“In Tartarus” - The Night Eternal
“In Tartarus” - The Night Eternal
Can’t log in or view the site with liftoff, sadly.
Saw it last night, mostly agree with this take on it, though in a bit less glowing terms. I didn’t think the emotional payoff alluded to in this review really worked, because I didn’t think they’d laid enough groundwork for it. Too much of this movie was more storyboard than story, with not enough time spent on actually delving into these characters’ feelings and relationships. That said, it was definitely a fun popcorn flick, with some great action, a good sense of humor, fun characters, and, as the article points out, minimal required external knowledge. And everything said about the publicity was spot on.
Glib (though truthful) answers aside, I thought this was a good read. Thank you for posting it.
YOU GET A HEADSHOT, AND YOU GET A HEADSHOT!
No. And while I will treat those who do with the same level of dignity and respect I grant to everyone, I secretly do think less of them for it (especially when I see them perpetuating the indoctrination with their children).
I have no idea how many hours I put into WoW or SWTOR back in the day when I was playing them. For now, I’ve got 2,176 hours logged in Battletech.
Current game pet peeve - the delay after each enemy acts in combat in Baldur’s Gate 3. I absolutely love this game, but big combats take longer than they should because after each enemy acts, there seems to be a 5-10 second delay before moving on to the next.
Favorite game pet peeve - The overall poor performance/memory management in HBS’s Battletech game. Again, love the game, have put nearly 2000 hours into it over the years, but damn the performance can just be painful sometimes.
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
Kiss - God of Thunder (Destroyer was the first album I owned)
Depends, if it’s hot enough to need the AC, door closed. If not, door open so I can open the window and get some airflow.
Atom Eve is a single one-shot hour long episode on prime now, and season 2 drops November 3 (in the US anyway).

Ooh, I’d forgotten that about the green phasing person - good catch! Yeah, I wonder… and definitely would love some Monster Girl history.
I think that’s a fair criticism. I chalk it up to her being young and inexperienced at this point, and as a result thinking about being a superhero just like the ones that already exist. It didn’t bother me personally as I was watching, but fair point nonetheless.
RIF was fun for reddit
As a teenager, I worked in a local single-screen movie theater in an affluent town and had occasion to meet John Delancy (Q from Star Trek Next Gen) who was very friendly, and Jason Robards, who was pleasant enough but kept to himself. I’ve met a few famous people at conventions, but the best was Adrienne Barbeau, who I met at a horror convention in Worcester, MA years ago. It was early and there weren’t a lot of people around yet, so we went over to say hello. We spent about half an hour just talking, commiserating over the then-very-recent cancellation of Carnivale on HBO. She was an absolutely lovely person in every way.
No they are not. Birthdays are calculated from the day of birth, hence birthdays. And zygotes are not yet people, no matter what the forced-birthers tell you.

Just played through the demo, and I think the gameplay is fun and entertaining, but I agree. It’s not that they’re physically hard to read - you can right click on the cards and blow them up big - but the language is imprecise and unclear in places. It’s not always obvious what a card does or what specific abilities do, even with the tooltips. I did wishlist it, but I’ll wait until it’s on sale or in a bundle.
