wargh wargh wargh
300 trailer looks very good indeed. I suspect I'll be hearing the 'This is where we fight, this is where they die!" line a few bazillion times more before the movie gets released. And I recognise Gerald Butler reprising the ancient warrior role as well. It did look very nice. However, with Pirates of the Carribean 3 (which according to the sites has Chow Yun Fat as a Chinese pirate), Black Dahlia and Children of Men and next year, I'll be anticipating Stardust, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (which will be the hardest one to do IMHO) and Young Hannibal as well as Spider-Man 3. There's a lot of promising movies coming up and some that are less so.

...you know how it is, your town discovers it's sat on top of a silver lode and you spend a sizable sum of money making sure the damn thing is working and the next thing you know some white dragon descends on the mine, extinguishes the watchtower beacons and begins making noises about giving it tribute. Now in this part of the world, the white dragon population are one brood ruled by their rather large, aged and ill-tempered mother. I don't know if she's Mexican but I suspect what happens next will have consequences...
So as sheriff I go out to talk. Man to dragon. The following conversation shall be immortalised in my memory - while going out there, it was commented that this was that fine line between heroism and stupidity. I felt a little, well, alone out there. The paladin was riding in to provide cavalry support and I had a couple of friends on the tower who are kick-ass archers. Never the less. Just me. And dragon.
Dragon: You come to speak to me human?
Me:Yes, I'm the sheriff here. So, what do you want?
Dragon: Tribute. My hoard needs silver and I shall have it!
Me: And the alternative?
Dragon: Death and destruction.
Me: Oh. For you?
Dragon: What? Are you threatening me?
Me: This is Silverton. We don't take kindly to thieves here.
Dragon: You threaten me! You dare to insult me!!
The dragon, so outraged by these simple statements of fact only just twigged onto the paladin moments before he hit with the lance - battle was joined and due to some bad luck on the dragon's part and some good luck on ours, we downed the beast.
I really enjoyed the session despite nagging allergies - it's not everyday you can face down a dragon.
Those fans of Lost may find this theory generator interesting - if you refresh the page enough times, will the real plot appear? Enquiring minds may be asking before the new series comes around. Go on, we don't mind... come back to us later.
