Sigh

I'm not clicking on any links in LiveJournal entries until they fix the security hole. Recommend you don't either. Long story short, it's immensely easy to set up a page which, when you view it, will post something to your journal. That something can include a link to a page which, when you view it -- well, you get the idea.

I don't see any password theft vulnerabilities but I haven't really put too much effort into thinking about it, so I could be wrong.

I also have no idea how this gets fixed.

Sigh.

Ginger's last WISH is up:

Tell me your favorite war story. Why is it your favorite? What does it show about your character or the game/campaign you were playing? What does it exemplify about why you like gaming?

My answer (from Carl's UN PEACE game) is over at 20' by 20' Room.

The Chronicles of Riddick was not as good as I wanted it to be, but it was also not as bad as I feared it might be. It's the perfect Warhammer 40K movie; there's very little pure good in the world, the antagonists have psionic powers, and there's lots of blood and guts. If you can't take a guilty pleasure in spiky bitz, it's not a good movie for you. If you can, then it's worth the viewing.

As promised, David Twohy created a huge mythology to inform the movie. None of it is particularly explained, because the payoff needs to wait for the rest of the prospective trilogy, but you can tell there are bones beneath the musculature of the story. Sadly, the only real connection to Pitch Black is Riddick -- while both movies are interested in questions of faith, I wasn't ever really convinced they were taking place in the same universe. I kind of liked the non-supernatural universe better.

Vin Diesel is excellent. Alexa Davalos, who plays Jack from Pitch Black all grown up, is really good. everyone else is pretty much OK.

I'm hoping this makes enough to greenlight the two sequels, but I'm kind of suspecting that it won't.
