    The 96th Annual Academy Awards (Sunday, 3/10/24)

    LOL! Sometimes shows that I'm not a native English speaker. There are objectively better acting performances. For example, Jack Nicholson's performance in Cuckoo's Nest is objectively better than Tommy Lee Jones's Two-Face in Batman Forever. It's not a subjective. It's a common misconception...

    GMs - what is your vetting process for finding new players?

    I found that no amount of vetting could prevent some new players be total anti-social jerks after 2-3 games. Their real personality comes out once they believe they are part of the group for good. Such a waste of time. That is why decided to play in solitary mode 80% of the time.

    The 96th Annual Academy Awards (Sunday, 3/10/24)

    I'm not baiting. It's been discussed several times over the years. An article about the topic: 40 nominees that should have won. I don't necessarily agree with all the choices but Shakespeare in Love winning over Saving Private Ryan didn't make sense, as do several other wins...

    The 96th Annual Academy Awards (Sunday, 3/10/24)

    Nope. It's boring as hell. The voting system doesn't favour the actual best movie of the year. It's about the internal politics of the Academy and the Studios. If you look at the list of best films of the year you will be surprised who won over objectively better movies.

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    This! That is exactly how I saw it. I don't like it when the central character's indecision/refusal is prolonged to the point it becomes tedious. Villeneuve struck the right balance for me.

    Rear propulsion cars used to be dominant. Not anymore. People still drive cars.

    WotC Hasbro CFO Sharpens Focus on Cost Savings As Toy Shoppers Pull Back

    How much social media do you do? I found that if I let social media go I have more energy for modelling, learning rules and playing.

    Trailer Dune: Part Two Exclusive Extended Sneak Preview (2024)

    Part II, with part I constitutes the best sci-fi political saga ever filmed. Hoping for a third film.

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    Well, I'm glad the 80s-kinky Lynch version was wiped clean of my memory and replaced by Villeneuve's.

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    I've just watched Dune for the third time tonight. Keeps getting better every time. The visuals are impeccable. The acting is superior. The movie doesn't manipulate the audience emotionally. We have to connect the dots as a spectator and choose how we see each character. The pacing is...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    If you watch a Youtube hacked copy of a grandiose sci-fi movie, made to be watched in a theatre, don't complain about the sound mixing and darker scenes your computer can't handle.

    Critical Role's 'Daggerheart' Open Playtest Starts In March

    No announcement. They will probably do the same thing they are doing with Candella Obscura. A side series with guest GMs and players, including some of the CR cast. It would make no sense to change the RPG system until CR 3 is over and Daggerheart is published in 2025 (if they follow their own...
