I hope you get it. Disney is recalling it and setting a new thus far undisclosed release date for it. A lot of dealers were sent their orders for it so you may find it someplace, but Disney is requiring everybody (stores and distributors) that did get it to return it. Apparently there was...

I just got a 5 DVD changer and I've got it filled right now with the following: Godzilla Mothra King Ghidorah Giant Monsters All-Out Attack! Pirates of the Caribbean The Great Escape Seabiscuit (have to watch this one yet) Sinbad & The Legend of the Seven Seas I'm mostly watching Godzilla...

I actually like Ben Affleck quite a bit. The guy gets a lot of flack, but I think that he's pretty good. Lately, he has made some poor choices (Pearl Harbor, Gigli, Paycheck) but I really liked him in all of his Kevin Smith-movie appearances, Good Will Hunting, Daredevil, Changing Lanes, etc...

I enjoyed both films, but I think that Daredevil captures the feel of the source material much, much better than Hulk. Daredevil was clearly made by fans for fans, whereas the folks that made Hulk didn't quite get it. Stuff I liked: The 'real guy getting constantly bashed' aspect of...

Yeah, he does okay. He's not super great, but he CAN do more stuff than just the goofy idiot routine. I thought he was convincing in Butterfly Effect.

I just saw it today. I enjoyed it. It certainly didn't deserve the critical dubbing it received. I thought it was pretty clear why Evan avoided Kayleigh at the end--it was the same reason he went back to when they first met and drove her away--he knew that he was no good for her and that she...

Just in watching the movies I really felt that Gandalf was more of a Paladin sort of character than anything else, especially after he came back as Gandalf the White. He probably ought to have an 'Istari' template added to him. Mixing in some levels of Bard certainly fits him as well...

Mostly correct, Benben. ;) Legend of Zu is how the film is marketed outside of the United States. Zu Warriors is what Columbia Tristar was calling it at one time (and may still be) for its eventual/maybe Stateside release. You should be able to find the HK DVD of Legend of Zu just about...

Columbia Tristar has been holding on to Legend of Zu even longer. After having seen the actual movie though, I can understand. It's beautiful to look at but wholly incoherent on a level I've never encountered before. How do you market something like that? I do wish that...

Exactly, Scion. We're definitely on the same wavelength. When I DM, I give myself a pool of action dice equal to 1 action die for each PC in the game that any of my NPCs can draw from and I give major 'named' NPCs 1 or two of their own. The type of die varies depending on which NPC is using...

Amen, on both counts.

Cutie Honey looks FUN. I read in Anime Insider that they are making using 'live action animation,' meaning they're having the actors pose in one position, taking a shot, then moving a little more, taking another shot, and so on. The anime style action sequence in the trailer has great energy...

Yeah, but why play with something like hero points if the players aren't encouraged to use them? And I thoroughly disagree with letting players hoard them from session to session. One or more players will wind up with oodles of them and easily blow through the climactic moments of the...

The trick to watching Masters of the Universe is to not think of it as He-Man, but as Jack Kirby's Fourth World comics brought to life. Every time they say 'He-Man,' think 'Orion' instead. Every time they say 'Skeletor,' think 'Darkseid.' I mean, the movie has parademons and boom tubes, even!

I love this movie. Love it. If you liked this one you might also want to try Magic Cop. It also stars Lam Ching Ying as a Taoist priest zombie fighter, but he's also a modern day policeman. Pretty cool.

I stole this from Spycraft and have been using it in D&D. It's been a while since we played but all of my players dug it. Let me know if you have any suggestions for changes or additions. ACTION DICE Action dice represent the lucky breaks so commonly enjoyed by action movie heroes. The...

That's awesome! I share my birthday with one of my all time favorite authors! Thanks for posting that, Swoop!

Were you one of those folks that left when the One Ring was destroyed? Or when Aragorn was crowned king? Or when the hobbits made it back to the Shire? Or when Gandalf, the Elves, and the Bagginses sailed off to the Gray Havens? If so, then you missed it. :) It played over the credits.

It's not just you. I dropped Kelly's JLA after way too many issues. I absolutely hated his early stuff on the title (Golden Perfect, Obsidian Age, etc.) and it just got worse afterwards. I will try it out again after he leaves. JSA and Hawkman are super sweet right now and I'm really curious...

I think it was more the individual characters in the film and the rampant drug use that he didn't care for. While it may have been a very common thing over there, it wasn't something that he personally put up with as a platoon leader himself. He was bent on surviving the experience and getting...
