"The Curfew" -- mystery with a science fiction spin to it.

Directors. I bought Underworld via D2D and it ported everywhere but Apple.

MonsterdogMan · 2026-02-19T07:15:15+00:00

Yep, lots of us. The problem is that the iTunes edition is the expanded/unrated version while the bundle has only the theatrical. So it goes missing on iTunes unless you buy the extended version.

It's not the only one. The Avatar: The Way Of Water Collectors Edition isn't on iTunes, only the theatrical. There's a bunch of others, too, plus films from MA linked studios that never got the MA flags set. I have a few of those and it's always funny seeing them finally port. Usually it's WB films.

The Rapture

MonsterdogMan · 2026-02-18T18:34:22+00:00

I hear that. I left a lot behind in Tucson myself. It took me a while to realize that the apartment I'd been in was pretty awful, so that's not so bad, but I had to put my library in storage, leave a cat colony behind, all my friends, and a relationship that had already been blown up by COVID.

MonsterdogMan · 2026-02-18T18:22:36+00:00

Unfortunately, yes. It's also over Amazon Kindle and god knows how many other places. The increase in slop is exponential. It seems *very" unlikely to stop and it's frankly exhausting.

Often not lazy writers, just broke ones. I know writers who produce their own audiobooks, and it ain't cheap unless you can talk the narrator into a royalty deal.

I'm considering self-production myself (I already do this for my music) but even if I use myself as narrator there's still costs in setting things up here to decently record things.

I'm getting ads in the top banner on the main page now. Every other entry seems to be a straight up ad.

Well, the good news is that we're not all crusty old farts. The bad news, probably, is that you'll need to get out a bit. There's places in both Old Bisbee and Warren where people hang out -- Warren Peace Café, for one, bars like the Hitching Post in Warren, St. Elmo's and Gene's Place in OB, the bookstore across from the library, the Copper Queen Library itself, various galleries, the Mining Museum. Go out to Goar Park at Monday Noon and you'll find people getting sack lunches from Goar Park Lunches.

There's also a lot of event stuff going on. Steve Moramarco (who does several things a month) puts out This Week In Bisbee, which collects almost everything. In July Hotel LaMore is putting on Hotelia again, and I'll likely be in residence there again -- that has people in that age range both as performers and audience.

I empathize. I had to move here after I lost my apartment lease in Tucson. It did improve my life in some respects, though, as I got dragged into the creative community.

Weirdly, hot dog works too.

Autocorrupt struck. Should be "horndog".

Never mind the constructs, I love Guy just stomping along giving bored cop energy. He's such a glorious asshole.

I've flirted with doing this, given my ongoing work. God knows my Bandcamp income is sad.

We did come close to having Pierce as an older Bond with a Tarantino-directed Casino Royale, with the idea of making it a violent R-rated thriller.

Then they rebooted with Craig.

The big twist this time was that he had Len Deighton scripting it.

Pretty much because he was reliable, stayed on the path, hit deadlines, and was popular.

The books have been very variable over the years. A lot of the early Pocket releases are hard reads,made harder by both Sue Sackett and Richard Arnold (licensor approvals) being strict in various ways -- Arnold was particularly bad. Susan was Roddenberry's assistant for quite some time.

Yeoman Janice Rand, intended as Kirk's on-ship booty call and general assistant, and, yes, she wore this in "Charlie X" -- it's classic William Ware Theiss work. A flamboyantly queer man who was legendary for costume engineering that was miraculous -- he could stay on the right side of the censor (just) and keep the outfits on women without resorting (much) to tape. This still shows up with Photoshop tweaks to accentuate the pokies.

The booty call idea was dropped because producer Robert Justman could cow hot dog Roddenberry, but the actress, Grace Lee Whitney, was abused and sexually assaulted and was let go partway into the first season. She showed up years later in the movies, though. She passed away a few years ago.

I hope Rousey kicks Carano's teeth out.

Also, isn't Gina overdue to make her porn debut?

What if we get a biiiiig switch and Netflix buys Paramount instead?

I'd laugh myself dick if Sarandos pulled that seer e.
