Actor Richard Chamberlain made it to 90.

Actor Richard Chamberlain just passed away at 90 years old. 

Chamberlain was trying to be an American Peter O’Toole.  He was a little much.  Chamberlain started out as the lead character in a medical drama, Dr. Kildare, in 1961, then bounced around doing TV movies and being a guest star on other TV shows.  He kind of settled on mini-series.

He seemed kind of cheesy, so I knew what he was in, but don’t recall ever watching any of it.

The Space Force wants a space bunker.

Firm wins Space Force funding to provide an “aircraft carrier” in orbit.

Such a module would isolate the satellites from the space environment, sparing their batteries and sensitive electronics from harsh thermal cycles every 90 minutes, and provide some shielding from radiation. In addition, the orbital carrier would obfuscate the satellites inside from observation by other nations or hostile actors in space.

This reminds me of the comedy/science fiction/action movie, Iron Sky (2012).

Dumb blondes in bed with popcorn.

A few weeks ago, I started watching the Popcorn In Bed Youtube channel.  It’s a reaction channel featuring two cute blondes watching movies.  The movies are chosen by member surveys and are generally very good.  The channel is an easy way to watch a familiar movie in a half-hour rather than a couple of hours.

The two women are charming, and started the channel with virtually no knowledge of movies.  Initially, they weren’t familiar with actors such as Sigourney Weaver and Bruce Willis.  They don’t know much about history or other topics that might be considered “common knowledge”.  It’s usually cute, but occasionally astounding.
