    For my money, that man did ONE good movie- Legend- and so far, everyone has had the sense to leave it alone.

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    THAT’S closer! Arguably, you can say a lot of things to the sickened wolf as long as you don’t actually say “wolf” out loud. “AWWW, poor pupper!”

    That’s not anything like The Forest Oracle! It’s too direct. The terminology is accurate and cogent. There’s nothing about it that makes you shake your head and go, “What did I just read?”

    One of my friends is going to be 55-56 this year- a couple years younger than I. When we were in college, the entirety of his music collection was Led Zeppelin’s discography plus some Doors, Who, and a few other classic rock bands. I must confess I was stunned when I went to his apartment one...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    A buddy of mine got to see them perform earlier this year. Said they put on a hell of a show. Should’ve been bigger.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Re: retropizza I prefer thick crust over thin. And there were places we ate in the 70s where the crust was more than 1” thick. And the sauce and seasonings would soak into that crust… I miss those. Doesn’t stop me from eating other pizzas, though.

    I can’t say I like modern music more than older stuff…or vice versa. They’re different, for the most part. Even in genres I’m really big on, there’s almost always a difference between a style’s pioneers and those inspired by them. The history of Heavy Metal is a great example of that. As for...

    WAR OF THE WORLDS Trailer

    I’ve seen some bad movies. On purpose, even. The Creeping Terror. The Room. Funny Games (both versions). This may be in the running to join them.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I’m in a different housing situation. I’m 57, and live with my parents. It helps me take care of them, and the house is plenty big. The thing is, Dad was an Army MD, so we moved around quite a bit. And we’ve been in this house since 1998. It’s the longest ANY of us have lived in ANY house-...

    It was 1 song, and it wasn’t bad (lyrically), per se. But it wasn’t good compared to the stuff Rush were usually putting out, and rap/rock fusion was already being done better by a lot of other performers.

    My first thought was Rush’s dipping their toes in rap.🫤 But if you look VERY closely, you’ll also find a lot of bands & musicians who had to take time to really find their characteristic style. Rush is also an example of this. See also Killing Joke, Trent Reznor, Radiohead, and more. Even...

    Literally just crossed my path this AM: The person posting it was musing about Live’s Throwing Copper (their 3rd album). It wasn’t like their first two albums. It wasn’t like what followed. But it was chock full of hits & went platinum.

    WAR OF THE WORLDS Trailer

    The choice to have Ice Cube sitting in front of his computer for a big enough chunk of the movie for it to be his predominant visual portrayal in the trailer has been bugging me since I first saw it. It reminded me of something, but I couldn’t quite recall it. Until today:

    Absolutely, and for many of the reasons Morrus cited explicitly. FWIW, I know I have different opinions about sequels & reboots of certain IP than those outside of my age group, and even within my circle of peers if they were more or less into a given property than I was. For example, I have...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Mod Note: The Admiral has already been in here asking certain people- without naming- to stop arguing over who is being more offensive. In RED text, even. Apparently, you don’t think you were one of the people he was addressing. TBH, I don’t know either. 🤷🏾 But even if you weren’t, it...
