Atomic Movie Night
About a week and a half ago I replied to a MySpace Bulletin posted by a guy I kinda know, Atomic Steve. He was announcing the possible movies for “Movie Night” at his place. Among them was “Blade Runner’. I haven’t seen Blade Runner since High School, so I wrote him back. That Monday I drove up to Long Beach for Movie Night. I got a chance to hang out with some guys I barely know, including Graham & “The Jew” and some new people (something rare for me). I guess you could say I’ve been kind of a hermit for the last year or so.
The movie rocked (It was the Director’s Cut), and we all made nominations for the next week. I nominated “The Jerk” (I’d never seen it, somehow). Last night was week 2, and The Jerk won 4 to 1 (The one was for “Run, Lola, Run”, another movie I hadn’t seen but really wanted to.) We started the movie at 9. Graham was late, same as the week before (apparently that’s his ‘thing’). Since the movie was pretty short, a few of us decided to stick around and watch “Run, Lola, Run”. There’s a little mind bender for you. I really loved the little “And Then” scenes.
My nomination for next week is “The Machinist” with Christian Bale. I’ll keep you all updated on the pick…
I’ve started reading the new “World of Darkness” books from White Wolf. The changes in Vampire seem to be mostly cosmetic. They’ve muddled up the back story, made it a bit more mysterious. Was Caine the founder? Maybe. It might have been Dracula. It might have been Longinus. I have no problem with that. Just don’t make a character over 2000 years old and you’ll have no problem.
The back stories for Werewolf & Mage have been completely re-written. The entire Triat concept is thrown out. I really liked the Wyld/Weaver/Wyrm or Dynamic/Stasis/Entropy Cosmology.
I downloaded the “Quick Start” stories off of the White Wolf site. I think I’m going to run the werewolf story “Welcome to Manitou Springs”. Maybe try it as a one-night thing. Something semi-constructive to do with my time….
