https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jun/11/christopher-lee-dies-at-the-age-of-93-dracula Well, he was 93, so it wasn't like it wasn't about to happen soon, but I'm still sad. The guy was such a powerful screen presence, and himself such a character. I believe he still holds the record for...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP0cUBi4hwE Argh. This looks disappointing. What a pity that this appears to be just another fairly pedestrian and surface-level Hollywood adaptation of a great book, all spectacle and no content. I'm particularly disappointed that they're using teenaged...

Posts like this are why John Scalzi's blog "Whatever" is one of only two blogs I bother following. Sometimes the guy is just awesome. https://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/10/25/a-fan-letter-to-certain-conservative-politicians/ Thoughts?

https://www.gamespot.com/features/ea-guns-and-the-dangers-of-brand-identity-6391777/ As part of their effort to promote Medal of Honor: Warfighter, EA is partnering with actual weapons manufacturers and hawking their products. One wonders who in their marketing department actually thought...

I had this old VHS tape back in the 90s called "NBA Superstars." It was a collection of music videos the NBA had put together for different players. I recently tracked down a DVD version after ditching my VHS player years ago. In any case, of course most of the videos are on YouTube now, so I...

I tried to respond to your PM, but apparently your message box is full... we're only allowed 50 messages. You need to delete some if you want me to respond. Please post in this thread to let me know when that's done.

I have no idea where this came from, but I saw it on numerous places on teh interwebs and thought it was hilarious, had to post it: And Jesus said unto them, "And whom do you say that I am?" They replied, "You are the eschatological manifestation of the ground of our being, the ontological...

So I'm moving from Chicago to Southern California middle of next month. I've decided that I want to ship most of my stuff to my new apartment rather than drive it all there. I've got a lot of books and DVDs, 3 laptops and some other misc electronics to transport. I'll probably take most of my...

Most of you probably know that I'm a graduate student in philosophy of religion. I've just finished my MA at the University of Chicago Divinity School, and I'm starting PhD work at Claremont School of Theology (in southern California) in late August. With all the religion and religion-related...

This is actually a bit of a story. Streets of Rage (or Bare Knuckle in Japan) is a series of side-scrolling beat 'em up games that originally appeared on Game Gear and Sega Genesis in 1991. The games were considered some of the best of their kind -- particularly Streets of Rage 2. In fact...

I'm a big fan of music videos and trailers in general... short, dramatic pieces that convey a feeling or a mood. I have something like 200 or so that I really like saved on my hard drive, and I watch them constantly. This has to be THE most impressive fan-made music video I've ever seen...

So I'm having issues with my wireless network. It all conked out yesterday, and I had to reset both the router and the modem. However, for some reason it wiped out all the settings and encryption on the router. Not sure why, it's never done that before. In any case, I re-did the SSID and...

Okay, so it's not actually as exciting as it sounds. I'm a current MA student at the University of Chicago Divinity of School, studying philosophy of religion, with a particular focus on process theology. I got an e-mail from the school in late October calling for papers by November 1st for...

https://popwatch.ew.com/2010/08/25/satoshi-kon-dies-at-46/ Most of you probably know by now that I'm a big anime nut. I've resisted starting any sort of general thread on anime, because this isn't really the place for it... I don't think there are really a lot of anime fans on this board...
