"Well, there was a "United Arab Republic" from 1958-1961. I don't know when the story in question was originally published (this seesm to have been a reprint book), so I don't know how much of an archaism it might have been."
"If you missed it, at this point it’s not streaming anywhere. So you jump on it next time it’s shown, here’s Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley six-minute introduction from a few years ago:

"Somehow, I don't think we ever acknowledged the recent death of Teri Garr. I’ve heard the phrase “thank you, doctor” twice recently and it always reminds me of her classic scene in Young Frankenstein:

"This has actually been on my radar for a little while, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Like Richard, it is Aubrey Plaza's presence that intrigues me. I will endeavor to watch it...or not. I haven't decided yet. hahaha

"...So I saw the most-streamed (or one of them) film of the last month, My Old Ass (2024).
I really enjoyed it. It's short and it harkens back to a time when coming-of-age films were low-key and not accompanied by an endless parade of pop songs and…"
"I've heard about Blue Sky, and know a number of people that have joined it. I have kind of a paranoia about joining anything new.. Of course, that's why I never joined Twitter. I think about Rich a lot. I miss our conversations, and wonder what he…"
HI, I think I have unboxed you but...I am coming to the end of my `INVADERS` thread and would like to do a similar issue-by-issue critique of the Avengers - but not wanting to step on your "Baron 're-reads" early Avengers thread - I was thinking of beginning from #150 -? Would that be okay with you?
Hi Mr Baron sir,
I was wondering - I have just about 'caught-up' with my 'INVADERS' thread - going issue by issue through their history - and I'm scrambling looking for another series with which to critique in the same vein.
I am very aware of your 're-reads' and the recent 'Avengers' issues you've covered.
Unless you have any great desire to do so yourself or any objection at all -- I would like to take up the Avengers as a series from about #150 onwards...?
I reckon by then the earliest stuff - Kaps Kooky Quartet - Vision - Squadron supreme - KreeSkrull war - Avengers-Defenders war - even the Celestial madonna stuff is all over and the team and the title kind of entered a new phase that I'd love to pick up from.
If you DID intend on covering those issues etc I would of course quite happily go find some other series to wax lyrical about.
I do think the 'early Avengers' and this later phase could even run alongside quite easily as threads?
I don't mind. I usually tell people it's proncounced marconnay. When explaining it to people I tell them it's mark an A, like when you tell your teacher to "Mark an A on your test"

Anyway, how would you feel?
Please be candid.
Thanks

Gah! So much Tartan!
Anyway, this time-wasting web page mentions two of your favourite things, so I thought I'd share.
