    The Ultimates: Homeland Security

    I enjoy the series overall but there is an ongoing streak of mean-spiritedness that I don't care for at all--like the way normal miltary types are always portrayed as thugs who enjoy beating up 98 lb weaklings, etc. I'm looking foraward to seeing what the 'real deal' is with Ultimate Thor in...

    What movies should Hollywood remake?

    Agreed. These movies don't need to be remade, or 're-envisioned' or anything like that. Movies that had great concepts and potential but failed to deliver the first time around are the best candidates for being re-made--like Ocean's Eleven. The original has a great idea, but man it's boring...

    Referencial names for Warforged

    Yeah, it was 'Hector.' I don't feel too bad about missing that one though, considering I haven't seen Saturn 3 or really even heard anyone talk about it since it first hit HBO, which would've around 1981. I'm surprised I even remembered it to begin with! :) Kinda bummed I forgot about Jet...

    'Loki' gets his own comic -- and it looks great!

    Anyone pick up the latest issue of Thor written by Oeming? What'd you think? Personally, I HATED it. Spoilers: :(

    Kevin Bacon Game - How Close Are You?

    1.) I was in the same room with Michael Gross when he came to my work to pimp Tremors 4. 2.) Michael Gross was in Tremors 1 with Kevin Bacon. Ta Da! I totally rule! :cool:

    Market's View of Van Helsing

    According to Box Office Mojo it cost in the neighborhood of $160m, and marketing was around $50m. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel. I liked the concept of the movie.

    Who's a Hotty?

    Jennifer Connelly from the Rocketeer... Mmm... Jennifer Connelly...

    Pirate or Ninja?

    You both make me sick. Ninja-Pirates, indeed! Next thing you'll be talking about are Lion-Hyenas, Cat-Dogs, Rich-Poor, Militant-Pacifists, or some sort of Black Panther-White Supremists. They are natural enemies. Like oil and water. The French and people who shower. It just cannot happen...

    *I thought* The universe *was* playing tricks on me.

    You ever see that episode of Seinfeld where George decides he's always going to leave on a high note? That's what 'be excellent in her presence and withdraw' means. Be cool, then split, leaving her wanting more. Leave on that high note. Tao Of Steve should be seen by every guy.

    *I thought* The universe *was* playing tricks on me.

    That does suck. I'm in a pretty similar boat, aside from the fact that I actually got to date mine for a couple of weeks, and that she sits right next to me at work.

    Rate The Chronicles of Riddick (No CoR spoilers, some Pitch Black spoilers)

    I'm looking forward to it. I picked up the new Pitch Black DVD and was pleasantly surprised to find a free ticket to Chronicles of Riddick within. It is the kind of movie I'd go see regardless, but free makes it even better. :cool:

    Spider-Man 2 trailer, can there be spoilers?

    I hope for at least a little, but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't any at all. Some things don't translate as well to live action. I love the bit in Ult Spidey when he's fighting Kingpin and just stands there reading "You're so fat..." jokes from a note pad. Actually made me laugh out loud.

    Help! I'm in pain.

    I had a wisdom tooth go bad a couple of years ago. Could not BELIEVE how painful it was. I broke my femur clean in two ages ago and had broken bones grind together and poke into the surrounding muscle which caused the bones to grind together and poke into the muscles more which would just...

    Who's read Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men?

    Shouldn't this be a tertiary mutation? I thought the Beast becoming grey and furry (and then blue) was a secondary mutation that Hank induced himself. I'm not a big fan of this new cat-man look either. It doesn't seem like the Beast actually got any sort of power boost or new powers. They...

    I, Robot Trailer

    I, Robot will be to Isaac Aasimov as Starship Troopers is to Robert Heinlein. I really do hope that I'm wrong, though.

    Spider-Man 2 trailer, can there be spoilers?

    That strikes me as funny. Those scenes shown in the trailer were taken directly from early Spider-Man comics by Stan Lee--they're pretty much direct recreations. Peter Parker is like Charlie Brown but with lifethreatening situations--nothing ever goes his way. Spidey has always been one of...

    Describing Sneak Attack damage

    Sure, but in these cases the DM can simply elaborate on what the player provides them. If it's a death blow, then take what the player said and go a little further with and add some death throes or whatever you feel appropriate. Other times the DM can say, "Yep, that was a nasty hit--now...

    Spider-Man 2 trailer, can there be spoilers?

    Steve's right. Trailers have always been like this for as long as there have been movie trailers. The DVD for The Quiet Man with John Wayne has the original trailer as an extra feature and that trailer not only gives away every single plot point of the film, including the climax, it spoonfeeds...

    Describing Sneak Attack damage

    Um, why are YOU describing it? Let your players take care of describing their own attacks.
