If there is a Warner Bros. movie you love and you don't have on physical media then do not hold off getting it while you still can.

Also, let's face it: if you've got spells like Alter Self on tap, let alone Polymorph, a secret kinky magical underground would evolve about 10 seconds later to take advantage of that. Picture all the body-swapping hedonism of ALTERED CARBON, but magic, and you're almost there.

This is why the average post-Tolkien medieval fantasy pastiche features better architecture and cleaner cities than any real-world village ever did: the hard-working janitorial wizard. Battered hat, coverall, animated sentient mop. A common stock character in local theater.

In the average magic-drenched fantasy setting, you'd see people studying magic specifically for agricultural applications, or sanitation, or just basic logistics. There's a variant of Mage Hand that's specifically for addressing breech births in livestock.

I watch MST3K like I talk, or breathe, or ski: unconvincingly.

Yeah, I had to do that earlier this year. Things do seem... slower.

Aww. Thanks, pal.

Good lord, I hadn't gotten there yet, but you're right. The Curse of SNK apparently has no limit.

It's sort of funny how modern Saudi Arabia in general seems to exist as an example of the functional overall limit of solving all your problems by throwing money at them. Sooner or later, you have to put actual thought into an issue.

Seems obvious to me. You're thinking about Meg Foster, and the first things everyone remembers about her are her eyes.

Yet, inexplicably, I was not.

It's hard for me to imagine Ernest Cline and Clive Barker inhabiting the same place at the same time without profound negative consequences for Cline.

Not violent, but some kind of dry British dunk that takes six hours to kick in and Cline immediately has to take some time to... think.

We've been raised to expect these people would all be Lex Luthors and it turns out they're a room full of David Spade's character from PCU.

Who drew the pages, anyway?
