aren't some of you (HoM, MoD) ineligible to participate, as Utah is not in the East?

Also, we didn't need to see the evil team very often, because we saw the evil team's owner a lot of times, starting at the very beginning in the flashback, and the conflict there was between the evil owner and the crippled manager dude.

I didn't view the ridiculousness as a mistake at all. Maybe that's because I saw the version that had the huge group dance routine at the bread shop left in...it became clear to me that the ridiculousness was on purpose. Of course, when you do ridiculousness you walk a fine line, but to me it pulled it off.

I haven't seen the US release edited version. I loved the extended directors' cut version (more than Hero).

I've read several reviews that see it as tyranny propaganda?for the excuses made by dictators throughout the ages, including Hitler and Mao, that you have to break a few eggs to make a...a whatsit.

Yes, the assassins decided not to kill the (future) emperor, but that's because they decided that his tyranny was better than constant fighting. That of course ignores the other option: living in peace by not fighting among countries/states, rather than living in peace because all the other armies get killed.

If the movie was really about putting down the sword, then Jet Li should have been able to walk away without becoming a pincushion.

I'll set it aside for you. Hope it doesn't get lost.

see, pulchritudinous is one of those words that to me sounds like it has a meaning opposite of what it actually means. It's just too ugly a word to mean beautiful.

How long did it take to write Mistborn from reconception to the end of the first draft? Was that all on off time or did you start when school was still going?

Shelving Climb the Sky for now?

I agree with Stacer most, but really, I think the less you do the better. Write it the way you want it, and if you have to go back and change things later to add reintroduction, no big deal.

Inchoate is indeed a good word.
