California has settled with Paramount. The Warner Bros. merger will apparently go forward. I guess anti-trust violations are okay? www.cnbc.com/2026/09/21/p...

Once again I feel compelled to tell you all what the gas prices are at our local SoCal Costcos. A quick survey this morning shows a range from $5.69.9 per gallon at the low end to $5.79.9 at the high. Woof.

A terrific Billy Wilder noir, a Disney animated classic, a fun documentary about one of baseball’s all-time greats and a superhero who honestly deserved better. As usual I’m putting my comments below.

It’s been a while since I posted the price per gallon of regular gasoline at the local (San Fernando Valley) Costco stations. Currently ranging between $5.49.9 and $5.55.9, so still hovering near the high of the quagmire-inflated price.

The Marx Bros, An Ernst Lubitch classic paired with a Friz Freleng Daffy Duck cartoon and the most recent Jack Ryan adventure. Only one of the 3 features seems of the current moment… and it ain’t Jack Ryan.

Happy birthday to actress Myrna Loy, born on this day in 1905. A great comic actress. I particularly enjoy her great chemistry with William Powell in "The Thin Man" series of movies.
