I SAW THIS ON BROADWAY. IT WAS A VERY GOOD, VERY DARK SHOW, THAT TOOK SOME TURNS I WAS NOT EXPECTING.

FASCINATING. WELL DONE.

THAT TRAILER FOR BUCKAROO BANZAI IS TERRIBLE. IT’S FUN FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE FANS, BUT IF YOU WERE TRYING TO DECIDE ON A MOVIE, KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT IT, YOU GET ALMOST NOTHING HELPFUL. BUCKAROO IS AN ACTION COMEDY AT HEART, THAT SHOULDN’T BE TOO HARD TO GET ACROSS.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING A PERSONA 4 REFERENCE TODAY.

NO LOVE FOR THE KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR?

22? SO ONLY A FEW YEARS OLDER THE THE TYPICAL JRPG PROTAGONIST?     THAT IS A JOKE. GOOD FOR THEM AND THE GAME LOOKS INTERESTING

YES.

MINOR SPOILERS FOR A FIFTY YEAR OLD BOOK SERIES:
REALLY LEANING IN ON THE GALACTIC CONFLICT ASPECT OF THINGS IN THIS TRAILER, WHICH WAS ALMOST ENTIRELY OFF-SCREEN IN ASIMOV’S BOOKS. OR THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY, AT LEAST. ALSO STRONGLY IMPLYING A MUCH MORE FRAUGHT CREATION STORY FOR THE FOUNDATION ITSELF.

I FIND THE TENDENCY TO EQUATE “MONSTER VOCALS” WITH “REAL METAL” TO BE UNFORTUNATE.

THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT I MEANT. I TEND TO BELIEVE THAT ANY PIECE OF ART SHOULD BE JUDGED TO SOME DEGREE ON ACHIEVING IT’S CREATOR’S INTENTION. IF YOU PREFER CHARACTER DRAMA TO SLAPSTICK COMEDY, THAT IS A VALID PREFERENCE, BUT IT WOULD BE WRONG TO JUDGE HOW GOOD A SLAPSTICK COMEDY IS ON THAT BASIS. I MAY BE MISJUDGING…

I’M NOT SAYING THIS IS SECRETLY A GOOD MOVIE, OR THAT YOUR OPINION IS INVALID, BUT I CANNOT HELP BUT FEEL YOU WANTED THIS TO BE A DIFFERENT MOVIE THAN WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO BE.

AS THE OLD SAYING GOES, WHY NOT BOTH?

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE COMPLAINT ABOUT GLOWING SKY PORTALS SO MANY COMMENTERS MAKE, AS IF THEY SHOW UP TOO MUCH. I SEE THEM ALL THE TIME. THEY ARE LIKE SUNSETS. A MOVIE THAT HAS NO GLOWING SKY PORTAL IS LIKE A MOVIE THAT IGNORES THE FACT THAT MORTALS GO TO THE BATHROOM, OR THAT THEY NEED TO EAT.

I WOULD REALLY REALLY LIKE A PC PORT OF P5R.DON’T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE.

WAS THAT A REAPER AT THE 14-15 SECOND MARK OF THAT INTRO MOVIE?

NOT REALLY. WHILE A RARITY, SERIALIZED PRIME-TIME TELEVISION WELL PREDATED DS9. HILL STREET BLUES, FOR EXAMPLE. ALSO, IF WE INCLUDE SOAP OPERAS, SERIALIZED TV HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME.ALSO, YOU ARE GOING TO ANGER A GREAT MANY BABYLON 5 FANS.

OVERCHARGING FOR MEDIOCRE FOOD IS AN OLD TRADITION, BUT I BELIEVE THAT PLANET HOLLYWOOD TOOK IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL, AS THEY SAY.NOW I WANT A CURRY.

JEMISIN IS VERY GOOD, BUT I CAUTION YOU: ONLY IF YOU ARE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO DOES NOT MIND NOT REALLY UNDERSTANDING WHY ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING UNTIL THE LAST ~25% OR SO OF THE FINAL BOOK, WILL YOU LOVE THIS. IT IS POSSIBLE YOU MIGHT LOVE IT EVEN IF YOU DO NOT LIKE BEING IN THE DARK THAT LONG, BUT BE AWARE.

I HOPE TO FINISH TRAILS OF COLD STEEL 2 AND START MASS EFFECT LE. I HAD THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN LAST WEEK, BUT IT TURNED OUT THE DEFINITELY FINAL DUNGEON (WITH A FOUR-PART FINAL BOSS FIGHT!) WAS ACTUALLY THE THIRD TO LAST DUNGEON, AND HAS TURNED FINISHING A GAME I WAS ENJOYING INTO SOMETHING OF A SLOG.
THE DEGREE TO…

PICKETT ALSO GETS CREDIT FOR HONESTY. LEGEND GOES WHEN ASKED WHY THE CHARGE FAILED, HE REPLIED “I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE YANKEES HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.”
