“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena … who, at best,
knows in the end the triumph of great achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. So that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”
–Theodore Roosevelt
I must always remember this when reading any review. I should remember it twice while writing my own.
Of course, it won’t stop me.

You need to watch it. It is imperative that you watch it.
This isn’t the first episode of Garth Merenghi’s DARKPLACE but it is the entire episode and if you’ve watched any low-budget 1980s horror show or are familiar with the idea of the Mary Sue, you’ll get what’s going on pretty quickly. And you *will* laugh.
Good gods, you’re gonna laugh.
My hardest laugh-point is when Dean Learner takes a shotgun to the dinner plates.
Always remember:
“If you took away my paper, I would write on my heart. If you took away my ink, I’d write on the wind. It wouldn’t be an ideal way to work.”
Garth Merenghi

–ben franklin
It’s that time once again. Expect only a trickle of opinions you didn’t ask for. On the plus side, this should be the last winter I have to go through this crap.

I wrote a letter to my dad – I wrote, “I really enjoy being here,” but I accidentally wrote rarely instead of really. But I still wanted to use it so i crossed it out and wrote, “I rarely drive steamboats, dad – there’s a lot of shit you don’t know about me. Quit trying to act like I’m a steamboat operator.” This letter took a harsh turn right away…
