Could Sinestro be Strong? →
Man, the internet and its crazy casting rumours … which I help to propagate in my own little way.
You’re welcome.
Okay, so the deal with Sinestro is that it is not Jackie Earle…
Mundus Novit: “The Crew” →
As I’ve written elsewhere, Mundus Novit can be used for a lot of different styles of play. I mentioned my Osiris concept, which is basically a riff on the comic Planetary. That’s pretty…
Red Gross →
So, listening to music again on the way to work. I started out with a great episode from the BBC’s Thinking Allowed about the concept of the working class, income disparities and…
Mundus Novit: Dark Horizons - Foibles →
This follows Sixteen: A “Quiet” Chat
Seventeen: Foibles
He sat there, four young Russian women hanging on him, serving him, all but worshipping him. Money paid for that. It paid for…
A Legion of a Villain →
This is in danger of becoming the Green Lantern blog, which is odd, since I’m not particularly excited about the movie. Irony, thy name is … whatever.
So I was out there reading Screen…
Where’s the Cosmic? →
The Green Lantern info keeps coming, and none of it has made me too excited.
Recently, the Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the villain in the Green Lantern movie will be Hector…
Morel’s a Dune “Fan” →
Present Dune director Pierre Morel had an interview with MTV in which he discussed his love for the book. He kind of dissed David Lynch’s movie in an off-hand way.
“As a…
Thor’s Changing! →
Interested in hearing what the script writers of Thor had to say about their work with Thor’s origins? There’s an interview with Ashley Edward Miller over at Airlock Alpha in which he…

Monday is Thursday →
What do we have to celebrate today? Well, it seems that Monday became Thursday when no one was looking.
Well, maybe someone was looking … through a camera that is.
Monday marked the…
Date With the Claws →
So, apparently the Wolverine sequel is coming in 2012. Of this and and the Star Trek sequel, ST2 wins hands down.
I saw Star Trek in the theatre. I saw Wolverine on DVD. A DVD borrowed…
Trekking Into 2012 →
Did you enjoy Star Trek? Are you looking forward to the sequel? Can you wait until June 29, 2012?
I would answer absolutely, definitely and if I really have to.
Box Office Mojo is…
Blonde Sapphire →
And here I was going on about how I wasn’t overly excited about the Green Lantern movie, and here’s more Green Lantern news.
I’m still not overly excited.
The Hollywood Reporter is saying…
Fandral Goes to Dallas →
Stuart Townsend, who had been cast as Fandral in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor (yes, it is now Kenneth Branagh’s Thor, not Marvel’s … deal with it), has left due to—get…
Green Lantern, eh? →
I haven’t posted on it much–if at all–but that’s not to say that I have no interest in the expected Green Lantern movie, especially since fellow-Canuck Ryan Reynolds is on board as…
Thoughts on Spycraft 2.0 Pocket Edition →
Summary: Excellent, but too much crunch for my taste. 4 bullets out of 5
Review
I picked up the Spycraft 2.0 pocket edition some time ago. The price was right and Flaming Cobra doesn’t…
Thor Likes Them Humans →
According to the Hollywood Reporter, yet another actress has been added to the cast of Thor. The role of “one of the humans.” Tough one.
What does this mean? Pretty much nothing….
Reading Intelligence/Military Blogs →
If you are going to read blogs about intelligence and/or military theory and thought, with a dose of current events, I have three that I think you need to read.
Abu Muqawama: Out of the Center…
How About Them Tudors, eh? →
Having done some reading on the Tudor period in England, I naturally cooked up a novel using a lot of the premises. The idea is to set it in a fictional setting based on Tudor England (Jutemark,…
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Sequel →
I’ve asked before, do we really need more Ghost Rider? Given that I haven’t been motivated to watch the first movie, you can imagine my answer will be no.
Too bad for me. Ghost Rider…
Trailing the A-Team →
The A-Team trailer was up at the Edmonton Journal website. Apparently this is a “leak,” but it’s pretty freakin’ widespread for a leak. Whatever the case, it might still be there. Check…
I Don’t Subsidize Your Love. →
I’ve spouted off before about my mercenary philosophy for writing. I know that there are those out there on both sides of that arguement. That doesn’t matter, because this is my house, so I win.
In the Alban Empire →
Unfortunately, my Viking True20 campaign ended without a real conclusion. I’m glad, though, that I got the chance to run it. One of the reasons is that I learned a heck of a lot about the…
Dune Has Been Taken! →
So, the guy that directed Taken is set to direct Dune.
Sigh. May I have my steaming hot cup of disappointment spilled in my lap now, please?
Not that Taken was a bad movie. In fact,…
Hobbits on the Calendar →
Can Twitter be trusted? Can Production Weekly be trusted?
If so, then:
Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” is due to begin a 14 month production schedule…
Mendes. Sam Mendes →
If you could have pretty much any director on your all but immortal action franchise?
The guy who directed American Beauty, of course!
I kid, I kid. Sam Mendes also directed Road to…
Haven’t We Already Seen Zombie Deadpool? →
There are writers on board for the much anticipated (at least by me) Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynolds. Variety is telling me (and just me, so don’t even bother to ask them) that these…
Mundus Novit: In the System →
With the sourcebook for Mundus Novit soon to be available, I thought I’d mention some thoughts about systems and how they apply to Mundus Novit.
Originally, Mundus Novit was designed as a d20…
In Which I Fail As A Father →
The next few days might actually see a fair amount of action on this blog. A few things to say, and this is the place where I say them.
I have recently learned a lesson as a father. As smart and…
2010 . . . Isn’t That A Movie . . . →
…Or something?
And so it begins. 2010. The Year We Make … stuff.
You want to know a secret? I didn’t party hard on New Year’s Eve. I actually haven’t since 2002 (whoa!) and I didn’t…
SEP Doesn’t Look Back, Only Forward →
I lie. We certainly do look back. Thing is, I can’t say much for Sword’s Edge Publishing in 2009. The big events came late in the year.
The Osiris Files, first discussed in April, remain…
