Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

Your reminder that Joss Whedon wasn’t allowed to be alone with 14 year old Michelle Trachtenberg.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

I have only heard of lovely things about what Bruce Campbell is like when people meet him; he is a treasure. If you haven't read "If Chins Could Kill" his autobiography, it's excellent.

He also absolutely *gets* fan interactions. To be roasted by him at a convention would be such an honour.

If I just give a vibe of "probably has Tim Curry in his head" then I've absolutely nailed my intentions.
