Urgent Pause Request
http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=57216

This game has 3 hours to go; Russia already missed last phase, and this will make the difference between draw/solo.

This Time On Philosohpy Weekly: What's The Point Of All This Nonsense?
The question everyone asks at one point or another..."Obi, what's the point of this bullshit thread you keep posting and these pedantic, poorly-punctuated posts?" ;) (O n an alliteration kick from my last set of papers.) ;)
But really, what's the point of philosophy? (Taken to mean "thinking about life" and whatever connotation it may carry for you.) And of life?
If there's a point to all this, a goal--what is it? And if not...well, why bother, brother? ;)

Anyone up for a live game tonight?
There seems less than usual enthusiasm for an evening live game so I was wondering if anyone hadn't been on the thread and wants to play?

What happens, if someone doesn't draw?
Hi,
a game gets to a point where nobody has the possibility to successfully attack any more territories. What happens, if someone doesn't draw the game? Will it run endless?

In-Game Computer Error
Game 59233.
Italy was to move Army Piedmont to Marseilles, supported by Fleet Lyon. Army Venice was to move to Piedmont. I double-checked my orders less than 3 hours before the turn progressed, and am absolutely confident that they reflected this precisely. Help?

Hardest country to play in Diplomacy?
In Classic Diplomacy, I'd say Austria. You have to put trust into quite a few alliances or arrangements. In Wilson and Gunboat Diplomacy I think the hardest is Germany, because everybody wants a piece of you. I think Italy is pretty tough too, but can be fun if played right. Flip side, easiest country, France.

Sequels You Wish Would Happen
Simple enough--what sequels for existing or old movie and/or TV franchises do you wish you could see?

No cheating the Reaper--so as much as I'd love to see another Marx Borthers movie, that's out--but other than that...any adventures you wish your favorite movie heroes could still go on?

The two I can think of right now:

-Indiana Jones 5 (Indy 4 was OK, not great, and not the horrible abomination some make it out to be, in my opinion...Nuking The Fridge and Space Aliens are two big leaps of faith, and pretty implausible...but to me, if the guy can survive the Ark of the Covenant's Holym Demons, getting his heart torn out while beating and having it placed back in, no problem, and curing his dad Sean Connery with the Holy Grail, I can take that leap. That being said, Indy needs one more movie, I think, to send him off in style...Harrison Ford's still willing, and I'd like to see it happen before it's too late--I've always hoped Indy would go on one of the Ancient Greek quests, he's already done my other mythological favorite with the Holy Grail and getting the Ark was a great one as well...how about "Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Medusa's Head" or "Indiana Jones and the Labrynth of the Minotaur?" THAT would be a way to go out!)

-Star Trek 12 (OBviously it's coming out next year...I hear they might remake the TOS episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" in part, where Kirk's friend Gary Mitchell gets god-like powers and goes mad with power...and I think that'd be a great way to go--but I want the Klingons back, damnit, as bad guys! Maybe hunting down the Vulcans!)

Freaks & Greeks, although it wouldn't really work since every character is 10 years older, the one kid is a 25 year old on Bones.

Masters of the Universe. Skeletor evidently never got the chance to get his revenge.
I'm really surprised more hasn't been done with the He-Man meme.

Neverending Story. The damn story ended. WTF.

Princess Bride. Return of the Spaniard.

Which reminds me of another tv show - Dead Like Me. Also, the original Office probably ended too soon. Arrested Development as well.

I get the feeling He-Man won't be made again any time soon...

What with the homo-phobia in half the USA, a show with a ridiculous--and hilarious--amount of gay overtones is NOT being made...though I will say I think it'd be hilarious of someone badass like my former governor The Governator played the part! XD

"though I will say I think it'd be hilarious of someone badass like my former governor The Governator played the part! XD"

Thank God that's no longer likely to happen ever again...

"Arrested Development as well."

An Arrested Development movie has been in pre-production for about three years now. Unfortunately, that is likely more discouraging than encouraging.

King Conan with Arnold in the role. Not a remake of CtB with someone else like is coming out this summer.

And we need another Die Hard movie. Bruce Willis can still pull it off.

Finally, Magnum PI as a series. They've done well with Hawaii 5-0.

Bah homophobia is on its last legs. Glee is a wildly popular show. Bravo is a wildly popular tv channel. Gay themes are becoming increasingly prevalent throughout cinema and television.

I would've liked to see the originally planned seasons 3-6 of Carnivale. I would've also liked to've seen them squeezed into just 3 seasons (anyone who has seen the show will understand).

@ Putin - I love Dead Like Me, but the attempt to revive it with a movie didn't work. Neither Daisy nor Rube came back. Daisy was played by another actress and wasn't completely awful, but Rube wasn't there at all, and the show doesn't even remotely work without him. = (

There was talk of doing a sequel to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which was a surprisingly clever neo noir pastiche starring Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer (the only good movie I've ever seen him in). The original was smart enough that I think if they could get the same writers, they could avoid the pitfalls that a lot of sequels fall into. Sadly because the movie flopped at the box office for some reason (trust me it's actually good!) said sequel will likely never materialize. Still. Would be nice.

I'd like to see some new Star Wars movies. They make a ton of good series books that could be turned into trio's.

I think a new Indiana Jones would simply suck like the newest one.

Seriously? You've never seen Top Gun? If you aren't a fan of Burton's vision of Batnan, I can get not liking Batman Forever although I think Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey made great villians. So over the top and so much fun.
Mafialligator (239 D)
22 May 11 UTC
Yes, I've never seen top gun. It's a little before my time. I wasn't born yet when it was released, and I've never really felt like seeing it, since I'd have to go out of my way to do so. Batman Forever has it's moments but overall I just found it silly and cheesy and kitchy for no reason. I don't mind Burton's interpretation of Batman, it had it's moments. What I can't handle is Joel Schumacher's version of Batman.
Draugnar (0 DX)
22 May 11 UTC
I guess I enjoyed Schumacher's first go round
But I agree when it comes to Batman and Robin. It just sucked.

Mr. Sulu Takes On "Don't Say Gay" Bill: "It's OK To Be Takei!"
I had to psot this, as a Trek fan, and just because of the sheer hilarity...and because I back Takei on this.

Tennesse's proposed "Don't Say Gay" bill for classroom conduct is a joke, and a bigotted one at that--so Mr. Sulu has a backup plan... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dRkIWB3HIEs
