Was that a sequel/spinoff or otherwise related to his character in Murder by Death?

Buckaroo Bonzai versus the World Crime League.

https://archive.org/details/THEM1952 Have you seen the recent sequel, It Came From The Desert? Fairly good, apart from the idiots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxTIiUwTEMc

This was a strong part of why I went to work for NASA as a kid. That was also the ending of The Dark Knight Rises. "I'm not an actor. I'm a MOVIE STAR!"

He was, but the monkey left.

I'd say that Squeeze (e3) was the first standout episode (before Ice, e8).

I thought it jumped the shark at the end of season 1 when the most talented actor / interesting character left the show. YES HE WAS! 😭 😭 😭

I second Chuck Dixon.

I nominate: Peter David for Hulk, Spidey 2099, and so many others. Mark Gruenwald, for ten years of Cap, the OHOTMU, DP7 and New Universe, Squadron Supreme, and for holding the Marvel universe together as editor.

I think "boring" has a better cadence.

Sometimes my friends run in a mini-marathon. I tell them I'm training for a micro-marathon. At 1/1000th of a marathon, it's about 45 yards.

I'm picking up with my second Deep Space 9 rewatch of the year, and just watched S06E22 "Tears of the Prophets" again. It's my favorite of any Trek season finale. There's so much that happens: Sisko leads the wartime fleet Worf and Dax plan a family Dukat returns and causes tremendous mischief Starfleet liberates Cardassia The surprising turn of events with Dax Dumar and Weyoun discuss gods The Prophets are cut off from Bajor, maybe even dead The wormhole closes, possibly for good SIsko leaves DS9, possibly for good It was a heck of a way to leave us all waiting for six months until the final season.

He was also the longtime webmaster for BlackWyrm Games, and (I think) Indie Press Revolution, and possibly Hero Games for a while.

I finished up Mr. Robot in time for tonight's premier. I forgot how amazing S03E05 is -- the entire episode is a single shot. It wasn't actually an incredible 43-minute take; there are some very cleverly hidden editing cuts, but it flows so seamlessly that it looks like it never stops. Here are the first 6 minutes, going up until the title sequence. It also namedrops a friend of mine -- Dave Kennedy. The show had already used his software a few times.

Then you barium.

I finished up rewatching Halt and Catch Fire. Now, on to my rewatch of Mr. Robot.

Does the koala plant the pandas?

Yes. It was a necessary side effect of turning a solo hero into a team dynamic. In a way, I think it may have been more fun, for me. I was expecting it to be just a dunk. But it was better than I expected. I guess I expected a C- and it delivered a C+. Also, I've been rewatching Halt and Catch Fire. I just finished season 1, and am starting on 2. It's nice that each season was only 10 episodes, and covered a different era. There's little room for plot dragging.

Nekrotronic (2018). Like a cross between Ghostbusters, They Live, and Evil Dead. A lot more fun than I expected it to be.

Have you seen the series? It's different, but also a lot of fun.

It had better be a Highlander.

Great call!

"What?"
