Drizzt has a lot of complicated motivations going on, which makes for the meaty kind of role that actors just love to inhabit. Unfortunately, the depiction of this character would probably be perceived as something too close to “blackface” and many people would be uncomfortable with it. So, fair or not, accurate or…

What the living fuck? This is depraved. What a world, what a world.

Remember the quote that is widely (but inaccurately) attributed to John: “Ringo isn’t the best drummer in the world. He isn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles.”

A galactic treasure.

I’ve seen every MCU movie so far, most of them in a theater, and many of them on opening day. Thor Ragnarok may not be the “best” MCU film (because c’mon, nothing so far quite stands up to Winter Soldier) but it was far and away the most FUN I have ever had watching a movie. I ended up seeing it like five times, and…

Sometimes a name is just a name. My aunt married a guy whose last name is Ming, and he’s the whitest guy I know. It’s possible he has some Chinese blood way back in his ancestry, but he sure doesn’t look like it.

Good list, dude. I approve (of all those I’m already familiar with). As an aside, I’d just like to mention - if Dune is the only Frank Herbert book you’ve been through, then do yourself a favor and check out The God Makers. It’s (relatively) short, self-contained, and has a lot of fascinating things to say without…

If Star Wars movies are now being released so the toys can coincide with Xmas sales (a perfectly reasonable supposition), and it is now well after the Xmas shopping season, why are you acting like the toys being on clearance is remarkable in any way? Especially since the marketing for the next movie has already begun,…

Reading “me am your father” had me (proverbially) spraying coffee all over my monitor. 

You can’t really go wrong with a kung-fu cowboy slinging a laser gun.

I went on vacation to San Francisco a few years back, maybe 2002 or so. There was a bar on Haight street called Noc Noc (which I think meant Nocturnal, judging by the darkened cave sort of a vibe the place had). The bar had a sign out front advertising the “Anti-Superbowl Party”, which sounded intriguing so we decided…

This is the chorus to an Old 97s song you might enjoy:

Who will, after a series of unfortunate allegations, be replaced by Christopher Plummer.

Hell, buy three and hide one in your boot for later!

Absolutely!

There is one thing and one thing only that people remember about that movie, and it sure as shit isn’t the plot.

IK, R? That might be literally the first time I’ve ever heard anyone say they hated Bill, and I have read many a many a many DW hot taeks in my time.

I’ve been reading a lot of 70s and 80s comics recently, and whilst the underlying stories can be quite good, the actually act of reading them cam be...a slog
