The reason I dislike the sequels has nothing to do with a lack of philosophical strength, or anything such. They simply lacked what made the original such an enjoyable movie. I can remember seeing the Matrix for the first time when it came out. I believe it as the first weekend, and my D&D...

Funny, I was thinking that this was awfully like how the Mummy 2 was much worse than the original. This, however, was far worse than Mummy 2. buzzard

Ok, there is no question that humans as batteries is out and out stupid, but in general the movie is well done. buzzard

While I may well be about as much of a Highlander fanatic as there is (seen it several hundred times, though I'm not sure I still have it memorized), I will easily admit that as a movie it in no way compares quality wise with The Matrix. As such, the drop off from The Matrix to its sequels is...

I fail to see why you folks are discussing things as if there was more than one movie. There wasn't right? (having successfully purged two sequels from my mind thereby sparing a great movie a horrible followup) buzzard

Actually it is a son in the first movie, they just have him dressed a bit funny (not to mention Dad waving flowers and him and all). buzzard

I am surprised I am the only one here to list Goodfellas. Another good one is Bank Shot. Though as a minor detail, it was Faye Dunaway who was in Bonnie and Clyde. The movie is a bit old for Cybill, her being only 17 when it came out. buzzard

Yes, much to my detriment I had watched the DVD of the 98 film the night before, and having that fresh in memory was simply a brutally painful contrast. Everything was worlds better in the original. I imagine Anothony Hopkins was quite glad his character croaked in the precious one. buzzard

now as for why Ok fair enough, I imagine some explanation of the horror is necessary. Ok, I'll spoiler the lot of it. Much of the dialog was simply puerile and the plot was clearly idiotic. The action was generally stupidly over the top. The acting was all over the place. Some was OK, but...

I didn't see any mention of this so far, and I imagine it is only a public service to spare people the waste of spending money on this piece of garbage. I am very fond of The Mask of Zorro and expected that with the same actors and director, this should have been at least a fair movie. I was...

Honestly I played it and was not overly impressed. I found it to be pretty forgettable. buzzard

While I voted for the first option it isn't quite what I actually think. When I play I find maping to be painfuly tedious and have no desire to inflict it anyone else when I DM. As I see it, the PCs can map, while the players don't have to. I don't make the players roleplay other tediums...

Somehow it brings a shudder when I think of desparately digging through a case full of Blatz, Schlitz and PBR in search of a Guiness or Sam Adams. buzzard

This is a very good question because it comes down to something that peeves me in my local gaming community. We have a few local cons per year, and there is a rating system employed to determine the best judges. I've been known to rate well in this myself, though I honetly don't much care how I...

So the person who is a good roleplayer who builds an anti-social combat monster gets the best of both worlds in your game? He not only dominates the battlefield, but can triumph in the social interactions in spite of his lack of dedicated skill points? While I know I enjoy playing at a table...

Yeah, but if 3 out of the 4 total playing bards get it right, that's batting .750! buzzard

But the real question is whether it is worse than this: http://keithschofield.com/pi/std.html buzzard

It is a ceramic, by the very nature of that it must be brittle. Now you have to have a perspective what brittle actually means. It means you don't get much yielding before failure. The stuff is undoubtedly quite hard and likely takes a beating to get a crack started, but cracks will go once...

I hate to rain on parades, but this is no more transparent aluminum than glass is transparent silicon. It's a ceramic. It is likely used in a composite structure, but is still probably pretty brittle. It is absolutely not a metal. Though considering the properties of actual aluminum, this is the...

This will of course use CoC rules so you can have SAN checks right? buzzard
