Siren Song is a great album

Seconding. Early 30s, went to the doc with a set of strange new pains. Turns out I've been too sedentary and much of it started to improve with just a couple hours of walking every day

Should we be so lucky. I wonder how long people will identify as "middle class"

Wolverine and sperm whale was absolutely OP. Add gorilla/archer fish and you have a solid army

Kyle Katarn was a better story than anything Disney can do

I'll comment on the military perspective because it's what I know. Manpower surges (working 12+ hour shifts 7 days a week) are meant to be implemented for days or weeks, not long-term. After a handful of weeks mission effectiveness deteriorates rapidly. People burn out, struggle to focus, make simple mistakes, and become difficult to work with and irritable. Compound that with the stress of certain jobs and it's even worse.

My only regret is that I didn't cure my boneitis

I say if they're going to release dogshit movies, at least let people party in the theater

This drives me absolutely bonkers. It's one thing when several different authors think the universe is cool and want to create unique stories within it (e.g. the Star Wars EU), but it's entirely another when one approving board is seeking to maximize profits through a heavily templated story arc. It's disingenuous to storytelling and lacks more than a modicum of authenticity. It's why I struggle to watch any serial with more than three seasons. At a certain point as a viewer, you can tell when the story should naturally end and when the writers are told to drag it out.

Contrary to the article, I'm a sci fi enthusiast and I'm not excited. This looks like it has the quality of the Amazon LotR costume design. And I agree, I'm certain this book is not adaptable to the big screen

 

A little heavy-handed, but at least they're being honest
