The Hall of Fire

I enjoy P&P&Z as well. The fight scenes were well done.

The first five are very entertaining. In a 60/70s fantasy way. And the good part is, unlike, Martin, Zelazney actually finished this series before he died. My favorite Zelazny is "Doorways In The Sand", not part of this series. I'd watch this. There are no dragons, though (that I can recal...

There seems to be a discrepancy in the release date. https://www.amazon.com/Painted-Queen-LP-Amelia-Peabody/dp/0062201360/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1468945523&sr=8-3&keywords=amelia+peabody The headline says "July 15, 2017" and the little details further down say: "July 5, 20...

I totally think that Sansa took personal responsibility for Ramsay's death-by-hound. She stood there and watched, she started to turn away before the dogs began to tear in to him, but then looked straight at him while that one tore his face off. She didn't turn away in fear or shame or for any reaso...

I saw the Symphony and quite enjoyed it. I bought the live performance CD. Kaitlyn Lusk was the singer on "Into the West" and I think I liked her version more than Annie Lennox. She has more depth to her voice, I think.

But I've never seen the live film score, that sounds cool.

My hearing is crappy and I can't even hear the difference between MP3s and full resolution CDs. I blame Eric Clapton, back in the 70s, I was at a Clapton show and stood right in front the speaker stack. Bad idea. But for bluegrass, I'm a fan of Allison Krause, and liked Mr. Stanley's live stuff. One...

Much better than I thought it would be, but my expectations were not very high to start with. I've never played the game so I don't know what relation this story is to the game. But the story was somewhat typical for a Sword & Sorcery movie. It was better than that horrible Dungeons and Dragons ...

I also think it's a staggeringly dumb idea. New creators on old properties seem to want to make drastic changes to give their own "interpretation" of the classic character. Some times it works, like Miller's the Dark Knight (though that was an alternate history) or Perez' Wonder Woman. And...

I saw the Captain America movie. It was entertaining, but nothing like the first Avengers or the first Thor movie. And I'm still mystified why Ant-Man is a character in these movies. Why pick Ant-Man of all things Marvel they could choose from? My personal choice would have been She-Hulk (Sensationa...

Agent Carter was an awesomely entertaining show. You can't take your eyes off of Atwell, she is mesmerizing as Peggy Carter. They ended it with somewhat of a cliffhanger, but nothing too frustrating. People are trying to get it back on Netflix: https://www.change.org/p/netflix-save-agent-carter-brin...

Episode 2 had some major plot advancement. And, in what may be a first for GOT, no nudity.

Saw it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Wonder Woman was the best part of it. Though Affleck was pretty good as Bats, he was better as Bruce Wayne.

That Noel one is obviously about the birth of Jesus, but the first two sections talking about the wind "whistled bitter-cold and free" and "The lord of snows" seem highly incongruous for the subject, since Jesus was born in Bethlehem, not much bitter cold or snow. But it does mak...

I am quite looking forward to this. Supergirl is one of my favorite characters in comics. I am not fond of the darker costume based on the Superman movie. But Benoit seems like she is capable. I've been watching this religiously. I am enjoying it immensely. The cast (Benoist especially) is very goo...

I had thought that in the first book Lessa and F'Lar were involved during the mating flights of their dragons. It's been a while since I read them. My son is now reading them. As for a movie/show, way back in 1979 I asked McCaffery about it and she said they were going to do it live action - imminen...

There has been LOTR slot machines in Vegas for at least four years, if not more. I play them occasionally. Last time I played at the Aria I came out ahead nearly $300.

From 1968. Republished 10/21/15 by the Guardian: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/tolkien-interview-its-easier-to-film-the-odyssey/ He feels strongly that the Ring should not be filmed: “You can’t cramp narrative into dramatic form. It would be easier to film The Odyssey. Much less happens i...

This looks very interesting. I wish it had been around for when Christopher had done HOME. I'd just like to see a hi-res scan of it!
