Postponed video for 'Hocus Pocus 2' post
Oct. 28th, 2023 03:19 pmHere's a video I might use next year that bridges yesterday's Dancing American witches on Black Cat Day for Halloween and today's Broken Peach sings 'One Way or Another' from 'Hocus Pocus 2' for Halloween.
I wrote "Bette Midler gave it the right amount of comic menace in Hocus Pocus 2" in today's post. This is the video that reminded me of that.

An image for an abandoned post idea
Jan. 21st, 2023 04:27 pmI saw this image and wondered about using it for a pan-Asian post about movie awards winners. Instead, I wrote 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' — part 2 of diversity in awards show winners for the week of MLK Day. I decided both movies deserved their own posts.


Happy Hobbit Day!

When Stephen said the librarians came for TFG, I couldn't help but think of these guys.

Now, that would be an interesting episode, except that I doubt there's anything paranormal in the documents seized by the FBI.

The one response I got to yesterday's post that Kylo had its most popular year ever as a boy's name in 2020 was that it was disturbing. In response, wrote that "I haven't even looked at the rest of the Star Wars and Game of Thrones inspired names yet." That inspired me to write Kylo passes Anakin while Arya and Khaleesi fall in popularity, baby names from entertainment for the Father's Day weekend at Crazy Eddie's Motie News today. None of that news disturbed me as much as finding out that Mazikeen, Lucifer Morningstar's demon sidekick from the comics and TV show, was the 998th most popular girls name last year. Yikes!
