You’ve heard of Aquatic Ambience, but are you ready for fish funk?
I know the historical ones didn't look like this, but whenever anyone says "flint and steel" in a non-Minecraft context I imagine a Bunsen burner striker.
(Which actually is a kind of flint and steel! Though the "flint" is probably ferrocerium.)
Did anyone ever figure out the connection between Dido and Fido Dido?
Who called it “The Last Homely House” and not “Hidden Valley Ranch”?
Me report: Just watched an Alf crossover episode with Gilligan’s Island dubbed into Japanese. This is the most “me” thing I have done today. I will keep you updated if I do anything else as characteristically “me”.

My taste in movies is a little weird or possibly excessively normal, in that I don’t really care about modern blockbusters, and I don’t really care about prestige cinema either, but what I do care about is movie-ass movies. Just the most regular kind of underwhelming films imaginable. I blame the fact that I’ve been a fan of MST3K for decades. After a while, you watch enough bad movies and you realize they’re not so bad and you’d honestly enjoy watching some of them on their own. Give me a budget Roger Corman flick over a Marvel movie any day of the week. I want to watch that kind of obscure 90s movie that ran on cable at an awkward time slot because it was cheap to license. I want to watch that those fake kung fu movies that they always seem to be watching on tv shows. I love a cult classic. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Back in the days before streaming, I loved independent video rental places because they tended to be staffed by the same kinds of fans of movies for movies’ sake. Heck, I remember the first time I walked into my dearly departed neighborhood video store and the staff were actively watching an episode of MST3K. I knew immediately I had found my video store.
Scarecrow Video is not my neighborhood video store and never has been, but I can tell they care about movies. Show them some love if you can, won’t you?
