Schilling and another player (backup catcher for the Phillies, can't remember his name) are part owners of the company that owns the rights to the game Squad Leader. They also run an on-line magazine for video games.

Sounds good. Make sure most of the adventures are set in a frontier area, since that was one of the main themes of the series and movie. Also, a frontier would make it easier for the PCs to hide from the 'Alliance' and use it as a base of operations against the central government. Maybe a long...

Chapter XXV Date: 223-993 Location: Aboard the Bray Keaven, in jump space between Aleif and Liar's Oath Martha falls asleep quickly. After a few dreams she can’t quite remember, Martha is dreaming of a smooth jump and her drives are humming along perfectly. Everything seems so vivid that it...

A 600 yard dash?!?! There are trained professional athletes who couldn't run a 600 yard dash. :D Maybe you meant a 60 yard dash? Back on topic: I'm a dedicated gamer, and a dedicated sports fan. I play several different types of RPGs, and I participate in several different fantasy sports...

Today I got my copy of Serenity: The Official Visual Companion from Amazon.com. Short of it being Inara: The Official Virtual Companion (;) ), it looks great. In addition to lots of pictures from the movie and the set during production, it has some concept artwork; a lengthy interview with...

Dude! Dion Warwick told me you were going to post that. That's so weird.

Inara (on the series at least) also was a sort of ambassador for the ship since she was the most respectable member of the crew. Another way that Joss shows how different the Firefly 'Verse is different from our own. The irony that a "licensed companion" (basically a legal prostitute) is more...

Of course,

I have it. I haven't had a chance to try any of it out, but it looks good just reading through it.

I thought Jayne at one point was wearing another Blue Sun T-Shirt (to replace the one River sliced up), but I could be mistaken.

I thought the same thing. But nothing is ever mentioned about it, it's not the focus of the shot, you might even miss it if you're not paying attention.

Thank God! I'd hate to lose the quality. :) Wrong. Professional film critics give approval to B-movies all the time. Calling a film a B-movie doesn't mean it's bad, or of lesser quality than an A-list movie. It just means its being made by, and stars, relatively unknown or unproven talent...

Chapter XXIV Date: 220-993 and 221-993 Location: Aboard the Bray Keaven, Urlainn Refueling Depot, Aleif, Ley Sector A little over seven days after entering jump space, the Bray Keaven emerges from jump 100 planetary diameters from Urlainn, Aleif's smallest and nearest gas giant. After...

Just went to see A History of Violence (good movie, by the way. worth seeing). There is a scene in which you get to see Viggo Mortensen's bare backside. And he has a small tail. I know some people are born with such things, but I would think he would have had it removed long ago.

I was afraid all of the advance screenings would hurt the opening gross of Serenity -- I wonder if that is a contributing factor. How much money did those screenings take in? Can that total be added to the film's gross? Or did it get counted toward the weekend grosses of the movies which lost a...

One of the small things I liked about the movie was, when they were preparing to hold off the Reavers, Jayne and everyone else are all busy moving crates, etc. Zoe is just standing there the whole time, staring at the door and loading her shotgun. Nice contrast, with her as the motionless center...

Also, Flight Plan was released last week, and was No. 1 that week as well. So it did a lot of holdover/repeat business. The real test, as someone else mentioned, is how Serenity does in subsequent weeks. Many movies open big, then drop 35 percent or more in the second week. I read somewhere...

I rarely give movies a 10. That said, I voted it a 9. I saw an advanced screening back in May, and saw a matinee again today. It was as good as I remembered it. :D Bring on the DVD, loaded with lots of extra goodies.

Tukera? Man, I either missed this originally in the game, or have just forgotten it. That little tidbit could possibly put current events in the game in a whole new light. Oh well. :\

A similar thing happens in "The Usual Suspects." Verbal is telling all of the flashbacks as a story to Kujan, yet there are scenes in the flashbacks in which Verbal does not appear, and about which he should have no knowlege. That should have been Kujan's tip-off, and the audience's, that Verbal...
