Stop teasing!

Finally watched Ghostbusters: Answer the Call.
Just a silly fun movie, and I laughed all through.

I don't see this as a toxic trait. I consider it as entertainment self-governance.

 

[Isabeau]

I do that. A lot.

Oh hey, a new Mr. Bean, err...Bin... Bing? ...Mr. Bingley show.

except the story continues in my own version of the world and I often find my endings more satisfying when, if ever, the published ones come to my attention. Have been known to do the same with books, especially when they're suddenly returned on the e-reader, because automation is our friend. I never do that with printed books although sometimes they occasionally need a continuation because their ending is incomplete.

I do that. A lot.

I was watching NCIS Tony and Ziva recently, and then got distracted and remembered like a month later I had only watched like 3 episodes.

I enjoyed that show too.

Yeah, I know, but why'd you stop acting?

"Yes yes, we know, you were a vampire."

I watched that last night. So heartbreaking! I'm actually surprised he aired yesterday; I totally would have understood if he hadn't. He is taking the rest of this week off.

I have a couple friends who'll be very interested to hear about this.

As for the photos? Personally, I've seen better cosplay snaps.

Amazon Prime just announced a new Stargate series. It will be taking place in the same universe as the previous TV series, and not a reboot.

Anyone watching Pluribus? Like it a lot.

You can also find a “sample” of the fictional author’s Romantacy on iBooks.

There’s also some message if you call (202) 808-3981 (from her tv screen) but I don’t have long distance included with my carrier and would have to add $ before dealing I think. Also, I’m lazy.

The internet provides.

We've been watching High Potential, which apparently a remake of a French show called HPI. Its pretty good. Kind of a similar feep to Monk or Bones. Cops team up with a smart civilian type to solve crimes, that sort of trope.

The internet provides.

I've been told (...) there is more to the message when you hit 0. ..

https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/i-called-the-mysterious-phone-number-for-apple-tv-s-new-show-from-breaking-bad-creator-and-im-absolutely-shocked-by-the-response

It begins: "Hi Carol. We're so glad you called. We can't wait for you to join us. Dial 0 and we'll get back to you via text message." Obviously, I’m not Carol, but I did dial “0” to get the next part of the message.

"Please know your life is your own, Carol. You have agency!" (Again, my name is not Carol.) "That being said, Reply YES to sign up for updates from AppleTV+ and agree to our terms of use and Privacy Policy. Freq varies, consent not a condition of purchase, msg & data rates apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help."

Slightly more boring, but even for a fictitious marketing stunt, Apple has to get its boilerplate T&Cs for SMS marketing in there somehow. I replied “Yes” and got this response:

"You must have so many questions for us! Understand, we only want to make you happy. We'll be in touch soon. Text STOP to stop, HELP for help.”

So logic tells me I’m going to be hearing from the mysterious Pluribus voice at some point in the future. What it will say, I do not know. When it will arrive, I cannot say. Who is Carol? Maybe I’ll never find out. Maybe she never called the number back. Maybe I’m Carol and my parents read my birth certificate wrong.

Anyway,

I just learned Diane Ladd died earlier this month.

Diane Ladd's cause of death revealed two weeks after she died at 89

A cause of death has been released for Diane Ladd, the Oscar-nominated actress and mother of fellow actress Laura Dern.

Ladd, who was 89 at the time of her Nov. 3 death, died of "acute on chronic hypoxic respiratory failure," according to a death certificate obtained by People magazine.

Ladd had been suffering from interstitial lung disease in the years leading up to her death, the actress's death certificate noted, per People. Additionally, esophageal dysmotility, a type of digestive disorder, was listed as a significant contributing condition to her death.
