It is REALLY HARD to watch a German film from 1922 and not wonder what the cast and crew were all doing 20 years later.

Die Partnerin is browsing Wikipedia and they sound like an okay group so far.

I skipped the mask and feel a bit stupid about that now. Last time I was here was for Eraserhead, and the crowd was really sparse.

Catching a screening of Nosferatu (1922) with a live band. Wasn't expecting this kind of turnout. I've been assuming I might rent this place for b movie night and they're making me think this is the right choice.

Oh sure, I post Zack Ward in a bathtub full of blood and it's immediately flagged but this freak show is okay.

I remember reading about an old lady who found it more affordable to just constantly take cruises than get elder care.

I think John Woo would have been an unknown if he was just an action director. All his Hong Kong films had interesting genre blends, and that made them especially distinct.

In this one he also did a great job shooting a public event and seamlessly editing it into the film.

I think everybody of a certain age had Space Patrol.

I had the edition on the left.

Yeah, Tesla is an awful meme company that occasionally builds terrible cars, but at least there's a tangible product you can point to (before it explodes.)

AI is just clearly a speculative grift. It's a search engine that's also a girlfriend simulator.

Could never tell if it was a bug or if they actually had a consultant when an enemy would use my last known position for constant firing practice.

Aaaaand this brings all those tired jokes about sleep paralysis demons to their ultimate conclusion.

Please gather your belongings and mind your step as you disembark from the ride.

Like most modern tech products, it's probably going to be a spectacular failure when viewed through a classic lens, but will probably clean up on all that venture capital investment.

Will have to revisit this one because I had it back in the day and my impression wasn't favorable. Lot of work went into it but the real-time adventure where you can flunk out if you weren't in the right place at the right time requires boss-level design

And the Monty Python mouths were distracting

Absolutely wretched trip home courtesy of LA Metro and the 4:30 pm Douchebag Derby that is Los Angeles, but getting out to Second Street and seeing a guy in full Beetlejuice costume gunning a chrome hog down the street made it all worth it

Bill, the Internet is simple. You NEVER ask a question.

You simply state an incorrect fact about the thing you want to know about and people will swarm you with corrections.

Of course, they also do this if you're correct.

Anyway the concept really was about people doing a solo RPG rather than the writing. Incel City, here we come

You guys know the Lone Wolf and Avenger books (SO GOOD) exist, right?
