I think Screaming Lord Sutch proudly holds that lineage in British hands for as long as he lives. And perhaps more proudly after his death.

This really seems to be more in the realm of a literary shared fictional world, like that of the Brontë children, rather than anything directly RPG-related. While the line between the two was kind of blurred in the paleo-D&D era, a real intention to “game” this setting would show more mechanical evidence of such —…

I think it suffers from following close behind such a sustained stretch of action. From the point when Indy recovers from the mind control and takes on the cultists in the excavation to the point where they escape the flooding tunnels on the cliff is one of the longest sustained fight/chase sequences I can recall in a…

I’m not sure I agree that the “darkness” was a significant problem. I think it was a certain forced and antic feel to the thrill-ride elements in contrast with the original. It’s telling that the best action sequence is the opening, which was originally written for the preceding film. For me at the time, the airplane…

Maybe a little younger than he was at the time, only because by 1981 he was a little too laid back and smirky.

More importantly, they would likely have killed or maimed Marion after doing so.

That’s a piece of the story, but I believe in a bigger conspiracy — that some arm of the US government has “curated” UFO mania over the years as a form of psychological warfare tool and weapon. It’s not clear to me whether they even have a clear objective, or whether they’re just experimenting with the technologies of…

Marxist fanboys got so tired of waiting for the workers to rise up, they’ve now pinned their hopes on a more logical and efficient robot bourgeoisie.

I think B+ is probably about right for this episode, but I full on cracked up at Ms. LaBonz’s outburst about “forced retirement”.

Indeed. We’ve definitely had unfortunate past experiences with other reviewers who don’t even remember to watch the whole episode.

If I owned a Furby, better yet in original unopened packaging, I’d be thrilled by this trend, and encouraging it at every turn. Every Furby sacrificed for cheap internet thrills enhances the value of your own.

There’s a serious marketing opportunity here to have “Q” trick this out in the next Bond movie.

Well, the original Wells story was, I believe, inspired by a tale from Plato’s Republic, which was meant to illustrate how public scrutiny and accountability were necessary to human morality. So the theme of hubris is arguably baked in, but intended universally.

Other characters, not privy to Cecilia’s specific experiences (or the title of the movie)

They seemed quite ready to eat Luke and the rest of the team, even over Leia and apparent deity C3PO’s objections, until Luke pulled the levitation trick to give 3PO’s wrath a little more weight.

keeps veering off into mild detours, like a role-playing campaign run by an unimaginative DM

Ocean wrecks typically don’t have corpses lying about due to scavenging marine life, but I think the Great Lakes are prone to preserve things.

Kid-focused or not, the Toy Story line really weaves between those tiers.

I think those outfits make a lot of sense for a Captain -- They’d surely thwart any mutiny I might have contemplated participating in.

Carrie Fisher’s Saturday Night Live “Beach Blanket Bimbo from Outer Space” outfit in 1978 was a pretty awesome preview in its own right. Though my heart will always belong to Ms. Munro.
