being the same age as this glorious group – I too was a HUGE fan of this movie. But no mention of Michael Ironside??!! Man how I loved him. And also, that beautiful silhouetted love scene? the reason it was in there at all is early screenings people wanted that scene, and the reason its in silhouette, Kelly had already changed her hair for…[Read more]

And if you haven’t read it (Earthcore – the new version) yet, you really should because it is made of awesome! I became a junkie quite a bit after the original, so this is my only exposure, but it is HOT, and I don’t just mean the location.

This is true for a lot of professions — I can’t watch Dexter (blood spatter expert my butt….) — or CSI….and I know nurses who never watched ER or Grey’s Anatomy — they may be silly enjoyment for most, but if you are in the know it is realllllly annoying!!

I have no issues with this plan (not that you need my permission). I do love listening to your books, and will continue to check out the pod cast…but other than Contagious (which I need to pick up), I have purchased the books I have listened to. Have to support my FDO 🙂

Cheers! See you in Vegas in just about a month!! whooo hoooo!

so not that I don’t think Nazi = evil, this is the default for a lot of costuming, but looking at images of military uniforms in general — LOTS of similarities to the Imperial bad guys. As far as the comparison to Nazi formation and the Storm Trooper formation — can’t you get that same thing in pictures of the Huns (and really, even the good…[Read more]
