War of the Worlds
I saw War of the Worlds last night. Go see it. Ladies, Tom Cruise must be hot still. I literally heard a few females gasp when he walked around without a shirt. Did nuthin’ for me of course. Dakota, whatever her last name, is a really good child actress. The emotions she portrays and at her age really made the movie work in her scenes. The special effects in this movie were great. Spielberg did a good job, though it is not his best by far. I admit that I caught myself looking up at the sky while I was putting out the garbage last night. I think H. G. Wells would give this flick his approval. Go see it if you are a sci-fi fan.
One thing that got me during the movie was I had to get up and go to the restroom during the flick. I hate doing this sort of thing. But I try to be as considerate as I can and waited for a scene without action or dialogue. One presented itself and I moved as quick as this fat boy can. I am passing some double daters, praying I miss their feet (I did) and this punk in the row behind them blurts out something. The only word I picked up was asshole. His friends told him to shut up and it was good thing for him my bladder was about burst. It kills me how rude people are today? I saw a police officer in the lobby and I had a half a mind to find out what I could do. But I just went back to watch the last ten minutes of the flick. I sat in the front upon my return minimizing the distraction I might present.
12 to Midnight is getting pretty busy. When I got home last night I wrote several freelancers that we intend to send contracts and nondisclosure agreements to. I need to look over the edited copy of my next Modern Dispatch adventure. Won’t mention the topic but think X-Files here. Should finish that today. Also working on a short adventure that is going to be the sequel to Weekend Warriors. This won’t be a one shot like WW. It will actually kick off a new campaign for GMs and let them use the D20 Future book if they are so inclined. It will be produced for Savage Worlds too, but I ll let Ed handle that. He is our Savage Sage.

I think you’re right, Wells would certainly approve of the movie and Dakota Fanning is someone who I’m sure we’ll see quite a bit of in years to come.
p.s. have fun at the Gencon!

Good to know you’re still out there. Texas wants to be like SG. Supposed to hit 100 F tomorrow. Who needs firecrackers? You stand outside long enough you will blow up without them from the heat.
