He can do as many shitty money making movies as he wants as long as he does something like Reign Over Me once a decade. RoM budget = roughly 20 million World Wide Gross = $22,222,308

The lense flare didn't kick in until the very end, as they go on their 5 year voyage.

Fall of the Malazan Empire done Band of Brothers style(HBO). I really like how the units communicated on screen with the military / soldier humor. Their world is so big the show could go on for 10 seasons easily. If this got half the credit GoT has, they could even do spin off movies with origin...

Just finished Scott Lynch's stuff. Glad I waited until now since the third book doesn't come out until October. I feel for you guys who read this stuff in 2007. Going to read Matthew Stover's stuff next. It was mentioned in another thread.

Sanderson has practically ruined me on all the other authors out there. All these great series have a 5-8 year gap of RL time while they write / publish the next installment of their universe. The material doesn't even have to be good as long as it's steady! Ug, now I sound like a mmo developer.

My only problem with Week's Night Angel Trilogy was after I read them for a second time, it really doesn't feel like the guy knew where his universe was heading until half way through the second book. In hindsight that annoys me, but I was pleased enough on the first read through. Just...

I liked it, but damn it didn't get good until the last 50 pages. Then cliffhanger. Ugh. I really enjoyed the "science" and the descriptions that this universe implemented, but it's almost too Harry vs Voldemort by idea you get at the ending. Way too short, I read this in a day.

Capital punishments and such had a bigger impact when the world was smaller. I'm not even getting to the moral issues of it. If government can feed and provide healthcare for people who need it, why can't it kill people who need it. I'm cool with killing people though. Especially this asshole.

I never got the bug for DVRs. HD boxes are the only ones we have, but I have a ps3 or 360 connected to any tv I want for netflix / hulu. Even without those consoles I could probably find everything on demand. I do agree about hating the firmware though. The home screen on the smart tv is 10x...

I've had type 1 for so long I can't imagine my life without it. I consider the disease a zero sum accounting system, which I would much prefer to type 2. Your other comment I choose to forget.

My brother is the supply guy for Johnson Controls at the Smyrna Nissan plant. If the Maxima sucks I'll forward his complaints to you.

However, the injection shot can bruise pretty nasty sometimes. Vex, if you ever notice knots under the skin in his injection spots then you might do more than recommend he rotate the injection sites better. Withhold sex. If the guy has this many issues I'm surprised the doctors haven't forced...

My wife is in management at bestbuy and they host a comcast booth. Basically we go in and have to redo our package every 8-12 months whenever the package deals are soon to expire. If we don't the least our bill has increased has been $65, the most around $90. Those guys seem to expect these kind...

Wife just made me watch it. (Hachiko)Then she giggles when the water works start.

Thanks for the link.

Just finished Hemlock Grove, the book that was source for the new netflix series. I was surprised how much the show stuck with the book and it hella cleared up some issues I had with the show, which rarely happens. The book flows kinda choppy though, and it would've bothered me if I didn't drink...

Eh, I see how you say that. I finished the book up last weekend, but I didn't find myself caring about what happened to the main character near as much as I do with Kvothe. My wife says it's because I'm fantasy biased and have no patience for anything else. It might be true. /shrug. I still...

Gamestop had a sale last weekend for used "Star Wars" titles. For ps3 it included both Forced Unleashed titles, the lego games, and the clone wars based on the animated series. So maybe 5 or 6 games in 7 years? Fucking depressing, why even call it a SW sale? I haven't played the lego games, but...

Heh, looking at the sales record for this flick already I don't forsee your rant having any effect.

eh plot wise I had huge issues, like the majority, but this movie is seriously pretty on the 50" smart tv we just bought. Even without 3d on it looks better at home than it did in theater. Good enough for me to watch it a few more times anyway, or to at least have on in the background while...

I just read some of the rants by this guy, J.F. Sargent,Latest one. Clicked a few more of his articles to see if he just hates comics or likes to complain. Holy shit, you'd think a guy would research the topics he hates more. Half of what he thinks is wrong, er..everything?, is only in his head...

Watched a shitty cam version of it, that's good enough for a 7 day wait.

Some of the one liners cracked us the fuck up. Campy? Maybe...yea ok it was. We (wife and I) took the better part of the week to watch this. I enjoyed the unanswered and wrong assumptions the characters made all over the place. We mostly enjoyed the way the lore was treated. Close to tradition...

Last weekend both Sola and Najena had 20+ people in them. Even if half of those are boxes it's still a lot of people for the 20-30 range. Shrug. My guys are 21-23ish, but I haven't been able to play half as much this week as last. Still having fun!

Just finished Brian's book. I enjoyed it overall, but some transitions could've been smoother. Need more story before I say anything negative, so he's at least hooked me.

22 and still having fun. The named situation is pretty streaky though. In uguk 1 in 9 named would drop loot. In solA we're getting a named maybe every other rotation but they always drop loot. Oh wait, this reminds me of classic.

I think the music fit really well. All and all a decent pre-summer movie. I don't mind vanilla sci-fi movies if opens the idea up to more people with a lot less WTF moments than Promethis had. I wouldn't own it, but I'd watch it on cable.

Blame the south? If it ends up being a crazy from the south, hell even if it's a guy on my street I'd beat him with a baseball bat, cut his legs off at the knees with hedge clippers and post pics just for you guys. The "average" white southern is about protecting people. I've seen strangers...

I've been the only one <Rerolled> online for a few days now, rofl.

I'm keeping my sk/shm around Feerott/uguk until they are 14 for self binds. I'll probably head to highpass after that.

Honestly, the exp is a little faster than I remember Vulak being when that launched. For the <10 game anyway. If you're a player screaming in /ooc about boxing only +1 toon ruining the grind please quit sooner rather than later. I have no idea how long I'll stick with this, but I'm still...

I started with Troll SK/Shm combo. Decided against iksar for the plate issues they get. Shrink won't be a problem with the DE mask still in game anyway. Never tried "Evil" this early in a server. Might be different! Vlett is the "main"

Oh shit. Now I gotta try.

Everyone forgot Shadows of the Empire and the more recent Force Unleashed titles. I haven't thought about SotE since high school, I enjoyed it at the time but the n64 was new then too. FU 1 and 2 were both way too short story wise, but I really liked the aspects and use of force powers. I...

If you buy a used copy of Battlefield 3 you'll still need to buy an online pass for $10 from the store. Tried to convert the nephews from CoD and ended up spending a lot more than expected. (4 copies)

Pretty sure this is going to end up being a 5 book series. I like it well enough for this universe, but some of the povs were boring.

I never paid much attention to DC stuff outside of batman / sups, but I was pretty sure huntress stays crazy mdk mode until batman calms her down. They mention a lot of cities outside of Arrow's purview so I wouldn't mind a few guests from Gotham / Bludhaven.

This is actually kind of straight forward. Lithose, do you work for or with someone's state department attache? Most people have no fucking clue things get this deep. You getting frustrated about the communication aspect of it with Numbers is no surprise. We had a college professor kick a kid...

Decent fight scenes. Decent one liners. Serious procedural issues that I ignored since I had drank a few margaritas for lunch. Glad I didn't pay to see it though.
