You proved my point, if in no other manner, than personally attacking me and insisting I was wrong (and being passive aggressive) when all objective evidence would show that is not the case. But you're free to believe in--and to rationalize--all your prejudices.

Nothing personal, but the very title of this thread is antagonistic. Not only because I taught in university for years, but just as a reader, this statement inherently says that you believe you know what I think and that what I think is--by your perspective--not just incorrect, but wrong. To...

Certainly driven by quite a bit of ideology at work in both the story within the film and with the authorial voice of the film. Most rpg session are not. Most. But not all... :cool:

fpbp. Subterfuge. Persuasion. Spying. Impressing. Gathering information. Sneaking. Lying. Intimidation. Oratory. Bartering. Bargaining. Fast talking. Blending in to avoid conflict. And many, many other examples... In the case of Battleship Potemkin, public display of solidarity (e.g. the...

Playing in a campaign that's a weird hybrid of Stormbringer and Conan 2d20.

We've had a T2K game going with the same group on and off for a few years now. One of the players is a Warsaw Pact kid from the 80s, another is a Yugoslav who moved to the States in the late 90s. Sometimes alternate history ain't so alternate.

Ikr. Some people find the dealings of such organizations as the NCAA offensive for some reason...

I took Card's perspective to be that by that time, there would be female priests and bishops. But from a conservative Catholic viewpoint, that would constitute a dogmatic error. Back an aeon ago, when I was a non-Catholic in Catholic high school, the token renegade Jesuit teacher had AC Clarke's...

Maybe it's that "I'll-make-meth-and-destroy-other-people's-lives-to-save-myself" thing that makes him a jerk. YMMV.

From my perspective, both of them are real jerks (to use the thread title descriptor and not my preferred choice). Especially the former.

We used the 64 Chevrolet Malibu, its driver (insane from dealings with Mi-Go), and its cargo (left undefined) as a red herring for a Delta Green scenario.

You mean the guys in Duran Duran aren't Nagel paintings!?

Nagel is mentioned in an 80s thread but not Duran Duran...!? :p

De Niro as Louis Cyphre in Angel Heart (or the novel Falling Angel; both novel and film are excellent). Literally the Western definition of evil, and with his refinement and class, he finds vulgarities uncouth. Elric is a pawn of Arioch, a Lord of Chaos. Moorcock differentiates Chaos from...

More than a few times, yes. Saw it in the theater when it came out. Despite being 1981, I think it's the best use of rotoscoping in film history. In my opinion, it suffers from having it's conclusion be too quick and too tidy. The journey is better than the destination.

He looks cool, but he's hot... the biggest thing since World War Three... Let's not forget American Pop (1981).

Maybe somebody dosed their tea. :oops:

Reading through this thread, and then considering some (not all) of the reboots I've read, and all I can think of is Pet Cemetery by way of South Park...
