Unfortunately, yes.
Ok, Jessica. Let me ask you this: Was the moral of that story supposed to be "Always open your mail on time ?"
Just curious.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Art Crawl!!!
Aimee! Bwahahahaha!
I haven't seen the movie -- reading the book for book club left me with no desire whatsoever to see the movie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Reign of Fire is pretty dumb, and there's not nearly enough dragon action, although the dragons look pretty damn cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Reign Of Fire is a thinly veiled dialectic on post-colonial relations. As such, I enjoyed it mightily.
As a display of sweaty manflesh, also a rousing success (so that's where Bashir got to).
As an action movie, okay.

Well, and there's the re-enactment of Star Wars, which is good for a chuckle or three.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I was extremely disappointed in Reign of Fire. Based on the previews and the movie posters I was expecting battles between dragons and modern military hardware. Fighter jets and helicopters dog fighting with great wyrms in the skies. Obviously, this didn't happen.
The Star Wars bit was good, though.

Good. I'm glad I am not the on;y one who was left completely unmoved by this movie.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Note to self: When seeing über-creepy Japanese ghost movie in which the ghost's lethal manifestations are accompanied by creaky clacking wood sounds, notably in a public restroom, do not immediately follow up by going to a restaurant whose men's room has a spring-activated door that makes almost exactly the same sound .

Note to Matt: At least you would be in the proper place to piss in your pants.

This is true. I think I might last a little longer than most of the victims in these movies, though. The ghosts always get people while they're paralyzed in terror and trying to hide in a closet or under a coffee table with their eyes closed. You never see them going to the effort of chasing after the guy whose first instinct is to dive headfirst out a window and run down the street screaming his head off .
Also, six years of going to gay clubs and seeing really bad drag queens getting themselves made up in restroom mirrors. Ghost's gonna have its work cut out for it finding something scarier in that setting .
