Re: Life's too Shiort- Deleted song From Frozen

No, what I mean is, in the deleted song, Anna was foisting the gloves on Elsa, making the whole 'coming out' metaphor that Frozen seems to have more plain, with Anna telling her to go back to what she was by handing her the gloves to put on, pretending and hiding, and not being herself, whereas in ...

Re: PnP_RPG:What is the most overpowered character you'v pla

Back in 3.0, I played a Monk. Splatbooks were allowed, as were certain rules fudging for allowances, like not requiring specific faction allegiances, since they didn't exist in universe. Said Monk was prestiged a Sacred Fist. So he had his Wisdom to Attack and Damage, in addition to his AC. Thanks t...

Re: DragonBall Z abridged

The reason a lot of English-language anime consists of the characters just standing around talking is because the Japanese version was already cut to within an inch of its life to get past American censors. I'm told they cut the hell out of Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin . No. The reason a lot o...

Re: BREAKING: EARTHQUAKE IN DC

In Chapel Hill we had only some minor vibrations. Apparently, it was a bit more pronounced nearer the mountains.

So, what practice or policy do you think the looneys will claim caused this one?

Re: "The Thing" Prequel Trailer Up

Edit: I just checked IMDB, and they say that this is actual title, and also that it is allegedly a prequel, but I still think it is more a substitute, for today's movie-goers, for original movie. The claim that they couldn't think up a new title sounds weak to me. Well, what title could they give i...

Re: Portal 2 now with even more SCIENCE

I am a bit unsure how that works. For one, her name is redacted and according to the comic, she was old enough to both have a police record and to be pronounced dead. Do you mean the test question? That just asks if anyone would file a police report if she went missing. And the Bring Your Daughter ...

Re: Response to RedLetterMedia's TPM Review (108 Page PDF)

MST3K and Rifftrax are not trying to make serious criticisms. They are not reviewing the films. They are snarking them. You keep trying to retreat into the defense of 'It's comedy!' Asiduo, but simply being comedic doesn't mean it's not also a review. Guess what, RLM's reviews are presented and labe...

Both sides of the argument lead to the same conclusion.

You don't have to remove him from the suit per say.
