    Oh wow, I stepped off this series when it went to Not Bob (I did read the accidental elf invasion one) and I guess I have some catching up to do. Will report back in a few months.

  2. In Topic: Ye Big Bond ... James Bond Thread

    Goldeneye is still peak bond

    I still think it's a top 7 Bond movie. My all time favorite is From Russia With Love, which is absolutely goofy and a product of its time.

    Anyways, the thing about Bond is that there's tropes upon tropes and just about endless ways to take it even if the Broccolis were in charge, so all of this depends on the individual creative team and how they want to work with the dying of the British empire/move away from secret agents/colonial violence/silliness themes.

    I don't see this particular set up as being anti Bond because the fundamental concepts of Bond are functionally insane.

  3. In Topic: Whats making you happy right now

    One note - do not work to get the dust off yourself. If the painting is worth a large amount of money, having a professional do it will preserve the painting better than someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Best of luck with this.

  4. In Topic: What's messing with your groove?

    10 May 2025 - 01:30 PM

    Way to go in getting to the situation where you could put two and two together, then take decisive action.

    Any idea of the vectors?

    There's elements of certain products that are absolutely fitting into this, yet these are not coming from the corporate leadership. They are works of art done by hired professionals. Disney is not a full monolith, yet the ease with which they separate people from their money and keep the visitors flowing into their parks means the leadership is pulled only a little by those hired professionals.

    I love how well you write in discussions. It's like a far more articulate version of me saying things I want to say.

    I needed an excuse to change my profile status so I used it to respond to your incredulity that I am still alive.

    Um, the NEW SANDMAN trades have the Absolute -recolouring-...but the older trades don't. You can see a comparison here at the link below and personally I think it's staggeringly different for tonal value of the panels. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/09/23/absolute-sandman-recoloring/

    Oh, and cheers for calling me out on the pics on the election thread, I have a bad habit of not registering if a thread's in Discussion or not but I will cut down on the no content posts there.

    heh, sorry, didn't mean to make it look like you were resentful of my presence or anything. I just felt most comfortable approaching you about it. As QT mentioned there are others who feel the same as him. I'll still be around, but I'm just saying I wouldn't be offended. :p

    By the way, if you guys want to have a Terez-free WoT thread, I wouldn't object to that. To be honest, I probably won't be discussing WoT online much longer anyway. It's not good for me. ;) I'm told some people feel like they have to defend a dissertation to discuss WoT with me. Not true, really, but I get it.
