    Revisiting Bond - What are the five best (and worst) 007 films?

    Best 5 are pretty obvious: From Russia with Love (classic 60s espionage), Goldfinger (hyped but still great), Moon Raker (I don't care if he is in space, it is a great story and works extremely well), For Your Eyes Only (just about perfect), and Living Daylights (again, just about perfect). 5...

    Best superhero movies?

    Someone actually liked man of steel? Really? And Rocketeer? And Captain America? (The last two had potential, but were ruined by a director who doesn't know how to do a comic-book movie aside from setting the period) I'd have to go with the first 2 X-men movies, and Blade. DC makes better...

    Is Dr. Who Kid-Friendly? [possible spoilers]

    Doctor Who when it was originally started was a "Saturday Tea-Time" show. Translation: meant for the whole family. Over time it changed and matured. And changed more. And Matured more. Since the current producer took over, it has devolved down to a mostly kids show. It was always family "safe"...

    Yet another demented rant by yours truly: Fireworks

    Yes they are. And I like them. But not something that should be set off without notice in a quiet residential area where they can endanger lives and property.

    Lego Batman 3

    Some people are complaining that it's glitched and buggy. I don't know why--I've played all the way through story mode and most of the way through free-play with only a single minor hiccup caused by my own error. The game itself? Not as good as Lego Batman 2. Technically, it incorporated a lot...

    Where to Buy Custom Cover Image for Novel?

    Or you could try asking an artist for help. There are some that will work for credit, or on spec, so that you pay them either percentage or a flat fee based on when you have a profit.

    All the superhero movies!

    Well, one key to keeping the movies from sucking is to keep Kurtzman and Orci out of the projects: they are a pair of hacks who like to void their bowels on other people's childhood delights, and serve it up to them with a spoon saying "this is yummy: eat it up." (Transformers, JJA Trek...

    What's your favourite movie theme?

    So many good ones... Enterprise leaves Drydock from the Motionless Picture... Imperial March from Empire Strikes back Battle Beyond the Stars Trek 2 & 6... For Your Eyes Only... But for favorite, I have to go to Lionheart by Jerry Goldsmith You think Danny Elfman cranks out themes? Take a look...

    Yet another demented rant by yours truly: Fireworks

    Are people frickin' nuts? Someone 1/2 block away set off a box of fireworks. Just now. Not the cute little "Safe&sane" stuff, but sky rockets that explode in air with loud thumps. It was one thing after the Giants won the world series: at least the people setting off fireworks had a reason. Not...

    Party’s Level.

    And fortunately, unlike 1st and 2nd Ed, all classes have the same advancement table.

    Stealth Rules Check

    Stealth rules seem to have been changed a number of times. Sometimes you need partial cover/concealment. Sometimes you need full. Seems to get murky. So, if all it takes is "concealment", could a Warlock use shadow-walk to gain concealment, and thereby get to roll stealth by "Hiding in his/her...

    Internet Trolls Are Horrible People

    Um, doesn't peer review also include correcting the information? What span do those papers cover? How many articles are published? what proportion does that represent? I'll throw that open to anyone.

    New cell phone advice

    Had a droid. Never found a way to uninstall any of the pre-programmed apps. Foist-ware. Part of what I hated about the "smart" phone system.

    Character Builder Programing question

    Now for the sillier question. One of my gamer group was jealous, and wants to know if there's a mac-version of the updated off-line builder. Can anyone field that for me?

    Ten Words the Simpsons TV Show Invented

    How about "men-applause" "'Men Applause'? I'm not going to say that."

    When are you supposed to tip (in America)?

    I spent 8 months working at such a job. I did it for fun. There was a tip jar, and we had to pool tips. Some people had to use their tip money in order to pay bus fair. No tips = walk home. I usually gave them a ride if they wanted one. Yes, US tip system is weird. Employees are treated like...

    What's the deal with The Blacklist

    Yet another show where drama trumps brains, and plausibility goes out the window. David Spader plays the magic Elf who knows special stuff the FBI doesn't, and has hand-picked with FBI officer will be dealing with him. Check all the tropes. Spader is not convincing as someone once groomed to be...

    Character Builder Programing question

    Right-click on the .exe file and click on "run as administrator", yet another safety "feature" that does more to impair productivity than it does to safeguard computer systems. By an odd quirk, somewhere along the line I got my old copy of Macromedia DreamWeaver MX to work. (yes, macromedia...
