There's another sneak peak for the Dungeons and Dragons movie I reviewed this Sunday the 26th at 2pm in various theaters.
Forgotten 80s Mystery Click
Frontman quit his old band over his resistance to adding synthesizers to their sound, and then released a cover of a Louis Prima song loaded with synthesizers Holy shit this is crap. I forgot how bad this was. I thought his big complaint is that he didn't like the non-hard-rock his old band was taking? His version also doesn't improve on the original.
The DC movies but backed by an updated Superfriends theme
I just love the Superfriends theme.
Steve Martin doing his Let's Get Small act.
I've listened to this album 400 times. I never had a visual to associate with it. I always imagined it in black and white, because the album art was in B&W. I mistakenly said that this recording could be during the sessions when he recorded Let's Get Small. I thought he did that at the Troubador. But he didn't; Simon Jester just reminded me he did that at the Boarding House. My mistake! ![]() @zerohedge - 2h
Big scoops from Kamran Pasha about Disney
According to his source "sparrow" who has proven reliable in the past, and who is he has confirmed the identity of, Bob Iger has ordered a full audit of Kathleen Kennedy's Lucasfilm. He's suspicious about the spending going on over there, and why Kennedy could only offer an insulting $5000 payoff to a producer she offered a job to, and then withdrew the offer. Iger wants to know why money is so tight that only $5000 was offered in a breach of contract case where a more typical payoff would be $500,000. Apparently Lucasfilm offered to do their own internal audit, and Iger said no, he wanted Disney's own accountants to audit Lucasfilm. Sounds like he said, "I'm ordering a complete Shut-Down of Star Wars until I can figure out what the hell is going on down there." Pasha also says that there will be more big names being fired at Disney. Not as big as Victoria Alonso, but part of the point of that is that when the next big names get fired, the press won't be as interested because it's a let-down after Alonso's firing
That former San Francisco police commissioner and would-be politician just deleted one of his tweets telling someone complaining of having $10,000 and passports stolen from a car to go back to the suburbs, p*ssy.
He kept the first tweet up, though. Meanwhile San Francisco will probably jump at the chance to elect him DA
Report/Rumor: Panic in the halls of Disney as the Wokies awake to a new reality in which they can be fired for poor performance; Iger orders executives to make the already-announced 7000 layoffs on an accelerated basis and start firing people now
Iger is a woke monster. He's only doing this because Disney is losing billions, and he has an activist investor who will stage a proxy fight unless he gets this woke disaster straightened out fast.
Kathleen Kennedy suffers a brand new string of humiliations and failures
Discussion/speculation: Victoria Alonso had been set on a glide path to a "soft exit" back in 2021 The key idea here is that Alonso's position was made-up only for her. The position did not exist before they gave it to her, and it almost certainly will not exist now that she's gone. They're suggesting that she was "promoted" to a non-vital job as part of a plan to eventually get rid of her. But after the huge cost overruns of Marvel's latest flops, they decided to push her out sooner rather than later. Although she's in charge of VFX, she's also in charge of "physical production," meaning the actual shoots (and re-shoots, and re-re-shoots, and re-re-re-shoots) of Marvel movies. Note that it's been previously rumored that both Marvel and Lucasfilm have taken to a shooting technique they call "scrapbooking," where they film multiple possible endings and multiple plot-exposition scenes which will lead to those possible endings. Then they choose which movie they want to assemble after test screenings. And because audiences haven't liked these movies lately, they wind up having to do re-shoots and more re-shoots later. This is obviously very costly. I don't think that's Alonso's fault, though: Having a good script in hand isn't part of physical production, it's part of development. And ultimately it's Feige approving this "scrapbooking" CYA strategy rather than just getting the script into proper shape before shooting and saying, "The script is the story, period." Not positive this is actually happening, though. But multiple channels report on it.

Manhattan's Soros DA Alivin Bragg contacts police in anticipation of indictment of Trump next week
No more protection for Democrats, including presidents, their families, and their corrupt wives like Hillary. LOCK THEM ALL UP. If one side is going to risk political civil war by jailing the leaders of the other party, then we're all playing that game. Alvin Bragg better stay within NYC's limits, too. That m*****f***er looks like violates drug laws on the daily, and I can see Red State Police sniffing at his hotel doors to see if any illegal substances are being consumed.

In the early-mid eighties, a big band's singer went solo, and made this song, written for his girlfriend Sherrie.
Cool new song I just heard and by "new song" I mean it's from 2011
These Young People making this racket are probably all in fixed-rate mortgage situations now Former Rep. Pat Schroeder, Colorado lawmaker and women's rights pioneer, dead at 82 Your weekly reminder that the left supported Russia for 100 years exactly (1917 to 2017) and took its side in every dispute, arguing against every military system designed to deter them or shoot down missiles, arguing endlessly that we should concede the entire world to the Soviet Union, even laughing in a 2012 presidential debate at the notion that Russia was a "global foe."
