Although I'm still posting on Threads, the platform seems very dead to me, and perhaps to others with small accounts similar to mine...

Watched two movies last week: Tron: Ares and Truth & Treason, both of which deserve a dedicated post. Tron: Ares is a visually appealing Sci-Fi movie and is very typical. The complaint I had about it is also typical...

Watched the movie Bugonia. Categorized as an absurdist black comedy, it is about two lunatic conspiracists' crazy abduction of a CEO whom they believe to be an "Andromedan" who has infiltrated the human race...

Watched the movie Back to the Future – 40th Anniversary. Time travel movies are always among my favorites, and I have watched tons of them. This one, however, has one peculiarity that is worth mentioning......

Watched the movie Rental Family. Among all the movies I watched this year, including those I didn't write about but considered good, such as Nuremberg, this is my favorite...

Last weekend, I brought my daughter and son to a Regal theater, at which I had a membership, to watch the movie Zootopia 2. It turned out I had more to say about the ads before the movie than the movie itself...

Wishing, against all odds, the world a 2026 better than 2025!

One thing I particularly enjoyed is reading a book while sipping a cup of coffee or tea in a quiet shop, ideally near a large window so the external world that is often in interesting contrast to the internal one the book projects into my mind can be conveniently in view...

Recently I came across a Collector's Edition of the Entertainment Weekly magazine entitled The Ultimate Guide to Star Trek. I read a few pages related to my favorite series, The Next Generation, and saw...

As all my long-time readers (if any, on this particular platform) must know, Asimov is one of my favorite writers. In the process of relentless searching for his writings, I recently obtained many issues of Asimov's Science Fiction, and began to read some articles......

Cold Spring Harbor, in a very literal view:

Recently I read a book that is not in my ordinary reading scope but turned out to be absorbing: Why We Die...

Watched the movie The Bride!. If there was something, similar to Star Wars Expanded Universe and Star Trek Expanded Universe, that could be called Frankenstein Expanded Universe, this film is certainly a candidate for it, and a good one...
