    Iron Man 3 was nominated for what?

    And the Oscar for most boring superhero movie goes to... IRON MAN 3

    SCIENCE OVEN! "Bring something into this house that’s gonna take all the nutrition out of our food and then light our house on fire?  Thank God for me."

    Keith Senkowski visual effects. Yet Pacific Rim was not.

    Not that I want to spoil American Hustle, but here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/07/american-hustle-paul-brodeur_n_4555403.html

    Apparently, Paul Brodeur wrote the movie studio a strongly worded letter saying that he didn't say microwaves take all the nutrition out of food and that the movie damaged his scientific reputation!

    OMG I never fucking heard of him before this movie.

    What this list proves:
    1. I don't give a shit about "important" or prestige movies anymore.
    2. My wife and I rarely get to go on dates.
    3. I'll go to any animated movie.

    Christopher Hatty Jennifer Lawrence and the science oven saved American Hustle for me. Cheap knock-off Scorsese movie with great acting.

    I was just thinking about how few remarkable movies seem to have come out last year.

    I liked both Gravity and the Superman reboot though. I can't really remember anything else off the top of my head.

    Oh and Thor 2 was quite good.

    Two more reasons the special effects category is fucked: Thor and Superman.

    Gravity should win, but seriously.

    I only ever seem to see nominees on accident.

    I did enjoy American Hustle, but I think it's because I like very stylized movies.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
