I've read a couple of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct books. They're really good! Interestingly, he titled one of his novels "The Frumious Bandersnatch," referring to both a creature in a Lewis Carroll poem and my favorite 1960s San Francisco psychedelic rock band I didn't think anyone else had heard of.😂

Jane Birkin!

...to miss about half the season now. 😂

I took a lot of young, upside sort of guys, so Flagg, Buzelis and 3 or 4 others will probably be busts too. 😁

😂 Actually, it looks like autodraft at least gave you something you can work with if AD and Durant can stay healthy. Autodraft can do OK if you don't end up with somebody who just got injured and is out long-term. 😁

I ended up with first pick, so that's bad new for Wembanyaha, who is bound... ⬇️

24 NEW SHOWS OF FALL TV 1968

Pee Wee was a lot of fun! 😂 Ed Wood was good. I also liked his Sweeney Todd musical, but you have to like musicals. I haven't seen the Chocolate Factory and wasn't a fan of his Planet of the Apes either.

Paul Finebaum is at an age where he's thinking "I probably have another move left. It's the Senate and how much can I bank in 6 years of MAGA grift?"

By the way, Finebaum has grated on me since Day One.

I watched it again just recently after seeing One Battle After Another. Hadn't seen it in at least a couple of decades. A wonderful film.

Being a lifelong fan of westerns, The Searchers is my favorite of the bunch -- but what a bunch!

Lucas gives his thoughts on The Christmas Adventurers Club, including something of a real-life parallel. If you've seen One Battle After Another, you might find this interesting.

Here's something for those of you who use free ad-supported streaming services. I was just checking it out myself. It has some live sports content, lots of movies and TV series. A lot of dedicated live channels like Pluto, Tubi, etc.

She looks like a whole different person. But still great!

This just popped up on my YouTube recommendations. If you've been watching Peacemaker season 2, this will be familiar to you. 😲

I wish the Regal near me (even closer than Cinemark) hadn't closed. Even though it had gotten awfully run down, they still had some smaller films they didn't book at Cinemark. And they'd have had this run of classics.

Burton always creates strange, fascinating worlds. Batman, of course. I remember really liking Edward Scissorhands, ridiculous as it seemed at first look. 😂

I'm going to lose to a team that gave up and stopped participating and has two players on a bye. 😂

Moondoggie @moondogrick.bsky.social · 3d

Wow. I guess Sleepy Hollow is an older movie now. That hadn't occurred to me. 😂 I kind of liked that one, actually.

I'd forgotten about Silver Bullet. Not even sure if I ever saw it. Probably did on HBO or Showtime in the 80s. 🤷‍♂️

Good Fortune starts Friday, so I will have something to see!

Moondoggie @moondogrick.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah, I kind of had my eye on After the Hunt as well, but apparently it's not that great. Looks like something I can safely miss. 😂

November definitely looks better with Predator: Badlands, Bugonia, The Running Man and Wicked: For Good.

Moondoggie @moondogrick.bsky.social · 3d

That's kind of the feeling I got from the trailers (but then I don't really trust trailers). And I get that it's based on a true story, but it does all seem kind of silly. 🤷‍♂️

I guess the next thing for me is the Springsteen movie in a couple of weeks. Black Phone 2 doesn't look up my alley. 😂 ⬇️
