This would be the list I'd cite, too. Not every moment in a movie has to be heartrending, but it strikes me that these scenes were pretty brief and not very central to the story (with the obvious exception of [d], although even that's handled more brusquely than it might've been). (A) is...

And I was just going to write a piece on that, too. :D Congratulations! It's fun to be published. I had a coauthored piece in an education journal recently, but I'm sadly still not doing all that I should toward completing my degree work. Seeing other people publish helps remind me to keep going.

I've no doubt this is a problem, but in my case SFBC unceremoniously dropped me without any advance warning after about 12, 15 years of being a member and without any effort to recruit me back into it. Maybe I'm just off the grid! Oops. Now I'm not ... The model will change, the hobby will...

I think pretty much everything I'd suggest has been mentioned already. I'd like to see a "3.75" PHB and MM to incorporate the changes that have accumulated over the past few years (e.g., swift/immediate actions, changes to wild shape). No major revisions, just refinements that incorporate...

I'll call it a slightly-above-average end to a slightly-above-average series, a movie that I think will probably not age all that well or be much thought about a few years from now, one that fails to reach the bar set by X2, much less Spider-man 2, which for my money has become the gold standard...

As I recall, it's fairly faithful, yes, within the bonds of kid TV. I know they changed the name of the Hellfire Club and changed one of the key characters to one who'd been in the animated series only (but who had some of the same powers). It's of course a bit cheesy being in an indifferently...

Yup.

Put me in the "read some of them" category. I think the last one I almost finished reading cover-to-cover was Magic of Incarnum. I have very good intentions, but I'm also a very slow reader (which probably has something to do with my poor eyesight). My dirty little secret (OK, the one I'm...

There's quite a bit of a range in my current group, from about 12 (?) to early 40s, with at least early twenties, late twenties, and mid/late 30s represented, too.

Interpretation in this sense, though, is beside the point. We're not talking about a general "thick skinnedness." No one's questioning whether someone's got the right to like or not like B5, to love Season 5 or think it was a big letdown, to write B5 fanfic, or just in general to have a...

I really thought the finale was very, very good, even if the conclusion was more or less known/guessed beforehand. In years past, they've really had to add a lot of filler (though mildly entertaining, last year's sketch about Simon being in love with himself is a good example). Granted, the...

Hee. I tend to agree with you, but, IIRC, Randy said something about it being all about "song choice," as he is wont to do, and I think she was reacting to that rather than to just a "not a good song for you" kind of thing. I'll grant you one out of four. :D I'm actually not overfond of...

Your unappealing metaphor aside, I suspect that you may be overestimating how much money's involved here for JMS. Consider, for instance, that (assuming, as I am, that he's being forthright here) he's made no money off of the B5 DVDs, which have netted WB a good deal of money (see next link)...

Plus, I think there's also just a certain valid sensitiveness on JMS's part to how B5 is used, not only because of his obvious deep involvement with it but also because of the difficulties of getting it and keeping it on the air and because of the ways Crusade and the Rangers spin-offs were...

An exceptionally broad question, I think. If we're talking about D&D 3.5, as I suspect that we might be, then ... well, even then, my answer would still probably be "no," at least not inherently. D&D 3.5 is more concrete and wargame-y than previous versions of D&D and probably more wargame-y...

And that's a good thing? :confused: I doubt whether Warner Bros. cares one whit about what is and is not canon in anything but the most dollars-and-cents sort of way. I'm not painting them out to be evil, but their job is, what?, production, distrubtion, and the like, not art for art's sake...

I may be in the minority, but color me "meh" on this one. Maybe it's just that I'm starting to get tired of the "you're just like me" motif that's been lathered on this season, but I found the Margaret/Doctor conversations to be on the tiresome side, and the whole thing to me felt like an...

I'm not really into having another laywer show, but James Woods is almost always really worth watching. I had the exact same thought.

IGN's got a nice list of expected Wii launch titles. To summarize (with publisher/developer info in parentheses): Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Nintendo; also a GameCube title) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Nintendo/Retro Studios) Wii Sports (Nintendo) Red Steel (Ubisoft/Ubisoft Paris)...

Pretty much nails it for me.
