LONE STAR is incredible. amazing cast, nice puzzle-plot structure and an absolute gut-punch ending.

i had surgery to remove a bone from my foot on Thursday, so i've been laid up all weekend watching Person of Interest on Netflix (and the Simon Pegg/Lake Bell rom-com MAN UP, which was agreeably warm and funny) and looking up maps of Sharn for the next phase of my Eberron campaign. After digging around the internet…

they really do that? does Sayles LONE STAR ever come up? because that's one movie that i'd really like deluxe treatment of… i mean, besides the Kurt Russell John Carpenter movies, of course.

or SLEDGE HAMMER! which i always appreciated more.

so… two things, i guess: there was a scary ice cream truck in TWISTED METAL 3 - maybe it was from Glasgow and haunted?

the original MINDCRIME is still a stone-classic, tho - no clinkers on that sweet baby. (i also like a couple of their earlier singles, like Empire and Jet City Woman.)

and it's like you've never even HEARD of Rip Hunter!

jesus what a bunch of babies… what the fuck is the thought process there?

i always say there are three perfect hordes no one would feel any qualms about mowing down with a machine gun, battleaxe or BFG: zombies, non-humanoid aliens like the xenomorphs or Nazis.

designed by Hugo Boss!

while i am really charmed by the idea there are an infinite number of planets in this game and that the first person to encounter a planet gets naming rights, i've spent enough time on the internet to worry how many of the planets are going to wind up horribly racist or sexist.

ooooh - if one of those planets gets hit by an asteroid and busts off a chunk you can name the resulting moon after that dude from 127 Hours!

i don't have a modern gamesystem (i still like to blow up the Death Star on my GameCube, yo) for this type of game, so maybe i'll check it out in 10 years or so when i find a PS4 at a garage sale or something,

uhm, he lives his live a quarter mile at a time, dude.

i don't know shit about the dude (although I'm a D&D guy so the fact he apparently played a drow elf says a lot about the kind of player he probably is…) but he did the voice of the robot in THE IRON GIANT and the part where he says SOOOOPERMAN always makes me tear up like a little fuckin' baby. so he gets a pass on a…

jimmy fallon is a piece of shit.

my favorite interaction between the two was when Swamp Thing showed up at Constantine's birthday party to grow pot. also, didn't John piss on the Phantom Stranger's shoes? good times…

uhm coz Robert Forster is awesome and we all want good things for him?

huh - this is the show that taught me there are many, many attractive women, even in small towns.

i don't know if you could try something similar but, about 15 years ago i was a reporter and my now ex-wife (we were living together at the time) was getting hassled by the navy because of a death-benefits scholarship she'd received after her dad passed away. she was getting all kinds of threatening letters talking…
