    I just watched the GenCon pre-release version of the last film in the "Gamers" series, "The Gamers: Dorkness Falls." Projected release date is Spring of next year. Even with a bunch of effects missing and it still being in need of some audio balancing, I loved it. Except for one thing. This guy...

    I thought folks here might find this interesting.

    Not Ontario, but relevant to this board. Don't be a dick, especially not to a senior citizen. He could have been killed. I hope that Hyabusa boy ends up with some serious repercussions. (guessing on the bike)

    Last episode ever of "Resident Alien" tonight, as it got cancelled. That really sucks as I've really been enjoying it, and I was hoping for a 5 season arc. Tudyk is a bloody comedy genius and deserves an ongoing show. I really need to hunt down season 2 of his webseries "Com Man" as I was a...

    Thought that I'd give "Renegade Nell" another watch (D+), before "Wednesday" season 2 drops, on Wednesday. Nell could have well done with another couple of seasons. Good stuff.

    "In the Lost Lands" - I can see what they were going for, but it's a huge miss.

    @MacDoc - The last episode of "Sandman" was probably the best of the lot and it stands on its own.

    I enjoyed it, and have a copy of "Preludes and Nocturnes" somewhere, but he's done. The star does a very good job of depicting Dream. I was curious how they would handle the voice and it just seems to be the actors own voice, instead of any sort of manipulation, which I appreciated. The way they...

    The last episode of "Sandman" has dropped. It was cancelled after the issues with Neil Gaiman came to light.

    "Fantastic 4: First Steps" - Really good for this old comic book collector from back in the '70s. They do the Galactis story with a few twists from later versions, and without being slavish to the original. The production esthetic is the 1970s, as predicted by the 1960s. Well worth seeing. I...

    I have director and editor friends who looked at the barrel scenes and immediately picked out that they were shot on GoPro. Then they pointed out to me where you could see the flaws in costume and makeup, because of the resolution and frame rates that they chose. That very likely had an effect...

    I agree. They took a nice little story, that could have easily been written into a single movie, then dragged it out in "Spaceballs: The Search for More Money" fashion. I'm off this week, so I think that I'll go to an afternoon showing of "Fantastic 4."

    The guy running behind the cops and recording is also lucky he didn't get shot.

    And if the stated penalty can't expect to be imposed, then the surety has no pressing reason to act appropriately.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    In this context, the law doesn't differentiate between crimes. He would have been assessed for risk of flight and, presumably, found to be at minimal risk for it. His surety is responsible for him and any bail is supposed to be forfeit, as a result of his flight. At least that's the theory. In...

    The intent is to get your life in order, before going away. In reality this sort of thing isn't rare.

    They put them up on a road that runs next to my complex. It's a good choice for me to use when coming back from a local mall, because it means I can make a right to get to my home instead of a left. A 40 Kmh limit. I found out the hard way, that they had installed speed bumps, when doing exactly...

    So Waterloo chose to feed the vultures and now they're angry that they're multiplying.

    Waterloo Regional Police use digital encryption for their communications. Maybe the tow drivers picked up on fire department communications, as I don't think those are encrypted yet, but it would have been worth looking in the cabs of those tow trucks.

    I saw it when it first came out, while on vacation in Seattle. Watch for when they use "Dutch Angle." That's typically when he's having a dissociative break.
