A foolish consistency is the HD 1+1 hobgoblin of little minds. (couldn't resist)

I have to admit I laughed out loud when we apparently got dropped back into the Disney+ menu 2/3 of the way through the episode. That was more meta than I was expecting. Even considering the episode started with an intro in the style of the Bixby/Ferrigno Hulk series. It was all very clever. So...

Wes Anderson. You’d basically get the film-within-a-film from Roman Coppola’s movie CQ. It won’t happen, but no power in the ‘verse can stop me from wanting it to happen!

LaNasa’s wife’s maiden name is Reich? This is why satire is dead.

Judeaooine People's Front.

That’s how I read it.

That's not really what I meant. I thought the show's explanation of mithril seemed of a piece with Ungoliant, Telperion, Laurelin et al. Mythic. The sort of thing that wouldn't seem out of place in a Scandinavian saga. Sufficiently Tolkien-esque. I wouldn't feel the same way about the...

This is a universe where a big spider eats the trees that are also the sun… I like the idea the Elves think the light in mithril will help their fading from the world. It is presented as a desperate hope.

Cassian is interesting to watch. It’s what I look for in a film character.

I hope everything starring Cassian Andor opens with a cold-blooded murder. We’re two for two so far!

Or TMBG’s “Your Racist Friend”. I mean, this is where nuTSR’s party ends…

Ages ago back in high school, my dad’s friend (and our history teacher) used classic Traveller for his Star-Trek inspired campaign. I recall breaking every directive, prime or otherwise we came across, but the system was fine. It won’t do anything to impart a Trek-like feel. However, the...

Godspeed Snarf! Here's hoping you either decide to stay or return at some point in the future. You had great taste in film, if somewhat questionable taste in Italian pastry...

Simka has come a long way, baby. (really did not expect that casting announcement, but she’s great, so good)

I didn’t realize the MCU needed a character who accessorizes with Big Gulp-sized Cosmopolitans until I did. Random observation: Wong & Madisynn were sweet in a way Jen & Hot Oncologist were not. What should we read into this?

Oh definitely. That’s why I said films. I could have been clearer. The three series you mentioned have fantastic art direction (and each is unique & well thought-out).

I watched it last night (admittedly with a few glasses of Chardonnay) and thought it was... delightful? Funny and bittersweet and frequently absurd like the movies Taika Watiti made before getting budgets well in excess of 100,000,000 to shoot with. I’m coming to really respect any director who...

Deliberately making D&D absurd is… not difficult. Regardless of edition.

They've even infiltrated our games shows and rock music!

I am enjoying the fact I can’t tell if it’s Gandalf, Sauron, or Saruman who fell out of the sky.
