    I'm just getting around to listening to this week's ep and I realized that for yers I've had Judgement Night and Freejack confused. I thought Freejack was Emilio Estevez and Cuba Gooding Jr on the run from Denis Leary and Judgement Night was Emilio Estevez in the future.

     

    I'm having a hard time reconciling this in my brain.

    I learned on 3.5 and then moved over to Pathfinder. I started with a group running 5e back in like September or October and I'm really enjoying it, at least at the lower levels. But it is pretty balanced, we ran a session with a couple of wizards, a necromancer, and one other non=fighter and did okay. I'm running a Elf Bladesinger, so I kind of fell into the fighter/tank role role.

     

    Also the 16th or the 9th should work for me.

    Thanks, Grud-bud!

     

    Still sick, but I wanted to ask: who would want to watch this movie high? Is it just the music? Because the images are straight up nightmare-fuel.

     

    I watched it high in 96 I think it was, because I thought it was expected you watch this kind of movie high. It was...disturbing. I didn't abandon ship but it stayed with me a long long time.

    re: WSS I'm guessing Spielberg will want to use Lin-Manuel Miranda in some aspect.

     

    My biggest concern is that you have a story that features Latinx characters being written and directed by Tony Kushner and Steven Spielberg. Not that the original was better in that regard, but in this day and age, there is no reason for a Latinx shouldn't be involved in the creative process.

     

    On the other hand, ever since the Anything Goes number of Temple of Doom, I've always thought Spielberg should direct a musical.

    My libraries have a heartbreaking lack of 80's movies for me to "enjoy".

     

    Sidenote - Any comedy podcasts you guys would recommend? Right now I listen to:

    - How Did This Get Made

    - My Dad Wrote a Porno

    - Little Podcast on the Prairie

    - Wait Wait Don't Tell Me

    - Says You

    - The Read

    - Welcome to Nightvale

     

    I really like LAST PODCAST ON THE LEFT, WE HATE MOVIES, and GILMORE GUYS (well right now it's MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL GOYS and Alice Vetturland is co-hosting, but it's on the Gilmore Guys feed).

    I really enjoyed this movie but (like most of Shakespeare's comedies) I enjoyed the commoners more then I enjoyed I the "nobility" and I think it's obvious Branagh does do as he cast the better actors, the more classically trained in those roles (Lane, Spall, Briers, McEwan, etc). I will say, this is the movie that made me go pause on the Lillard hate (I have yet to see SLC Punk--SORRY!).

     

    I'm glad you brought up Branagh's Hamlet Cameron, because that was my thought too. Hamlet is a sweeping 4-hour, not a single word cut film that takes place on the cusp of World War 1. this is a sweeping, hour and a half light musical comedy heavily cut set (ostensibly) at the cusp of WW2. It's interesting to me, too, because I just finished acting in Hamlet (It was a recorded podcast drama that I also edited. I can provide a link if anyone wants). I wonder if Branagh was making a statement about how we went from War to the roaring 20s back to war.

     

    Of the nobles that surprised me was Adrian Lester. I also appreciated that Branaugh went with mixed race couples. the number that worked the least for me was the masquerade ball scene, it just seemed too sexualized for this particular time period.

     

    From a Shakespearan perspective, I will say that making LLL makes a lot of sense as music plays an important part in the finale.

     

    I also had to wonder, having read Kevin Smith's blogs from around this time, if Weinstein pushed for Silverstone and Lillard to be in this? Smith talks about how Weinstein pushed him to cast Reese Witherspoon in Dogma (I think it was--I'd have to google this). Silverstone and Lillard were pretty hot commodities at Miramax at this time, again IIRC and while Lillard held his own, Silverstone seemed out of place. I also have to wonder if they had had more then 3 weeks rehearsal if that would have made a difference.

     

    Minor trivia! Branagh's role (Berwone) is believed to have been played by Will himself back in the day.

    Right, but that still doesn't help me understand how Jonah knew about Nic Cage.

    I can understand how Nic Cage knew about Jonah and his cult members since Nic Cage has been viewing hell's "videofeed" of his daughter's life. At Bull By The Balls, I could've sworn that Nic Cage's driver's license said he was born in 1951. He was supposed to be "40" in this movie, so he must have died in 1991, right? And he left behind a baby daughter? So by the time he breaks out of hell jail (the movie comes on in 2011), ~20 years have passed. Long enough time for his daughter to grow up into adulthood and have a baby of her own. So did Jonah know Nic Cage from 20 years ago? Also, at one point Jonah says that Nic Cage is going to stop the cult's plan to bring hell on Earth. Who told him that??

     

    I THINK the implication was that Jonah was tapping into his "satanic-magic" (or we the audience are supposed to belive that) so that when The Accountant (William Fitchner version NOT Ben Affleck version) reveals that Satan is just a nice guy who doesn't like child sacrifice and is just like the Warden from Orange is the New Black, we, the audience are supposed to forget that Jonah has these Satan powers.

     

    What should have happened was introducing a third denzien of hell who is helping Jonah because he wants to overthrow hell or something. I don't know. It makes no sense.
