If only "extended laser sword fighting scenes and space ship battles" translated into "good laser sword fighting scenes and space ship battles". The next director should be strapped to a chair Clockwork-Orange style and forced to watch the trench run from episode IV and the lightsaber battle from episode V until they…

Isn't there a flashback scene in Neuromancer in which Molly Millions recalls how she once woke up from her employer-induced blackout (she was selling her body to pay for implants) and found herself in a weird snuff scenario? Didn't that scenario involve her using her cybernetic claws to cut up another girl for the…

Tribute? I saw it as a mockery - which makes it hard to watch the exact same plot played straight.

No kidding - it's hard not to think about the message of Cabin in the Woods about horror movies/audiences/tropes while watching this.

If we're going to talk video games, Longest Journey 2/Dreamfall 2 needs to happen someday (it's been at least a decade since the last game ended in a cliffhanger). I need to know what happened to April Ryan and (more importantly) Crow!

[Meant to reply elsewhere - ignore post]

That anecdote wasn't an accident - it was a heartless attempt to "unhinge" Ryan's opponent (i.e., to make him "grumpy angry" rather than "bemused angry"). Even knowing who was talking, my jaw hit the floor on that one.

Okay - so who wants to match the Whedon regulars to these descriptions? I'm guessing that 70-80% of the main actors will have appeared on Firefly/Dollhouse/Angel/Buffy.

I saw this movie for the first time perhaps 20 years ago and it is awesome - every time Inigo finally corners Count Rugen my eyes start watering (of course, I get misty during the story's opening narration and Wesley's "as you wishes"). The book is awesome, too - although Buttercup's characterization threw me for a…

"aimed for teenage girls crap" - obviously someone isn't bright enough to appreciate Buffy and is feeling a bit defensive.

AD&D 2nd Edition with D&D 3.5 math? That does sound like the ideal core onto which different modules (4E battle-grid combat, 3.5E skills, 2E kits, 1E zaniness) could be fitted into without too much hassle. I suppose people who really like Thac0s would be disappointed, but those people need help anyway.

These guys are doing it all wrong - obviously you need to kiss the girl and then scream "Fire!!!/Look out, he's got a weapon!/Why is Ryan Gosling kissing that girl?" as loudly as possible

My two cents: Karl Rove et. al. have told Rasmussen to fabricate some data to make Akin drop out of the race and Rasmussen (naturally) complied.

Well, we all know how much everyone loved the supersonic sky-sex when it was Buffy and Angel. On a personal note, though, I expect to see some lasso/kryponite powered BDSM or I'm not buying it.

Agreed - this really does read more like advice for a DM/GM than an author. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Obviously there is a systematic problem with the way lactation nurses are trained - I've come close to physical violence with two of them after two different pregnancies. There's really nothing worse than a fundamentalist who thinks their way is the only way and then bullies someone who is already in a…

Yes, for two reasons:

This sounds like a non-controversial idea, although I can easily imagine this same technology being used to commandeer and/or compromise "enemy" satellites.
