There's definitely some stinkers in his IMDB but I like Bachelor Party, The Money Pit, Dragnet, Big, The 'Burbs, and A League of Their Own all just fine for his early comedy rolls. I think I saw Joe vs the Volcano one time and can only remember a single scene from it. Probably was bad.

One of these days I'm going to win the Mega Millions and when I do I'll make an honest woman out of you.

There was definitely a very weird period where WotC ruled that if a card was marked without sleeves than it was marked with sleeves. That was a stupid couple of months with jerkasses thinking it was cute to get people to de-sleeve. Once everyone was on board with opaque sleeves and that ruling...

There's match has a play in game one where Fleishman attacks with his Ivory Gargoyle and Rade blocks with a Wooly Spider. Fleishamn casts Pyroclasm, it resolves, he points at the spider, and Rade doesn't move. "It takes two damage." The judge then reminds him that when the spider blocks a flier...

I forgot about Thawing Glaciers! That's a great shuffle to combine with Brainstorm. Olle Rade's deck is definitely shitty - 7 Forest 4 Karplusan Forest 7 Mountain 4 Deadly Insect 4 Fyndhorn Elves 4 Giant Trap Door Spider 1 Gorilla Shaman 2 Orcish Cannoneers 2 Storm Shaman 4 Woolly...

Yeah, once Necro starts picking up a red splash it gets just so damn much better. Whirling Dervish? White Knight? You just bolt those damn things. You pick up Red Elemental Blast/Pyroblast to deal with Stasis, and artifact removal for Winter Orb. I always really, really liked Randy Buehler's...

Brainstorm is one of the cards that I most find interesting in hindsight. There weren't a ton of shuffle mechanics available on the cheap like there are now but there's Land Tax and Merchant Scroll. Later with Mirage you get some acceptable fetch lands, there's Rampant Growth, Enlightened Tutor...

Sure, the second Black Vise got restricted people like Leon Lindback were showing up to their weeklies with Necropotence, but we were all pretty derpy as a whole in our card evaluations. The internet was in its infancy so information was slow to travel. It took time for Land Tax and Necropotence...

Illusions/Donate may be what people remember but it was Necropotence that broke everything. That card had made it through more than one Standard, got reprinted in 5th for another go, was unrestricted/unbanned in all formats, but once everyone figured out to use it to fuel combo decks shit got...

I don't think Mist is talking about wealth being discouraging but that there is a system in place that discourages. If you take a group of people and you tell them their whole lives the system is rigged against them, that they are judged by the color of their skin, that they'll never be treated...

Oh man, Planar Chaos Donate? Sign me up! edit - there has to be some gimmicky shit to do with that in Modern

Reviews will be below average, it'll do fine in the box office but less than the studio hopes, and it won't leave any lasting cultural footprint.

I'm surprised she's in a regular Standard legal set and not some other product. WotC doesn't print cards that efficiently interfere with your opponent's resources hardly ever anymore. 10/10 would rare draft every time.

You keep going on and on about boys behaving badly when all it takes to get a lower grade is to put a boy's name on a paper.

Women teachers score boys lower because patriarchy is absurd. Boys are systemically discriminated against in education at all levels.

This article you linked talks about grades and basically nothing else so on the subject of grades - teachers give higher marks to girls than boys. Also, boys know this and perform worse because of it. Teachers 'give higher marks to girls' - BBC News Female Teachers Give Male Pupils Lower...

Why you gotta be hating on the tralfamadorians like that?

Whoa whoa, let's not be bringing the "r" word into this. Matt Damon's space madness did not match the quality of the rest of the film is all I'm saying.

I know I've made this post a couple times in this thread but he's just so damnedcliche'.Good writing, good acting, and some variation of the usual really elevated the familiar sci-fi tropes that the movie is full of. It didn't feel derivative watching it and I've seen my fair share of sci-fi...

Why you gotta be hating on kids? Jim Ward from TSR used to have an article in Scrye Magazine where he complained about losing to 13 year olds at the weekly Magic tournament at the store he went to. He was not a good player and the kids he was losing to were putting inwaymore time than he was...

Not Standard levels of mainstream no butmoremainstream.

I don't think Wizardswantsto keep people out of the older formats but there isn't really much of a way of getting people in to them that doesn't break a two-decades long promise that people have made a great many financial decisions regarding. Really, it's fine the direction they have chosen to...

The real no effort move is to just ban duals from Legacy but I think that would piss people off more than printing new ones would.

I came into the game during 4th Edition/Fallen Empires and missed out on all of the older cards. Standard wasn't a format yet and even parks of The Dark were well above MSRP. When Chronicles came out there was definitely a divide of sorts between younger/newer players and the people who had been...

I'll never forgive Infect for what it did to the MTGO standard casual room.

Free/alternate casting costs have been a problem many a time. I'm hoping they won't forget again that fire is hot for a while. Prerelease for me was pretty cool. There was a guy with baller Mana Crypt openings that couldn't win a flip (or a game) to save his life, Sinkholes and Wastelands...

It's a heavy burden but you carry it well.

I had forgotten he had The Man Show on Comedy Central.

The Trayvon Martin case is where I started to believe that black people are intentionally set up to fail by the media. edit - Also this girl is super, super racist. I'm sorry she feels the way that she does, I don't know what she has gone through, but she's come out the other end full of hate...

Jesus fuck you get defensive goddamn immediately. No,I'm on your side.In times before I would have been one of the ones that would have maybe pointed to luck because of how large of a roll it can play but in my readings I came across what I thought was a very good explanation of the role of...

I have not confused luck with persistence, no.

Luck plays a large role in our lives both in our successes and our failures. John Grisham, before finally finding a publisher for his first novel A Time to Kill was rejected over twenty times. JK Rowling captains a billion dollar franchise and she was rejected seven our eight times. How could...

Sign up. One of the perks you can get for having prior college is getting to pick where you'll be stationed. Choose to be very, very far away from wherever you are now.

You can still join the Army. Door closes when you turn 36. Be all you can be.

I'm a small sample size being just me but all the black NCOs that were either my instructors during basic/AIT or were in my unit at permanent party were all good guys. Actually every single one of them. You give people a fair shake and they'll exceed expectations. The military just happens to be...

I went on to do nothing with the degree I earned but the GI Bill let me get that degree while basically being paid to do so. I graduated without a single nickel worth of debt. The military really is a great option.

What Mist needs is her mom to suffer an accident. Sometimes an accident can be an unhappy woman's best friend.

Just pitch him into the Source Wall. There, done.

I really do not understand what the photo is supposed to mean.
