Brick or Bludgeon, Bucks Is Bucks

After reading about how Oxfam auctioned a brick used to break into one of their shops and made 225 pounds (roughly $420), I found myself wondering if once she's reached the end of producing Harry Potter books J.K. Rowling's publisher plans to have her attacked so they can sell off the murder weapon as a parting bonus.

No, that's all I have at the moment. Weak, weak, I know. Still, it's more plausible that that will Luthor extracted in Superman Returns not being tied up in probate for years.

I've been mostly doing housework today and I'm just taking a break... so to speak.

Glad to see so many new posts up here. It's good to catch up a little. As for me, I've been having the most delightfully decadent of weekends. For an old broad, that is. Yes, I've done a little laundry and some dishes. A little baking (some yummy banana muffins for breakfast and some cheddar garlic biscuits to go with the roast I made for dinner). But, mostly, I've played cards, watched a lot of movies (my first time with KILL BILL and KILL BILL II), and a couple other things I probably shouldn't mention here. I can't remember the last time I spent an entire Sunday lazing about so.

Oh, and speaking of Uma Thurman movies, did you ever make it to see her new one?

Off to finish a couple things before DEADWOOD comes on...

Sunday's zipping away.

The food sounds wonderful!

No, the only movie I've gotten out to see since Superman Returns was A Scanner Darkly last night.

Kill Bill I & II is a definite trip -- and by far the most enjoyable Uma experience I've had. I've never found her attractive, so since many of her movies try to play her up as sexy that element consistently falls flat for me, though she has been improving with age.

Yeah, Deadwood in less than 2 hours. I'm going to see if I can get one or two more things done around the place before then, but once I settle down to watch the show I'm planning on making that my sleepy slide into Monday.

(TV/streaming video) New & Leftover Items, a Touch of 2024, and some Nostalgic Forensics

    So much else calling out for attention, and with watchables already piled up, finding even more things to watch doesn't seem like much of a sane prospect. I'm not even fishing around for new things at the moment, as I need to get some other things done and make some attempt to round out my life a little.       This week on Paramount+, the fourth season of the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks came to a satisfying end. A manic pace of in-universe nods continues to give it the Star Trekiest of Trek feels with the casual, plot-essential trivia drawn from decades of Star Trek shows, woven throughout.       Also there, the contemporary Frasier series' first season hits its halfway point with episode five. I'm enjoying it, but it continues to walk a wobbly line as some of it works smoothly while other moments reek of formula, with some of each overlapping. I'd be very interested in seeing how well or not this new series works on its own for someone who'd never wat

Catching Up with Old Friends (Streaming media series)

   I haven't done any blogging posts on current and streaming media since November 3rd, which broke a streak of weekly ones that had been going since September of 2019 - albeit as part of a different, group, blog. As with many such inactions, it wasn't intended as a formal stoppage, just a momentary delay, but here it is five weeks later. This post's linking theme is the return of fondly-remembered characters. It really should include the recent arrival to streaming of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny over on Disney+, but I haven't really mustered my reactions to that. Instead, I'll stick with two other nostalgic items that arrived this week.       Yesterday saw the arrival of the season finale, episode ten, of Kelsey Grammar's return of Frasier Crane in the 2023 iteration of Frasier , over on Paramount+.      The series picked up on the titular character in the present, whom we haven't seen since his 11-season first series wrapped in mid-May

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch
