Have you seen Speed Racer yet, or are you basing your judgment on box office returns? If you have seen it, in what manner did you not find it to be a quality film?

I mentioned it, sort of, back on page one and agree. The nearest thing I can figure is that it was just some kind of anomaly. I recall during Romana's regeneration that she was able to go through several different "faces" before finally settling on the face of Princess Astra, so perhaps this is...

The first Matrix was certainly something of a non-recurring phenomenon in terms of box office compared to the latter two, but to put that all off on the Wachowski brothers is really rather silly, IMO (note that's just my opinion- given the way Hollywood runs, that is of course where the buck is...

Cosa?

It's a shame this movie hasn't been doing well at the box office. I just got done seeing it and thought it was absolutely amazing. I may have even liked it better than Iron Man, although it's a very close thing. It certainly was one of the best cartoon movies I've ever seen. Visually, it's just...

As a couple of other posters mentioned, Frank Mentzer's Immortals Set for BECMI had an endgame way back in 1986. (All you had to do was reach level 30ish, become Immortal, rise to the rank of Hierarch, become mortal again, and do the whole thing a second time. Piece of cake. ;))

One thing to bear in mind is that Pathfinder is intended to fill the role of a PHB when the 3.5 PHB goes out of print, using the SRD as a basis for the rules. Most of the other supplements for 3.5 (like the PHBII, with the Beguiler) are not part of the SRD, and so really aren't the focus of any...

I assume it's because a) they now know that pushing the button was done in order to prevent a catastrophic buildup of electromagnetic energies that are seemingly caused by geothermal activities, and b) Locke's failure to keep pushing the button led to those energies exploding and taking the...

One of many creators, and one of several who has gone on the record to relate that there were changes that he wanted to implement in 3.0 that got shot down due to editorial and/or fanbase fiat (some of which were changes that got implemented in 3.5, some of which not.) Is that book much...

I just read this in my email, and wanted to chime in here on the boards with a "Woohoo!!" [EDIT- According to Jason Bulmahn on the Paizo boards, it looks like some of Monte's recent BoEM and its sequels rules will be incorporated into Pathfinder.]

This episode had some really great moments, and a lot of contrived conceits that made it tough for me to really appreciate it as much as I would have otherwise. For one thing, the whole "Jenny" conception was a bit much to swallow. Not only is the Doctor the only one processed (despite everyone...

My understanding of the Spirit (not all that familiar with the character, so apologies if I'm wrong) is that he went into suspended animation and was later revived. Not really "coming back from the dead" except perhaps in a figurative sense.

Loves me the Wrecking Crew, but for them to be the main "villain" of the piece, I think you'd have to have really play up Thunderball as the driving force- possibly a variation of their origin story, where they're looking for the Gamma Bomb TBall built so that they can hold cities for ransom...

That's what I've heard, actually. That take on Thor is actually one of few interesting things I've read about Ultimates. From what I understand, the end of vol. 2 pretty definitively put this to rest, but I agree that it would be a cool angle to take with the character as opposed to the...

Not that familiar with the Ultimates, myself. I stopped reading anything Ultimate fairly early on, when I grew to dislike Bendis' Spider-Man and couldn't stand Millar's X-Men (his characters had no voices- they were, to my reading, all interchangeable ciphers.)

That's true. Can't believe I'd forgotten Crossbones (though, like you said, he's really a henchman and not a mastermind.) Yeah, the more I think of it, the more I think it could work. Modify their history somewhat, so that Cap actually kills Heinrich during WWII (maybe Heinrich dies and sets...

Hm. Not sure he was as much of an unknown as that. I was first familiar with him from American Psycho, but he'd definitely been on the radar for a long time- and the female populace, at least, I think was quite familiar with him. Christian Bale has been a huge heartthrob for ages now.

To be honest, I'm not certain he'd be the best choice either, but as far as iconic Captain America villains go, his Rogues Gallery isn't exactly the most interesting or colorful. He's always been so closely tied to the Avengers that it's kind of hard to find someone to match him up against on...

At his companion's rash act, Vanden springs forward to the half-orc's side, both to brace himself against any attackers on the opposite side of the door as well as to support Garn should he be too injured to stand. I take it Vanden didn't get hit by the trap? Also, what is on the far side of...

Which also had both Kevin Spacey (an Oscar winner) as well as a proven track record of successes (previous Superman films- IV notwithstanding) and a director who had a lot of clout, especially after X-Men. It also took many, many years and many, many rewrites before it ever saw the big screen...
