    Wall-E The rest look like rentals at best.

    Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [spoilers]

    I agree with what you said RangerWickett, this movie was extremely sloppy. To be brief, I give it a generous 4 out of 10. But there's really no rewatchability value for this film. Saw it yesterday afternoon. Although I felt burned by Lucas with the awful Star Wars prequels, I thought Spielberg...

    Mike Myers in "The Love Guru"

    I don't know, was looking forward to this, but when I saw that trailer at the theater it just felt really... stale.

    D&D on 30 Rock

    Caught that too, funny stuff, one of the best shows on TV right now.

    Iron Man

    Saw it yesterday afternoon. I wasn't sure what to expect exactly with Favreau directing, and Downey as the lead, but I was more than pleasantly surprised, it was awesome! I'm not sure where it ranks exactly among superhero movies yet, but it's definitely a top contender. It's a "must see" at...

    People using Gary's avatar

    As someone who had a part in the avatar that Gary Gygax used, I have to say that it bothers me a little also. There was a discussion about something to help people identify Gary, and he did not want to use a photo so I cut out the Futurama pic, and he liked it. Someone else edited it slightly...

    DragonLance the DVD... Rated NC17?

    I don't want to know what THAT is, but I can tell you that like Auld Grump, any interest I had in seeing this is now gone. The 2d-3d is an incredibly stupid choice, and... wow it just looks awful!

    Fear of Girls 2

    Funny stuff, thanks for posting it. It was good to see Doug Douglason "Elite Game Master" again, but overall I think I preferred the original.

    Could use your help

    If you and your future fiance are open to such things, you may want to look into an alternative like Moissanite which has most of the same properties as a diamond. About the stone and it's history. http://www.moissanite.com/heritage.cfm (It's only been found naturally in space! :) but the...

    July - what are you reading?

    Just started reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell also. (Hardcover was on sale for $7 at Barnes & Noble.)

    Don't open that door!

    So what is behind those doors? http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/14/nyregion/14mystery.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1184472751-hdmHU0biDWr+PSY+r3SWjg (Inspired by those old threads that collected real world news to inspire gaming ideas. Can't find the threads or remember who used to...

    Grindhouse

    Saw this last night with the girlfriend and we both enjoyed it. Planet Terror was a great spoof of all those cheesy zombie horror movies I remember from childhood, dialed to 11. Death Proof was very Tarantino'ish, which may be good or bad depending on your tastes. I liked it, but the slow...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo releases new Estes Greyhawk novel

    I'll second that. :) I was also around 8 at the time they came out in '82, and have fond memories of those books as well. Dungeons of Dread and Return to Brookmere were my personal favorites.

    Nintendo Wii new shipment when?

    They're near impossible to find. The shipments are starting to come during the week now. Last Wednesday and Thursday the Target near us got some, but it's still only small amounts and you would have had to be lucky and be there when the truck drops them off. They are selling out in minutes...

    DVD Prices (For Television)

    No one is saying that they should "deny all royalties", that's silly. We're saying they're over-priced. They've already been paid what they agreed to for the work that was done at the time. Now that there's a new found market for the same old product, no further work is generally required, it's...

    DVD Prices (For Television)

    No, it is crazy. The shows have already paid for themselves many times over through the initial airing and syndication in most cases.

    Survivor: Cook Islands

    I was thinking about this also, and wondered if they will give the audience a vote? This season definitely has become more interesting with the mutiny and the flip of Jonathan. His flipping and the resulting shock of Adam, Parvati, and Candice was one of the best moments in years. (Closely...

    LOST: Season 3 Episode 3 ***SPOILERS***

    That was dissappointing. :( The writing just felt off, and not as good as I've come to expect. Why were the beach characters all hanging around like there was nothing going on? All the "leaders" are missing, there was a crazy explosion... and nobody went looking for any of them? Charlie...
