The Powers That Be at Lucasarts seem to be caught between a rock and a hard place; I recall reading somewhere that novels featuring the Big Three as major protagonists sell substantially better than novels that don't. This has resulted in Luke, Han and Leia having to save the galaxy again and...

People, the old classic 'Mechs aren't gone! In order to avoid the legal problems mentioned before, FanPro (now Catalyst Game Labs) decided to have the 'Mechs visually modified enough that they wouldn't risk getting sued anymore. Those old 'Mechs were thus redrawn, recast, and, in the game...

Instead of peddling new stuff, how about you guys fulfilled previous orders? Y'know, the Ice and Fire calendars that precious few people have received?

Great. Yet another distraction for Martin. By now, I wouldn't be surprised if A Dance with Dragons was published in 2011. Martin's already woefully late with that book, he might as well go for the record and make us wait longer than he did with A Feast for Crows (which took him five years to...

Thanks for your answers, folks. I confess, the thought that it might not be out yet in many countries hadn't crossed my mind. I'm used to seeing blockbusters open nearly everywhere on the same day, or at least on the same weekend. Oh, and for those who have yet to see it, it's definitely worth...

Sad to say, I'm not. I've been experiencing SW burnout of late, especially with the lackluster two novels of the Legacy series and the gut-punch news that the next Knights of the Old Republic game will be an accursed MMORGP. I'll look at reviews - if it does very well there, I might be enticed...

Any idea why foreign revenue is so low for the Dark Knight?

Hey, Iron Man has crossed the 300 million line... and is still ahead of Indy! And yeah, looks like Love Guru is going to tank. I wonder how much better it would have done if it hadn't opened against another comedy? You'd think that by now the studios would have learned not to schedule two...

Wow, after three weeks of Indy, Iron Man is still ahead in domestic gross (and, presumably, foreign gross). 2 more weeks, and Iron Man might top 300 million... though I suspect it'll come up just short. Still, I'm sure Marvel's execs are delighted with the result.

So Iron Man is still ahead of Indy... Interestingly, both have a difference of about 50 millions between domestic and foreign revenue. I had no idea Narnia had cost so much - looks like it will have to struggle just to break even. The execs at Paramount must be lighting cigars with 100$ bills...

Money only. Well, that and critical opinion (and at 35% on rottentomatoes with 168 reviews, it is a failure with movie critics), though of course critics are understandably a distant secondary concern to money for studios. And on that account, regardless of whether or not I happen to like the...

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Iron Man topped 300 million domestically. Looks like it will be the Transformers of this year. I wonder if it will be able to hold Indy at bay and still be on top for worldwide total after next weekend? I know that given a choice between seeing Indy or...

"Now, Hayley, you don't have cause to be mad at me. What happens on the island, stays on the island." :cool:

IIRC, Tim Kring claimed that he'd learned from the lessons of season 2, and that his creative team wouldn't make the same mistakes again.

Ah, I see. I had no idea about the CON loss. Which brings up a problem for the PCs: the dragon required the party's full attention, and his master is presumably even more powerful. Two such mighty foes at once, or even one right after the other, would seem to be too way much for them to...

Nice update... I wonder what was the reason for the dragon's retreat? Because it certainly seemed to be winning right up until then. Was it to prevent a TPK? Oh, and I'm curious - what was the power that the dragon used then: Did the dragon pass all the wounds it had taken up until that point...

I'll start paying attention to ADwD release dates once GRRM announces he's finished with the first draft, and not a moment before.

Thanks. But I'd really like for FOX to officially confirm it. Ah, well. May isn't that far away now...

Yeah, I know about Wikipedia. I recall an article in which it a FOX rep said that they wouldn't announce their full lineup until May. That was back in March. I thought to myself "Are they really going to keep us in the dark so long about Terminator when the other networks are making their...

Damn, still no definite info about whether Terminator will be back. Although its very lack of mention doesn't bode well. :(
