OK, but not as good as the last couple had been.

That is because Citizen Cane is actually a very boring movie, for all the praise and innovations it presented at the time.

Funny thing about opinions: they are subjective. I started watching the movie for entertainment. I didn't find it. I'm guessing HS felt the same, based on his previous posting history. You seem to have found some enjoyment from the movie. We didn't. You assert merits that we didn't find. Whether...

Sounds to me more like MURDER and KILLING are central themes, and Family is a side footnote or easter egg. And just for the record: Michael Bay, Kurtzman, and Orci should all be sodomized with chainsaws. If it was relevant material, it should have been in the first movie. It wasn't.

Good side? What good side? Were we shown a good side? I don't remember any good side. I just remember a spoiled brat playboy. One who enjoyed all the benefits, then whined like a little Hctib when the consequences of his actions came back on him. Family is important? Maybe the movie just...

OI! Let's keep it civil before the mods DO step in.

So all the myth stuff is in the book(s). Nothing in the movie. Honor? {blink blink} These are people who live on the pain, suffering, and vice of others. They are vile scum criminals. They inflict suffering. They murder. {political comment omitted} There is NO honor here. There is pride. There...

I would argue the whole mythic thing. Maybe you found it, but is it universal? Don't think so. Let's counter-example: Star Wars. Great movie? Well, for the time, certainly. Holds up pretty well, too. Story was very simplistic, but extremely influential style and cross genre references, and just...

As I've mentioned before, I think the Godfather is a highly over-rated movie. I sat through the first one wondering why I should care about any of these characters. I can only guess that the people who review it positively have a completely different cultural view-point from me. I don't...

I'm sorry, but it still sounds to me like he's giving them more than a week's notice. That is PLENTY of time for them to make their own arrangements without the OP. They have options. Yes, they do. No grounds for them to complain. As for time management: sounds like some thought has gone into...

Yeah, A day. More than a day is enough notice to cancel. Sucks, but some times you just need to do something else for your own health. Sounds like he's giving a week or two. No grounds to bitch.

It's YOUR TIME. Are you bailing at the last minute? Like Game is supposed to start at 4 and you cancel at 3:30? If they have more than a day's notice, they have not excuse to bitch. Now, it does seem like you are in danger or breaking the gaming group. But you know what? One of them can run...

I have no problem with it being a dark fairy tale. But it needs to be a coherent fairy tale! The writing has been almost as slip-shod and illogical as what Sylvester McCoy had to work with. Remember what happened then?

Most important change needed: Stop making Doctor Who a kiddie fairy tale.

Just finished Raid: Redemption. Nice flick. Should have killed everyone in the end though--just for plausibility. After all, the corrupt cops who ordered the raid need to protect themselves with deniability.

Yes, but it took HotFW to redeem the mechanically horrid HoS. (not to mention the poor organization of the book, and the utter failure to provide any follow up support for the new races & classes)

Most of the fluff was great. Even Heroes of Shadow (which had horrible mechanics) was pretty good in Fluff department. I enjoyed Vor Rukoth, Halls of Undermountain, and the various Heroes books for fluff.

Ordered my copy last night. Should be here next week. That's all I'm saying or whatever until after I finish the book.

How many roles has David Tennant played in Who before getting the 10th Doctor? (OK, it was at Big Finish) Gantoris (Dalek Empire 2) Luthor Arcwright (or something like that--main character in a series named for the main character) Feltfebel Kurtz (Colditz) Daft Jamie (Medicinal ____) many many...

Agreed. Minimal to the realm of being nearly pointless.
