  1. In the personal adverts of The Hindu's competitor....
  2. Strictly speaking these aren't videos. They're audios, but close enough, and these characters constitute a really interesting paired origin. Incidentally the performer's default name for her supervillain characters is "Bloody Heart".
  3. It's not a proper rpg unless it has a new character generation system so I don't expect much.
  4. Shrinking is the amazing power to get people not to notice your regrettable fashion choices.
  5. I certainly do believe that it's possible to grow, to change and learn better and that we should let people outlive old mistakes. I don't think that applies to Barker who started doing this stuff quite late in life and seems to have been an active holocaust denier until declining health took him out of action. I don't think it taints Empire of the Petal Throne. He did that stuff between the 50s and the 70s while he got into this holocaust denial stuff in the 90s. Then again, I don't much care because I didn't like his work anyway.
  6. Afghan conflict: Trump hails deal with Taliban to end 18-year war - BBC News
  7. I have since remembered that the worst movie I saw, even worse than Starship Invaders, was Master of Disguise. I watched it on a two day bus trip where they inexplicably played it to "entertain" us. Not one thing about it worked. Unrelentingly stupid and unfunny.
  8. Barbarella was an adaptation of a French science fiction comic book and those are always loopy. Just look at City of a Thousand Planets which ground to a halt and just spent it's time looking at pretty landscapes.
  9. Honestly I can't imagine anyone thinking The Last Jedi was the worst move when The Rise of Skywalker came after it. TLJ was a mixed bag but TRoS gave way to all the worst demands of the fandom. But the worst film I ever saw was Starship Invasions. To be fair it was low budget 70s Canadian science fiction. What the hell was wrong with Robert Vaughn's finances that he was taking this kind of gig? I think the best part of Starship Invasions was the part where they fixed the flying saucer with parts purchased at Radio Shack. For worst big budget movie...maybe Wild Wild West?
  10. Most like a dying modem or a damaged cable into the house.
  11. My Tia Pepa, she's got a mood disorder She's either happy, or she'll drown you in the sea My Tio Bruno-- Not that song about Bruno! No! They say he's got dpression and maybe OCD No! And here's my mom, Julieta, and here's her deal Whoa! She uses food to stuff up how you feel Whoa! Her love gets sublimated into meals If she's repressed, imagine how I feel Mom! What this family needs is therapy! My whole family needs some therapy I guess I'm lucky all I have is anxiety Cause... This family needs all the therapy Oh crap
  12. Not much. That's actually an "Are you a robot" question.
  13. It's not officially called that, of course. But after Associate Justice Benjamin Cardozo died in 1938, Felix Frankfurter succeeded him on the court. And when Frankfurter retired in 1962, President Kennedy named another Jew, Arthur Goldberg, to succeed him. That's when the term "Jewish seat" began to be widely used.
