@puffer@beige.party That ahahah was a signature onomatopoeia of his, right? I always had to laugh myself when I saw it

Saw #ZZTop live yesterday. Elwood Blues -um, Francis- is a worthy successor to Dusty Hill but I was dismayed to see that Frank Beard was not manning the drums because of health issues. But it was a cool concert anyway because Billy Gibbons gave it his all as usual. And I'd like to have hair like Elwood. Need to talk to my barber ;-)

#TheBear did for food porn what #CSI did for... crime scene porn, I guess LOL

@puffer@beige.party Have you seen 'Disclosure' yet? I liked it especially the performances of the two leads but somehow it left me cold because its message is unfittingly naive (unfortunately the "truth" won't set us free no more) and the plot had been done a 100 times already on the X-Files.

Look what I gifted to myself. If anyone can appreciate this it's you, I'd think. @puffer@beige.party It's a special edition that includes 4 LPs, 2CDs and the Bluray of the concert #vinyl #fleetwoodmac

I'll never understand why Funkhauser didn't shoot Larry at some point. Just sayin'..

By means of some weird niche TV channel I have the opportunity to watch the 1990s version of The Outer Limits. I'm a big fan of the original show from the 1960s and this iteration is mostly inferior in comparison.

Many episodes are retreads of familiar concepts or plots from more well-known movies or TV shows like Alien or Star Trek, there's hardly an original idea. There are of course some outstanding episodes like 'I Robot' a remake of the 1960s episode of the same name and both are starring Leonard Nimoy! If nothing else you can play guess-who because a ton of actors, directors from well-known genre franchises like Star Trek, Stargate, X-Files are in almost any episode.
