Re: Nico's Review of "The Creator"
I REALLY wanted to love this film. I looked at its OW box office, and had the same sense I had with "Gran Turino" and "The Last Voyage of the Demeter": This is a criminally overlooked film, and an ESSENTIAL cinematic experience, in a year where even well-budgeted prestige films can be overshadowed b...

Nico's Review of "The Creator"
I Posted this on my Facebook Wall a little while ago. I can't stop thinking about how much I wish I could call Patrick and chat with him for an hour or so about this film. I think he would have liked it SLIGHTLY more than me. Maybe, one day, I'll find out. :) https://youtu.be/573GCxqkYEg?si=vIlk644w...

For Patrick
In Remembrance of Patrick Hodges When I first "met" Patrick, it was online, and, fittingly, it was through the written word -- his, and mine -- that our over 15-year fellowship began. It was 2005, and at that time I authored a regular column for a Website called 'Fantasy Moguls', that featured writi...

Re: The Obligatory Fantaversian Birthday Thread
It is somehow fitting that Patrick's last Post to these Forums, was a list of upcoming celebrity and public-figure birthdays, and that those of us who can are now considering getting together in his name, on HIS birthday (or around then) in August. Regardless, we will not forget YOUR birthday, Shryk...

Re: The Obituary Thread
Fellow Fantaversians, I am just heartbroken. Patrick, a.k.a. Shrykespeare, who I called, variously, "Shrykey", "Shrykester", and "Shrykey-pooh" -- that last, probably no more than once, at least, publicly, but he never let me forget it :D -- was my great good friend, my handpicked successor, and, fo...

"Whatever Happened To...?"
Apologies if this thread duplicates or is redundant to one that's already created and active, but I had a "Gee, I haven't seen ________ in anything in quite a long time" moment the other day, and thought it might make for an interesting series of exchanges. So: Whatever happened to GEORGE DZUNDZA? O...

Re: IT'S BAAAAACK!! Ultimate League JUL-SEP (test league)
Yep, GREAT call, that. I was also interested in "Summertime", but I ended up not valuing it as greatly (or, correctly). Nice one, Boushh.

Re: IT'S BAAAAACK!! Ultimate League JUL-SEP (test league)
Mmm. Well, as a robustly "right-wing" cinema aficianado, I DESPISE the "Purge" films. I saw the first one, and half, roughly, of the second, and it's just American neo-Wild West anarchy-gospel murder porn. It is to politics, what the "Saw" series is to sadism, what "Natural Born Killers" was to mass...

Re: So-o-ooo... What's new? :D
On a (most) serious note: Did everyone, their families, and their most valued people, make it through The Plague Years unscathed? More than what folks have been "up to", I'm very concerned to have an answer to this question. We were, once, a decent-sized community (thanks, most of all, to Shryke), a...

Skrykey-kins, I missed that one, too. If you need a price for it, let me know, I'll PM one to you this evening.

Re: IT'S BAAAAACK!! Ultimate League JUL-SEP (test league)
Oh, I saw a trailer for that a couple weeks ago. Very "Cube"-meets-"Hunger Games", by way, maybe, of "Nerve". I might go see that one.

Re: So-o-ooo... What's new? :D
Glad to hear it, Tranny. In our area, movie theaters began opening back up in June of last year... We have been going, on average, three to four times a month, usually for kid-friendly re-releases. (I have snuck off a few times to see more adult-friendly fare, such as the grinding, excellent "Let Hi...
