Kurt Russel is kind of amazing the way he's just like not even acting just saying this weirdly flat antipoetry like "You better not reach for that gun because I'll shoot ya and I can because I myself am carrying a gun, if ya haven't noticed" and everyone just keeps the movie going as if some completely insane thing hadn't just happened.
Also it's a super-good set up for a one-shot. Just tell the players they lose all xp if they kill a civilian and they get double if they get whatshername to the hangman and it writes itself.

He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

ReplyDeleteThey were all out of programs today!
ReplyDeleteThe guy next to me did not come back after intermission. Sam Jackson's bit was maybe too much for him?
Too bad about the programs. Maybe he sat somewhere else? But yeah, that was intense.
