I said it before but the books that were the basis for The Pacific (My Helmet for a Pillow and For the Old Breed) were great. The show just wasn't super interesting. The books are still a little memorable many years later but all I can recall from the show is following around the medal of honor...

This is Gary Larson's "Cow Tool"s comic from his daily newspaper strip "Farside." It ended up being a major headache for him because no one had any fucking idea what it was about. In his book "The Pre-History of the Farside" he talks about the strip and provides some of the mail he received over...

We talked about this some time ago in the Gamergate thread but orcs are not coded black in Warhammer 40k, Dungeons and Dragons, the works of JR Tolkien, Magic the Gathering, EverQuest, Shadowrun or World of Warcraft. That Will Smith sci fi thing Netflix put out a few years ago had some cholo...

Now's the perfect time to pitch my idea to Warner Brothers for a Crisis on Infinite Earths where we scoop up everyone decent that's ever been in a DC property and face down the Anti-Monitor.

Anyone know what the 60 WSG bracket looks like for Alliance? People doing that shit? Queue times?

Of the war books I've read reminds me the most of the show. It's about the first world war and the US's involvement in it and then story of how we came to have a Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Lots of history, larger than life figures, all that jazz. For actual shows Generation Kill gets the...

Looks like you can take a kendo stick to the fucking face pretty goddamn fast.

Yeah, that was not a good look for her.

These people all subscribe to post-modern views of critique and interpretation so fuck 'em. Objective truth isn't real, there is no correct view and what the creator intended doesn't mean shit. LULZ RED PILL BLUE PILL IS ABOUT TRANNIES AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN HAHA BIGOT Yeah and the people you...

And then as you got higher and higher level the effects were even bigger and more sparkly until you had a fucking river of power erupting from your hands. Those small touches really make a difference.

I gave it long enough for "Louis' story was full of shit I'm a rock star now lol" so like, 20 pages. I'll move it out of the "never" category though.

I wish The Pacific was better. The books that were it's foundation (For the Old Breed and My Helmet for a Pillow were great though)

Captain Sobel would go on to blind himself in a botched suicide attempt and spend the rest of his days in assisted living. I can see why they left this out at the end of the show when they were telling you where everyone ended up but I still wish he was given a moment.

Some of the D-Day stuff with the planes is not amazing but I think it's stylized enough to not be a distraction.

Show is great but the book was disappointing. I know that now more than one has been written about Easy Company but the one that served as the foundation was not particularly interesting nor did it add much of anything to their story.

Damn, Interview was released in 1976. That bitch wasn't just ahead of her time. She crystalized the entire aristocratic vampire archetype fleshing out their culture and society. She's the William Gibson of vampires. That book had to be quite the mind blower in the 70s.

I liked Interview With a Vampire alright but I gave up on The Vampire Lestat in like twenty pages. I never read them but years ago Yahtzee (the Zero Punctuation guy) did reviews of Anne Rice's porno rewrites of Sleeping Beauty http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/reviews/beauty.htm I think Rice...

I still can't believe a character as cool and as integral to the plot as Morpheus has such absolute nothing to do in the third film.

No.

Her last speech is the worst speech. I think it's supposed to be the intersection between her original monologue and Riley's monologue about what happens when you die but it was worse than both and by a lot and undercut what I thought was a pretty sweet plan to deal with the Big Bad.

I wish it didn't have the random comedy sketch right before the last act where the friend goes to the police station. For like 3 or 4 minutes it's a Wayan's Brothers tier comedy for some reason? I do love the friend's last line of dialogue though at the end of the film. That bit of comic...
