Hi, Landwaster! I'm surprised that you say The Blair Witch Project is much-maligned. I had thought it had been widely acknowledged as a groundbreaking movie. I certainly thought it was a unique piece of filmmaking, and I mean that in the strictest sense of the word: it's one of a kind that cannot be...

Ah, the one and only Furls Fire. I'm honored to meet one of the veterans of the Watch here. :Hail: Yes, the Millenium Falcon is one of the great space vessels of sci-fi cinema, no question about it. Leia's favorite "bucket of bolts" does seem to have one problem after another; but hey, it'...

Hang on, we're not done yet! Let's not forget the first unusual color word that appears in The Chronicles: ocher, on page 4 of Lord Foul's Bane.
