One of the reasons I like have individual physical comic books issues is that it's like a time machine to that era looking at the ads and promotions. Also the stuff that Marvel wants everyone to forget like how much they promoted Malibu Comics and Heroes Reborn

There is literally an episode of Max Headroom with this premise, a church which promised digital copies of deceased loved ones that turned out to be little more than video loops

Fantastic article. I will say that Howling Wilderness does actually have text that gives the specifics of every nuclear strike on the US, even though the map itself gives no indication of this information.

As someone who is deeply interested in the historical threat of nuclear war, lifelong TTRPG player and someone who owns practically all the Twilight: 2000 game supplements old and new, this makes me very happy. I will be reading this shortly!

I get it, I'm working on a story where a main character worked developing an early campaign setting for D&D in the 70s and I've wasted an inordinate amount of time on working out the details of it

Honestly, I'm not sure - the producer was someone who worked on almost every one of the Friday the 13th movies. The name was deliberately changed from The 13th Hour to Friday the 13th to cash in on familiarity with the movies, but how they managed that, IDK.

The Friday the 13th show actually had nothing to do with the movie franchise, it was all about a group of people trying to retrieve cursed artifacts sold from an antique store

Personally, I love the story of how it was made: "Hey, we want to make a cyberpunk movie." "No, you're going to make a Super Mario Brothers movie, because that's money in the bank." "Fine. Say, are you going to check in on us?" "No, why do you ask?" "No reason"

Not going to lie, if I was there I would 100% open the gate, likely before she was even done with the threats

If they're truly obsessed with bringing back Craig's Bond as a character despite being killed off in a definitive way, maybe they should look into the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

THE END OF THE WORLD: A HISTORY. Selection of historical events with a broad definition of 'the end', starting with the fall of Rome and ending with Hiroshima and the Holocaust, bookended by sections on the Thera eruption and the threat of nuclear war.

I'm pretty sure at this point that they've come down with a bad case of Cinematic Universe-itis, and they want to use the Craig Bond movies as the foundations, with a new actor playing exactly the same character

Halloween III solution: Have a new James Bond and in the background of one scene someone is watching one of the Connery or Moore Bond movies on TV

When I was a kid we literally had two different James Bonds at the same time and I didn't think twice about it, I don't get why this is such a problem all of a sudden

Look, just do something like the original Casino Royale movie. 12 radically different Bonds, all in the same film

I was rather naive about this growing up because I was introduced to D&D in 1978 by my 2nd grade gifted teacher, who was female, who ran it every Friday for her class which was a mix of people that uniformly thought it was the best thing ever

I will always appreciate Alan Moore's take in LoEG, in that each movie Bond was just another person with the 'title', and the original, based personality-wise on Fleming's Bond, was an out-and-out villain who is killed at the very end of the series by Emma Peel

It's bizarre considering the first time they switched to a new Bond they had him break the fourth wall and say to the audience "This never happened to the other guy"
