The sequel to Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen is going to be Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriffs: Super Hero Taisen Z. A couple years from now you won’t be able to tweet the full name of that year’s Super Hero Taisen movie.

Letters from Whitechapel, coming soon from Fantasy Flight
Yup, I want to play the heck out of this. Basically, a grown-up version of Scotland Yard.

"The teenagers of the new generation grew up in a time of nerves. Newspapers screaming headlines of race riots, revolution, earthquake. Back of it all, speed. Everyone rushing nowhere to get nowhere, and for no reason. It’s a fast life, inspector. A whirlpool of speed and confusion, and all these kids are caught right in the middle of it."
—An astute observation on the youth of today.
…If today was 64 years ago. This little speech is from a judge in the 1949 movie The Devil’s Sleep. It’s amazing how some things never change.
Extra special bonus: The judge giving this speech is played by Lita Grey, Charlie Chaplin’s second wife. They married in Mexico, mainly because they thought she was knocked up and she was 16, meaning the 35-year-old Chaplin risked being arrested in America. This was in 1924. To hear Grey complain that the youth of the 1940s are out of control is pretty rich.
Extra extra special bonus: Don’t get too excited about the fact that a woman is being portrayed as a judge. The rest of the movie features constant misogyny of the most cruel and casual kind. The movie is about a gangster using a women’s gym as a front to distribute amphetamine pills to teens, and there are numerous “comedy” scenes, completely unrelated to the plot, about how the gym patrons are unattractive and/or stupid.

More #TabletopDay awesomeness
I was talking with my pal and Tabletop Day Super Make It All Happen Guy, Boyan, a bit earlier…
I’m planning on getting in as many games as humanly possible.

Aw yeah, Silver Centurion!

How is that even a genre?

The Dalek here is interesting. It’s not a Dalek Drone from the New Paradigm - those are a brighter red and have grey bumps. These guys were seen in Asylum of the Daleks during the Parliament scenes, in the back row near the Prime Minster. (Back Benchers of the Daleks? Shadow Cabinet of the Daleks?) They were always out-of-focus in their closest shots. I think this is the best view we’ve had of one.

I was watching the new Star Trek trailer, and I caught this bit. We see Cumby in a sky car of some sort, strafing the Admiral’s meeting. As the camera pans around him at the end, you can see that little fireflies are surrounding his head. Is he transporting out, or is he dropping some sort of camouflage to reveal some other identity? I could be convinced of both.

I love the idea that Braddock sits around in his downtime in full costume, sipping tea from comically small cups.

Oh yeah, OG Marvel UK represent!
Not sure how his being 30 feet tall again squares with his being shrunk by the Doctor back in the day. Or being killed. Twice. Maybe this is supposed to be an earlier version, traveled forward in time?

There is nothing in this video I don’t love.

“She” must surround herself with some pretty dumb people.

It’s different, alright, but I like 4 Non Blondes’ new direction.
