Fun fact: This was actor and contortionist Doug Jones’s first role.

Something like this happened to me once before. I sent a pm to the tracker staff to ask about it; they responded that a leecher had a borked client causing it to repeatedly download the torrent again. I suspect something like that is what is happening here.

I live in one of the states that required a prescription. I drove across state lines last week to get my booster shot. Looks like if I had waited a little longer I could have saved myself a three hour round trip.

Forgive the pedantry. It’s *taut.

This is my first time encountering his work. When I read the title of this post, I interpreted it as “artwork title - credited artist”. so I thought that “the internet’s sweetheart (for understandable reasons)” was the title of the artwork in the thumbnail.

It would indeed be perfectly understandable why that crawling mummy thing would be the internet’s sweetheart though.

Didn’t it take Stephen king something like 30 years to finish his dark tower series?

I believe op is referring to Bakshi’s Fire and Ice, not martin’s books. The rest of your point still stands though.

I recommend the book On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers. Sounds like it’s exactly what you’re looking for.

Honestly? You’d be surprised at how helpful it can be. I’ve sent routes with a slight buzz that I never could have done completely sober. It helps take the edge off the fear, and it helps you stay loose and keeps you from sapping all your strength from tensing too much. Every advantage helps when you’re pressing your limits.

Climbing while excessively drunk is of course a terrible idea.

Yosemite national park, for me.

I enjoying it well enough to keep watching. I’ve found it a slight improvement over the first season, but I’ll reserve judgment til it’s finished airing. I don’t mind most of the changes made to the story so far, or at least the ones that have stood out enough from my hazy recollection of the book for me to notice, but a few have been unnecessary and have the characters acting out of character. I find rand and perrin irritating, but the other characters are fine. I agree that it is fun seeing this world brought to life and visualized. That’s been the most enjoyable part of the show for me so far.

Happy birthday moop!

Thank you all. This was very helpful.

Horror of Dracula, prince of darkness, taste the blood of Dracula, and Dracula has risen from the grave are the best of the bunch. Highly recommend all of them.

Brides of Dracula is kind of bad, but charmingly so. It doesn’t have Christopher Lee, and I don’t remember if Peter Cushing is in it either, and I’m too lazy right now to link over to IMDb to confirm. I think I read somewhere that this one was rushed into production to cash in on the surprise success of horror of Dracula, and it shows.

Legend of the 7 golden vampires is probably my personal favorite, but it’s hard to defend as actually being good. This was a co production with the Shaw brothers studio in Hong Kong, and has some of their roster of stars - if you’ve watched Shaw bros movies from this era you will recognize a few faces - but no Christopher Lee, who had at this point been very vocal about his frustration with declining quality and quit the series. Lots of Kung fu action in this one, choreographed by the always amazing Lau Kar Leung. It that’s not your cup of tea you should skip this one.

Lee wasn’t wrong about the declining quality. Dracula 1972 ad and satanic rites are both pretty skippable. They’re not outright bad, just kind of dull.

It doesn’t have dracula, but I highly recommend another hammer vampire movie: captain kronos, vampire hunter.

In case you are curious, it was adapted from a story by John W Campbell.

I may be wrong about this, but I believe the ward cost becomes part of the the casting cost of the spell, and if you don’t have any creatures, you aren’t able to cast the spell.

Me too, Doran. Me too.

You mean to tell me that 2008 was 17 years ago? This makes me deeply unhappy.

I loved the first one! I’m on board for a sequel. More than likely it will be a case of diminishing returns, but if it’s even half as clever and fun as the first was I’ll be satisfied.
