Your description sounds a lot like The Orphanage (http://www.imdb.com/title/t… even thought that doesn't really fit the 85-95 time period you think it was made in.

My entire screening thought it was hysterical. Then again, I did go during the film festival so maybe the audience was predisposed to like it.

I enjoyed The Avengers as much as everyone else, but I had the exact same thing happen to me with Inception. I started off thinking Inception was good, but nowhere near as good as many people considered it to be. However, after months of arguing with other people about the various issues I had with the film, I slowly…

Is Cricket Captain 2013 going to be on Mac? I have the 2011 version right now and, while it is awesome, I think my latest system update screwed up some of the colours in the game.

It can't be a good year to be a Highlanders fan. As a Chiefs fan who has had to suffer through years of similarly poor starts, I'd advise that you hope for a late season comeback where they win all the rest of their games to place in the middle of the pack. That's what the Chiefs used to do.

It's probably because I like doing hammy voices (In a 3.5 game I don't DM I play a LE Dread Necromancer Gnome with a silly cherman accent who refers to undead as "ze master race"), but I find the best way to characterise NPCs is with different voices. Giving them separate and distinct voices that line up with their…

I read Storm Front, the first book of The Dresden Files, after hearing one of my flatmates rave about how great the series was. While the book was by no means perfect, I enjoyed it a lot and I'm already about halfway through the second book in the series as well. I think what I really enjoyed is that it wasn't as…

As someone who is relatively new to DMing (I play Pathfinder which is basically a set of house rules for 3.5) I can't give you tons of advice, but I think the key thing is to know your players and talk with them about what they want from the game. My players are very good at role-playing and have a lot of fun doing…

I think there is a typo/factual error in the article. It says that "Scrubs shifts focus from J.D.’s narration toward the janitor’s (in the first three installments of the “His Story” quadrilogy)"  but only the third His Story is from the Janitor's point of view, the first two His Story episodes are centered on Dr. Cox…

I was thinking pretty much the exact same thing as I watched the episode, and I think VanDerWerff said something similar in the review. Hopefully the writers will tone down some of the broader elements as the season continues, even though VanDerWerff's thoughts on the third episode don't leave me too confident that…

I'm also currently trying to make a much more ambitious short film than my previous ones, and after months of preparation and a script which ended up at around 29 pages (at this point I'm basically making a really low budget TV pilot which no one would buy) I should be starting filming tomorrow.

I think a more apt comparison for Frank and Charlie would be Kramer and Newman, not just Kramer (Frank would be Newman in my scenario).

I must have missed the previous posts on this explaining the voting process, so what is happening with the Commies?

For a bad film I suggest you try Santo and the Wax Museum, which I watched at my University film society earlier in the year and found hilarious. Essentially its a very cheap and campy film about Santo, a masked mexican wrestler who also solves crimes and generally acts like Batman. The film has it all: hammy acting,…

Happy Endings is a good show, but it only has three funny characters (Brad, Jane and Max) and the other three are all the same character type which I hate, people who are supposed to be funny because they are so bad at trying to be funny. Not a great explanation, but think of Britta from Community (one of the only…

I also read This Book Is Full of Spiders this week (actually I did it in one night where I was up until 7 in the morning) and I thought it was probably a bit better than John Dies at the End for the reasons you stated above, the story is definitely tighter and more organized, and I think that this slightly more…
