I'm new here will be the first to admit that I may have missed something.

I have a few (not-for-profit, for-fun) RJ-related film projects rolling around in my head but, being a canon-loving fan, want to make sure I get the little things right. Things like movies watched, guns used, etc. These are things I usually look for in my favourite internet resource, but the content there is rather basic (well, compared to other fandom-related articles).

Has anyone started a project like a Repairman Jack wiki, or made similar lists? I know there is an encyclopedia in the works (according to the site), but with the MediaWiki code being free to use, is that an option?

The UK's Times Online named their choices for Best Film Twists Ever.

"The most powerful tool in cinema is the perfect twist, those vertiginous seconds when the bottom falls out of your seat and you are no longer sure whether to trust your eyes."

The films mentioned are:

Great Expectations
The Empire Strikes Back
Rosemary's Baby
The Wicker Man
The Cabinet of Dr Caligari
Fight Club
Planet of the Apes
The Sixth Sense
The Crying Game
Rebecca
Blade Runner
The Shining
The Usual Suspects
The Prestige
The Others
Jacob's Ladder
Dead Man's Shoes
Sunset Boulevard
Vertigo
Psycho
Dr. Strangelove
Kiss Me Deadly

The article itself is FULL of spoilers, so click at your own risk here.

A couple of movies that weren't big box office but that I thought had really good twists are Arlington Road starring Jeff Bridges and Fallen starring Denzel Washington.

Anybody else have a nominee or two for best film twists ever?

I am surprised no one has posted this yet. Pretty amazing voice! I will admit, I should never have seen this before heading into the studio yesterday - she makes me feel incredibly vocally inadequate! the only other recording of her singing (Cry Me a River from 1999) is also on You Tube.

Introducing Susan Doyle, a 47 year old average woman from Scotland with an incredibly unaverage voice

I hope no one changes her.

Some interesting comments, here!

Click the above link to be taken to a forum thread which has the first three "webisodes" of a new GIJOE series called GIJOE: Resolute. This is not your daddy's GIJOE.

Any chance that some of your older works will become available on the Kindle?

I've read everything of yours that I can get my hands on, but there are some others that have eluded me. Luckily, I was able to devour the Repairman Jack Books before I became addicted to the Kindle. One of the main ones I would love to read on the Kindle is The LaNague Series.

After posting I ran into a similar thread. Oh well, I guess another push for the Kindle can't hurt?

Just joined the damned thing and found a group called F Paul Wilson Appreciation. The Pic they have of Paul looks like a mugshot. I was curious if this was any of you guys and gals?

Just wanted to say that I very much appreciate being able to follow FPWs twitter as well as his "The Next Question" blog. Interesting and occasionally amusing comments such as this one.

Sorry. Haven't been by the forums in a while but had to stop by and give my praise for JACK: SECRET HISTORIES.

Wow!

I thoroughly enjoyed this YA novel. It was a walk down memory lane of sorts. And it broke a lot of Jack "rules".

First of all, I must say that the introduction of Jack's mother with hugs ranks right up there with my favorite Jack moments. FPW is the man and he nailed the details perfectly.

Secondly, the fact that Jack relies on the authorities (Tim, etc.) to help with his first fix it is great. Can't do that in a typical Jack book.

I could go on and on about how he learns lock picking, how the characters reflect those of his adult friends, and how the things mentioned in bits and pieces throughout the Jack novels seem to culminate into a greater whole in this book.

I can hardly wait for the next installment.

Plus, as a writer, I have been inspired not to rule out marketing some of my work to the YA market.

Thanks!

Today I saw "Okuribito", it's Japanese film aka;"Departures".

It's a story about putting bodies in coffins, and a story about job; "Nokanshi" and their family. I think it's very unique and bizarre for foreigners' eyes. But I think you feel something. Maybe it's some touching moments, maybe it's some funny moments. It depends on persons.

I won't say spoilers about this excellent movie anymore. Just see it!

JUST SEE IT!!!


This is the trailer.

Once again, "JUST! SEE! It!"

Here's the story as told by one of the future undead hordes that hunger for the flesh of the living. FPW, any chance of Jack making an emergency trip to New Orleanes ASAP?
