Barbarella. Wondering how this got made, but at the same time grateful it was. It's basically a sci-fi fairy tale. 

The Peter Sellers Pink Panther films. 

One other thing that struck me in this after watching the post credits scene. Is the problem still the same one or does Stephen cast it a second time, as it certainly looks the same. And if so, then his entire shifting the blame to Peter was, well arrogant and selfish (which of course is very in character for him). The problem being, he doesnt realize how deep a guilt complex Peter has and that Pete would accept the blame. Wong warned Stephen about the consequences, and yet he ignored them. And given that we saw that Wong was heading to the ancient temple, where we see Mordo attack, it makes me think the movies run concurrently.
Also, I now wonder if Stephen remembers Ned using the ring, since he forgot Peter.
And one of the easter egg sites I saw mentioned that even though she forgot Peter, MJ still wears the broken Black Dhalia necklace at the end, so there is something there.

Spider-Man is great at quips because with great power comes great response ability.

I have to thank all of the above-mentioned people for giving us Herophiles a Golden Age of Hero Games. DOJ Inc. came in when the game appeared all but dead, and produced more and more diverse Hero material than ever before, most of it of high quality. It's a tragedy that many of the company's plans for further publications were unable to be realized, and that new production slowed so dramatically over the second decade compared to the first. But I for one will always be deeply grateful for the many great hours of gaming, and heck, just reading, that DOJ provided me. You all should be very proud of what you accomplished.    
 

Believe it or not, it was 20 years ago today that Darren Watts, Jason Walters, the Secret Masters, and myself bought the HERO System (and its related IPs)!
 
It's been a wonderful, amazing journey ever since -- one with its ups and downs, like any journey -- but still an awesome one. My deepest thanks to all the HERO fans out there who have made it possible!

Hey True Believers! How about trying a sample of the star-spanning podcast Explain This, Comics Guys!!, this week featuring the Kree? Otherwise we've wasted a lot of money on this Psyche-Magnitron... https://explainthis.podbean.com/

Wow. Spider-Man was so good.
 

I think they're hideous, at any price. YMMV, of course.
 
 
 
I like the one for Chaotic Good: "Good intentions, questionable methods".

Q: What program do Jedi masters use to open PDFs?
 
 

If you get the chance, it's worth watching in the cinema to get the surround-sound effect.
 

Q: What kind of shoes do kidnappers wear?
 
 

At some point, I'd love a Moon Knight episode. 

Today (Dec 8th) is Aaron Allston's birthday. Let us light a candle and toss a few D6 for our missing brother.
 
 

It gets progressively better after the first season. Much better.

"You've seen elf on a shelf!  Now, set it on fire!"
 
Oh, wait.   That was me.
 
I was saying that.....
