    New Highlander (TV) Movie

    Must have ended up about 2 minutes long. buzzard

    New Highlander (TV) Movie

    I'll agree with the consensus that it was simply awful. I simply cannot think of any redeeming aspects of the movie whatsoever. I can still remember when you get to the "resolution" and there were a whole pile of irrelevant flashbacks that looked more like a teaser trailer than anything else...

    Energy Immunity is the DEVIL!

    Ok, you can throw nigh(? modern long arms all well past 2000 fps, and speed of sound is around 1100) supersonic pieces of lead at an M1 tank all day. I'm pretty sure the "destroy it, period" ain't gonna fly. buzzard

    Dresden Files done?

    Yes, that is certainly true. A damned shame, but yes if nobody watches something, it doesn't matter if it is good or not. buzzard

    Dresden Files done?

    Spot on. Dresden Files was one of the best shows on Sci Fi (though a pearl among swine isn't the greatest compliment). Killing it really riled me. buzzard

    What is your favorite beer?

    I'm quite fond of ESBs. My favorite used to be Stoudt's Scarlet Lady ESB. However since I've moved out west I can't get it anymore. Fuller's ESB isn't bad, and Red Hook ESB is reasonably good. I bought a kegerator a couple of months back, which rather restricts my beer selection though...

    Do you like buffets?

    I've been to good buffets and bad buffets. This is no different from restaurants in general. I have a good Chinese buffet near my house so I go there (and they do Mongolian BBQ, woo hoo). Other buffets I've tried I avoid. One place where I really love buffets is Las Vegas. There are some...

    Living Greyhawk CANCELLED in 2008 - rpga report

    Well I gave up on LG last year when I got sick of the meat grinder cycle. Once my metaregion decided it has to be deadlier than the rest, I felt it was time to run along. It's not like I'd seen a whole lot to endear me to LG for a while as it was. Now I'm not much of a fan of the realms, but...

    Lobster Fascination*

    While I like lobster, I agree, crab is king. I can sit and eat snow crab at an all you can eat joint till well past stuffed. I'm also quite fond of the classic Maryland crab boil. Of course there's the fact that I'm stuck in Colorado, hmm. Ahh well, it doesn't matter. We have casinos with all...

    Every time I see IMO or IMHO, I will drown one of these kittens

    I'd have dropped one of the IMO cluster bombs to take out the kittens, but that appears to be taken care of already. buzzard

    Flash Gordon

    Some Sooilers (though as rotten as this was, who would care?). It was dreck. The characters were just plain lame. I mean Flash Gorden was dumb as a box of rocks. While I don't expect him to be a rocket scientist, the "Juts smile at them and we'll be OK" stuff was just too much. Also spilling the...

    [The Le] comics-to-film reviews

    I'm dissapointed in you Klaus. I thought your comics-fu was stronger than this. Scott didn't sacrifice the love of his life, she killed herself. Scott just watched. And you have the new X Men a bit off (at least at the start). The initial new X Men were Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Wolverine...

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    I'm not gainsaying your comment. I was more pointing out that she didn't think through the consequences of what she wrote. buzzard

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    Here is where we get to the point of the reader doing more analysis than the author. buzzard

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    Of course this begs a question of how you do it. All we've seen is how to drive them away. I certainly hope there's a way to wipe the damned things out. buzzard

    Burn Notice

    After reading about this show here I sent my DVR out to fetch episodes. You folks are right, this is a fine piece of TV programming. I like little enough TV that to find a gem is a nice surprise. buzzard

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    I finished the book yesterday morning. It was a quite quick read. I enjoyed it, though the camping stuff was overly drug out for my taste. As others have mentioned, this will likely help with a movie adaptation since that stuff can be chopped right off to no loss. One plot gripe which I...

    Potterdammerung: Prepared?

    While I did pre-order it and all that good stuff, I also screwed up. I forgot to change my Amazon shipping address from work to home. I generally get packages at work since I don't like them left on my stoop. Since nobody will be here to receive the package on Saturday, I wait till Monday. I...

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince point of discussion (Spoilers)

    No, sorry. Your definition of link is so ambiguous as to be applicable to anyone. There is a direct and powerful link between Harry and Voldemort and that is what the prophecy was talking about. There is nothing even close for Neville. He's one of many who suffered from the depredations of...

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince point of discussion (Spoilers)

    In Half Blood Prince Dumbledore states pretty clearly that the Prophecy is about Harry because of the actions of Voldemort. It has been chosen. Had things been done a different way, yes, Neville would have been the chosen one, but he wasn't. The prophesy addresses such issues as a link between...
