...
