And played a memorable secondary character, Lennier, in Babylon 5, if this is the same Bill Mumy!

Angry Birds is a Finnish media franchise created by Rovio Entertainment, and owned by Sega. The game series focuses on the titular flock of colorful angry birds who try to save their eggs from green-colored pigs. Inspired by the game Crush the Castle, the original game has been praised for its successful combination of fun gameplay, comical style, and low price. Its popularity led to many spin-offs; versions of Angry Birds created for PCs and video game consoles, a market for merchandise featuring its characters, Angry Birds Toons (2013–2016), a televised animated series, and two films; The Angry Birds Movie (2016) and its sequel The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019), with a third film currently in production. By January 2014, there had been over 2 billion downloads across all platforms, including both regular and special editions.
By July 2015, the series' games had been downloaded more than 3 billion times collectively, making it the most downloaded freemium game series of all time. The original Angry Birds has been called "One of the most mainstream games out right now," "One of the great runaway hits of 2010", and "The largest mobile app success the world has seen so far". The first main-series video game sequel, Angry Birds 2, was released on 30 July 2015.
The first game in the series was initially released on 11 December 2009 for iOS. At the time, the 2009 swine flu epidemic was in the news, so the staff decided to use pigs as the enemies of the Angry Birds. The company released ports of the game to other touchscreen smartphone operating systems, including Android. In early 2019, all remaining Angry Birds games released before October 2014 (with the exception of Friends) were discontinued and removed from app stores, though Bad Piggies was added back in early 2020. Rovio has declined to explain their reasoning behind the decision apart from a brief tweet and support response, both giving different answers.[10] However, in June 2021, by popular demand of the fans, Rovio announced that the classic games will be available on the stores again sometime in the future, starting with a recreated version of the original Angry Birds game known as Rovio Classics: Angry Birds released on mobile platforms on 31 March 2022.
In August 2023, Sega acquired Rovio Entertainment. The deal was closed on 17 August 2023, rendering Sega the current owner of the Angry Birds brand alongside their subsidiary Rovio.

Steven Robert Guttenberg (born August 24, 1958) is an American actor, author, businessman, producer, and director. His lead roles in films include Cocoon, Police Academy, Three Men and a Baby, Diner, The Bedroom Window, Three Men and a Little Lady, The Big Green, and Short Circuit.
There was a recent collaboration during early July 2024 between the Los Angeles Dodgers MLB team and Cover Corps Hololive Productions featuring three of their V-Tuber talents (Gawr Gura, Hoshimachi Suisei, and Usada Pekora).
Around the seventh inning against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Los Angeles Dodgers were down by a score of 4 to the Brewer's 5 (indeed, the earlier game season supposedly had the Dodgers on a losing streak), when Gawr Gura came out to sing her rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". That's when things turned around for the Dodgers as they would come out victorious with a final winning score of 8 to 5 (supposedly that very number 85 would hold some significance in reference to Hololive's very own CEO, Yagoo).
Eventually, the Los Angeles Dodgers would go on to win the 2024 World Series several months later; prompting some Dodger's Fans into believing that the Half-Shark V-Tuber is now considered something of a 'Good-Luck Charm' for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
PS. Some V-Tuber Commentary on the whole Hololive-Dodgers Collab, plus two actual extended POV on the Ground summaries of that night: mozowo and hwikky
While it may be somewhat of a bit of bad form to be revisiting a previous post that was made on a past topic, in a much more recently uploaded video, Youtuber Taledo succinctly explains the whole Dodgers-Hololive 2024 collaboration in much more extensive detail in his video presentation, When VTubers Took Over Baseball | The Hololive x Dodgers Story. ;)

Banshee was awesome! Some brutal fight scenes. Some utterly hilarious regional flavor. (An Amish gangster? Seriously, was Weird Al's Amish Paradise playing when they came up with this idea?) :)

Yeah, a coworker showed us the fight scene between Burton and Nola. I was hooked from that point. Haven't gotten to that particular episode, but the rest is brutal enough. The wife and I are both enjoying it.

That was the very fight I was thinking of. Just so visceral, and I love the use of the car.
Both of those characters were interesting (or interestingly messed up!), so it was going to be a hard fight for fans of either!
Sometimes it seemed like 'Hood' had a literal super-power to just take a beating! He kept on plugging, despite getting his head handed to him more than once.

I kinda wanted a sequel to True Lies, with Eliza (forget the daughters name) getting to get into more shenanigans as the teen daughter of Harry and Helen, but the years have flown by and everyone involved is a bit old for a logical 'a few years later' kind of sequel.
According to Kevin Smith, her last name is pronounced like Duckshoot, which is his nickname for her.
Favorite Faith line;
Buffy is complaining about all the ways being a Slayer has messed up her life, which, honestly, is a lot.
Faith, "Yeah, it really sucks how we're hot chicks with super-powers."

A mulch is a layer of material applied to the surface of soil. Reasons for applying mulch include conservation of soil moisture, improving fertility and health of the soil, reducing weed growth, and enhancing the visual appeal of the area.
A mulch is usually, but not exclusively, organic in nature. It may be permanent (e.g. plastic sheeting) or temporary (e.g. bark chips). It may be applied to bare soil or around existing plants. Mulches of manure and compost will be incorporated naturally into the soil by the activity of worms and other organisms. The process is used both in commercial crop production and in gardening, and when applied correctly, can improve soil productivity.
Living mulches include moss lawns and other ground covers.
