When I googled Tomorrowland to fact check myself the first return from google was one word. “Canceled.” That pretty much says it all but you probably want a little more than that. My reaction to the trailer was, to put it mildly positive. This is going to be so cool, I had thought to myself […]
Read More Cataline Does Not Recommend: TomorrowlandWhen I was a kid back in the dim mists of time. Family Movie night was a pretty special occasion. Because we were too poor to go the movies. But once in a while my Dad had a good year, so it happened now and then. It was invariably something by Disney. I remember laughing at the […]
Read More The End of Family Film NightFIRST Do NOT make your own hot dogs. How to make your own hot dogs. Here’s Cataline’s recipe for Hot Dogs but don’t make them: 21⁄2 pounds/1.25 kilograms beef short rib meat, diced and well chilled 1 tablespoon/15 grams kosher salt 1 teaspoon/7 grams pink salt (curing salt, not the Himalayan stuff) 1 cup/250 milliliters […]
Read More Blogs and Ends: Cooking EditionTypical Marine Corps first date. This post is really more of a collection of extraneous minutia that I cut from the first post.

What James Cameron got right was basically everything. It was massively influential in 1980s science fiction pop-culture. Aliens created an entire aesthetic template for the Space Marine that everyone who followed Cameron had to either […]
Read More RE:View Aliens Part IThe earnings call was less then pleasant for all involved. Disney’s income is officially down 90%. The entire stockholder meeting was spent not answering the stockholders’ questions. When will Disneyland reopen? “That has yet to be determined.” When will Disney World reopen? “That has yet to be determined.” When will the cruise ships put to […]
Read More Q2 Did Not Go WellThe Iron Ding-Bat’s Monday press conference had all the usual hilarity. Whitmer publicly denounced the Nazis that had come to protest her dictatorship. What she was her proof that they were Nazis? They had pictures of her head photoshopped on Hitler’s body. The press duly reported this attack by evil Nazis on their virtuous governess and proceeded to lambast […]
Read More Is There An Opposition Party in Michigan?So the fan-created and Disney conscripted Star Wars holiday of May the Fourth has come and gone and I have to say this one was a lot more eventful than I was expecting given the fact there is nothing Star Wars related about to be released and the plague is in town (my governor says […]
Read More May the Fourth…Whoa Dude! Disney! Lawsuit!Her latest idiocy. Free college education for…buckle up for this one…Essential Workers. Michigan got socked in the jaw by the WuFlu. We are by any reasonable measure the fifth hardest-hit state in the country. Michigan still has a lot of factories and they are damn near all shuttered. Gretchy-Poo’s reaction? Send the few people who […]
