So like a person who reads a bunch of stories and then is inspired to write their own story

Thank you. It's nice to see that someone else here has actually researched this. We need better STEM education.

I've been saying this for TWENTY YEARS! They were an obsolete middleman the moment that the internet became mainstream.

Exactly! They're a big content producing corporation. Do you all really think that they need scraped content to make you obsolete? The only thing that eliminating scraped content is going to do is ensure that only big corporations like Hasbro have access to AI. They will be all powerful and the...

3.5e mixed with best ideas from pathfinder 1, 5e, and osr, and furthermore also somehow tweaked to achieve the following: *Order that classes are taken in shouldn't matter in multiclass builds; this mainly necessitates a change in the bonus skills at first level and how permanent changes in...

A couple of the things on that list seem spurious. The 2016 Ghostbusters movie had nothing to do with the rest of the series, and The Last Jedi introduced plot holes and also had internal plot holes and it butchered the characterization of beloved Star Wars characters. I think in that era it was...

Agreed. The rules should match the fluff.

Best: The Dark Knight Favorite: Mystery Men

I think that the point may be that it's not supposed to look choreographed, just props aren't supposed to look cardboard or styrofoam and monsters aren't supposed to look like guys in rubber suits (unless the film is a spoof or it's going for some kind or weird minimalism like you see in some...

I agree. Here's a tougher question: Is Doctor Who a superhero? He's got gadgets and regeneration and kind of a similar origin story to Superman (space alien. last of his kind but not really. etc)

This. Phantom Menace was fun. The other preqjels were forgettable

You want the world to uselessly spin its wheels for 50000 years?

And that's exactly the kind of thing I was talking about when I was dismissive of movie critics a couple pages back. They make bad calls like passing over Goodfellas for Dances With Wolves all the time. There's a formula for making films that win oscars, and it's not the same formula as for...

And yet ironically completely bought into their propaganda. It's evident from her work that she genuinely believed that the people in charge of the USSR cared about things like class equality, and that's why she attacked those things

That seems about right

They're shallow people, not bad people.

So like, the kind of moviegoers who go to the movies to seem sophisticated rather than to enjoy the movies?

Bob the Angry Flower is definitely underrated And as for Ann Rand, I find it humorous that John Galt, her most famous mouthpiece for her anti-union anti-religion worldviews, is a Christ-figure who organizes a worldwide walkout. It's a hilariously broken aesop

I agree. In most episodes they're not bad people (there are a handful of exceptions where they really are villainous though, wasn't there an episode where Elaine tried to poison her neighbor's pet or something)

As I said, this also applies at least to horror movies as well as sci-fi (Possibly to other genres but those are the only kinds of movies from the 1970's that I've really watched a lot of). If you look at Halloween 1, or the original versions of Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Dawn Of The Dead, they...
