My feeds are lighting up with the news that Speed Racer is getting a long-overdue 4k remastering. God, I love that movie. It's all about being ground down by the Real World and rediscovering your passions.

So much going on with all the streaming services, I barely keep apprised of what's going on on good ol' broadcast television anymore.
I saw an ad for an upcoming show called "Best Medicine," and I asked, "Is this an American remake of Doc Martin?"
Yes. Yes it is. youtu.be/NqBILOoDVm4?...

I am not a coffee drinker. I realized far too late that McDonald's messed up my order and gave me a mocha instead of a hot cocoa.
This is how it starts, doesn't it?

Six days until New Years Day. I have this made-up tradition where I order pizza and watch Titanic.
Is it weird that I’m *really* starting to look forward to this? I’m sitting here browsing pizza apps already planning what to order.

Last week was Home Alone, tonight was Home Alone 2. Two things:
1) It doesn’t get called out enough for just being an NYC reskin of the first film.
2) Seriously, Buzz needs a real good ass-kicking.

The annual Christmas rewatch of The Sound of Music, and I picked up an allusion to 1984.
When Captain Von Trapp leads the crowd in singing Edelweiss, the Nazis are the only ones who don’t join in.
The Party does not sing.

My true Christmas wish - the thing I hold most hopeful in my heart - is that each and every one of you has a better 2026 than you had in 2025. May the fates be generous and kind and you all receive the blessings you all so richly deserve. Merry Christmas and much love to you all.

CBC, you need a new print of Scrooge (1951). The colorized one from the 80s that you’ve been showing since the 80s is really starting to show its age.

One thing I do love about these long winter nights. “We leave at dawn!” means you’re leaving at the very reasonable hour of 10am or so.

Taking a break from the Christmas movies and marking the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens.
I know we’re all supposed to hate the sequels, but they all made me cry. How can I hate a movie that moved me so?

Tonight’s Christmas movie is Home Alone. Every year, I think the same two things:
1) Buzz is a prick, and I wish he got some kind of comeuppance.
2) John Candy makes one of the best cameos ever.

My parents love their British whodunits, so next year I might have to take them to see this one...The Sheep Detectives. In the British countryside, a flock of sheep set out to solve the mystery of who killed the shepherd.
