Last Movie: Robots, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's anti-profit-oriented business, pro-socially-oriented business, pro-working class (without having every working class character be a paragon of virtue)...and it has fart jokes. And the visuals were designed by William Joyce, one of my favorite children's author-illustrators.

Last Novel: Midnight for Charlie Bone...well, I'm almost done with it. But since I've mostly been reading short fiction, comics and nonfiction these days, I can't recall the last novel I read from cover to cover.

Last Game: Dogs in the Vineyard.

Last film stuff: BBC version of Smiley's People, The Fifth Element, Sin City

Last books: Divided Generation (studies of E and W Berlin kids), The Secret Generations by John Gardner (spy/family saga)

Last game: Nine Worlds, character creation for Dogs in the Vineyard

I know I broke the typical Forge profile rule of "one and one only," and I laughed when I did it. Ha!

Best,

Last movie seen in it's entirety: A Knight's Tale; Gotta love the corny, anachronistic take on medieval life.

Last book read cover to cover: Kushiel's Chosen, by Jacqueline Carey; This trilogy seems to be popular among some of my female friends.. Very good, if a bit disturbing at times.

Last game played a full session of: Hm. I'd say InSpectres, but we ran out of steam mid-way through our 40 franchise dice, and so Lx retroactively decided that there were only 20. If that doesn't count, it would be session two of our second town in DitV.

Last thing watched:  Sin City, which was spottily excellent.

Last thing read: The Shadow of Yesterday.  Okay, actual book?  Book of the New Sun, by Gene Wolfe.

Last game played:  Purana, Santo Sengupta's Vedic HeroQuest.  Also, Polaris!  And more Polaris tonight!  And the next day!  And the day after that!

Hey, I'm Scott Martin. I sometimes scribble over on my blog, llamafodder. Some good threads are here: RPG styles.

Film: The Taking of Pellum One Two Three. Charming heist movie from the childhood of my farther about the hijacking of a subway train in New York City.

Book: Either Children of Dune or Idoru; I forget which I finished first.

Game: Dungeons and Dragons, 3rd edition, as a player of a wizard. The game's at those wonderful levels where the characters have a degree of real power and, with sufficient planning, can kick nearly anything's ass, but get their butts kicked whenever they rush headlong into a situation; that is, whenever they fail to execute a scry-teleport-scry ambush assault.
