    Streaming Media & Corporate Censorship

    I'm relatively certain it's happened much more broadly than this example (and I'd be curious of any instances people know) because it's been a criticism/concern I and others have had since streaming media started (and, even to different degree, beforehand *cough* Song of the South *cough*), but...

    Rendezvous with Rama...at the Box Office!

    That's right folks, according to The Hollywood Reporter (which may or may-not be reliable, I do not know), there's the initial rumblings of Arthur C. Clarke's second(?) most well-known navel-gazey, spacey, floaty, series coming to the silver screen. Previously, it seems none other than Morgan...

    Television You Maniacs! You Drew It Up! (Hulu resurrects Animaniacs)

    It's something that approaches the level of intriguing me enough to pay for and override my cheapskate soul (is Hulu one you have to pay for? I can't keep track of all these kids and their dang-nabbin' streaming-services anymore, even. Don't look at me like that. Get off my lawn!). Starting...

    Mel Gibson Returns as...the Fatman himself?

    I am tangentially aware of the foul-mouthed Aussie actor having something of a limited, grindhouse comeback as an actor--even heard good things about 'Dragged Across Concrete'. But now it seems he's gotten himself a starring role in a Christmas movie. As SANTA CLAUSE. That''s right. The arc of...

    Tanks for the Memories: USMC (proposed) Changes

    Alternative bad titles for this thread include: 'USMC doesn't want anybody to tread on it' and 'Every Marine a Rifleman (now much more literally)' :p As reported by WSJ https://www.wsj.com/articles/marines-plan-to-retool-to-meet-china-threat-11584897014 And as 'The Drive' also offers some...

    Indiana Jones and the Septuagenarian Actor

    Apparently, another Indiana Jones film is in the early stages of work--as in, they're apparently still working on a script and the other 'basics' (and tossing it between various writers), and it could still get put on hold and what-not because it's not filming--but it's been in the works since...

    Movies Fast & Furious 9: Now with Vitamin Cena!

    Because this franchise cow hasn't been milked enough... Isn't it ridiculous? How stupid and juvenile it all is? How you can tell it's just going to be another dumb excuse-plot that establishes a bunch of big-budget action set-pieces that go off while no-talent hack actors growl about family as...

    New Year's Resolutions (and Progress?)

    Because it's that time of year! What did folks resolve to improve or better themselves or their situation this year? And have you made any progress on it thus far? This is mainly a curiosity of mine, since as a perfect and flawless individual in every manner, I could think of no way or means to...

    United States US Raising Smoking Age to 21

    Because Christmas gifts of stupid shit are a grand holiday tradition! https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/20/health/tobacco-age-21-trump-spending-bill-bn/index.html Included as part of a massive government spending bill largely concerned with defense spending, this comes largely in response to a...

    Let's Read: Gunsmith Cats

    Because now that Nanowrimo’s done, my work-projects and the like for the year are mostly, and there’s snow on the ground, I wanna curl up in pajamas with a warm drink and read like the lazy I am. But why do something scary like read something new and serious that I might not like when I can...

    Movies Superheroes and Star Wars--Art versus Entertainment?

    Spurred-on by an opinion-piece by Martin Scorsese, some choice bits quoted herein below: While Scorsese referenced the Marvel movies directly, Star Wars and others also seem relevant in the realm of being franchises that have to follow some strict guidelines, and generally trend towards being...

    The Great Debate of Our Time

    At least for those of us in some places, tonight is that night where clocks are set back an hour because of...Uh...mumble, mumble, something, something, factory-workers, farmers, mumble, mumble. That's right, Daylight Savings Time is upon us, and while time-traveling backwards does make me feel...

    Drug Policy

    US-centric because I'm in the US and it's what I mostly know about. Much is made of this general topic, with the recent craze being a focus on vaping. But the topic also very commonly suffers from being very absent of the facts...As evidenced by the recent crazed focus on vaping and how it is...

    2020 Dem. Primary: Biden His Time?

    In case you've been living under a rock, you are likely aware the Democrat Party is holding its primary to choose a candidate to run for POTUS. The field has been narrowed slightly from the >20 who were once contenders, and as of this moment seems to be limited in the minds of punditry and...

    Just (dis)Obeying Orders: WWII Military Insubordination?

    Really not sure where this goes, or if it's even of any interest to anyone, but it's something of an oddball interest of mine I expanded into a paper moons ago, and I'd be curious what folks (perhaps in particular any of those with military experience, interest in military history, or are just...

    Battletech Death of the Author (SI)
    Threadmarks: 1 - I Am Become Death...

    Author's Note: My second actual-factual attempt at fanfiction, and the one where I indulge in what I believe every internet-writer is required to indulge in--self-insert. This is more of an experiment in first-person narration than anything else, and since I've read first-person a lot less, and...

    Battletech Make-up the Difference [Battletech crossover]
    Threadmarks: 1 - Wake Up!

    My ongoing (albeit currently in cryo-sleep) first attempt at fanfiction as opposed to bits and bobs of fanfiction on other peoples fanfiction (fanfiction-ception? It's just now occurred to me that's, like, two orders of nerdy magnitude down the rabbit hole, isn't it?). Gradually be putting it up...
