  1. I’m guessing that bendable Barbies are right up there with Secret Compartment Ken with extendable … But, no, I don’t know who the author is.
  2. Every now and again I put Depeche Mode’s Music for the Masses on to play. It includes a CD and a DVD of collective classics. I don’t know why but I always seem surprised just how good the band is each time I listen to it.
  3. This is a great version of IWTV. I’ve watched the first season and the second season is expected sometime next year. It would be a shame not to continue the series but it’s always a possibility considering the way the powers in control of these things throw things away, as they do. Of course, both the movie and this series take liberties with the source material but I like them all. Because the media is different for each of them they are able to stand on their own for entertainment value while also each having its own nuance of story and dialogue furthering the narrative of the story. I think we all win here.
  4. Well, for this movie I think we must consider the time it took place. But I know what you’re saying and I feel that way too. Of course, we do get the comedies.🙄
  5. I’ve watched the movie and I thought it was darn good. 👍🏻 In fact I looked for it after I removed it from my watch list just so I could post it here but I couldn’t remember the name of it, or where I watched it.
  6. Has anyone considered giving Comicfan (Wayne) a posthumous badge for his longtime contributions? That would be a nice gesture.
  7. If you think that’s bad what’s going on with the phoenix’s feet?!
  8. “Hey, how about that? Teleportation was just invented. Where's the first place you're going? Don't worry, the purple portal pad is totally safe.” I don’t have a clue who the author is. But, I love this question and especially the modifier: totally safe.
  9. I’m not a frequent YouTuber and so I haven’t seen the homophobic advertising. Isn’t there some way to report the adds? It seems to me that there are lots of reasons NOT to be sending these types of advertisements to anyone.
  10. I well remember back when I was a young wipper-snapper that the bars and clubs back in Ohio didn’t close until 2:30am. When the clocks fell back at 2:00am we got an extra hour to find the one we were looking to go home with for some canoodling. Here in MA the bars/clubs close at 2:00am and are not allowed to turn back the clock for extra time so it’s just the usual routine. Now that I’ve aged out of the system if I step inside a gay bar it’s just for tourism.
  11. A long-time favorite of mine, now remastered.
  12. Merli Sapere Aude (Netflix) has the bartender from Smiley playing another gay character, this time in a college setting. The series is quite good, according to me, and well worth the wasted time to watch it, especially if you don’t mind subtitles.
  13. One Wheel of Time show wasn't enough. Maybe, possibly, it might happen that there will be a prequel to the show called The White Tower. Just like Star Trek, The Planet of the Apes and The Hobbit, etc., franchises before it The White Tower is slated to be an animated series. Read about it HERE.
  14. I was in Boston’s Public Garden sitting and chatting with a friend when the alarm went off. I knew it was going to happen but he didn’t and it startled him. Not too far away is a multiplex movie theater. I can certainly imagine the disruption of everyone’s phones going off during the showing but does the movie get interrupted at the pivotal moment?!
  15. I don’t know what kind of tv you have, but have you looked into the settings for it? I have a Sony 55” 4k from 2017 and there are settings for cinema or standard (which is good for older media). There’s even a pro-movie option but that’s too dark for me.
  16. After the most recent episode it seems we are finally getting some meat (of your choice) to go along with all of those potatoes they’ve been feeding us.

    If you haven't read @Sasha Distan Born Wolf put it on your list, highly recommended.
  18. After having watched the fourth episode I have a thought... How many seasons is Amazon planning for this series? I also think this season must be saving the most dramatic scenes for the last few episodes. The amount of background exposition (albeit in video form and great to watch) needs to produce something of a bigger splash in these next few episodes remaining.
  19. I agree that TWOT started slow but I’ve found over time that lots of shows do this with the first episode of a new season. Regardless, there was enough going on to keep my attention. And after having watched the entire three episodes available I find I’m still interested, and happy Amazon is running with the show.
  20. Steve Johnson's quest to avenge his gay brother's death in Australia through securing justice for his murder is going to be shown in a four-part True-Crime docuseries Never Let Him Go on Hulu. Another murder of a gay man was also solved because of Steve's efforts on behalf of his brother, and you can find that information in the article.
  21. Yes, I’ll do the same thing. I hope. I’m glad that Apple is pushing out episodes of Foundation on a weekly basis. The episodes are fairly long but it seems like I no sooner start watching that the episode is over—it’s that good. If they were available all at once I’d run through the episodes like water through a sieve.
  22. I saw that it was in my queue, but three episodes at once is a bit much. Considering the strikes in Hollywood and no new programing coming for a while, you'd think Amazon would parcel the episodes out. Now I must exercise restraint! It's just not fair.
  23. It seems to me that jokes are best when they are not dissected. Although, Lorena’s last name always seemed to me a little too on-point.🫣
  24. Why isn’t there a pregnant Barbie?
  25. I watched it again and it was better the second time around. I thought the sex scenes were well done, nothing graphic but also emotionally believable—after all we do talk a lot about too much sex in stories, or the sex being unnecessarily graphic in far too many situations. I think I liked it more, too, because I wasn’t trying to analyze it this time and I let myself enjoy the movie for what it was.
