Slight correction: Magus is a review of a play. Still hastilily writing my TOF for Impromptu.

Todd Mason said...

Ah, but plays are A/V, too. Hence my inclusion of it here...but I'll happily bump it to Of Related Interest...

I gotta check out the Skidoo post. I finally got a copy of it. Groucho and Harry (and a bunch of others) in the worst. movie. evah.

I've got one, though the film shouldn't really deserve a second look.

Word Up: Crynna, a character name for your next fantasy novel.

Todd Mason said...

Yes, but close to Crenna, as in Stallone's adversary in the mockeries of David Morrell's work...
