Award-winning filmmaker (AMERICAN SCARY, BACKYARD BLOCKBUSTERS), lots of work on other properties (BABYLON 5, STAR WARS, CRIMSON SKIES) - I try to stay busy...

I dunno - I tried reading the Shannara books back in the 80s, and threw the first one away before I finished it - it was *so obviously* a Tolkien ripoff it pissed me off... :)

I'd probably wear that first one at a convention, but I'm gun shy about ordering clothes online, other than basic t-shirts - invariably the sizes are weird, or the fabric/printing/construction is cheap if it's not from a name brand... I prefer to try things on first...

Carroll Spinney was a wonderful person. I got to have dinner with him and his wife at DragonCon some years ago - we swapped documentaries... :) It was a complete coincidence I was wearing a yellow shirt that night... 😇

How I feel sometimes watching the online trolls and "true fans" rant and scream about new "Star Wars" projects...

I guess it depends on the area - there’s an area downtown here with lots of outdoor dining, and when the weather’s nice, we really enjoy it. Places set out water bowls for dogs (lots of people bring their out for a walk there), no smoking allowed, and the people watching can be fun

How tone deaf is it to put out a video about how great it is to bring back/update Harold Faltermeyer’s original “Axel F” theme, but NOT ONCE even *mention* Harold Faltermeyer?

Call me crazy, but I still enjoy "Radioland Murders" - but I'm a sucker for that kind of fast-talking screwball humor...

I think I've finally figured out how to tell the difference between a professional and someone who poses as one. The professionals talk about their craft and how to do better. The posers talk about how awful the professionals are.

If it was a large schlubby guy and a petite attractive woman, nobody would have written word one about it - in fact, they've built multiple TV series around that concept... I think it's obvious the angle they're going for, and it's not fair to the actress.

That’s how I built my two documentaries - I’d considered a name for the first one, but I realized deep in the edit I didn’t really need one, as the interviewees’ stories were working just fine on their own
 Didn’t even consider a host on the second - although I did opt for a quick setup VO

Saw this at a diner in Robbinsville NC - that area has a lot of signage in both English and Cherokee

“Liquid Sun” sounds like some kind of weird animated show that MTV would have aired in the 90s

Heather grew up in Knoxville, and uses the “devil beating his wife”, which weirded me out first time I heard it. I grew up in Memphis, the other end of the state, and they were just plain ol’ sunshowers to me

I think it depends on the city - Publix here is cheaper on some things, but not everything, and one location is more expensive than the other. I make sure to keep an eye on their weekly BOGO specials, which helps a lot - like you, I use their pharmacy

Fresh corn on the cob is so great - I usually stop at a farmer’s market on my weekend bike rides, and one vendor has fresh roasted corn, usually picked just the night before, now that it’s in season
 SO good

Ignored the TV tonight, rode 16 miles on my bike on an unseasonably cool evening. Probably better for my blood pressure than whatever was on CNN tonight

Man, Infocom was the king of pack-ins... I still have original "Don't Panic" button, along with all the others in their boxes - although I'm pretty sure the 3D glasses from "Leather Goddesses of Phobos" are long lost....

Funny thing is, I've never played it. Designed nearly all of the CGI animation in the cutscenes, but gameplay was a different team...

I got an email from "me" letting me know my recent crypto order had shipped, and was also being processed at the same time. The "mailing address" was the nonsensical jumble of "Kling Ca Jacksonville North Lake Filomenaberg Virginia USA"

I know the feeling - I worked on the original Crimson Skies PC game, but good luck finding it anywhere legally... the Xbox sequel, that none of us from the original team had anything to do with? That's readily available, but the original is abandonware....

And what the hell does "WE ARE FULL ON 3D PRINTING VENDORS" mean? Are they printing their own vendors? They only accept vendors who do 3D printing? Can I 3D print a refund request, and blow their minds?

And watch out, by saying anything about them they don't like, you've agreed to pay them $10,000!
