    Neuromancer — In Production | Apple TV+

    That would be AWESOME! One of my classic reads. (the cover on the wiki page is so bad, I want to vomit. The original Bantam was far superior.)

    [Apple TV+] Murderbot Adaptation (No spoilers)

    Six episodes in and I must say I'm very impressed. The casting is perfect. When I was reading the books, I was hoping for a screen adaptation. For once, I feel like the screen version is at least as good if not better than the books.

    Need to re-read. Very exciting.

    The Running Man | Official Trailer

    It's like fashion, the second time it comes around it's not for you. It's for the new generation. Edit: Movies are mostly made for the 14-25 year old bracket.

    Bob Worldbuilder debunks the Daggerheart license “scandal”

    He is still peddling DCC in his members only section. If its WotC, all 'scandals' are good to burn them, monetize and push Shadowdark. If it's a game and publisher he really likes, the moral elastic is very long. Double standards.

    [James Bond] The next movie directed by Denis Villeneuve

    I am a Bond fan, but I like when they spice things up a bit like in Sky Fall. I like to be surprised, find out new things about the character.

    [James Bond] The next movie directed by Denis Villeneuve

    Many people agree with you. "Worldwide, this made it the second-highest-grossing James Bond film after Skyfall" I enjoyed most of it, but found the Madeline kidnapping and rescues sequence long and predictable. It made sense within the context of the movie. I've rewatched it a few times and...

    [James Bond] The next movie directed by Denis Villeneuve

    We know that Barbara Broccoli is a very hands on producer. Also, directors often sign contracts before the scripts is finished (or even written sometimes). The failures of Spectre cannot solely attributed to Mendes.

    [James Bond] The next movie directed by Denis Villeneuve

    What I'm saying is that the studio system is very compartmental with unions, guilds and all. It's like a sausage machine. If the director is not also an Executive producer and has the Final Cut, the movie is often out of their hands once the filming is done. Producers and the Chief of editing...

    [James Bond] The next movie directed by Denis Villeneuve

    While I agree about the quality of the movies, Mendes was the director and not involved in the script writing of Skyfall or Spectre. Yes, sometimes the director can affect some enlightened changes during filming, but they cannot rewrite an inferior script.

    [James Bond] The next movie directed by Denis Villeneuve

    Bond was 30ish in the 1962. If you lived 'like Bond' that would make you 93 years old.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Every time I take a peak at ampersand threads, I'm glad I am no longer invested in that game.

    Cool Comics by Enworld Standards...

    Sorry to hear that. I didn't have to wait because I bought them in collected softcovers. Thanks for the heads up about Risen. I'll try to locate them at the comic shop.

    I don't remember watching the Holiday special, but this could be it! LOL

    [James Bond] The next movie directed by Denis Villeneuve

    Sometimes it's about scheduling conflicts. According to Variety, Nolan was considered, but he is too busy with his Homeric Odyssey movie. Cuaron was also considered but removed himself from the short list to work on other projects.

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    Could be. I'm looking it up on the internet. Found nothing yet. I could be misremembering.
