The ouroborus in entertainment yet again is reborn: a battle royale from a genre that was inspired by a movie will spawn a movie of its own.

The Fortnite movie already happened, it’s called Ready Player One. (Which Luke argues has literary asperations, something I would disagree with!) Anyways they will do it, it will probably suck, we will survive.

California state agencies being more hardass than federal agencies is pretty common. I’ve seen comments from tax lawyers that they’d much rather go up against the IRS than the California Franchise Tax Board.

Its Colin the Energy Vampire’s favorite show ever!

the closeup pic is even better

I can definitely understand this problem!

The fact that you just put everything your DM to figure out and not do the homework yourself really speaks to the kind of player you are. That wouldn’t fly in my group. The rule of cool only works occasionally. The rules are there to keep the game fair and balanced and shouldn’t just be thrown out on a whim. If you…

I mean it’s just nationalism for the most part. Which most American’s like to dress up as “patriotism” because it makes it sound nicer. But nope. It’s nationalism. American’s are so obsessed with telling everyone else that their country is the best that they haven’t noticed how badly it smells.

Agreed - I watched it a few years ago, and I’d forgotten how entertaining it is. I’d also forgotten how many scenes involve the main characters killing the shit out of cops - the sequels shifted focus toward more fantastical enemies (or generic private-security types).

After the mixed (at best) reactions to Reloaded and Revolutions, I really don’t see how a nearly-2-decades later followup is going to improve anything.

The truth is even shadier than that. I work in the industry (not in porn, but in UGC tech and payment processing).

I just want to admire the chemistry of the two captains on 8 out of 10 Cats and later Cats Does Countdown: Jon Richardson as the grumpy prick that you wouldn’t stand and Sean Lock as the grumpy prick that wouldn’t stand you.

Him and Stephen Fry on QI was just gold:

I can’t even imagine Cats does Countdown without him. I’m so sad about this. RIP to the world’s greatest carrot in a box player.

Gonna miss him as hell on Cats Does Countdown. My two favorite jokes/bants of his from that show:

I’ll miss him. he was one of the few constant presences of that acerbic style of humour that just didn’t give a fuck if you were on board or not.
