I think if you had watched that movie in the late 80's or early 90's, it's message was pretty clear. It was straight anti-Reaganism, anti-authority, anti- rich, pro-working man. In the present context that somewhat aligns with libertarianism, but you shouldn't necessarily project modern political alignments onto past…

Planescape Box Set? Is that some Guvner screed? The only thing I ever read was some addle-brained primer's fortune for a few copper.

You clueless cast one gate spell and think you know the dark of everything. Look here you sodding berk, you shouldn't go rattling off your bonebox when you sound like a ruttin' parrot that just took a dip in the Styx. I've seen an entire choir of Vrocks sing a stirring rendition of Murgoth's Vile, Putrid Belching…

I bet you'll be singing a different tune when you're reborn as a Vrock on the 227th layer of the Abyss!

"Does anyone know where the communion wafers are?" "Dude, remember? You used them to bread the chicken last night."

I mean, the show hasn't really bothered to explain how the brain somehow continuously sustains itself (without water no less) with the rest of the body rotting away, in some cases completely, and it certainly hasn't explained how zombies like the ones in the sewers that appear to have lost any vestiges of sense organs…

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

The core of horror is a fear of the unknown. Not knowing the nature of the forces afflicting you. Not knowing their motivations. Not knowing where they are. The Cabin In The Woods stripped that away by completely explaining everything by giving us the perspective of those that were in control and making the decisions.…

No, but that's why he went full auto on the front of the truck cab.

It's obviously all part of a devious double-bluff. Check their defenses with an expeditionary force, make it appear that you are disorganized and poorly armed, see how they react to the attack, then take that intel and prepare for the *real* attack with your main force of elite, well armed soldiers….

Presumably he died in the hail of bullets that was tossed his way.

You don't survive the zombie apocalypse as a tortoise without eating a few chickens now and then.

I totally had that exact same fear. I was like pissed about it before it even happened I was so certain it was going to happen.

Carol is utilitarian. Morgan is a deontologist.

That is rather frightening to think about.

Is this an Eastern Oregon thing, because I have certainly not encountered that much in my many years of life in the Portland Metro area?

Portland eh? It's times like this I really wish Disqus had a PM system.

F.A.T.E., man. One book and some dice and you're set. Anything beyond that is unnecessary frivolity.
