Kevin's Watch

Oh aye, Sheol too.

I could have gone for a Donaldson related name, but due to short term memory loss, I tend to stick to the same 3 names on most forums I am on. Kane's son is what Ash called the alien in Alien, and even though I've watched that film hundreds of times since I first saw it aged 11, I only found it out when watching the Quadrilogy on DVD with the subtitles on. And it chilled me a little bit.

I am a huge Alien fan, I even liked Resurrection!

What did you think of the AvP movies? Personally, the first one had a "Jurassic Park" feel to me, while the second one was entertaining. As far as strictly Alien movies, I always really liked the third one...

AVP 2 aka Alien vs Predator vs Hollyoaks (crappy english soap with lots of pretty people who can't act) was nothing short of f***ing terrible. Characters you didn't care about, acting so wooden, dreadful dialogue. Goddamn it, the Predalien was one of the most exciting monsters ever imagined and you could hardly see the bloody thing it was so dark.

Not a huge fan

First one was an oscar winning effort compared to two. Still not great though, but at least it made a modicum of sense.

Sir Ridley has recently announced he is making not one but two prequels to Alien. I damn near wet myself with excitement when I heard that!

Two prequels? I did not know that!

Flicking through the site before I regestered, I saw lots of character names and the like, and I thought 'lets here it for the little guys!'
Crossing genres slightly he's probably got a reddish breastplate instead of a yellow one...picture the scene from the movie...

The Quest for the Staff of Law makes its way through the catacombs of Mt Thunder (oddly pastel lighting and polystyrene rocks)
Mhoram. 'Quaan! that warrior in the red has wandered out of camera shot!
off screen > Agghhh(hack stab)hhh(splash sizzle)hhh(sickly green flash)hhh
...
Quaan. 'He's dead Lord.

I have no pretensions to originality to the above (pretentious? Moi?)

First of all, I completely agree with the LOL post just preceding this.
Second...don't sell your role short, 3rd Warr! One of the most interesting things [ok, for me, but I represent a significant weird minority] in "The Scottish Play" for example, is how M(&*(#$th's manservant, delivers his only important line [drum roll for odd parallel coming up.....]

"The Queen, my Lord, is dead."

edge made my oh so cool avatar. because i hate clowns, i collect them as a totem. i also play one on occassion. well i had a song called Oddjack the Acid Clown a long time ago. that turned into a short story, that turned into a supervillain in my very own Zen Men Comics, that turned into me in costume.

btw that stud in the pimp suit that is now my avatar is me as a childrens. behold and be afeared!

Hahaha, makes me think of the dedication in Pratchett's Guards! Guards!:

They may be called the Palace Guard, the City Guard, or the Patrol. Whatever the name, their purpose in any work of heroic fantasy is identical: it is, round about Chapter Three (or ten minutes into the film) to rush into the room, attack the hero one at a time, and be slaughtered. No-one ever asks them if they wanted to. This book is dedicated to those fine men.

And then again he may have a Warmarks baton in his knapsack (He hides it during kit inspection) Even Quaan started out in the ranks (and Sam Vimes)

I was thinking of Elena, daughter of Lena for choosing a name here. Of course, I am honoring my own Mother, as well as her namesake, my cat. Meow!

And here I thought it meant you were descended from a small time-traveling white dragon, and playing with intertextual relationships.

Oh cool, Vraith. That's an alternative history I might want to explore somehow. I haven't dealt with white dragons much lately. Not since I defeated the Balrog in Moria on the old Amiga.

...although last we heard, said white dragon is still very much asexual, unlike his L-rd Holder rider.

ok, this is like the third time I tried to register and it finally worked, although the first time might have been my problem. So here I am, posting, as I was asked to do. So hello everyone. I'm a HUGE Donaldson fan, as is everyone here, I suspect.

Hey, hey!
