    Ravenloft anyone?

    The horde of newly created rodent vampire spawn I'm guessing. ;)

    Which is your favorite version of "King Kong"?

    Everyone stone the freak who picked the 76 version!!! Oh wait, that would be me. I was 5, it left an impression. I haven't seen the new one, and I had an irrational dislike for b&w films as a child. The original is on the way via Netflix and hitting the theater for the new one later tonight...

    Merry F'n Christmas.

    Truer words have never been spoken. :D

    Poll: Best superhero flick?

    Note that I specifically did not include "traditional" in my original statement. I was primarily responding to your statement ..."I neither consider it a superhero movie"... While I don't have a problem with folks considering it to be non-traditional, to claim that it isn't a superhero movie at...

    No argument there! Well to be honest it's mostly "self serving" these days. I was working as a contractor this time around.

    Energy Weapons VS Ballistic Weapons

    To some extent the non-lethality is merely by choice. The microwave based weapons would be very easy to convert to lethal versions, but just imagine the worldwide protests if they did so. Heck just imagine what they could do with the microwave output from the AN/SPY-1 radar on Aegis class...

    Whatever happened to Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    ...and strangely enough all three authors are from the UK.

    Poll: Best superhero flick?

    In order: Unbreakable The Incredibles Superman Batman Begins Spidey 1 & 2 + X1 & 2 are right there too Personally I find it mind boggling that some don't consider Unbreakable a superhero movie. By what definition exactly would it be excluded? Personally I feel it's arguably the "truest"...

    The Red Badge of Courage - Audie Murphy as Henry...'Nuff said The Winter War (Talvisota) - A Finnish film about the 1939 Russo-Finnish War. This is what Saving Private Ryan wanted to be. Schindler's List - A reminder that sometimes war really is necessary Tora! Tora! Tora! - The movie that...

    Rate Narnia (spoiler-free thread)

    I enjoyed it quite a bit, but it doesn't beat out Serenity or Batman Begins (and probably ties Hitchhiker's Guide) for me.

    Energy Weapons VS Ballistic Weapons

    I'm a bit surprised that no one has mentioned that directed energy weapons are currently being fielded & used in combat by various forces around the world. Granted thus far their primary use has been as "non-lethal" weapons/deterrents, but they have already been used successfully on the...

    Energy Weapons VS Ballistic Weapons

    LOL WR & I with near identical posts. :D A descendent of Ned Kelly no doubt. ;) Personally I feel a hit from just about any round is survivable...depending upon location. I was on guard duty at Camp 15 in Saudi when the Seabea took a .50 to the upper shoulder from a negligent discharge...

    Rate Narnia (spoiler-free thread)

    The film wasn't spectacular...but it was very, very solid. Gave it an 8. Actually it was quite an elegant way of getting the message across.

    And the College Football season begins!!!

    Oh please, maybe if USC wanted more respect they should have beaten a Washington St team that the Bucks dismantled. USC "playing the beat at the end of the year" bandwagon is definitely a case of rewriting history. No one was saying that before the Fiesta Bowl, they were too caught up in how the...

    Energy Weapons VS Ballistic Weapons

    *shrug* I have personally pulled magazine festooned load bearing gear off of an enemy combatant that had stopped no less than three M855 rounds....although he did suffer some lacerations caused by spalling. Anecdotal? Certainly. But I'm pretty confident it's far more relevant that "fun"...
