i thought it was interesting Diesel directly referenced the old games

He adds: "We did have great success with Escape From Butcher Bay. It feels like an eternity ago now. But, I imagine that we would take advantage of the gaming space and add an extra chapter, but definitely, the [movie's] script is already written. So it's safe to say that we are moving towards filming the fourth chapter of Riddick."

50 minutes long but worth every cent.

His co-parenting with the government interviews the other day were priceless.

Farscape was good, but maybe should have ended a season early. I remember a lot of bad Scorpius episodes.

Another vote for the goodness that is "Farscape". It doesn't take itself too seriously and happily leans in to the cheese in a good way. Claudia Black in black leather is just icing on the cake.

@SMA, Watched E01 of The Terror. Good stuff, going to continue. Master and Commander is one of my favorite movies, and although this tells a very different story, it has a similar vibe. I forgot who Tobias Mendez was until I saw his face, he was great in Outlander playing opposite characters.

@Mr. Tact, you mentioned you enjoyed Farscape in the B5 conversation yesterday, and I've never seen it so you've convinced me to start watching. Thanks.

great show. read the book, it's better. farscape is excellent as well once you get past the lowish production quality and all the NZAUS accents. the henson puppets achieve a certain charm after awhile. since you're a b5 fan i suspect the fly-by-night feel of the production won't bother you much. i'll always have an unhealthy crush on chiana and claudia black was all around breathtaking.

Cool, let us know what you think.

Another vote for Farscape. Fair warning, first season takes a while to find it's feet. That said, it's a fun ride.

I recommend coffee drinkers avoid consuming the drink until an hour after waking up. Allow your body to naturally complete it's waking process. If you feel like shit before your first cup, your body is dependant. Wait an hour and try to decrease the dosage too. Week by week, a little less. It's NOT ok to be abusing caffine, it's NOT a badge of honor, there are consequences.

So, I finished watching Midnight Mass last night and, enh, no great shakes - or even good ones IMO. Drags way too much and far too much focus on extraneous minutia. Concept wasn't very good overall either.

Riddick lV
oh please oh please oh please

Yeah, PB and the Riddick films are great fun action sci-fi. Great world building and fun stories, esp. Chronicles. And Butcher Bay is one of the best movie tie-in games made. I think Vin Diesel's nerd side helps a lot for these properties. Not just a gig for him.

Headline should read:

Bill Cosby Thinks Bill Cosby Got Railroaded in Federal Sex Crimes Trial.

Swimming With Hawaii's Spinner Dolphins Is Banned To Protect The Animals.

The problem here isn't that people swim with the dolphins, which I've done many times from shore. It's that boats, canoes, paddleboards, etc. chase them around. If you swim out, they'll come to you if they're of a mind to. If they're not, you'll never catch them, because dolphins.

Wow Texas. TEXAS! Where the oil companies pretty much own the politicians, is pausing fracking because of earthquakes. I think hell must be freezing over.

I mean, it froze over when the disconnected power grid failed.

too sad to be funny, but still funny XD

Anyone have a particular brand or type of coffee they prefer? I generally drink Don Pablo - off Amazon, which is a "Medium-Dark roast - Whole bean Arabica coffee". At Xmas I'll buy me ma, and myself, some Kona coffee.

Stumptown.

Fracking can cause problems? Who knew?

Cosby? Takes one to know one?

'What's causing the acceleration, Hal?' 'I'm afraid I can't answer that, Dave.'

Yep, the next extinction level event has already begun. We're toast. Hopefully we don't take everything else with us.

Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.
