I just finished reading the part in Legacies where Jack was pulling the real estate scam on Ramirez to get Jorge's money back. When Sung paid Jack to steal the deal out from under Ramirez he gave Jack fifteen one thousand dollar bills.

Last time I checked, and I verified it just a few minutes ago, the largest bill in circulation is the $100 bill. So Jack would have been the one who was ripped off.

:confused:

Sorry if this was mentioned earlier in the forum. I looked but didn't find it anywhere.

[SIZE="3"]I wasn't planning to see this anyway, but after almost universally bad reviews, I'll definitely stay away. I thought this line from the E Online review was particularly killer:[/SIZE]

"This sort of thing might work as a desperation rental--like if you've been injected with poison and must keep watching incredibly lame movies or die..."

Anybody see this one yet? Looks like it could be really good or really boring.

Both my kids and I enjoyed My Beautiful Girl, Mari. It is filled with beautiful imagery and sense of wonder while providing food for thought. Not quite on Miyazaki's level, but definitely worth a look if you want something different from your typical family fare.

hi fpw just wondering if your inspiration for the russian lady in the book HOSTS was the famous russian mystic H P Blavatsky. Again thanks for a great book .

Just finished Infernal yesterday. Next up ..... Harbingers .....

*****POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT*****

Every time i finish an RJ Novel i find myself saying it was the best one yet. Conclusion ..... they are all the best one.

I loved how Infernal picked up the relationship with the estranged Jack and his crooked Brother. A nice twist, like the jacket says, how Jack a career criminal actually has significantly higher moral standards than his Brother. II loved what was done with them though i didn't like Daddy Jack dying before he could get me in some good tax shelters and such.

Gia and Vicky are amazingly awesome as usual and as it gets closer to ba by time and Bloodline, i wonder what is in store next for RJ. I can't wait to find out for sure and until Harbingers arrives i am going to have itchy fingers.

*****END POSSIBLE SPOILER*****

One interesting thing about the RJ Series is it appeals to some of my baser elements, the idea we have all probably had and entertained about living off the grid, not beiong official, being mysterious and moving through a red tape world with relative anonymity. I get so into it. I find myself going to places that require signatures and signing false names, giving fake addresses, relegating myself to being more quiet and seeing how i can blend both in and out of social type situations without being noticed. Being a large man of six four it is kind of hard but believe it or not i can get it done, sometimes!!!!!

Ive sat at my keyboard as i work on my first novel and wonder what other ways there might be to create false identities and disappear so to speak. I have even tried to find and devise ways for Jack's return to officialdom.

Okay, ive rambled on enough for now.

Have a great day guys .....

Upon re-reading The Keep, I read but thought nothing of when Glaeken stabbed his sword down into Rasalom's "exposed back." If I did think anything of it, I figured "exposed" simply meant "unprotected."

However, in the comic version, Rasalom suddenly goes "nekkid" while up on the tower with Glaeken.

...did I miss something here?

Anyone see this remake yet? I've read reviews that say its pretty awful and really destroyed the original and its not scheduled to come to this post before I leave.

I watched the original for the first time the other night and granted it was the condensed 88 minute verison and not the full length 108 minute verison and I must say...I was a little let down. Perhaps I let all the talk from the die-hard internet fans raise my expectations too high, but for most of the movie I was watching it with this confused look on my face and I kept having to remind myself "It was made in 1973...perhaps it was good back then." The only really "good" thing about the movie was being able to listen to Chrisopher Lee's voice as he "preaches" to his followers. That guy has the coolest voice in the world.

Thoughts? Comments?


Oh and for those that have seen the original and like it, does anyone know what Sergeant Howie was saying at the end of the movie when he was in The Wicker Man? (Not trying to ruin this for anyone) To me it sounded like "Damien" and all the subtitles said was "Yelling indistinct" Any help?

And I can't get that Maypole song out of my head!!! AARRGGGHHHHHH!!!!
