If you are a musician in an orchestra, you know what the gestures mean. It's not just calisthenics -- they are telling you something, even if that something is helping someone in the orchestra is having trouble keeping up.
 
Of course, the real work of the conductor is in the intense rehearsals required to prevent such occurrences, as well as to put the orchestra's stamp on the work. It's very hard work and very demanding.
 
Putting your stamp on includes managing the soloist in a concerto (of which there is one in every program). One time, for example, Leonard Bernstein was preparing for a concert where Glenn Gould was playing the solo part in a Brahms piano concerto. Now both had their ideas on how the work should be played, and both were stubborn as donkeys. Eventually, Bernstein was forced to relent and gave a short speech to the audience on the dispute and what they were apart to hear. Actually, they were very good friends off the stage, but both were also supreme artists and Gould had a deserved reputation as being difficult for conductors to manage.

The Third Man (1949) - Joseph Cotten stars as a writer who arrives in post-war Vienna and finds the friend that he was supposed to meet has apparently been killed in an accident. Moody and dark, the film is a classic that's highly recommended. (Netflix)

I left home this morning while everyone (except the cats) was asleep.  I return, 10-plus hours later, and the only change is that the cats are also asleep.

At least Galactus will enjoy eating that planet.

Man, some of the Closed Captioning on YouTube:

As a Champions villain, an extremely well-endowed female ripoff of Juggernaut with the code name "Juggs" is probably in poor taste.

And here's one I'd like to see that likely won't happen:
 
How about a Low Fantasy Setting?  Or a Sci-Fant setting like Barsoom?
 
No idea why, but unless your actual rulebook is specifically for Low Fantasy (like Conan), players want absolutely nothing to do with it.

I'd love an "Expanse" style setting, myself, Hoowever a remake of the proper Marvel Style universe and background to support the  flagships, yes, is probably necessary.
 

This is for those of us who prefer slug throwers to beams in our SF games.
 
 

Here is one person's POV on alien spacecraft. Agree or disagree?

You're walking to work, and no less than three a-holes in cars cut you off, even though you clearly had right of way. Small wonder I started cussing and yelling in the street.
 
Then you bang your knee, which was already giving you problems, in the most sensitive spot. Small wonder I started cussing and yelling in the office.

This thread is similar to the Random Links thread in the NGD. It's for scifi-related videos, articles, pictures, etc. for topics that don't quite fit anywhere in the threads here. If you find something interesting but don't really want to start a new discussion about the topic, feel free to post it here.
