Mel Gibson to direct LETHAL WEAPON 5?
Lethal Weapon franchise star Mel Gibson is currently in talks to direct Lethal Weapon 5! The filmmaker let the news slip that he wanted to helm the movie and now sources close to him are saying he’s in talks to direct and star. No deal has been officially closed yet, but if it happens, he will step in for Richard Donner, who passed away this past July.
I guess none of those folks are actually too old for this sh*t?

PS: There are actually any number of things that can be said about reviving the LETHAL WEAPON series, Mel Gibson’s career (although HACKSAW RIDGE seems to have done wonders for that already), and/or how many photons are going to be burnt over discussing the first two. But I have to admit: I’m curious how this movie would look. It’s unlikely to be anything like the first four in the series.

The last hours of the TENTACLES 6 Bundle of Holding.
This is actually a pretty good deal. I have Hideous Creatures already, but the Apocthulhu supplements look pretty good and you only need to buy one of these to justify picking up the whole collection. Besides, I have limited room left for physical books.
But only hours remain!
There are mere hours remaining to pick up our own Hideous Creatures for #TrailOfCthulhu, as well as excellent #Cthulhu #mythos goodies from @GallantKGames and @cthulhu_reborn in the Bundle of Tentacles: https://t.co/lR9GOoJrq4 pic.twitter.com/noitg5TOR7

It’s Eldritch Elf Gift Exchange time again at the @HPLHS!
Eldritch Elf is the HPL Historical Society‘s annual Christmas gift exchange: you sign up, you get randomly assigned somebody to send a gift to, and you get one in exchange. I lucked out last year and got better than I gave, so I guess somebody’s getting the Mayan Replica this year. If only for my own pride’s sake.

The FRAGGLE ROCK Reboot Apple TV trailer.
My eyes are narrowed right now. They are narrow, they are squinting, and I am in state of anticipatory skepticism:

Let the music play…
Get ready for a brand new adventure with your favorite Fraggles. Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock premieres January 21 on Apple TV+ https://t.co/2Rm1xEUcS4 pic.twitter.com/puBRKlLWWL
Although that’s just my own personal taste talking. I’m not thirteen anymore, and if this new FRAGGLE ROCK is geared to thirteen year old children then I will find it dull. That’s not actually the show’s fault.
Also: points for doing it with puppets. As for the likely message… yeah, it’s not like the original show offered a full-throated defense of Milton Friedman, or anything like that. Some things, you know what you’re getting into ahead of time, is all I’m saying.

‘Crazy for You.’
Annapolis is a place… where they play a lot of 80s music. You know, for the older people.
I now have an Author’s Page on Facebook.
Found here. I’m trying to create something that can be advertised; my luck with Amazon ads was… peculiar. I was clearly doing something wrong, because nobody was actually clicking on the ads. Which at least meant that I didn’t get charged, but it was still extremely weird.
Feedback welcome.
NaNoRiMo, Day 14: 1,770 / 33,660.
Clawed my way back up a little today. Just have to sustain for a while.
Patreon!“There is news, Wind-Walker Tanaka. Traces of xenobellis occisor ellisonium have been found at Mr. Sild’s wilderness site.” The Process sometimes ‘forgets’ to announce itself when it’s giving dire enough news. I think it’s a relic of its older programming: social niceties aren’t compatible with urgent information, no matter how unsettling it is.
And this bit of information counted as ‘unsettling.’ “What? Deathheart’s not native to this part of One-Eighteen. Or is it?”
“Technically, deathheart is not ‘native’ to this planet at all. The flower originated on 956-G-004, according to the Surviving Archive.” Read: according to the Amalgamation’s equivalent of a children’s library. One that had been briefly on fire. Whatever it was that had killed the Amalgamation had been thorough. “But it does not survive in the wild on this planet, except on a single island. No visits have been logged to the island, and there have been no lapses in the satellite footage.”
I bet there hadn’t been, I thought. Deathheart is a very pretty black and red flower with a lovely, neurotoxin-laden smell that can knock out a human at five paces. A few drops of that neurotoxin can stop somebody’s heart, no fuss, no muss, the victim just falls over, dead — and the poison will break down completely within a half hour. The God-damned stuff is everywhere in the Tomb Worlds, too. The best guess was that it had been a prized ornamental flower. Or maybe they used it for easy suicides. Or it’s just fatal to humans. Take your pick; it’s not like there’s anybody to ask.
Patreon Microfiction: They Totally Had It Coming.
“They Totally Had It Coming” asks a question not often asked: what if, indeed, they totally had it coming? I mean, they’d have to be really damn awful, sure – but if they were? What if what came for them in the sky was simply transcendent justice?
Patreon!Tweet Thread of the Day, Marvel Does Not Care About Urban Traffic Conditions, Part 43 edition.
This is hysterical, very educational, and reminds me of the most ridiculous part of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER. Which is, of course, the part where they had a high-speed car chase and shoot-out in downtown Washington, DC. …And where, precisely, would there be room for that?

No NaNoWriMo today.
Going to be going out with my wife, and I am going to be off for the evening. I’m not even bringing the Chromebook with me. It should be a hoot.
