A well-made film by definition is not a mediocre one.

Yes because Sam Raimi was the first person ever to figure this out. Friedkin, Hill, Peter Yates…

Some board games this week at the local game night. Loony Quest is a game where you try to work out a safe path through a video-game-like board by drawing on transparencies and then overlaying them. I kinda suck at it so it's hard to say whether it's any good or not.

So Who only gets 12 episodes this season instead of 13? Damn this has just flown by.

Nice.

Yeah I'm not sure what expectations you can have for something that is literally dumped on the market with as little support as possible.

Yeah, even though her second album didn't do that well she probably could have kept at it if she wanted to- but instead that was around the time she flew to America.

The D&D 4e game is FINALLY, FINALLY fully back on track- we have players replacing the ones who dropped out and I've handled the transition to their PCs and so on. The heroes foiled an attempt by the main cult to kill the captured leader of the attack on the village, took the prisoners up to the abbey of their order,…

I'm a huge fan of the incredibly brief pop career of Tracey Ullman. The one hit was, of course, "They Don't Know", a cover of Kirsty Maccoll's homage to the girl group sound, though there were a few other chart placers. (Kirsty was cool with the whole thing since the original had kinda gotten buried by a strike at the…

Nah, WWE claims this kinda pioneering bullshit all the time. They marketed the Women's Revolution, they talked all about how big this was, just like they deck themselves in pink every October or ally with BA Star even as they let JBL bully a coworker out of the business. It's a sleazy carny operation which keeps…

A big thing is it's been a struggle for women in the WWE to get even this far because of sexism in the company culture and in wrestling in general. It wasn't too long ago that they were Divas and hired on the basis of how good they looked in a bikini, and even as they started to get more time it took a while for the…

I've had the opposite experience- the organic milk tastes better but the expiration date is a lot more accurate.

The difference is Wright left before filming had started. Changing directors this far into actual shooting historically does not work that well.

Brock being the champ, seemingly for the long term (I've heard rumors of them wanting to do Reigns/Lesnar again but properly for next WM), has really done a number on my interest in WWE. I didn't mind it in 2014-2015 but somehow now it's just "Okay, but who should we actually be paying attention to?"

So far there's been not much change in the product, or the process.

Did it not originally say that in the article?

It does give Trillian a bit more characterization, which is good. And I love the art design (particularly the tacky Magrathean showroom.)

"But what if someone actually wants extra olives?" "You know, it has never come up."

Was this one of the episodes that was partly co-written?

Grand Theft Auto V was 50% off on XBL so I decided to finally sample that.
