Family went to Coco last night.


Family went to Coco last night. Pretty great, teared up once, par for the Pixar course. But that Frozen “short” before the movie started was fucking terrible. After a few minutes Abby and I were just discussing if we were sorcerous monarchs whether we’d use our powers for good or rule with an icy fist. Turns out we should not be trusted with power.

    Apparently it was supposed to be a special on ABC, in the tradition of terrible animated holiday specials.

    It is interesting how different the reviews of the short are under different circumstances. In the UK the short is running before a re-released Frozen and, everyone loves it. Here it runs before Coco and....not so much.

    Ha! I read there were so many complaints in Mexico they stopped showing it all together.

    It's culturally jarring as well. I was there to watch Mexico and I got Norway?

    I dug the short before the newest cars movie. The one about the lost-and-found box at the playground. That was pretty great.

    My daughter and I left Frozen agreeing that "Frost Queen in the Frozen North" had a nice ring to it...

    Jeremy Murphy Oh shit. So... The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the sequel to Frozen?

    Sansa Stark has nothing on the Ice Queen in the North... Clearly neither my daughter, nor myself could be trusted with that power...

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
