Following morganth is not for everyone.

People who are allergic to BODY ONCE TOLD ME jokes should not follow morganth.

Side effects of following morganth may include mild amusement, bafflement, and reinforcement of the stereotype that people who live in can’t shut up about NYC.

Ask your doctor if following morganth is right for you.

Also, I had no idea that he had directed “Police Academy 6”. That...uh...was not one of the better Police Academy movies.

(Okay, there was only one good Police Academy movie. But it wasn’t that one.)

If my last name were Bonerz, and I had a son, I really don’t think I’d name him Peter. Dude did okay for himself anyway, but middle school must have been miserable.

(Yes, I’m watching old episodes of Bob Newhart. How did you guess?)

Anyone know what's going on with cybre.space? I haven't been able to access it all day.

Tagging @chr, although I'm guessing if it's down they won't be able to see this and respond.

Idea for a scene: The hero gets a call from a friend, saying, "You have to see what's on TV right now."

The hero turns on the TV, and flips through 200 channels of crap, and by the time they get to what the caller meant them to watch, it's over.

The caller leans that next time they should be more specific.

Also, I understand now how you could see that movie and think, “that would make an excellent TV series”. There are lots of questions that the movie invites you to ask and then doesn’t even try to answer. The TV show is trying to answer them.

Also, Michael Crichton really had a thing about “what if amusement park but it goes horribly wrong?”, didn’t he? Did he have a bad childhood experience at Disney or something?

I’m watching Westworld, the movie, tonight. Here’s my impression of a dialogue between two studio execs that led to this movie being made:

“Hey, it’s the 70s, and everyone wants to watch sci-fi movies.”

“Yeah, but we have all these oldtimey sets. What should we do?”

Tonight my Rodney Dangerfield movie is “Meet Wally Sparks”, and I’m enjoying it way more than I thought. He’s always great, but it’s not just a showcase for him. Lots of celebs in minor parts clearly having a great time.

I made an art.

It's the first time I've done installation art, and guerilla art at that. I don't expect it to stay up for long, but if you're you can go see it in the North Woods of Central Park.

Dungeons & Dragons is in the business of selling fantasy. Not the stuff with the magic and monsters -- the part where you *actually believe* that you and several other likeminded adults will be able to coordinate your schedules on a regular basis.
