I haven’t played this game, but… aren’t you supposed to explore every nanometer of the dungeon? What if you miss something?

Folks, lay off of Trent100. Look at it this way: Zefram Cochrane launched the first warp capable ship in 2063, flying up from the ashes of a world ruined by WWIII. The Trump presidency is bringing us ever closer to that ruined world.

Quick, think of the character you hate the most on American Gods. Did you answer Mad Sweeney?

She lights up the screen as Media, which is, I guess, appropriate. And it is a delight to see what new guise she’s going to be in, each time she appears.

Honestly, those are the best kinds of directors. They show up on set, knowing what they want, they communicate it, grab two takes, and then move onto the next setup. Time is money. It’s also what makes Corman so great (and even though Corman movies are cheap and full of filler, they’re still great to see).

And I’m gonna say, I don’t hate Harry Potter. It’s fine, but I never caught any sense of true magic or wonder from it- magic in that world seems pretty prosaic, and actually attending Hogwarts as a student just seems like an invitation to suicide: stupid competitions and the house cup nonsense, abusive teachers, and a…

It was in the early 2000s, and a friend handed me the first book, saying, “It’s kinda like Duane’s Young Wizards series, but not as good.” They were right, but I guess I read all the books anyway. I didn’t discover the Young Wizards until I was about 18, which was around the time the first Harry Potter books were out,…

That was some top notch Doctor Who. I loved the actual “let’s pay attention to relativity a little bit,” portion.

The problem with that is one of mechanical efficiency- would the collapsing universe collapse hard enough to create a singularity? If it did, would it retain enough energy to Big Bang again? How many times would it be able to do that?

The wigs on Arrow S6 are looking much more realistic.

I don’t have any guilty pleasures, because I have no sense of shame. I’m eclectic in my likes, and very specific in my dislikes. The closest I probably get to a guilty pleasure are Sandman Slim novels, and that’s because they’re… a weird hybrid of a Mary-Sue with a tortured hero, but again- I don’t really feel that…

I actually watched it recently, and I have to disagree in the strongest terms. Yes, Patrick Stewart and Alfre Woodard bring a lot to their roles. They did great jobs. But the overall production value looks bad. The way everything is directed is just… lazy. And the dialogue… yeesh. And it’s not even that it’s hammy-…

Yet none of that particularly matters to the story. They’re bolt ons to try and give the story stakes (and I don’t think it does a great job of that, honestly). The Borg aren’t anything like the Borg we saw before, so the idea that it ties in to TNG’s best arc is pretty tenuous as well. It ends up feeling like a…

I think you would like TVH more. Because they’re using real locations in the modern day, it doesn’t have any of the cheapness. The humor is honest and rooted in the characters, not forced into the story because “it needs to be funny” (TOS in general was a funnier show than TNG). It also is much closer to the Star Trek…

But this movie is really something special. It has a great storyline and this character that I play, who you will soon meet, is really special. So I’m very excited for people to see it.

No, it’s arguable. First off, in terms of sheer box office, ST:TVH is clearly the most popular, and I think its “no bad guy, no explosions” ethos actually brings it more in line with what a Star Trek movie should be like. The character beats are bang on, there’s a good mix of humor and adventure, and it’s easily the…

Oh, this is so wrong. ST:FC is a mediocre action movie with shit production value. The sets look like garbage- worse than TV quality. The plot barely hangs together as action schlock, and it certainly doesn’t read like a Star Trek film, in any meaningful way.

Oh man, Jose Chung’s From Outer Space remains one of the greatest 45 minutes of TV ever.

Neither, for a few reasons. First, you have Kubrick and Peter Sellers at the height of their powers. But second, despite the grim subject matter, Kubrick came at the movie from a very, very distinct point of view: no matter how insane or foolish his characters were, the real insanity was the Cold War and mutually…
