This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Overheard on campus:
"For example in the hobbit book - uh, do you mind spoilers?"
"Oh, well I've seen the movie, so..."
Might've been date? Regardless, a mighty nerdsplaining was surely about to ensue.

Robert Jackon Bennett's writing is 🤌🤌🤌. The Tainted Cup is brilliant, and I even more love his Founders trilogy.
Holiday book! The Fantasy Mystery is tricky. Too much fantasy, and the game of deduction is impossible. Too little, and why even bother fantasy-ing? The Tainted Cup walks the line expertly, with an odd-couple of detectives puzzling it out in a kingdom beset by seasonal Kaiju. Absolutely compelling.

I have a fresh idea for a vampire story. In this story, the vampires are a metaphor for undead monsters who want to drink your blood.

In a couple weeks, going to take my two oldest to a nearby barcade for a game dev presentation on the PICO-8, which I'd never heard of. Pretty psyched. First game dev meetup I'll have gone to in years. PICO-8 looks like a great time.

I'm now either a boffin or a brainbox. Either way, PC Gamer picked up my analysis of GenAI disclosures on Steam: www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...
The brainbox behind Valve's Steam Labs says the number of Steam releases featuring GenAI in 2025 is 1 in 5, with 7% of all games on there now incorporating it: 'We’ve octupled last year’s figure'
But there's still "a vocal anti-AI sentiment among artists and gamers who simply won’t buy games with this stuff in."
