Absolutely loved the movie. It might rank as high as The Incredibles with me, in many respects.

The Village. The entire plot hinges on such an insane level of suspension of disbelief that I cannot stand it.

The whole idea of transporting the human race from a dying Earth to another planet is an amazing one. Perhaps someday, someone will actually make a movie based around that concept.

Exactly. I get tired of the whole 'we saw something vaguely similar twenty years ago therefor anything that resembles it gets a 'meh'' attitude I see among a number of people. It looks like an interesting take on it, and the robot himself looks pretty fabulous.

"The same Somebody (a person, an organization) done us wrong, and we are going to mess them up. Permanently." "Good King Whitebred? Bah! He destroyed our family's legacy in his quest of the throne and now he's going to pay!" "Our Cult once ruled these lands... and it will do so again!" "Those...

The setting is a fantasy version of the Danube River Valley, and it's a conflict between a human culture influenced by elves, and one by dwarves. The elf-influenced area is a magocracy: if you have The Gift, you are a member of the aristocracy. Among the Gifted, some are more equal than others...

I finished up Bastion by Mercedes Lackey, and started Bowl of Heaven by Larry Niven and Gregory Benford

Made perfect sense to me, but what I was worried about was the film was going to be 90% 'whining about leaving his kids' and 10% 'we're exploring new worlds'. Hopefully from what I've seen it'll be at least 50/50 but I'm waiting for some reviews that address that exact ratio.

I envisioned it being a half-formed face on the back of his own head, or a 'hump' that was actually the quasi-melted-looking baby-sized thing attached to his back. One concept I got to use so little that I consider it 'un-used' was formed by a buddy of mine. We were going to be playing in a...

Always wanted to do an evil spellcaster who'd transformed his cojoined undead twin into his familiar. Perhaps amazingly I've never played the nigh-sterotypical kleptomaniac halfling rogue.

I can take it or leave it. I liked the original Realms set and loved reading the various details that Greenwood wrote about in the Dragon. After TSR felt the need to make huge wholesale changes in a setting just to 'explain' the changes in 2E, I mostly stopped paying attention to it. I do...

I'm now kind of wondering if the larger S.T.A.R Labs organization even knows these people are still camping in the old facility. They probably think they are conducting an investigation into what went wrong, hoping that if Wells can remain out of the public view long enough people will forget...

Without knowing the exact timeline the movie will use, I'm guessing that the government needs a scapegoat to explain why suddenly they can't provide basic services. So, as administrations do, they look to re-write history to make themselves look better. The 'excess and wastefullness' of previous...

Bah, another gutless no-costumes no-powers show greenlit just because Gotham didn't immediately sink beneath the waves.

Chaosium. Their mega-adventure for Call of Cthulhu 'At Your Door' is set in a fictional city that's a spiritual cross between LA and San Francisco. As such, it has a couple of gay characters (a lawyer and his young roommate, and a couple of young Wiccans), and it simply presents them as they are...

Take a look at the 'Carrion Crown' adventure path for Pathfinder. Each module features a classic horror creature or theme: ghosts/zombies, Frankenstein's Monster, Werewolves, Cthulhian monstrosities, vampires, etc. Obviously, you want the classic Universal monster films. I'd recommend...

Good news. Full season order, and the pilot just hit the most-watched CW showing, ever, something previously held by Arrow. I hope it continues to do as well.

I was looking at backing this, but the subscription model killed it for me. I might come in later if the promised editing functions and such come on line. For me to get on board, the program would have to allow me to do everything Campaign Cartographer can do PLUS all the interesting stuff about...

On the same marquee: Rita Farr, who was an actress before she became Elasti-Girl of the Doom Patrol.

He is; they've also cast Martin Stein as well, for the other half of Firestorm. I do hope that he turns out a hero instead of someone driven mad by being turned into energy - which of course is still a perfectly valid reaction to that, one would think :)
