Pimp away my friend, pimp away. By the way, you gotta now tell us the story behind how the story got written. Something to spite some poop head guy? I'm curious now - please explain. :)

That theory totally makes sense. In fact, now that you mention it, I'm going with it too. It would be very Rowling-esque to do it that way. Plus, as people pointed out, our boy died too easily . . . ... plus, it explains why Dumbledore froze Harry. Or else he would've stopped his and Snape's...

Or Martin Campbell ... or Gore Verbinski. Plus, put the amount of resources and money into that would make it a good movie. Hire a writer that respects and enjoys writing for the fantasy genre. One that also has proven himself or herself. But none of this will ever happen. Is it me, or if I do...

My favorites (and keep in mind that many of them are from movies that aren't really that great . . . some are downright crappy, but that doesn't keep me from enjoying the soundtrack -sometimes I'm just a big fan of the work itself, the composer's music, not the movie - often I use some of them...

Already read "Bone" by Jeff Smith. :) Thanks everyone for their recommendations. Not sure which one of the many mentioned that I should start with first. I'll have to go my "feel" and randomly pick one. But thanks. Hope I enjoy as you have. Feel free to keep the thread going if you wish and...

Looks friggin sweet. My only nit pick is that I'm not yet totally convinced with their choice of actress for Cho Chang. Although I admit that, being asian myself and seeing many asian girls in my community, in asian films, and asian tv shows, I kind of have different tastes perhaps. Not that...

Heh heh...actually , I've read the Potter books already. Sorry, I should've listed what I've read and haven't read. Read most of the Conan books too. And John Carter of Mars. But the thing with the Harry Potter books is...although fun and they meet my criteria, they're still in the modern day...

I like to think of myself as having fairly broad tastes in books. I like different genres, different writing styles. While I don't like poor writing, I'd like to think I'm not super picky. However, I have to say the time for that has ended. Or at least for the moment. Now I'm really picky. I...

It would actually be kinda cool to place other friends of hers in the picture with her. Y'know, for a sense of scale. At 5'11", she quite the tall leggy woman. But I really only had time to just draw her. Plus, you mentioned mixed racial background, but didn't mention which races. So I really...

It really depends on the type of tv show or movie I'm watching. The "style" determines the level of realism that the subject matter has to follow. Star Wars is (as an earlier post pointed out) a Space fantasy. Like Flash Gordon and such. The exaggeration and fantasy elements are way higher than...

Is "Black Rain" considered a guilty pleasure? I guess it could. I like the movie too. And yes, the soundtrack kicks much booty. I listen to it a lot. My guilty pleasures: -Flash Gordon -Cutting Edge -Queen of the Damned (and its soundtrack...heh heh) -Hard Target -Iron Eagle -In The Line of...

Am I working on that guy? No. I'm working on Mithras Talant the Bladesinger and Drynd of the Staff . Your Korbach turned out awesome Hunter. Sweet work! :D

Actually, you're right Numion. I totally overlooked that as I was writing my post. That's another fantasy Rowling taps into. The fantasy of actually being special. Not just another face in the crowd. I mean, you're in school, you have a 2.75 grade point average, you're not popular, you haven't...

I don't think the reason why its a success is all that much a mystery or all that hard to see. It has all the elements that make for great escapism fantasy. If you're in school (or were in school) you know how boring it is. Its every kid's fantasy to have their school experience be an adventure...

Heh heh. I think it was more like this, "I just saw Macross Plus and I'm gonna borrow the part of the plot where the pilots have to work together and go after the rogue AI plane, and since I'm borrowing from anime, the general public at large won't know where I'm ripping my ideas from.....bwah...

I'll give it a try Arravis. Might take some time, if that's okay. I'm also in the middle of working on another one from earlier. Btw, Mithril Dragon, I really like your work. Your half dragon is well designed. I've seen others attempt a similar race (or concept) and I've always thought it fell...

I probably tried Firefly in the wrong way. I saw the test screening of Serenity and that was my first taste of it. I've heard of the series and the basic premise. I thought it sounded like something worth checking out. But just never got around to doing it. Saw the movie, and was kinda...."Eh...

Fairly accurate review. My friend and I went to see this movie KNOWING it was going to be bad. And we weren't disappointed. It stunk to high heaven. We have this tradition of getting friends together to go see stinker films for a sort of MST3K kind of time. This was one of them. This movie...
