It seems like most of the games set in the era are of the live-action type, doesn't it? I wonder how much of the blame for the failure of the titles was put on the setting instead of the format, and if that's why they don't make so many golden era games anymore. And speaking of golden era...

(Spoilers) My only gripe with it is Spock's little smirk at the climax. He goes from one moment engaged in a suicide mission to take revenge on the man who killed his mother and most of his race, to the next cracking a joke and smirking about it (when Kirk tells him he thought Spock would...

I haven't played any of these, and they're out of print, but: Private Eye The Dame Was Loaded Heart of China Ripley's Believe it or Not: The Riddle of Master Lu (set in 1936) A resourceful person (or a person with Google) might be able to find them ;)

If Transformers 2 really is doing as well as I've been hearing, I'm afraid a LaBeouf lead's going to look even more appealing to the suits. As for who could replace Harrison Ford, I don't think anybody could. I think too much of Indiana Jones's character is Harrison Ford's near-pantomime in...

The Notorious Bettie Page, which was surely a hot topic around here upon release! It felt to me more like a whitewashed tribute than a biopic (which I thought was pretty ironic, considering the theme of the movie -- were they afraid we'd judge Bettie?), but I thought Gretchen Mol was marvelous...

Personally, I blame Michael Caine. Leaving Sylvester Stallone, Marky Mark and Jude Law to correct all his mistakes! Shameful.

I guess technically they're a live comedy troupe, but most of us will only see them perform in video, hence: the moving picture! http://www.theapplesisters.com/ (I thought for sure there'd be a thread about them, but I didn't find anything in my search -- sorry if I'm wrong!)

Don't blame the Chinese! We asked for it. Demanded it, even.

I love this thread! Call me shallow, but if I was looking for a delivery service and saw "Lickety Split," you'd be my man! lol I think I'm going to have to take "chocks away." I think my aviation-buff dad would've appreciated it. It's a goodie.

Congratulations, cool buy! I've been looking at similar watches on eBay. Very Victorian/"steampunk," I thought.

DC's been releasing collected volumes of their earliest superhero comics and I jumped at Batman (beginning in '39). They're AWFUL as anything other than a cultural artifact (but I guess that's why we're all here!). As a funny aside, I was researching another 1930's comic book character, "The...

I agree with reetpleat. I think history will judge us harshly that we even had this debate. And hey, I got spanked in the Piggly Wiggly once for putting jars of peanut butter in the shopping cart -- and I like peanut butter more than ever! Spanking is a poor deterrent! lol

I was until this moment completely ignorant of Spong! Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks for posting, McPeppers! I hadn't heard about this (those lazy slobs at IGN are still on vacation, apparently). (On a side note, does anybody remember the name of the "Commandos"-like, isometric-view mafia game for the PC from a few years back?)

lol I'm with you, buddy.
