Re: Bit of Analysis: Rifts Dimensions
I wish I could remember the details, but there are workarounds for the whole "Wormwood is terrible for crossovers" thing. For starters, there's a city in one of the South America books that's essentially a D-shifted chunk of Wormwood that still counts for keeping symbiotes and the like ali...

Re: Dr Who S33 episode 6: The Bells of Saint John [Spoilers]
Those are both of the things I thought of when yelling at the screen about how to do what this episode was trying to do ("human bodies are ridiculously permeable to radio waves, at least give them a Bluetooth headset or something to receive the signal!"), so I guess we just see things diff...

Re: Dr Who S33 episode 6: The Bells of Saint John [Spoilers]
Anyone else get the distinct impression that Moffat has no clue how wi-fi (or any form of radio waves, for that matter) actually works? Cause the whole hacking people through wi-fi thing was just too much for my suspension of disbelief.

Re: Build your own corps
Blue Lantern - Captain America. I've seen pretty much a million other ideas over on RPGnet, but that was the one that really stuck with me. ETA: oh, and going on the idea that Green Lanterns are defined by "the ability to overcome great fear", Arnold Judas Rimmer for Green Lantern... but o...

Re: "How to loose a guy in 10 days" or Why I HATE Chick Flicks!
Chick flicks in general I tend to revile for being utterly formulaic and I would challenge anyone out there to name one, especially the males, to name one they actually enjoyed. Among many others that I can't remember at the drop of a hat... 10 Things I Hate About You and 2 Weeks Notice . No, they'...

Re: Mundane uses for super powers
Could Superman really do that? It seems to me that a person's fist isn't exactly a sealed environment; the coal would just crumble and squeeze out of the little cracks and spaces between his fingers and his palm. Also, even if we presume he can create an airtight seal between all of his fingers and...

I've known waaaay too many seemingly innocent people who would sell their own grandmothers for a handful of Hydrocodone. Pending any actual proof that it wasn't, I'm calling it an overdose. :? Hydrocodone overdose wouldn't cause a heart attack. Yes, but if you follow my (ok, pretty flawed) assumpti...

Re: Little things that get to you in terms of beleivability
You know, for all its general horribleness, Enterprise was actually pretty decent about a few things on this list. IIRC, there were several episodes where various officers (particularly the captain) had to be called to the bridge when they were off-duty... and also at least one instance of gravity f...

Finally getting the Big G on screen: made my day...
with just the right song for his arrival: even better...
and picking up a ball that Toho dropped twice: fantastic!
The look on Raven's face: priceless.

To avoid that me too feeling, I present three brand new (if rather unfeasible) options. 1: head for the South Pole. Once you get far enough from the coast, Antartica is pretty much the deadest place on the surface of the Earth, IIRC. 2: whether you build your own rocket or repurpose somebody else's,...

Re: Weirdest Movie You've Ever Seen?
This is rather tricky... I mean, I've seen a lot of really bad movies with high levels of WTF content ( Deadly Friend for one, Zardoz might be another, though it's so bad it's awesome).

For Medieval Japan (not European knightly, but some of the ideas can carry over), Ran is Kurosawa's adaptation of King Lear . Betrayal and war in Japan. Um... Lion in Winter .

No discussion of what went wrong with the American Godzilla is complete without mentioning the design leak fiasco.
As to the OP... well, if it happens, I hope it doesn't suck.
