I went to the rerelease of The Dark Crystal few years ago, and it was about as magical and weird as I thought it might be.

Added bonus: my pre-teen daughter didn’t quite get it, but at home kept making the (Chamberlain) Hhhhmmmmm? sound at me in pretty much every situation for a couple weeks

These are my X-Men, who are sometimes overlooked by others. And love the costumes, only cause they imprinted on my newly emerged comic reading self

I just added a comment shout that and also the Discs of Tron game, which I had forgotten about until I looked for gameplay for the original game on YouTube

Bet you hadn’t thought about that movie in a long time. Neither had I!

Truth be told, I got there from Kindergarten Cop, then Twins, then… Momma.

I’ve never done a project like that, but (badly) painted just enough models and miniatures in middle and high school to really appreciate your attention to detail.

Wow, this is looking fantastic. It has been fun following along.

And here’s the pizza crust recipe I used, in case anyone was looking for one to try.

The Best Pizza Dough Recipe

This is the easiest, BEST pizza dough recipe. With just 6 ingredients and no fancy flours required (I've included instructions for using all-purpose OR bread flour), this pizza crust requires just one...

Pizza night tonight: turkey pepperoni, red onion, jalapeño and garlic

After 8-10? times making+taking notes with the crust recipe, officially promised myself I’d stop fiddling with ingredients, proof, prep, bake. Kind of stumbled my way here, hope it still works the next time!

Side note 2: I only have one piece of comic Original Art. It’s a page from Eight Billion Genies #3 (page 4). Which is such an incredible series.

Got it because it has Jim Morrison, Ernest Hemingway and Dorothy Parker having drinks together at a bar.

Side note: the podcast focuses mostly on collecting original screen uses movie/comic props, so the beginning has a short update on prop stuff.

Both hosts work in Hollywood. One worked on Seinfeld and Veep, among others. The other is a main show runner for the House of the Dragon.

Very highly recommend The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of podcast overall, and specifically this episode about collecting original comic art.

If you’re wondering about qualifications, one of the hosts has the OA cover (yes, the cover!) for Giant Size X-Men #1. And a few others.

Screen shot from a podcast player, for the podcast The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of, an episode dropped on 10/7/25 about collecting original comic art titled “A Return to Comic Art Form: Treasures from the Keif Fromm Collection”

This is my go-to for meatloaf, and if I have bread I’ll do the meatloaf sandwich. Such a great recipe!

Sorry, someone had to reference this scene and it was my turn

a man is playing a saxophone in front of a fire while a woman plays drums in the background .

Alt: Actual movie scene from The Lost Boys at the big outdoor party/concert where there is a really buff (do ppl say that any more?) saxophone player+singer playing the saxophone and dancing very PG-13-like

Steve X-Men Comics @xmencomicssteve.bsky.social · 2d

My only question: who did they cast for the saxophone solo scene?

Just for fun, somewhere along the way I picked up this hologram thank you Marvel sent to comic shops for selling those 7M copies of 1991 X-Men #1.

There’s I think? supposed to be a good hologram too

I called the pretending to fall down then scrambling for the TD, if anyone was wondering

Steve X-Men Comics @xmencomicssteve.bsky.social · 4d

I started reading/collecting X-Men with #210 so when anyone mentions the X-Men to me this is who I picture, out of reflex. They are awesome. Bring Longshot back!
