Can't believe I forgot the Veronica Mars movie - I pledged to kickstarter and saw it in theaters! I liked The Man from UNCLE recent movie. The movies edited from the new show with additional footage for Eurpean rerelease are a mixed bag but interesting to see. The two Dark Shadows films from the 70s are good as 70 horror films, but not necessarily good adaptions of the series. Also forgot The Wild, Wild West which was a horrible movie. I wish I forgot it more often. The Mission: Impossible movies may be good, may not be good...but I'll never watch them. I tried to watch Hawaii 5-0 but didn't like it. This was late in its run though, do I missed the early stuff that seemed to be well liked. I think Westworld is a good exploration of themes hinted at in the movies (and its a far sight better than the previous TV show, BEYOND WESTWORLD). The Magnum and MacGyver reboots aren't really the same type of show as the originals, being much more in the modern crime solving team of people with special talents genre. They're not bad shows for what they are imo, but what they are aren't what the original shows were. Haven't seen the Lost in Space reboot yet.

There are tonnes of TV shows that had movies. Even more if you're counting movie reboots like A-Team. Off the top of my head - Batman: The Movie (original cast) 21 Jump Street (reboot) Absolutely Fabulous (original cast) The Equalizer (reboot) Dad's Army (both) Fantasy Island (reboot) The Fugitive (reboot) The Flintstones (cartoon during original run, live action reboot) Scooby Doo (live action sorta reboot sorta continuation of series) Mission: Impossible (reboot) Man From UNCLE (movies made from tv eps with new footage for european market + reboot) George of the Jungle (live action reboot) Peter Gunn (continuation of series; movie just called GUNN) Transformers (cartoon movie follow up, reboot live action) GI Joe (cartoon movie, live action reboot) He Man and the Masters of the Universe (reboot movie) Get Smart! (revival with original characters, reboot) Are You Being Served? (original cast) The Beverly Hillbillies (reboot) Miami Vice (reboot) Dark Shadows (2 movies with original cast, reboot) The Monkees (follow-up to the series, called HEAD) The Munsters (movie with most of cast after series cancelled) The Addams Family (reboot) Pennies from Heaven (condensed retelling of series) Quatermass (condensed retelling of series) Quatermass II (condensed retelling of series) Quatermass and the Pitt (condensed retelling of series) Quatermass Conclusion (re-edited version of series) The Brady Bunch (reboot) Doctor Who (reboot during the series run) Doomwatch (original cast I think) Bewtiched (sorta reboot sorta meta) The Dukes of Hazzard (reboot) Our Miss Brooks (continuation of series) Charlies Angels (reboots) Police Squad!

Politics XXXV (Life in the Vault is about to change)

"Records show that the police investigation was centered around a "trap house" more than 10 miles from Taylor's apartment, and that a judge had approved a "no-knock" search warrant, meaning officers did not have to identify themselves, according to The Courier-Journal." No knock warrants should be banned in all municipalities, IMO. I understand the desire of the police to keep people from destroying evidence, but they will continue to lead to these kind of incidents if allowed to stand. Sadly, reading this story reminds me a lot of Kathryn Johnston. I'm sure there are plenty of others people who've lost their lives around the country that others could point out. -

TMP allegedly never got a proper edit due to effects shots not being done in time, so the original version of the film (as opposed to the us tv premire longest, or Ray Wise's director's cut) has some pacing issues. My biggest problem is that, in making Face the person 'running' the mission, they made Hannibal superfluous.

Ys VIII is set on an island (the main characters are ship wrecked), but it is a fantasy game. Character design isn't realistic/highly stylized.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? (or are we PC only for this list)? Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana?

I'm looking forward to watching Star Trek Discovery when I get through rewatching TNG for the first time since it aired in first run syndication. I've expressed my opinion of modern Trek vs Roddenberry's intention here before, but even though I think Trek has been irrevocably changed (in better and worse ways), I think there's still room to enjoy the series and movies.

Most police departments that I am aware of have rigorous screening processes to screen out hotheads or people who want a license to be a thug. The bigger problem (IMO) with police is the increasing fetishistic militarization going on in police departments combined with the traditional institutionalizing that the workforce endures (and also creates and fosters in itself in some cases) that develops an "us vs them" perception of police work. This is furthered by the fact that most police don't live where they police, which helps to dehumanize the population where they do police. And indeed it is also furthered by the fact that the collective common sense of humanity is lower than ever, as are critical thinking skills, which combine to make bad judgement de rigueur instead of anomalistic.

There's logistical reasons why parties were useful. But the parties are also an impediment, imo, to elected officials representing their constituents. -

If you can't have a partiless system, than the more parties the better. -

Can't proceed

You need to contact obsidian support then; while possible a dev will see your thread here, this is mostly peer to peer help. https://support.obsidian.net/contact -

Have you tried going to the vault or to the treasure chest area and back? That sometimes would clear up issues in the past. -

Seatbelt laws as well, IIRC. -
I don't know if our organization has security issues or if its a cost issue given that they already have licenses to other tools.

We can't use Zoom either, but a vendor used WebEx to show us how to do something virtually the way they'd approve us to do it with the ability to extrapolate that to our preferred platform (in this case it'd be WebEx).
