Oldman Quits 'Star Wars' Sequel

Does this spell trouble for Lucas and the final of the Star Wars prequels? Personally, I just wish that he would get them done so that we can get on with pretending that they never happened.

Since I don't really understand what it means, I wish there was an explanation of him "working illegally."

Oldman Quits 'Star Wars' Sequel

"Wild actor Gary Oldman has pulled out of the next Star Wars movie because he refuses to work overseas illegally. The Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban star had agreed to be the voice of evil Jedi knight killer General Grievous in Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith, but quit the production because it was made outside the Screen Actor's Guild rules. Oldman's spokesman explains, 'Gary was excited and looking forward to working on the film. The snag is that the movie is being made without members of the Screen Actor's Guild. It means Gary would have been working illegally overseas. Out of respect and solidarity with the other members, he could not and would not consider violating the rules of his union.'"

Fluxblog Is Not Essing Around

Fluxblog Is Not Essing Around

Another interesting looking mp3/music blog. Certainly a nice variety of musical styles. I'll have to check some of these mp3s out. Although I think I can do without a String Quartet version of anything by Beyonce. Unless its those Apocalyptica guys.

The Mystical Beast

An mp3 and music blog that looks like it has some pretty good stuff. Love his piece from yesterday on Tegan & Sara. I like them, and definitely have to track down some of their stuff. A blog well worth checking out.

RTalsorian Games - Mike's Rant

RTalsorian Games - Mike's Rant

Since I'm never sure how often this is updated, look for the header of Interlock vs Fuzion: the Battle Rages On. Does this mean that Mike Pndsmith is back at the helm of Cyberpunk 3x? I'm not going to hold my breathe until a book is announced in something like Previews. Does the begining of this "rant" mean that Mike is backpedalling on Fuzion? Its amazing how fans of a game that is based on extraoplation and a potential world of tomorrow can be so reactionary about a game system.

My opinions of Fuzion are pretty well known among those people who have had to listen to me about them. Fuzion is an obvious evolution of a good system, and the nice thing about it is that it moves the Cyberpunk game away from its class-based origins. Cyberpunk is D&D.

RPGnet: Review of The World of Synnibarr

"Contrary to my expectations, the World of Synnibarr did not suck all of the flesh off of my face, leaving behind only a screaming skull. It did not rape my other gaming products, leaving them pregnant with “neomods”, McCracken-speak for something as simple as a gaming module. It did not shoot twin streams of hydrochloric acid into my eyes, nor did it squat on my chest and stare at me when I was trying to sleep."

You know that you want to buy a copy.
