On ferrets and helpful friends, quicksand and fears irrelevant fears, cheap sets, simple plans, weird bird things that save the day, and getting on with the work.
Your essays are always so entertaining, Bryant. Iām with you on simple. So much marketing advice seems determined to make a small business behave like Coca-Cola. Most people do not need seventeen funnels, twelve nurture sequences and a ceremonial goat sacrifice š to get someone to buy the thing. Tell people what you do. Build the list. Ask for the sale.

Heehee, goat sacrifice. I have a tendency to want to over-complicate things (sometimes). Keep doing my best to pare things down to the essentials before getting all fancy from there. Sometimes it even works!
I'm looking forward to writing up Ice Pirates and Krull. Hope your opinion on "entertaining" remains after both.
Hmmmmm, there's some horses in Krull and who knows in space pirates. Then camels in Conan. . . . . . ....... . OH! Willow. There's various farm animals in there, and definitely a pig connection to be made . . . somehow and it just came to me as a typed (find out in 2 months, I'm sure that'll keep you up at night. lol).
I know, right? Not to mention the underlying dread of nuclear war, the Soviets poised to conquer Europe (just off by a few decades there as putin does it now by buying politicians), acid rain, crying Indians, and the hole in the ozone layer.
I think there was one made for tv movie about killer bees.
I knew there were two, but wasnt until I was pulling images that I saw the third one. I am very much on the fence of watching them! Sticking with krill, Conan, and ice pirates next!

Thanks, Neela. Here's to a fantastic week!
Iām very much looking forward to Ice Pirates and Krull. Whether āentertainingā survives will depend entirely on how many goats are involved.š
Thank you Bryant.

I had forgotten how many B-list/borderline A list movie stars were in both Krull and Ice Pirates. The teacher from Willy Winka! Liam Neeson!
The deadly killer bees that never came! What a time to be alive. I just learned they did 2 sequels to this and I'm amazed.
