His episode of VH1's Behind the Music is pretty great.

Please sir, may we have a story?

On LJ we had a rule for the first month of Kunark where to bid on loot from Phara Dar you needed 50% or better attendance. The main thing that very reasonable sounding restriction did was put cloaks on non-healers for artificially low prices that fucking tripled once the restriction was lifted...

Part timers tend to be valuable filler and DKP itself already controls for attendance. Making them second class citizens just seems so counter productive.

I think part of the problem is that studios are very much looking for the next cinematic universe that they can make an endless parade of movies for. The success of the Marvel films and now Star Wars is exerting a powerful gravitational pull in Hollywood and making it hard to get original films...

I've made this exact post several times but I'm going to make it again and no one can stop me. Movie 1 - A shadowy figure (Will Smith) contacts a young Antifa revolutionary with a talent for programming (Jaden Smith as Morpheus) and hints that the world he lives in may not be what it seems...

This movie reminded me of Nightmare on Elm Street quite a bit at times and I think that actress could make an excellent Nancy Thompson in a new reboot of the franchise. Alert Hollywood.

I just got back from the theater and while I thought it was pretty good it was definitely a mainstream horror film. It was often loud and was lacking in the kind of subtlety necessary to really make a film really scary. It had plenty of things I thought were just great (the television talking...

The eighth of November.

This is a test designed to keep blacks from voting, right?

It's hard to view this episode on its own merits after the previous episode set the high point of the series.

Using myself as a comparison it looks to be alright. Not all of the items it lists are actually available and it looks to be missing the Kunark Archaeologist items but if you are looking for a list of items for each slot it looks to be better than the p1999 equipment wiki.

Henry Bowers getting a handy from Patrick Hockstetter, the kid that suffocated his baby brother to death and suffocates animals in a garbage dump refrigerator (all in detail) while Bevery watches is a more fucked up scene but the gangbang gets all the glory.

It's a reference to

Hooooooooly shit this episode was good. Maybe the best of the series.

I assembled an infographic to help explain my disagreement - I'm making a killing selling wands but shit is pretty ridiculous.

I always got the impression in the book that the clown facade wasn't as good as It thought it was.

That's the scene everyone remembers but the whole book is just loaded with creepy shit. I've listened to the audio book a few times including once this year and I do like it but holy shit it gets distracting if you're taking note.

Flip it with an alchemist.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I was being hyperbolic. Most films in any given year either suck or are forgettable. Look at how many movies came out in that year. I doubt you even recognize the title of more than one in twenty.

Of course they suck. Most movies suck. He talks about Taxi Driver in the video. This is the Wikipedia entry for the films of 1976 - 1976 in film - Wikipedia I can't recognize any of this shit and I'm old. The second highest grossing film of the year is a documentary about the history of...

On Sleeper during Kunark we had hotzone exp and hotzone loot drops Zones like the Overthere, Dreadlands, and City of Mist had bonus exp and out of era loot so people didn't have to cluster in Seb.

A bit part of why Star Trek Open Bracket 2009 Closed Bracket worked for me and why I mostly like the new films is that the TNG movies were just so fucking terrible. After Star Trek Nemesis I was just done with the whole fucking series. I was ready for something new. Much as how TNG decayed over...

That joke with tech support is my favorite of the series.

I sorta remember part of the "exploit" involved them using CotH to manage healer aggro? That ring any bells with anyone?

I suspect I'd feel the same way about this review as I would about a Plinkett review of the Total Recall or Robocop remakes. While I may love the original films I just don't give a fuck about the new ones. I couldn't even finish Ghostbusters Answer the Call in one sitting. I just didn't care...

Started book one, pretty happy with it so far.

Organized crime. You choose organized crime.

I didn't really like the previous episode all that much but I was super, super happy with this one. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a retarded initial premise pave the way to something of such high quality in any media ever.

Watching these films my head fills up with a parade of thoughts that mostly all boil down to "I don't understand why this character is doing what they are doing." I can't let it go and I end up not having all that great a time watching the film. The space truckers in Alien and space marines...

The Resident Evil franchise ran CGI action reloading into the ground years ago. It would have been much better if Idris had practiced some actual fast reloading techniques or at least something sorta grounded in reality like in Equilibrium.

Got my AC/DC mixed up. It's Who Made Who that's the official album which makes a ton more sense anyway.

The only thing? C'mon now. The official soundtrack (for real) is Back in Black by AC/DC.

Putting Maximum Overdrive at the bottom is just silly. That's a fine place for Riding the Bullet to occupy.

You don't remember a single line of dialogue at the ass end of a a 1000 page book? Get good son, get good. I like Insomnia quite a bit but rereading a synopsis for it I can't even comprehend how it's so long for so little happening.

On his last loop Roland earned a chance at redemption as now he restarted with the Horn of Arthur Eld at his side. He goes on his adventure, he gets to the tower, he blows the horn, and he gets to stop. Speaking of perma-salt I'm going to be salty about this forever too probably - King...

He chews scenery but in a good way.

The Langoliers is bad but in a way that's still entertaining.

Phantasm and Phantasm 2 are the first horror films I have any memory of seeing where it felt like the villain won. I don't mean a Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Carrie style twist jump scare ending. Sure, there's some of that in Phantasm to be sure but these are movies where our...

JJ Abrams helped the remastered 4k version of Phantasm get made. If you haven't seen it in a while give it a go. It's still pretty odd as an adult.
