Quick runthrough.

Good night. Went to Comics R Us and luckily walked out with nothing, although it was a near thing. *sigh* Alan Moore. We went to see Reign of Fire and K-Pax for Nat's birthday, and I enjoyed both. Chris and Sara very kindly offered to drive me home, and we stopped by their place to have something to eat. Chris and I started chatting away (as we do), and Sara went to bed. Chris then dropped me home, I showed him a MacHall comic, lent him American Gods, Coraline and The Iron Tonic (Edward Gorey), he'd lent me Top Ten (yay Alan Moore!), and then we chatted for about 3 hours. He tried to leave at 3am, then we kept finding other topics of conversation. He only left about five to ten minutes ago.

Phreow. Last conversation I had like that would prolly have been with Daniel in that evening after Liam's 18th. I miss those sort of conversations, the sort I used to have with the 98ers.

Night! I'm going to read some Alan Moore, and then bed.

I miss those conversations too :( Keep thinking I should see if I can find any of them.

Last time I ran into Little!Phil, he informed me that Phil had taken off to the US to study at Berkley (sp?)...
Sam's still wandering around the UniMelb campus, involved in debating...
Casey took off to ACU, of course. Ran into him at MHS speech night in 2000... he still loathes me for not going out with him. Someone should tell him I'm batting for the other team now...it may heal his wounded self-esteem...
Who else? Rami... ran into him at Easters debating last year, along with Boastie (who still hates my guts).
Chris came with me to go see Tripod soon after I got back from Easters...but I spent the show with Kelly's hand on my leg, and haven't heard from him since.
Actually ran into Evan late last year. He'd just finished directing a play. Tha's about all I can think of for the moment...

I thought Reign of Fire was dodgy - actually, that's a bit of an understatement, a bunch of friends and I basically laughed throughout the whole thing about some of the inconsistencies. Why did that Matthew MacConaughey character jump off that tower into the dragons mouth, making absolutely no impact as one can imagine? Why didn't they just use their horses as bait rather than each other? If the dragons ate ash, why did they only eat ash made from living things, starving in the process? Aaaaaarrrgggh. There's a moment of silence between the end of the film and the credits, in which `that was rather crap' could be heard echoing throughout the theatre...

But in the end, Reign of Fire was so bad, it was good - like Nosferatu, the Natural Glow chick on Bert, or Dr Nick. Tried explaining this to my ex at the time, who didn't quite seem to understand... `well if it was so bad, why are you telling me about it?' `because it was good!'.

I actually thought it was pretty good . . . ok, yeah, dodgy. Very very dodgy. It's an _action_ film though.

There was scattered applause at the end at the Astor, which surprised me.

Best. Dragons. Ever. Reason enough to see it, and rewatch it once.

I don't know who you are.

But you own a plush Cthulhu.

Welcome to my friends list :D

It's particularly amusing that you actually _succeeded_ in kicking me out of the house at about 2am, whereupon the conversation decided to continue outside for another couple of hours. I don't seem to have any mosquito bites this morning btw . . .

It's been way too long since I had one of those conversations, too. Great stuff.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

I've only got a few mossie bites, thank god. Finished Top 10, too. Damn I want the next part! Leaves you on tenterhooks, eh? *grins*

[dorukai.livejournal.com]

Yep.
You'd think leaving us on tenterhooks with one series would be enough for the bastard, but nooooooo, he's got to do it with TWO (at least).

Both fantastic series so far, which is some consolation (but not really).
*coughs*

Got a favourite character from either series so far by the way?

Mine would have to be Nemo from League, and probably Caesar from Top 10 (though all of the characters in Top 10 are so nifty it's hard to choose!).

Doesn't it just make you want to roleplay Pulp Adventure 4-color Superheroes? Bwaha!

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Maybe we could organise a campaign. *grins*

I quite like Jack Phantom (for obvious reasons), and Synaesthesia, and prolly Nemo's my fave from League.

[dorukai.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Maybe we could organise a campaign. *grins*

Great idea! *laughs*
I'm happy to run another one if I can reliably get people to turn up and play.

As I might have mentioned, I like the idea of running a pulp adventure campaign using Big Eyes Small Mouth. I can lend you the BESM core rulebook tomorrow if you're interested.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Uh...okay. Sounds like a plan. Yay!
