Ah, modern movie distribution for rural movie lovers.

Interesting stuff gets a one day release you need your finger on the pulse to have heard about well in advance, screening two hours away from you. Will it be available to stream, rent, or buy later? No man can say.

It was the one I liked. (JJ’s tastes and mine differ a bit as far as story goes.)

There was room to build off of the prior two installments into something interesting, they just went another way.

But in 30 years, nerds who Need To Make It All Fit will have written stuff to do so I’m sure. Lol

Looks like I made a mistake sleeping through the Vikings game today.

Ah yes, from Plato’s musings on chickens.

As far as the World Series goes, I don’t have a horse in the race.

I am delighted, however, that it’s going to 7 games.

If any of them start talking about the ‘91 Halloween blizzard, it’s a trap.

Carry on.

…only if they’re not entertained. Movie audiences are trained to accept recycling if it’s fun, and there’s loads of proof of that over the years. (Arguably they’d be less critical than the comics reading audience in this matter.)

Erik Burnham 💬 @erikburnham.bsky.social · 4d

Those are just off the cuff. There are other ways for all of them. That’s the fun!

Erik Burnham 💬 @erikburnham.bsky.social · 4d

I don’t think they’re off the table at all. There are simple ways to do any of those concepts.

Cloning established, they try again in a time of need=Connor.

Ultraman mutates during exile=Bizarro.

Finds himself in another dimension, offends Earth 3 villain of similar name, causes invasion…

Let’s let this be the only time!

It’s phrased as “…includes plenty of fan service.” Sometimes as a compliment, sometimes as an insult.

Folks using the phrase “respect the fandom” tends to be thrown out for “doesn’t do what we want at all times,” which… we gotta please other people first (editors, IP owners, etc). 🤷🏻‍♂️

I, too, will be at TCC next week! I had planned to print up something new for the show but deadlines got away from me. Whoops.

A photo of writer/cartoonist Erik Burnham, who will be at Twin Cities Con November 7-9. I’m not going to describe what Erik—that is, what I look like; you don’t need further trauma.

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia

Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.
