The moon signs are pretty inconsequential. Other than the special locations they open, there's not much of a difference between them, and no prize for trying them all.
Bad Moon is very different, as it's a type of extra-hard hardcore.

You could invite me. I'll catch the next plane out. Catching a game on a Friday night at Coors Field is not something to miss.

I'm going to the game tonight. The Rockies fan in me says, "This'll be great, no matter who wins!" The Cubs fan in me says, "This is going to suck. No matter what happens, one of my favorite teams is going to lose."
I need help.

The Rockies are 7-2, and both of their losses were in extra innings. It's early, but Tulo and CarGo are dominating. The starters are 5-0. Street has 5 saves. And all with Ubaldo on the DL (he comes back next week). If you love baseball, you have to see these guys play. Now they're 10-2, with a 3-game series coming up against the hapless Cubs. In all 4 games against the Mets, they were down at least 2 runs, but still swept them. It's like September of 2007 all over again: they play like they know they're going to win every game. As a lifelong Cubs fan, I don't know how to react to this type of play.

Poor Ricky did all he could to impress her. Ahem. Back to the thread. I was thinking about the cops in some of these movies. "The Crawling Hand", "Teenage Strangler", and "Attack of the Eye Creatures" come immediately to mind as examples of cops who are a bit too friendly with the suspects, and don't do a very legal job. How many violations of habeus corpus and search & seizure laws are in these flicks?

I ascend like a madman, but that's because I want more permed skills. I didn't start shooting for level 30 or other big-stat stuff until at least 50 ascensions. Leveling up to 30 takes a long time, and possibly a lot of meat.
If you do ascend, casual is a waste of time. Normal is fun, but you can't bring the skills into hardcore. If you finish a HC ascension, then your skills are good in HC or Normal. The problem is that you can't use the Mall or your stash in HC, so it's a bit more of a grind. I would say ascend into HC, and you can drop it if it's not your thing.
But it all depends on what you want. I like the ascension-based prizes more than high-level stuff.

Twins drop two straight to the Jays to open the season. Today, they were one-hit by Doug Drabek's kid. As Harry Doyle said: "That's all we got? One #$@%$@#$@# hit?" You can't say #$@%$@#$@# on the air!

I think they over sold Hypnoheliostaticstasis in Radar Secret Service. I didn't find it nearly as dull as the Rock Climbing scenes in Lost Continent. I actually like RSS. Agreed. RSS was a fun movie. I remember thinking that they made too big a deal out of the Deep Hurting in "Hercules Against the Moon Men". Yeah, the sandstorm was rough, but it wasn't that bad. And since no one agrees with me, here are 15 movies worse than "The Castle of Fu Manchu" off the top of my head: Mad Monster Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy Corpse Vanishes Hellcats Ring of Terror Monster A Go-Go Manos Wild World of Batwoman Atomic Brain Creeping Terror Red Zone Cuba Skydivers Beast of Yucca Flats Incredibly Strange Creatures... Blood Waters of Dr. Z I'd enjoy an unriffed Fu much more than an unriffed any of those.

I absolutely agree about "Fu Manchu". I think people think of it as a worse film than it actually was because of the commentary in the host segments. I think at least a dozen episodes had worse films than "Fu". Possibly more.

Do you remember if it was black and white or color? A Joel or a Mike episode? Unless I'm mistaken (which I very well might be) I BELIEVE it was a Joel show. Not that I particularly remember Joel or Mike in the episode, but because I believe chronologically that this was the first episode (or one of the first episodes) I'd ever seen, and I BELIEVE I got into the show before Mike took over as host, since I have memories of being a fan before Mike stepped in and thinking "I'm not so sure about this new guy". But you guys are off the hook for this, unless you're having fun with it. I have a lot of episodes I haven't seen since they were originally on TV that I should be watching regardless of this quest, and it's probably in one of those shows. Appreciate it! A LOT! It took me a couple of days, but it's not in Manhunt in Space.

I love Harry Potter. You could say they are derivative and formulaic, but aren't all novels standing on the shoulders of others, so to speak? Sure. But there's a difference between "standing on the shoulders" and "blatant lifting of character & story ideas." For fun: www.sporcle.com/games/QuizMaster20/LOTR_HPBut I don't mind when the end product is still great. The Black Crowes are just a rip-off of the Stones and Zeppelin, but I still enjoy their albums. Often more than the originals from whom they are lifting.

Derivative and formulaic.
Those are the two best words I can think of to describe the HP books.
But I still love 'em.
Shoot, most of the music I like is derivative and formulaic, but it can still be interesting and memorable and fun.
