The original had some of the unfortunate frat mentality that characterized Murray and Ramis's early careers, so I think an all-female cast is a good idea. I don't particularly like Feig's approach to characters and stories, but he's one of the only major players consciously trying to correct for the…

True. It's funny how the solitude of Myst and Riven is one of their most comforting and appealing elements, while the solitude of an MMO just feels like… sad emptiness. But on occasion there is still a reasonable number of people in Uru. I'm not on nearly as often as my wife, but there was a major server wipe recently…

Also, from what I understand, Rand and Robyn are collaborating on "Abduction," Cyan's latest project, but I might be wrong.

I'm very surprised I haven't heard of this, given that my wife is pretty plugged-in to the still-alive Uru community and Myst forum community.

I wish they'd asked him about "Bobby." That was an odd little project, but I kinda liked it. And he worked with a lot of other interesting people on it.

Being a lifelong and completist fan of Tolkien, and having come to appreciate Jackson's LOTR adaptations quite a lot over the course of a few open-minded viewings spread out over the 2000s, I ended up visiting New Zealand in 2012 primarily to see the Hobbiton set and some of the other shooting locations.

Have you seen Kurosawa's? It's really quite excellent.

Religion is a protected category in employment matters. I don't know why just any ol' belief, such as this idiocy that Rob Schneider subscribes to, isn't.

No kidding, that is outrageous. No wonder I remember so little about those movies. I've successfully suppressed them.

I totally avoid trailers, but only IF I'm excited for a movie. If I don't care about it, I'll watch a trailer.

I've never been so proud to be anti-spoiler.
