You could use the players at the table as a framing device for the story, do like a Princess Bride kind of thing where you show players around the table occasionally, have the DM as the narrator.

I would hate this.

Enough with the meta poo poo (as I continue to read and write meta poo poo lol)

It was an attempt at Smoking Aces 3 as far as I am concerned. Better than 2 at least...

There's a sequel to Smoking Aces? Which has weirdly good parts in all the noise.

Too late, it's a Q and A.

I used to go to TIFF every summer and the weirdest motherfuckers run to grab the mic after a premiere is done. I remember seeing this weird fat old guy just rushing between the two lines on either side of the theater just to repeat his awkward as hell questions and rants

Glad I don't go to these things anymore

View to a Kill has a good theme but Living Daylights is the superior 80's bond theme. And I say that as someone who loves both Duran Duran and A-ha.

https://youtu.be/DfFbiFoAWjM vs https://youtu.be/Fp4CR2HcHLQ

View to a Kill sounds way better to me as a non-Bond guy listening to these tracks for the first time (I think). Duran Duran are just better musicians/composers.

The beat on View to a Kill hits hard, Living Daylights is not nearly as groovy

Live and Let Die (from my memory) is still my fav

I went through the first three Craig movies a couple of months ago. Casino Royale is a masterpiece, even with all the silly stuff in it carried over from the book. Skyfall is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen, and it's so well-acted, well-shot, and well-scored that it distracts you from the fact that the story is dogshit and maybe the most regressive Bond movie of all time, which is saying something. The real surprise, though, was Quantum of Solace, which I hadn't seen since it came out. It's not an easy movie to love, but there is an awful lot to like about it.

It was partially written by the director Marc Forster and Craig due to the writers' strike, and Craig has slagged off his own work on the movie multiple times... but I think it's the best written of the three (though who knows how much of that was done pre-strike). It has a punchiness and an anger to it that the other movies lack. Bond encountering a shadowy cabal of business execs auctioning off a country and meets them face-to-face not for any real tactical reason, but just because he can, because he wants them to know that they're not untouchable. It's a really taut geopolitical thriller that's hampered by having to be a James Bond movie and a sequel to Casino Royale (although those bits aren't bad).

How retrograde are the politics. I sa w a few mins on TV and immediately had to change based on pure douche chills

Some drunk lady stumbled into a showing of Killer Joe and puked (sounding like a ripping canvas bag) all over the first couple of rows. Ppl just moved up the theater rows. It fit the vibe of the movie perfectly.

The idea that there was a UFO trailing Hale Bopp's Comet was promulgated first and repeated on Art Bell's show by the rear end in a top hat Courtney Brown and Art Bell readily passed off Brown's doctored pictures proving it as proof of the theory and repeatedly posted the picture himself. Art Bell lied about it coming from an anonymous source.

AFAIK it was the first appearance of the theory that there was a spaceshape behind the comet in conspiracy circles. The leaders of the then Heaven's Gate cult were avid listeners and believed that it was their way to go to Heaven.

Ensue mass suicide.

AceOfFlames posted:

Art Bell once hosted a guest who claimed that the Halle-Bopp comet had a UFO trailing it, which the Heaven's Gate cult then committed mass suicide in order to hitch a ride on it.

Personally I think claiming Bell was "responsible" is a huge stretch since (at least according to the Last Podcast On The Left series on Heaven's Gate Redux, which usually has impeccable research), the Heaven's Gate cult had apocalyptic stuff baked into it from day 1 (leaders Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles AKA "Ti and Do" literally believed themselves to be the two witnesses from the Book of Revelation) and after Nettles died, Applewhite was so erratic and depressed that it was inevitable that he would cook up something like this and Hale-Bopp was just the excuse he latched onto.

I think having Brown on multiple times about it and not pushing back on it was insanely irresponsible, and if you look at the article I posted Art Bell was absolutely unremorseful or even saddened by the event. So yeah maybe he didn't murk 39 people but my god he was an rear end in a top hat about it.

The Akira movie is one of those things that's I think in its third decade of development hell. Leonardo DiCaprio is the one who was really pushing it for a long time through his production company (and I think used to want to play Kaneda years ago). I think at one point it almost got made by the writer and director of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, too.

I can kind of see his style working for all of those... except Akira. That just really does not seem like a good fit at all.

Akira has to be a TV show to work.

And animated.

And done by the same folks who did the original Ghost in the machine

And time travel us all to the 90s

It's crazy that Dan Steven's chose to be in a couple of episodes of a Hulu series like Welcome to Chippendales but it makes sense because he has some hilarious lines in it which I think is enough for him to sign onto something.

Vanity. Lots of actors have things in their contract requiring them to have VFX touchups done to them. Most of it is done by a company called Lola, who also does all of Marvel's de-aging, but the vast majority of their work is vanity touch ups for actors.

Once I and like 30 devs were in a meeting with a google account manager, and like 10 of us had our own private slack channel. It was a very boring presentation so we started posting funny gifs. Then someone posted the Ace is birthed scene and, to a person, we lost it. Of course, being polite types, we tried to hold it back but it was one of those things where I could see someone ahead of me trying to hold in laughter, and their shoulders shaking set me off, and round and round it went. And once you stopped, you look back at your laptop and see it looping again, and the whole process repeats. I was crying with laughter and trying to keep it restrained, but literally 3 waves of this epidemic went around the room.

Poor bastard up front must have been so uneasy.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTALL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT snype

Hard Hard Hard Disagree. Mortal Kombat is the perfect movie to make a "martial arts tournament" movie, and its how the material works the best. The story plot poo poo of MK is incomprehensible to really stupid outside of the actual "fight a magic tournament to save the world" aspect. All of the most basic plot poo poo that is decent to well done in MK is either centered on the tournament or on the machinations of the villains to upset the tournament structure.

MK2 and the MK Reboot are both proof you need the tournament. Hollywood isn't going to make the other stuff work. Just get a bunch of charismatic or sick martial artists and have them do amazing action pieces at the start to middle and you can end it with some more free for all junk, but you need that neato 1v1 fighting in cool and mysterious locations. The MK reboot spent their time fighting in like a meat locker or a shack or some poo poo it was garbage.

Yeah that's why the 90s MK movie, despite being cheesy in alot of respects, was cool as poo poo.
