Has anyone here played both West End and Fantasy Flight's respective Star Wars RPGs? I'm curious as to how people feel about them. I'd be interested in checking out the Fantasy Flight iteration, but the 500-page rule book looks pretty daunting.

He could also be the hero of an Ayn Rand book.

That reminds me, I really need to read Mark Waid's Incredibles comics.

It's also not too clear what the film's final say on the issue is: it's ok for Dash to compete as long as he contrives to come in second because…?

Just because people are in a relationship doesn't mean they have to watch all the same TV shows. My wife and I sure don't.

I feel like, if a relationship can be ended by a TV show, it probably wasn't that strong to begin with.

So when my current boyfriend, a lovely nerd, asked me if he would like Doctor Who, I did what any sane, yet slightly emotionally damaged woman would do: I lied and told him no.

I don't think the giant worms were ever going to attack. The lead orc dude calls them "earth eaters" or something, so I think their only purpose was to dig a tunnel through which the orc army could take a shortcut and surprise everyone else.

Excellent point.

…Daugherty has worked on… an as-yet-unproduced third G.I. Joe film.

Hayley Atwell or GTFO!

Or the tabletop RPG on which it's based! I haven't yet had a chance to play Numenera, but having skimmed through the rulebook, it's one of the niftiest campaign settings I've ever seen! Creator Monte Cook took influence from Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun as well as Arthur C. Clarke's third law.

As far as video game animals, what about Sif from Dark Souls, i.e., the most heartbreaking boss fight ever? (The big guy's just trying to protect the grave of his fallen master!)

I'm curious if Benioff and Weiss are fans of Dune. If so, they should be locked in a room and forced to write a ten-episode premium cable series based on the first novel. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson should be kept as far away as possible.

Which Kevin Williamson show, The Following or Stalker? Or both?

I really liked the third act of House of the Devil, so I can't completely dismiss it. I just wish the rest of it had had as much incident in the first hour.

If every year were judged by its worst films, there would be no good years for film.

I was working in a video store back when it came out on DVD. There were a group of high school students who came in one night, and one of them went on and on to his friends about how Waking Life was "the best fucking movie" he'd ever seen. One of my co-workers who was there told me it made him never want to see it.

Smith wrote Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet.

Lee must have had all his Thetans purged back then. I haven't seen him in much of anything lately, so maybe he's overdue for some auditing.
