Aside from the 3D at the time (say what you want about the first movie story-wise, it was a visual feast and had probably the best 3D I've ever seen in any movie ever. And I say this as someone who is NOT a fan of 3D movies. Less about stuff jumping out at you and more about the amazing depth...

I'll just say this: I LOVE my hobbies. I support my TTRPG hobby as much as I can when I can. People put work into these products, wether you value the work or the result of the work it doesn't matter. People put time and effort into the final product and if you want to use that product and...

YUP. It's also why Christopher Nolan broke with Warner Bros and went to Universal. And first movie with Universal? WINS THE OSCAR for Best Director and Best Picture. I'm sure that somewhere there was a warner exec that was looking longingly into incoming traffic for a at least a week.

But they kinda DO demand it. The reasons why box office is down pretty much across the board is because during the pandemic the studios got impatient and even more greedy and decided to all but eliminate the window between theatrical exhibition and streaming. They effectively trained casual...

Supers is my favorite genre hands down. It's the one that I'm the most familiar with and I have the most knowledge of. I've supported every iteration of M&M and while I STILL like Champions better, it is a great system for supers. If this new version is going to be rules lite and less crunchy...

LOL. It's spelled "Haki" not "Hockey"

Also, more recently there's BONE TOMAHAWK, which is to put it mildly is a pretty brutal western/horror hybrid. Then there's DJANGO UNCHAINED which is really a story of a man becoming a better stronger version of himself while trying to rescue the love of his life. There's also THE HATEFUL...

SILVERADO (dir. Lawrence Kasdan 1985) Ragtag group of characters helping to transport a wagon train through dangerous territory. At some point before or during the trip someone makes off with the money box that contains the savings of every single person on the train. The PC's have to track...

Our Superman was a Brit, Our Batman was a Brit, our Spider-Man is a BRIT. All of these characters are very American. Peter is a kid from Forest Hills, Queens, for chrissakes. So an American behind the scenes, writing a character that they intimately know the lore for? I don't see the problem.

I STILL have my Core Rules CD-ROM! That was a great product.

I will probably see ALL of them as I have an AMC A-List subscription. The only one on that list that I'm not eager to see is THE NAKED GUN (as buffoonery/slapstick comedy isn't really my thing). I've already seen M:I - THE FINAL RECKONING twice and have my tickets pre-ordered for both SUPERMAN...

There are also more than a few single character superhero movies that fall flat because of weak writing and or editing. There's also the fact that James Gunn wrote and directed THREE Guardians of the Galaxy movies. I think he knows how to juggle characters, giving everyone their moment to...

I'm the opposite. Reeve personifies the big blue boy scout for the time period but having read more than a few Superman comics none of the movies thus far actually capture Superman or the DCU accurately for my tastes. Donner's 1978 Superman gets the character right but none of the spectacle...

Fandom is...Funny. I grew up watching the original show with my dad on WNYW here in NYC. It used to come on after Drive in Movie (which was the program that aired Shaw Brother Kung Fu movies). I liked the show quite a bit as a kid but I'm also a rational human being with common sense who...

I stumbled into D&D, but when I got my first issue of Dragon Magazine back in the early/mid 80's I found out that D&D wasn't the only RPG. There were ads for TOP SECRET, STAR FRONTIERS, GAMMA WORLD, BOOT HILL, TRAVELLER, VILLAINS AND VIGILANTES, and a new MARVEL SUPER HEROES Game was coming out...
