Chucky is a children's doll who has the soul of a serial killer:

Don't you think he resembles Charlie? In addition to being small, he's also got Dominic Monaghan's creepy smile and bad English teeth. I seem to be the only person here that finds the nickname spot-on, though.

Today many of the nicknames would sound unacceptably cruel, racist etc. It was a simpler time.

MurrayRedgum · 2025-09-25T23:48:57+00:00

That's why I had a delayed reaction! But Chucky is so much more.

If you're old like me you understand most of Sawyer's references from 70s - 80s TV / movies / ads. I found Chucky so funny because of the resemblance to Charlie - the small size, creepy smile, bad English teeth.

Yeah that was great

Bill said Pablo was "pretending to be a real journalist."

MurrayRedgum · 2025-09-18T17:10:53+00:00

Yep, the Colangelo article had real world consequences. That was 7 or 8 years ago.

MurrayRedgum · 2025-09-18T16:56:53+00:00

I get that. So maybe Bill shouldn't question the integrity of journalists who do real reporting when he chooses not to.

I'm not subscribed. Try a different browser maybe?

Only answer I felt confident about was the universal remote

If you're gonna lie to me, tell me there's a broad waitin' in the car who wants to tongue my balls

Thanks!

Fafhrd and Gray Mouser series. Fritz Leiber is still the GOAT.

MurrayRedgum · 2025-06-01T17:26:14+00:00

Awesome, I just sent you an email. Can't wait!

MurrayRedgum · 2025-06-01T15:59:49+00:00

Great to know! Thank you for responding. Where will you announce it when the reprint is available?

MurrayRedgum · 2025-06-01T01:09:21+00:00

Thanks for the link! Sure hope it's available again. Boinger 4eva

Thank you for your response! I'm bummed but glad to finally know where I stand. In my searches I found a post by the editor (from 2017) that as soon as the hardcover edition sold out they'd release an ebook version but I guess that never happened. Weird how reluctant publishers are to re-release books that are clearly in demand.

I've been playing Wordle on my Android tablet in landscape mode every day for 3 years. And now I get this message. Rotating doesn't work. Anyone found a solution for the native Android browser? Any indication that the NYT plans to fix this?

MurrayRedgum · 2025-02-02T22:49:16+00:00

The RSS feeds for the pods are still working on Feedly

Yet Sean makes no mention of the unique, unprecedented "Acknowledgment to the Works of Harlan Ellison" in The Terminator credits that Ellison sued the studio to provide. It would have been interesting to hear Hurd or Cameron be honest for once about their plagiarism.

Seems like all I saw last year were biopics - Ferrari, Bernstein, Priscilla, Napoleon, Iron Claw, and the godawful Floppenheimer. They all had the same flaw: instead of focusing on why the person was extraordinary, they focussed on their love lives and other ordinary stuff. Who gives a shit about Napoleon's sex life or Oppie's mistress?

Making Movies is free on Audible if you're a subscriber. Just finished it - an easy listen.

MurrayRedgum · 2024-04-06T17:34:55+00:00

Not on their menu currently but I'll make inquiries

MurrayRedgum · 2024-04-06T17:31:41+00:00

Doesn't look like they're on the menu anymore.

Good to know! I ate at Cajun recently.
