DF Comic Books / Re: Style of Comics You Read
« on: September 13, 2014, 10:29:21 AM »

Back in the 90s I was very into the Marvel monsters.  Werewolf by Night, Morbius the Living Vampire, The midnight Sons, and so on...

About a year ago a friend got me back into Marvel and I had to do about a decade's worth of crash-catch-up of the canon.

Currently I'm reading Thor & Loki: Original sin (which is almost over), Amazing Spider-man, Loki: Agent of Asgard and until it ended the newer version of Morbius (even if they had messed around with his powers and weaknesses quite a lot, that goes in guilty pleasure category).

I'm also fond of some of the Gothic horror IDW titles like Madman & Monster and Frankenstein Alive Alive (anything illustrated by Bernie Wrightson is gold and Frankenstein Alive Alive is fantastic, not just for the artwork but for the writing style).

DFRPG / Unseelie accords
« on: September 26, 2011, 09:21:56 AM »

I think a book representing the Unseelie Accords would make for a great companion book for the RPG.

"We had everything under control until the flaming wizard came in and shut down our containment grid."

Murphy:  "Is this true?"

Venckman:  "Yes; this guy is flaming."  As Harry takes a swing at him, "Well, that's what I've heard!"

:P  Hehe

I think this is the funniest RP idea I've heard in a long time.

I know of one IMVU RP group that has decided that the Jade Court is a mysterious Asian type of vampire that has a powerful poisons of varying strengths and uses that come from porcupine-like quills they produce in their fingers, and they feed on dreams, which is more dangerous than it sounds because people can die of exhaustion.  It's strange but an interesting take on the yet unsubscribed court.

There's a cheesy movie on scifi right now called Beauty and the Beasts and the woman who plays the sorceress Lady Hellena looks nearly exactly how I imagine Lara Raith. Sorry I don't have any pictures of her.

DF TV Series / Re: POLL: End Game Opinion of the Series

The Sci Fi TV series was alright but it lacked the feeling of the books. In order for this series to reach its full potential it needs to be produced by a company such as HBO who has proven over the years to be masters of making TV series that easily match the high standards of a Hollywood movie production. I also believe that the best hope for the series would be not to make a single series but instead a series of miniseries with each book consisting of two or three hour long episodes. If done in this kind of format the stories of each novel can remain intact with minimal alterations and would potentially allow all 13, soon to be 14, books to be brought to life in a reasonable time span of 7 or fewer seasons. And to kick off this new and improved Dresden series I think it would be a great idea to see Storm Front hit the big screen which I feel would draw in the audience a series of this magnitude would require to survive, and because I think it would be awesome to see Dresden kicking butt in a theater near me.

I'm not sure a movie will happen after what happened with Sorcerer's Apprentice.  Also Lionsgate still has the rights for a year or two.   Technically Storm Front does have a movie but it's never been released to DVD.  It's an extended version of the episode and it makes a lot more sense than the episode cut.  It's a polished up and refurbished version of the original pilot.  It aired once on Scifi at three AM and wasn't even listed on the schedule when it did air and it's never been released to DVD though it was originally to be a bonus feature on the season 1 DVD release.  I don't know why they pulled it at the last second.  Originally the set was advertised as including the extended pilot.

... we lost Dresden and got handed Sanctuary. No offense to any fans that are out there, but that seems an entirely unfair exchange IMO  ???

I agree.

Okay, but was it ever mentioned elsewhere in the show that his mother died in childbirth? Not to nitpick, but I'm just a stickler for details.   ;)

There's a vague reference to her death in birds of a feather.

I'd just like to point out one tiny mistake - in Second City, when Murphy's dad is discussing Harry's family, he says Harry's mother died when he was three, not in childbirth like in the books. (He also calls her a gypsy, which I found really cool.)

I think it was to imply that his research was inaccurate.

This.

I want this.

I would frame it, and treasure it, and use it as gloat material to my fellow dresden fans whenever they come over.

At least you're not planning on using it in a spell against him. :P

From what I heard the story arc problem was in the middle of getting things going some executive told them that they wanted the episodes to be able to stand alone, sort of like the first season of Buffy.   But they slipped in the story arc of Justin Morningway anyway.

I miss this show.  No other show made by the Scifi Channel has ever been able to hold my interest.

I'm not sure what this was all about, but my original question was about Harry working out of what appeared to be a Magic Store. I later learned it just looked like a store front and was his office/living space.

Whoops, sorry, that was my fault.  I misread what you said. I thought you said stone.  I thought you were talking about the crystal he used in his tracking spell. And don't let me drive you off. I was in a bad mood when I replied to you.  The humidity here was getting to me.
