Now I’m weirded out that Tarantino has always worked with the Weinstein Company and his movies always have fetish stuff in them and in Basterds he stood in for Waltz in the (now in hindsight vaguely erotic) strangulation scene where the actress says she legitimately couldn’t breathe

Yeah Beckinsale’s account made sense, if I were a young actor dealing with a producer who wanted to have a meeting in a room in his robe, before this whole fiasco I’d probably have thought “I guess the stories of Hollywood rich dudes being eccentric are true”, like maybe he just liked informality. It’s one of those…

Dude, I was rooting for you until you turned this corner here. It’s not women’s fault that they get spooked easily when men come on too strongly and unexpectedly. Just like it’s not your fault that you find it difficult to know exactly how to approach women. They are how they are and you are how you are and so long as…

Yes, here’s my quandary: the Prime Material Plane (aka the dimension/planet you play in/on) has two “echoes” called the Shadowfell (referenced in Stranger Things) and the Feywild. The problem is the Feywild is an entire dimension/planet that mirrors the main world but with more colourful/vivid/impressive flora and…

That’s the one thing that struck me about ToA: the intro seems to assume you’re not FROM Chult unless you have the “Outlander” background. The “default POV is non-Chultan” is a presumption that does really make it unsurprising that no black people were directly involved in developing it.

I could be wrong but after some brief googling it seems that Chult is not the only “African” nation in the Forgotten Realms setting: that entire peninsula is. Well, I SAY peninsula, but after the Spellplague it’s broken off and become an island. The nation of Samarach, for example, is a hermit nation walled off by…

In the interests of encouraging WotC towards the type of stuff you like, I think it’d be helpful to maybe write an article on the community-written adventures on the DM’s Guild that exemplify the sort of innovation you advocate. WotC have started a program where they publish selected adventures by community writers…

Masterclass in sarcasm right here, I love it

I don’t get it. Illegally entering the country is illegal. It’s illegal because:

Clever of Lohan: she might get a career revival if/when Weinstein gets off

Meryl Streep is white and she got a reaction. My guess is Trump will tweet about it for a day and then move on to the next distraction

Well then it sounds like everyone here agrees that the solution is to elect people who will un-sabotage the ACA. Common ground is a rare thing to find so, you know, this is a good conversation. Are there any specific improvements you’d like?

Yes, it’s wrong

Tripled from what to what? You need to give absolute numbers. An increase from $1 to $3 per annum (for a hypothetical example) would be tripling the cost but it would still be incredibly affordable. Absolute numbers tell us what the actual situation is. “Tripled” tells us almost nothing in real-world terms.

Country was also one of the genres Ray Charles dabbled in (e.g. I’m Movin’ On).

I dunno why you’re so gung-ho about wrestling not being a real sport when you like soccer. They both involve people pretending they’re injured

Why does an Android need glasses

I prefer to judge “what’s worth doing” by Dickens - in A Christmas Carol, the part that NEVER gets adapted for movies is the mournful ghosts: Scrooge goes out into the streets and sees thousands of dead souls wandering around, gazing sorrowfully at the homeless and starving. In this interpretation of theology, hell is…

Wow, I never saw one of those stone heads side-on. I wonder if they originally had trees planted behind them to look like hair.
