So that Larry can finally stop bugging me. Yes, tonight (Saturday, January the Last, 2009) I laid me down and watched the pilot. Then again, along with many other good things he’s done for me, he’s the party guilty of giving me the Firefly full-season DVD (buy it). So I reckon the man’s entitled. He shoots [...] So I finally did something I should’ve done weeks ago: went and saw Iron Man. Just up front: if you haven’t seen it, it’s a great movie. Also if you have. I first started to get hopeful, I think, seeing an early trailer for it. The first review I read was by James [...] I hope – how I hope – I truly hope the new Indiana Jones movie doesn’t stink as badly as the “first” – i.e. the new – Star Wars trilogy. Advance notice on the net is unkind. Of course, fanboys can be beyond hypercritical. You knew that, I’m guessing? On the other tentacle … it wasn’t as [...] (First in an undoubtedly unending series.) And, mirabile dictu, it doesn’t even involve guns! First, mea maxima culpa for going dark here for so long. (Nothing like tossing in gratuitous Latin phrases to make you look smarter than you are. And if anybody’s smarter than I am, it sure isn’t me!) Things got on top of [...] Dungeons & Dragons (and before that Chainmail, a proto-RPG which I played in a campaign run by Walter Jon Williams) co-creator Gary Gygax has died.
Enter the ICHC online Poker Cats Contest! Those of us who have enjoyed, and devoted far too much life, time, and creative energy to, role-playing games, owe Gygax a deep (if [...] Thanks to everybody who turned out for the signing. I told you a good time would be had by all. And what do you know …? I just had a big old boatload of fun Saturday at Page One. And as I said, I’m not even in the book. Although as [...] Okay, in response to thunderously absent popular demand, here’s one more bit on the Superbowl. It’s the last. I promise. Really. The real story was how the New York Giants defense just bulldozed the Patriots’ secret (or at least seldom-acknowledged) weapon: possibly the best offensive line in history. Sure, much as it pains me [...] Just a few moments ago it seemed to me I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror. Then I realized it was only Bill Simmons, the Sports Guy, screaming in anguish that the Patriots just lost the Superbowl. Heh, heh. Those predictions: the next Sports Guy column [...] I can’t tell … and if you want some clues, go here. Click there now and check it out. Seriously. I’ll still be here when you get back. Y’all know, probably (and if you don’t, hang around a spell and it’ll all become abundantly clear) that I’m more than somewhat slightly skeptical and cynical about [...] This hit me literally out of nowhere: the other day a message appeared in my e-box headed, “SCI FI NIGHT AT NM SCORPIONS HOCKEY,” from one Melissa Gomez, who proved to be the Director of Special Events for the New Mexico Scorpions hockey team (I’m presuming I’m not violating any confidence by posting this, [...] |
