Streaming from my site. If anyone has problems with the streaming, please let me know. Announcing two Star Trek videos simultaneously yesterday was the first time I've seen stress on the site. Warning: Criminal Minds is a violent show. The video is about the comfort they give one another to deal with that violence.

Megyn Kelly’s ouster at the Today Show was great for the franchise’s viewership, according to Variety, with Nielsen reporting an impressive 10% bump in advertiser’s coveted 25-54 demographic during the third hour Kelly used to host. There’s been a 4% jump in viewership for Today as a whole. But will the boost endure? Kelly was booted on October 26, just two days after defending the use of blackface on her program. The cancellation of Megyn Kelly Today topped off 12 months of tumult that’s plagued Today, beginning with Matt Lauer’s alleged sexual misconduct and ouster in October 2017. But it...

Lily James is to play the lead role in a film remake of Daphne du Maurier’s classic gothic novel Rebecca. Alfred Hitchcock’s cult 1940 adaptation of the psychological thriller, starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine, won an Oscar for best picture. [snip] Hollywood actor Armie Hammer will take Olivier’s role as de Winter, who along with his creepy housekeeper Mrs Danvers still appears obsessed with his eponymous late wife Rebecca.

The Chiefs and Rams will no longer meet in Mexico City. Due to concerns over the field conditions in Mexico City, the NFL has moved Monday night's game -- arguably the best game of the season -- from Estadio Azteca in Mexico City to the Coliseum in Los Angeles. In a statement, the league announced that the decision was made "in consultation with the NFLPA" after an inspection found that the field "does not meet NFL standards for playability and consistency and will not meet those standards by next Monday." "We have worked extensively with our partners at Estadio Azteca...

Robert De Niro may have been the target of the Donald Trump-supporting pipe bomb mailer, but that isn’t stopping the Oscar winner from trashing the president. Just two days after playing Robert Mueller again on “Saturday Night Live,” De Niro zinged the commander-in-chief with more verbal zingers. In presenting Billy Crystal with the Friars Club’s entertainment icon award on Monday night in New York City, De Niro first shouted, “F— Crystal!” as a wink to his condemnation of Trump at the Tony Awards earlier this year. “I just get so upset with that jerkoff in the White House,” he said,...

Another music video streaming off my website. The site seems to be holding up. Julia Ecklar is well known in the "filking" community and has written some Star Trek pro novels. I think of filking as music written to science fiction themes. In this case, humor.

Another music video streamed from my website and not available on YouTube. Originally PAL. These literary music videos aim primarily at people who know a TV show well. Cadfael - Don Quixote - Gordon Lightfoot http://www.iment.com/maida/tv/cadfael/video/Cadfael-Don-Quixote-Gordon-Lightfoot.htm

The Kardashians' hometown of Calabasas was put under mandatory evacuation on Sunday as two wildfires burned near Los Angeles. Kourtney Kardashian's house was pictured covered in flame-retardant chemical Phos-Cheek in the hopes of keeping the blaze at bay, days after Kim's Range Rover was spotted driving away from the same neighborhood loaded up with boxes. Meanwhile Robin Thicke, Gerard Butler and Miley Cyrus all revealed they lost their homes to the blazes, which have killed 31 people across the state. Somehow Lady Gaga's mansion escaped being torched in the Woolsey fire despite being located in badly-hit Malibu, while the flames...

Filmmaker Michael Moore was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, while Won’t You Be My Neighbor won the Best Documentary and Best Director categories at the third annual Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards, held last night at BRIC in Brooklyn. Robert De Niro presented the award to Moore right before rushing off to appear on SNL, calling him “a true, true American hero … one of the greatest truth- tellers in this country right now.” Moore used his acceptance speech to finish his 2003 Oscar speech for Bowling for Columbine. At that ceremony, he had been pulled off the stage and...

Douglas Rain passed away Sunday morning at the age of 90. The actor, one of the pioneers of the Stratford Festival, is best known for his role in Stanley Kubrick’s iconic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Rain was the voice of the sentient computer HAL.

I’m experimenting with streaming a few videos off my website that aren’t on YouTube. Not sure what volume the site can handle, but these experiments should say. What I like about doing it is that I can put up higher quality videos than YouTube allows.

The Bachelor Mansion has been announced as one of the homes burned in the devastating California Woolsey Fire. According to Variety, the famed reality show location did not escape the blazing fires that have spread across southern California. The 'lower house has reportedly been destroyed, while flames have reached the back patio of the main house and are continuing to advance,' says the site.

Did you hear the one about President Trump? Or, more precisely, did you hear all 3,128 jokes? A think tank that has studied the content of late-night comedy for the past 26 years said Donald Trump was the butt of more jokes in 2017 than any other public figure has for a single year. By a lot. He beat the previous record of 1,816, set by Trump as a presidential candidate in 2016, said the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University in a study released Friday. Prior to that, the record was 1,717 by former President...

Joy Behar frequently puts her ignorance on display but on Wednesday's The View, she went above and beyond her usual lack of knowledge. In discussing the midterm elections with ABC political analyst Matthew Dowd, Behar wore her constitutional scholar mantle to observe that the Democrats lost the Senate races in the midterms the day before due to gerrymandering. It was such an appalling ignorant observation that even guest Matthew Dowd attempted to correct her as politely as possible as you can see: DOWD: Democrats won the popular vote last night by 8 million votes. But they lose U.S. Senate races...
