Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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.

The first three episodes of The Mighty Nein were good (though they're going dark right away with some stuff.) Very different from the start of the Actual Play but I actually like most of the changes. They're tightening up some character arcs and seem to be setting up a more logical progression to where things up. (Which makes sense, since we as viewers have different story expectations from an actual scripted media than we do from an improvised story with dice.)

Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth from some parts of fandom about some of the changes. But that's pretty much expected for any adaptation.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I’m enjoying The Mighty Nein. I didn’t watch the Actual Play, so I had no particular expectations going in.

The Mighty Nein campaign was probably my favorite of the three APs they've done so far, so I'm really enjoying seeing it come to life, even if its very different in parts.

I think Molly and Beau have gotten the biggest glow ups from AP to series. Early Beau was very aimless and overall unpleasant, so I'm liking them giving her a goal and a bit more heart right away and Molly was very inconsistent (as was his accent) until Taliesin found his groove with the character.

Regarding episode 4, Fjord wanting to Nope Out from anything horror-coded will never not be funny to me. Travis Willingham is built like an action hero but is also a big baby when it comes to horror, which I can empathize with so his/Fjord 's reaction to those situations are always entertaining.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

SO, the Last Airbender movie was originally supposed to be released in theaters.

BUT, at some point during its production, Paramount announced that the movie was going to be streaming only. Which SUCKS, because I’m not going to be signing up for Paramount+ any time soon.

BUT, a couple of weeks ago Paramount (quietly) announced that they would be showing the film at one theater in Burbank and one theater in NYC for one week, in order to qualify for awards.

BUT, when I tried to get a ticket the theater’s web site was slammed, and I wasn’t able to get through before it all sold out. Bummer. I thought I wouldn’t be able to see the movie, at least for a couple of years until the Ellisons go bankrupt.

BUT, last night, the theater added MORE screenings, and I was able to finally get a ticket! Yay!

The movie looks SICK, by the way.
