    Hot Pursuit: Determining Obstacles

    Any drivers means just what it said -- check on each drivers' turn (PC or NPC). I've run chases where that wasn't practical, or would just slow things down, so I use my own judgement. You should do the same. Only use your judgement, not mine. You're probably smarter than me, anyway. :D

    Wasted movie weekend.

    Well, we disagree. If you've got facts to back up your assertion, I'd be interested to see them.

    Dead Man's Chest -- Spooky Pirate Fun -- COMPLETE! Nov 3/06

    By the way, Quinn's low Charisma really sank his Diplomacy check. Especially when he rolled a one. Indifferent to Unfriendly in one fell swoop! :D

    Awesome fight scene

    ??? Which stunts are you thinking of? Don't get me wrong, District B13 was a tight little film, I liked it a lot, but it didn't compare to Ong-Bak on any level. The free-running stuff (especially the opening sequence) was cool, but nothing that compared to Tony Jaa jumping a moving car...

    Yes. And yes.

    Wasted movie weekend.

    Weird. Maybe a problem with that specific disk. I certainly found I had to listen very carefully, but then, knowing Terrence Malick, I wasn't too worried about it, since I knew that this movie wasn't going to depend on the specifics of each utterance. That said, if a movie hasn't given me...

    Wasted movie weekend.

    And The New World is Terrence Malick, and either Malick works for you or he doesn't, but he definitely doesn't make films like anyone else. If you didn't like The New World, you probably won't like The Thin Red Line, but for my money they're both works of genius. Malick is like Wong Kar-Wai for...

    The Return of Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    That's exactly how I'd do it. Elric leaves kingdom to Yrkoon, acquires Stormbringer (with Yrkoon getting Mournblade at the same time), discovers Cymoril's death, big fight, everyone dies, Elric slouches off into the wasteland. Something like that, anyway.

    The Return of Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    See, NOW you're talking! Why don't movie producer/marketing flacks ever speak THAT language? Wouldn't you just DIE if the director came out and said, "Look, it's not complicated. It's some pale pretty uber-Goth with red eyes who moans about his fate while killing everything he cares about with...

    Do You Prefer a Cinematic Combat System?

    Kill Bill is cinema. So is Rashomon. So is The Wild Bunch. So is Jarhead. And they all have drastically differing view on what the experience of combat is like. Cinema is a broad, deep river that flows everywhere and can mean anything. I vote "Yes". Because I like movies.
