The whole stunt to make these rare numbered cards disgust me. I used to play M:TG, but after Late-Stage-Capitalism ruined other beloved Nerd endeavors (The OGL debacle from WoTC, EA’s gutting of Overwatch 2 PVE, the rise of games as Live Services instead of finished products, etc) I can’t justify getting back into the…

so for $59.99 a year (that’s the annual price btw, $7.99 a month otherwise after the $1 trial month) you get 24 games. so as long as the games are each worth $2.50 a piece then the service is worth it. the issue I see is that a lot of VR games are shorter experiences so I really don’t see a reason to do an annual sub…

It’s weird they have zero mention on how they know it’s a suicide in the article. Must be something pretty obvious on tape somewhere. 

Now that the aircraft has tasted human blood, do they put it down?

Ahh, this harkens back to the good ol’ days when suicidal people didn’t pick up a gun and take several people with them.

It really is bizarre.  Even a year delay would make more sense than what they’re doing right now.  But nope, P+ or nothing if you want to see these shows.

It’s genuinely odd that Strange New Worlds hasn’t got an airing on CBS. It would definitely grow the fan base of the show which hasn’t helped it being siloed off on a definitely second tier streaming service.

I gotta kind of agree that “environmental disaster” isn’t really the term here.  But still, I suppose we learned that it’s better to excessively overbuild the launch facilities than to underbuild them.

“Since 1969, there have been 33 reported personnel ingestions, one resulting in death, into the engines of 737 aircraft”

Blowing up the launchpad and creating a environmental disaster because you were too cheap to build a flame trench. A technology that has been used since the 1950s was a truly moronic decision

“Ingestion” feels like a very weird word choice for this event.

It’s oddly aggressive. The sort of change engineers would usually make after they’ve worked out most of the known failure modes.

It always stuns me that they released the movie.

The “Twilight Zone” accident and subsequent trial received extensive press coverage at the time and it was clearly obvious that numerous key people including Landis were grossly negligent in their duties. Those kids (and Morrow) should have never been anywhere near a helicopter or pyrotechnics under those conditions.…

Warlock really holds up. Julian Sands and Richard E Grant both give really great committed performances with no concession to how cheesy the whole thing is, unlike Lori Singer, who in one sequence refused to wear the face prosthetic they made to show her aging due to a curse and just like wore a gray wig (which…

So why are we besmirching the good name of Joe Dante by using production photos of his Twilight Zone segment, which was one of two that was any good, and one of three that didn’t kill anybody?

I remember enjoying Boxing Helena when it came out but that might just have been because Julian Sands and Sherlyn Fenn were just so gorgeous.

In 2021 on the set of Rust, Alec Baldwin fired a live round from a prop gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. It was only recently that the saga of that incident came to an end, with charges against Baldwin being dropped as of this past April.
