Tim Hunter is a DC Comics character who was introduced as a young, brown-haired bespectacled British boy unaware of his magical potential…in 1990. He was created by Neil Gaiman and John Horton. It should be noted that Neil Gaiman said that similarities between the characters is most likely...

raises hand I don’t know the Honorverse at all. OTOH, if you’re a fan of sci-fi, fantasy & horror, you’d be aware that some works were inspired by the same things, or actually were created as an homage or reply to older ones, meaning similarities WILL exist. I remember that a lot of people...

OTOH, it makes it easy to cast, especially for a network like The CW.

How about mining some Larry Niven Known Space stuff? Between the Man-Kzin Wars, Puppeteers, Ringworld and Gil “The ARM” Hamilton, there’s lots of different stories that could be retold or created.

Mod Note: @Malmuria Surprisingly, Ernie’s unfortunate choice to get involved on the wrong side of this mess was previously noted somewhere else in this 1100pg thread. A few times. As I recall, someone even mentioned these SFNG passages explicitly. Bringing this- and ONLY this- stain up as...

I envy you in your skills and (probable) restraint! The only times I ever tried working with leather, I got too enamored with embossing it, so my results were always a chaotic mess. Oddly, I never had that kind of problem with any other art or craft I’ve applied my mind to.

Coming full circle: Yep, Bond’s creator was a small part of this, so probably well understood the need for every detail on the corpse to be believable.

I’m into fashion, so I know the names and which ones are ostensibly worth the asking price. But I also have a strong practical side that would prevent me from buying the best of the best, even if I had the money. I recently watched videos of a cobbler do destructive tests breaking down pairs...

“Oi! Blofeld! Howzit goin’, my son?”

I think that’s a valid concern. Bond’s style isn’t superfluous, he’s stylish for a reason. Bond isn’t tasked with taking down ordinary organized crime families or terrorist organizations. He’s infiltrating nefarious secret societies, megacorps and black ops groups with mind boggling resources...

Nice!😂 I was just thinking…Bezos’ Bond inhabiting a world in which 007’s agency has been co-opted by a company analogous to Amazon, with an owner who looks suspiciously like Bezos.* His mission? Taking down rival companies like “T-Moo”, “Ali Bubba” and “Wishes”. * with the movie...

There was a time when I’d have been all over a movie like that. Now? Not so much. Reminds me too much of real life.☹️

Mod Note: Have a sense of decorum.

Trüe Wørdz. But… There’s LOTS of good music in the franchise- enough that I’ve bought most of the soundtracks and the 30th anniversary collection. Hell- some of the tracks that weren’t used were at least as good as those that were.

Mod Note: Lets cool it with accusations like this.

Pantera was one of those bands I had a love hate relationship with- mostly because of Anselmo’s white power antics & certain lyrics. I had soooo many chances to see them- what with them being Dallas locals- but each time I considered it, Phil would do/say something really stupid. And it’s such...

I think that’s a way to maintain brand identity. You can’t simply buy a Squier or Epi body and swap out some parts to DIY yourself a Fender or Gibby.

BIIIIG Reverend fan, but can’t argue with G&L. In fact, I almost bought a G&L instead of my first Reverend…and still haven’t gotten one. But I absolutely want to own one of their Z-Coil equipped guitars if nothing else. I put every one I find on Reverb on my Watched list.

I really couldn’t say which were better, the big shows or the small ones. I had a lot of luck with both.

That’s one of the biggest reasons why I really appreciated Perry Farrell’s creation of Lollapalooza in the first place. He got fans from various musical tribes to hang out and vibe together. Lollapalooza attendees were virtually guaranteed to hear music they hadn’t before. …which explains why...
