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.

It's bad but I have some fondness for the miniseries Rose Red. It's basically what you would get if a hack wrote a sequel to The Shining while ripping off Matheson's Hell House. All of the basic rules of The Shining are there but everything is just bigger. If you die in the house you become...

Between the movie and the book there is the perfect horror story in Pet Semetary. The movie fucks up when it introduces the story of the father that buried his son in the ol' Mickmack Burial Grounds and he comes back a zombie. In the book he comes back harrowed. He knows things he shouldn't and...

I've complained about this before and I'm going to complain about it again but he sabotaged his own multiverse in the later Dark Tower books. Some of the books are real events (real in that they take place at least somewhere in the multiverse) and some books are Stephen King the Writer...

The first film should have been gritty, based on the first book only, and inexpensive. It's The Man With No Name in a Weird West setting. That's it. We're in a wasteland, he shoots a bunch of people, we spend a little time with Flagg and Jake, Jake says "go forth for there are worlds other than...

You can see Patrick Hockstetter in the trailer including a missing persons poster on a poll for him but it does seem very unlikely he'll be wanking off Henry Bowers while Beverly watches and gets all misty when she realizes Bill also has a dick just like the boys she is spying on. I just...

How can you not like Mordred!?! It's an Arthurian legend reference! New villain introduced in the ass end of the series, immediately jobs out Randal Flagg (the Man in Black himself and villain of The Stand and Eyes of the Dragon) so we never get a final confrontation between Roland and Flagg...

The robots fighting parts in the first film were great. The huge gap between the first robot fight and the second robot fight in conjunction with the horrible comic relief subplot really dragged the entire movie down for me. I wanted the movie to be more serious than it was and we don't really...

The game has some charm when it's Mario and Fox and the like but it loses even that small positive when it's Bayonetta vs Cloud. Nintendo Anime Fighter is not interesting.

Alright, I finished the thing. I put it down for a few days because it was just nonstop unpleasantness. From the gorilla, to the story about the father and the bird, to the turtle it felt like there wasn't any more actual story. For the remainder of the book we'd just be trying to make the...

The Hole and Paineel made it in pre-Kunark but was not present at launch.

Then it sounds like you got the full experience.

That part, in addition to being horrific, does extra work in giving you somewhat of a timetable for the main story. Oh, this shit's going to get really ugly really fast. OK then.

Finishing up the section involving the ape test subject. Looks to be approaching the halfway point. I found it to be uniquely unpleasant. It just went on and on and on and on. I was sorta ambivalent about the book thus far but now I'm mighty interested in seeing where it goes.

Well I'm not good with numbers but I stand by my dark premonitions!

Don't worry about this season. It'll be great. Season three is going to be the one that sucks after the show acquires a strong political bent and ceases to be a frantic sci-fi adventure.

Exp pots stack additively with bonus exp weekends. The bonus exp from a pot and a weekend don't multiple together.

That's the kind of advertising that annoys your core audience while doing nothing to drag in new viewers.
