I haven’t played the card game based on the books though I’ve been meaning to. One of the fun eccentricities is there’s a variant of the game that encourages you to cheat by like stealing money or misreading dice or stacking the deck. The one issue that’s stopping me from playing it is that it’s 1-3 hours for a kind…

Bios are one of my favorite genres. You get the close characterization I enjoy from novels plus, if the biographers are good, historical and cultural context of the person. You can learn history of the time as well as the person.

I think you got it right. As I use the terms (usually in the context of board games) tactics are about short-term decisions, what’s best for you right now. Strategy is long-term planning, the overall course of the game/war. Dinosaurs fighting in a city doesn’t seem like it needs too much strategy.

Colin Trevorrow says that they can’t attack a city because dinosaurs can’t organize. Has he seen his own first film? Like where the raptors plan things? THAT’S the logical problem that’s stopping this movie? 

My favorite part of that trilogy might be when they repeat the same paragraph three times to describe the US President, the Soviet premier, and another person. (it’s been a couple years) 

Top 11 books I read in no particular order (this year I tried to read more female authors than previously; my bookshelf was/still is a bit too unbalanced):

Review scores are also pointless but hey, you’re the one who thinks they mean something.

7.4/10... 74%. That’s pretty solid C territory. and 97% only means that they approve of the movie, not by how much they like it. Would C+ still be considered “fresh”?

Or a better idea would be to not trust that specific reviewer if all you’re looking for is agreement and use of a critical review as a purchasing guide. If that’s all you want, find someone who shares your tastes. (The AV Club, and any site that isn’t written solely by one person, is not a monolith.)

I’m surprised he can understand them through all the Spanish moss

A notoriously cantankerous man who made his living playing vaguely misogynistic characters and directing vaguely jingoistic films and who later talked to a chair at the Republican National Convention might have done something untoward to derail a former lover’s career? Doesn’t sound plausible.

Plus lies mean you/your* generation are not the one to blame! It’s very comforting to aging boomers

*impersonal you, not you the elf

Read a couple books by James Baldwin this year, though Beale Street wasn’t one of them. I’ll check this one out! I’m looking forward to guessing which character is closeted.

And this is after she had been molested by a stunt coordinator on a movie set when she was 12 too.

CBS needs to be burned to the ground and senior executives fired. The rot is too strong.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who misses that show. Very underrated. According to Wikipedia it was the final ABC Saturday morning cartoon, so coming at the tail end certainly didn’t help viewership. Luckily I only had broadcast on the weekends so I still caught it.

It’s that episode of Black Mirror all over again

Listen to the Carly version, and you’ll be a believer:
