Back in college I worked as a bus boy/dishwasher/kitchen assistant in a local chain restaurant. The stove was gas, and in order to light it you'd turn the gas on, step back fifteen feet, light a match and throw it at the stove. Coincidentally, this also seems to be the same sequence of gestures...

Jack keeps Jack's thoughts in Jack's head, where they can't scare anyone but Jack... Not today, but setting myself on fire is looking good for tomorrow... :p Well, you didn't suffer any permanent damage, so whatever doesn't kill you makes for a cool war story... It's all fun and games...

I'm currently chipping out a concrete wall to fix a leak in a pipe - I can see the hammer and chisel in my hands, but it feels like I'm banging my head against it over and over again. 🤬

The book series by David Weber follows the military and political career of a woman named Honor Harrington (along with her empathic sentient six-legged treecat). Many elements of the setting parallel events in early-19th-century Europe: the main character is very clearly and intentionally...

But also risks it being misinterpreted as a Starship Troopers wanna-be for those that aren't familiar with the books...

1983 3-D films Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone Treasure of the Four Crowns (musical score by Ennio Morricone!) Fun fact, despite being only 11 years old, I convinced my parents to let me see all three of these in the theatre, red-and-blue...

The only problem with an Honorverse series is the anti-aging tech - canonically, most of the junior crew members should look like they just graduated from high school, and the middle-aged folks look like they're in their twenties. It's hard to sell it as military sci-fi when all the "grizzled"...

I'm not sure I remember it well enough to rank my favorites, but being a Rocky Horror fan and having met Pat Quinn, I have to say she's probably my favorite just because of that, lol.

Someday I'm going to run an adventure where the party runs into a cute little girl just randomly hanging out in the dungeon - and I'll totally mess with their heads by having the kid NOT be some disguised BBEG... She'll just have gotten lost and wandered into the dungeon, but she's so damn cute...

Opinions are like... just your opinion, man...

I'd like a two or three season adaption of Timur Bekmambetov's Nightwatch book series - they did two low-budget Russian films, but it's a four-book series and probably could easily go four seasons if they chose to do the British-style ten-episode seasons... Supernatural cops caught up in a...

It's Snarf's world, and he just makes us live in it... :p

I'm personally down for pushing for stop-motion animation historical pieces - I'd love to see the Sharpe's Rifles movies redone in Celebrity Death Match style. :p

Also, colder climates result in slower spoilage of food materials, resulting in less need for one of the original purposes of spices...

My standard answer to this sort of thing is a The Black Company series...

No, I'm Mad... I don't know who the hell the rest of you are, or how you got into my brain... Sometimes Jack wishes that fewer of the really useful skills he's acquired were learned out of necessity... Jack also sometimes wishes he didn't have the kind of life that required him to replace...

I liked the guy that did the Kingsmen films, but I don't think he quite has the slightly rough edge that Bond should have.

Eh, super martial artists with funky swords are kinda everywhere, but bears with machine guns.... I think I would have been pissed off if the first Russian superhero movie didn't have a bear with a machine gun. (I just like saying "bear with a machine gun"...) :p And that was one of the things...

Timur Bekmambetov's Nightwatch and Daywatch, probably followed by Sarik Andreasayan's Guardians... Aside from the fact that the books the first two are based on were really entertaining, the movies have a very interesting visual flavor to them - they're very much Russian supernatural cop...
