The dude obviously has his head up his ass (many of his assumptions are factually inaccurate), but he isn’t trying to be a dick. That Google fired him just proved his point. Some places will not tolerate views outside of their left wing circle jerks. I say that as someone in that circle cranking away. What those…

I agree. All her kids are dead. She has no reason to play it soft.

Yeah. The theater I go to is nice. You reserve your seat online and they are leather lounges. I was there by myself (which is a luxury...wife and kids were already asleep). I walk in during the first trailer and there were two other guys who had picked the primo center seats right next to mine. So there are three guys…

I just got out of the movie. Had very low expectations. I know it isn’t going to be what I have been envisioning for 30 years. I’m sorry to say my expectations weren’t low enough. The few plot points they brought forward had all the vitality sucked out of them. It was like they turned it into an ABC Afterschool…

I knew this would happen when Ron Howard took the reins. I’m sure Solo will be a forgettable luke warm movie too. He should stick to talking pies that travel through time for some reason.

Spoiler: In the season finale, the dragons get tired of Daenerys’ shit and eat her. The rest of the houses band together to lead them towards the White Walker army. Last shot is Tyrion using a piece of Daenerys’cloathing to cautiously befriend one of the dragons (they miss her after they eat her), and ridding off on…

It is likely North Korea, possibly with help from Russia. Entertainment is one of America’s most successful exports. If they can steal IP and distribute it through the pirate networks it hurts US GDP. Another clue is that the most early HD pirate releases (that are not cams) all have burned in Korean subtitles. They…

Great minds, my friend. You said it first.

You forgot gratuitous boobs.

I don’t miss it. There is a gizmo called a Headblade just for shaving your head. It looks like a 3-wheeler ATV with a wheel in the front and the blade in the back (depending on model). Makes it easy peasy.

The Simpson’s parody is good too. Married to the Blob.

To be a stickler, Blaine was defeated by Eddie, not Roland. With the joke “Why did the dead baby cross the road? Because it was stapled to the chicken.” The Mid-World equivalent of a divide by zero error.

Props for Molly Millions. They called her Jane in the movie version of Johnny Mnemonic. The actor is Dina Meyer, who was also Dizzy in Starship Troopers.

I’m sure. I like shooting the shit with people on coms more than anything else. The only time I really enjoyed the game was when we went pirate and blew up our sec status. Most PVP was so one sided it was ridiculous.

That is exactly what it is. A second job you pay to do.

Thanks for the clarification. I listened to the audio book a couple of years ago and frequently found myself lost (I was driving, so that may have had something to do with it). I would have to go to the Wiki page just to figure out what I just listened to. Great story. I may have to go back and actually read the book.

Believe me, it took awhile to become comfortable with the idea myself. It just seemed like it would best be shot in a somewhat anime comic book style. It’s half Game of Thrones and half Dragon-ball Z.

I always thought Lord of Light would be great for Zack Snyder. It would fit his style. Or Robert Rodriguez. The script would have to tighten up the original work. IIRC it was originally written as a series of short stories over time. Put together in a solid work it becomes less coherent. That said I’m in full…

Every guy should know who Ed Sheeran is. That ginger Muppet makes excellent panty dropping music.

Didn’t the show start out with Ned seeing a bright comet? No one survives! It’s Armageddon!
