    I.S.S. (2024)

    How about this instead. You get a message. The message says "take the ISS by any means necessary." You assume that the other side got the same message. We can go a step further and assume that when they read their message they will also conclude what our orders are. Given these facts the...

    I.S.S. (2024)

    Made it 2/3rds of the way through before I started fast forwarding. It's pretty bad. The premise isn't horrible but between the decisions of the characters and the current year character archetypes I stopped giving a shit very quickly.

    Band of Brothers

    Boy, and it never develops it either. I will say though that the books it uses for its source material (My Helmet for a Pillow + For the Old Breed) are each much better than the book that is the foundation of Band of Brothers. The Band of Brothers one was dry and not all that insightful. I...

    The Rock is 51 and he's on the gas while having quite a few wrestler miles on that chassis. If he's not incredibly careful he's going to suffer one serious injury after another.

    These things are both true. Warner Brothers would never, ever make Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles today and what they would be willing to make would be woke garbage. HBO slapped the fucking thing with a trigger warning on their streaming service. Season 2 on the way!

    A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)

    In the first film we get news clippings about an EMP crippling New York. Toasting the power grid is instant anarchy by itself and then you throw in aliens on top and that's that. The issue I have is making them invulnerable (again, newspaper clippings) is stupid and impairs the plot...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    If you mention the book in a game store (the magic and dnd and warhammer kind) nerds will materialize from the shadows and gush over it. This is reproducible.

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    Buy whatever you want but it's a book that sits on a shelf. The copy you actually read is probably going to be the mass marketed paperback so when you drip mustard on it who cares.

    I wonder if some of this has to do with Black Adam being a flop. There were reports that Dwayne had a hell of an ego throughout the whole thing including wanting the DCU to put him front and center across Cavill even though the character is a Captain Marvel antagonist. The movie doesn't do very...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I'm guessing there are a number of nerd oriented content creators that see themselves reflected and don't like it. More than one artist was salty over This is Spinal Tap which is a good sign you did your work as a satirist.

    Correct. I do not think that people will buy the same amounts of gold to spend it on different shit. Removing a major destination for bought gold is going to lower demand for gold.

    So far I've read The Black-tongue Thief and The Suicide Motor Club from Buehlman and each was really good. This one is set in the 1930s and our main character is a WW1 vet taking his new bride (who divorced her husband to be with him torching their reputations) to the home he inherited in...
