upcoming weekend, I've decided to watch these movies for a Shadowrun
perspective.
Originally, I wasn't impressed with early previews of 'Ronin', but then I
got the idea of the main characters being a group of shadowrunners. This
suddenly became interesting. On top of the fact that it's hard to go wrong
with DeNiro.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in movies, I offer 'Ronin' as a suggestion
for this weekend.
As a stretch, I could possibly see plot ideas springing from 'Urban Legends'
into the Sixth World. Considering the fact that it appears to have been
FASA's design to say that some (if not all) of the legends of human myth are
true events from a previous cycle of magic. Modern day urban legends seem to
be a great inspiration for what may become truth in 2060. Unfortunately, I
think this one is from the person who will also be bringing us "I Seem To
Recall Something Silly That You Did A Few Summers Back, Perhaps In 1979, And
Could Come Back To Haunt You".
'Blade' turned out to be pretty good from a Shadowrun perspective, but I
think 'Ronin' shows a lot of promise, not only as a movie on it's own, but
also as mood of the Shadowrun setting.
Anyone?
