DAILY CALL SHEET: DECEMBER 2, 2023

Cybernator (1991) A bunch of guys made up like Dollar Tree knockoffs of Borg action figures begin assassinating those in power. Suspiciously, the only humans who seem at all concerned are a detective who watched too many Lethal Weapon movies and his rhythmically challenged stripper girlfriend. Yep, it's another one of those old space fillers for Blockbuster Video shelves which for posterity's sake now inhabit the lowest depths of Tubi. Approach accordingly.

TIL: It's unknown the exact number of Popes who have been assassinated, however, the first is believed to have been Pope John VIII, who in 882 was poisoned by his own clerics. Unfortunately, the poison wasn't quick enough for the conspirators, so they finished the job with a hammer. Apparently, power struggles were handled a bit differently back then.


Freeze Frames #014: "Abstract art is not the creation of another reality but the true vision of reality." - Piet Mondrian

This is a picture I took of the surface of a pond with its fair share of algae. No special filters. Not a Pink Floyd album cover. You know, the original abstract artists were so sure they had created something new that surpassed reality, while the gatekeepers of traditional art were convinced abstraction was an insult to the beauty of nature. As usual, THE Creator was millennia ahead of both sides.
