That MI was awesome. I'm normally bored halfway through most of them but this one...I was gripped! And that train scene off the edge of the cliff...talk about cliffhangers...amazing.

Dead Reckoning was so good! I appreciated seeing Sauron get more work in Hollywood, playing another Dark Lord visualized by a giant eye who can only be destroyed by casting the Ring into the volcano...er, I mean the Key into the Source Code.

I love reading about your D&D love affair. My brother played and I would always insinuate myself in the games (being the younger sibling) and that had mixed-to-terrible-results...for me. Read: There was nothing cool about being cast as a cleric in the 80s versions of these campaigns. ANYWAY...D&D was such a specific part of a certain type of growing up in the 80s--I wonder if you'd consider writing more about it..maybe a memoir in essays kind of format that also delves into the history, culture, and significance of the game? Yes, I did just give you homework! You're welcome. Regarding Night Country: I loved it. I think it maybe needed one more episode in the middle as it sort of rushed to the conclusion, but overall I thought it was one of the more satisfying True Detective pieces. And yes, more Jodi Foster please!!!
