that guy from that show

Since the beginning of time, corporations have cut corners for the sake of profit. The fact that the Trade Federation would form it's army out of the cheapest battle droids available is not surprising in the least. There goal is not political, it's profit. I'll admit that the square formations deployed on Naboo and other engagements is dumb and outdated, (But it looked cool! ) I often assumed it was just lazy programing on the part of the droid control ship's computer, the droids that fought on Onderon have less of an excuse. I would say that the vehicles in the star wars universe are equipped in a way that is relativity suitable for the way they fight. The battles of Hoth and Kahyyyk are prime examples. The battle of Onderon would have been much better if they had forgone any ground troops and used gunships, vulture-droids, and STAPs. It would have been more efficient and effective. In a lot of ways, the technique used is based on the environment. In today time a battle would never be fought in the grassy plains like on Naboo. Strategically the area would lend itself well to droid fighters flying low and devastating them well cinematicly using Napoleonic strategy works. The same goes for the attack on Kashyyyk. It is clearly reminiscent of the Normandy landing and as a result Lucas based his visuals and strategy off that. In short, the location seems to dictate what century the battle styles come from. The battle of Hoth and Endor were done well (Minus Ewoks) If we were using modern weapons everything would be warheads and bombers. While it's efficient and smart, the way a battle look out ways any logical approaches Can you imagine how short the movie would be if the Trade Federation just fired missiles onto the grassy plains. The film makers want to put on a show! My problem is not that they used strategy from the wrong century, that's something I can accept. My problem is they use these outdated strategies poorly. For example, the battle of Naboo was fought like a battle in the Napoleonic war but even Napoleonic strategies involved flanking! At least the TF started with an artillery barrage.

I never said real military tactics are not interesting. I said that 19th century tactics are more fun to watch. Artistically speaking they lend themselves better to more spectacular visuals, cooler vehicles, and a longer span of action. While the battles of Geonosis and Kashyyyk was pointless and you never felt any form of attachment to the characters, you can not deny that they at least looked cool. On the other hand, take the movie Clear and Present Danger staring Harrison Ford. It's a much better film then the prequels and they use realistic military techniques. The government blows up the cartel's compound with an air to ground missal and everything is destroyed in seconds. It's a nice explosion and it's modern warfare at it's most basic but seeing droids, tanks, and gunships flying at each other is a much more entertaining visual.

Well the dumb tactics can be forgiven. All this falls under the rule of cool. It's much more fun see gun ships and infantry decimate Onderon terrorists rebels then to watch the C.I.S preform orbital bombardment. That approach actually is used quite a bit in some of the X-Wing novels but expecting to see such efficacy in the clone wars is asking a lot. What irritates me is just that lack of Separatist military leadership. General Griveous is going back and forth across the galaxy commanding the most mundane operations. After checking my atlas, I determined that Hondo's base is in an insignificant part of space that is already surrounded by Separatist worlds. Is sending the top military commander to settle a grudge the best use of his time? He sould be making serious attacks on major planets like Kashyyyk. It's the last year of the war so he might even be preparing for the attack on Coruscant. That was tactical genius and it took bravado. Something like that was probably in the works for awhile. The clone wars need to create leaders aside from tactical droids to command more insignificant attacks. Grievous sould not always be the fall guy. Why not some Phindians, Skakoans, or Zygerrians? They have personalities and have potential to be decent military leaders.

The problem is that George Lucas allays wants the characters in black and white. There are good guys with no negative traits and there are bad guys with no positive traits. Currently, Grievous comes across as a pathetic thug. That's a far cry form the character that is cunning and had never lost a battle. I wouldn't mind that much if he was cowardly but they sould at least make him a competent military commander. Right now he seems to be present during even the smallest engagements, I'm skeptical that the supreme commander of the droid armies would divert his time to stop help from reaching six younglings and a padawan. What the series needs is to create more competent separatist military leadership. Every time there is a commander during a battle it seems to be Grievous, this is not necessarily because he gets around but because he is the only separatist characters that has any personality. It seems like he's the only general in the entire army and that's quite frankly unrealistic. The Clone Wars sould create some new villains so they don't need to have Grievous travailing back and forth across the galaxy to fight the protagonists. When the move comes out, DIsney sould make someone with charisma. They sould not be over-the-top goofy and they need to make logical and competent strategic choices. I don't mind if they are a Ham, all I care about is that they demand some form of respect. .

OoC: Wow, getting sick playing a drinking game is pretty easy, but getting sick playing a drinking game with apple juice, that's a skill my friend. As for atrocities, you could certainly illiterate on the dino attack by mentioning the cost of damage, the lives lost, and the people displaced. It's a huge event and a lot of smaller incidents go along with it. I believe Solomon had a lot of regrets too, he had plenty of opportunities to speak out against Dr. Rx but he never did. He assisted in the mutant dinosaur research and helped create Stromlings alongside Dr. Provencal. Some of they emotional torments can be just as devastating as the physical. Some of the greatest wounds created by XERRD are the kind that can not be seen. Off course I've been doing thinking about the last few acting picks. I'm not a very big fan about giving the role of Montgonal to a big-name actor since he has such a small part but Jack Gyllenhaal is the only person who comes to mind. I like him but at the same time I think it would be better suited for someone more obscure. Maybe we sould give Hayden Christensen a second chance! No offense to Atton but I have decided that Bruce Greenwood might be a better Rockford. He often plays authority figures with a strong moral code and a sense of humor. His performance in Star Trek, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, and I, Robot were good influences on my choice. I still really like David Spade as Windows but perhaps Justin Bartha would suit your tastes better. He had a fun nerdy performance in National Treasure and I can picture him in a beard. He was on my short list for Hertz when I was picking him. I've been thinking about about Viper and I'm thinking he sould be played by some classic action star. His role would be a good place for a big-name actor like Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, or Jason Statham. The darkitect sould be played by someone who has a really evil sounding voice and can be a big ham, I think Ian McDiarmid would be a good choice. I'm working a a LDD diorama of Dust's death now in addition to the 13th floor. I have plenty of stuff to work on but I'm still looking foreword to these last few posts.

At this moment the 2010 version of Tahu sits on my coffee table. Not far away, Rahaga Iruini sits in a corner that has not seen the light of day for years.

Well I just need to accept the show is meant for children. It's just odd that some episode like this one are clearly catered to a younger audience well the Ventress/Maul arc last season was clearly more mature. The show seems to have such a huge range of dark to light content that not much falls between.

OoC: Alright, I changed the list and now we only have Windows, Jenny, Montgonal, the Darkitect, and Viper to still cast. One would think that the Darkitect and Viper would be easy to pick but they are both proving particularly bothersome. Now I honestly liked David Spade as Windows, I thought he had the deadpan snark and beard necessary to play the part very well. But if you don't like him I'm not going to put him in. My difficulty with Montgonal would probably be the lack of a description. Is he tall or short? Buff or lean? Older or younger? Does he ware glasses or have facial hair? What color is his hair or what is his ethnicity. This lack of detail is probably why he is so hard to cast. If you're stuck on Jenny, perhaps I could suggest Chloe Grace Moretz as Jenny. She has such an innocent face and I can picture her being beaten up Stephen Lang and Tim Robbins. (That probably sounds really weird) I mentioned earlier that Bruce Greenwood might make a good Rockford. Do you thing he would do a better job that Sam Neill? By the way, out cast now includes 102 actors and actresses! We've reached two page territory!

OoC: I'm sure he did it once. It seems in characters for him. So we're almost done. Recently I cast Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Raul Barabbas, David Spade as Windows, and Mark Strong as Colonel. I'm thinking I like ether Liam Cunningham or Jean Reno as Montgonal and that Afred Molina could be a good Dr. Strangbrick or Dr. Fuchs. If not, perhaps Max von Sydow could play the XERRD scientist? I also considered that Bruce Greenwood could be a good Rockford. Do you think he's better that Sam Neill? Only Viper, the Darkitect, and Jenny Stangebrick are left! Hopefully Jackson Lake and Atton Rand can finish their stuff soon or else we're going to need to find something else to do!

I stand by what I said earlier when I said that, to old LEGO Island fans such as myself, there's only one true Brickster, and that's David L. Lander. Surely, seeing him reprise the role (even if this is all only a hypothetical fun little project) would be a great nostalgic treat. It's certainly not impossible... I mean, Pixar got Erik von Detten to reprise his role as Sid in Toy Story 3, and Sid didn't even have a speaking role in that movie! OOC: Of course in the LEGO Island games he was only providng the voice. He didn't actually act physically for the part. I haven't seen a picture of him so I don't know if he'd actually look the part, let alone be able to act it physically. Immediately after that suggestion I actually thought of James Woods (who is a few years younger than Michael Douglas). You obviously can't deny that Michael Douglas is good for Korrupte (just look up his famous "Greed is Good" speech from Wall Street). Woods struck me as someone who could possibly capture Sinstorme's nature, the idea of a corrupt businessman, who straight up admits to it and is willing to do whatever is neccessary to stay on top of the market. ------This is where the quote ends------------------------------------------> OoC: I agree, these new quote tags are awful. PeabodySam, we could always switch Christopher Plumer's and Michal Gambon's roles around. Plumer could be King Race and Gambon could be Ben Gunn. I'm fine with David L. Lander being the brickster. He has some guest appearances on TV shows so it's not like he only does voice acting. As long as you're okay with the Brikster being played by a 65 year old I can put him on the list. Most of the villains are old so that might not be too big a deal. As for Dr. Cyborg he certainly has his dramatic tendencies. He did quite a bit of theatrics when fighting Cyrista's Bane like preforming absurd and meaningless acrobatics because it was cool and adding soundtracks to battles. When he wants to Cyborg can be a big Ham. Wow guys, we're almost done. We only have Fuch, Windows, Viper, and Montgonal to still cast. We're going to need to find a new activity to take up time well we wait for Jackson to post. EDIT: I was thinking Christopher Meloni or Mark Strong could be Colonel, I forgot about him. We might need a voice for the Darkitect too. EDIT2: How about David Spade as Windows?

Oh, I think we've had a bit of a misunderstanding. Mort's not particularly badman at all -- at least, not in that sense. I'm not sure where the notion that he is fit and muscled came from; he's pale and limping -- not exactly slight, but certainly not big. He may speak and act a bit like Sherlock, but in terms of physique, he's a bit more like Grima Wormtongue. OoC: Really? You don't say? I suppose it was his interactions with other characters rather then his physical feats that made me come to that conclusion. If that's the case maybe someone like Kevin Bacon (about 5' 10.5") or Joaquin Phenox (whom I mentioned above) is the best choice. Atton, thanks for your input on Rockford. I've decided to select Sam Neill based on your recommendation. Now we need Fuchs, WIndows, the Brickster, Adventure, Viper and Ben Gunn. Those are the only big names we have left! OOC: Well, for Adventure you'd probably need a loveable handsome Australian actor. How about Hugh Jackman? He could probably pull it off, stick him in a bush hat. He actually did play that sort of character in Australia. For Fuchs you'd need to find someone who could pull off the calm professional attitude and can act like a real scientist. I'm not even sure where to begin with Windows just yet. OoC: Hugh Jackman would be great. I've been thinking about my two minor scientists Raul and Ingrid. Raul will need to be a scary Russian/Turk with a full beard and I'm certainly having a hard time making a choice. Window's is hard for the same reason because it's hard to find actors with big beards and/or imagine them with a big beard. On a more minor casting call I'm thinking Naveen Andrews from the English Patient could be a good Anubis.

What are their heights? OoC: Eric Bana is 6' 2.5" and is 44 years old. You probably know him from Star Trek Zachary Quinto is 6' 1" and is 35 years old. You probably know him from Star Trek Christopher Meloni is 6' 0.5'' and is 51 years old. You probably would know him from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Joaquin Phenoix is 5' 8" and is 38 years old. You probably know him from Gladiator Would you consider Mort buff or lean? I know he's something of a bad@#$ so I assumed he would be relatively muscled. Most of the actors I picked are not that big but I still tried for people that are in good shape.

OoC: Bummer, I did not realize that. It's a shame because I really like Tony Shalhoub for the part. Do you think there is to much of an age divide or do you think he could keep the part? OOC: I'm not entirely sure. Realistically it would be a bit much if we're to believe Natalie Portman is Tony Shalhoub's sister. Of course, when it comes to acting there may be ways around that if you have a good make-up artist on board. Either that or it may be neccessary to find an alternative actress that's closer in age to do Carrie. For Rockford, I'm finding I want to say Kevin Spacey for some reason. OoC: Well Harrison Ford and Sean Connery were about the same age when they filmed the Last Crusade so amazing things are possible. It's just harder to make someone look younger then it is to make someone look older. It's noteworthy that this RPG already has Liam Neeson and Olivia Thirlby cast as lovers. They have a 34 year age difference so it would hardly be the biggest gap. I'm not so sure Kevin Spacy works for the part of Rockford. His trademark is that he plays cold or sadistic characters. That's really not Rockford, Rockford is a great guy who has the love of his men. The only movie I've seen him in where he inspires affection is in Pay It Foreword. Rockford will also need to have good chemistry with whoever plays Agent Mur too. I have not even begun thinking about that can o' worms. Lets think about that well you pick someone for Fuchs and Windows.

OoC: Bummer, I did not realize that. It's a shame because I really like Tony Shalhoub for the part. Do you think there is to much of an age divide or do you think he could keep the part? I've been doing a lot of thinking about Commander Rockford and I'm having a really hard time. I narrowed it down to 12 people and I'm not necessarily existed about any of them. Right now picking Rockford is my priority so if you have any ideas I would love to hear them. Kevin Costner (Westerns) Kevin Spacey (Often plays cold and sadistic characters) Jarred Harris (Raspy voice) Victor Garber Titus Welliver James Spader Neil Flynn Ted Levine (Often plays some type of authority figure) Eric Roberts (Low-key, yet softly gravel voice) Sam Neill Richard Belzar (His love of Conspiracy Theories) Mark Harmon (Silver hair) I still need a decision from avmatoran about who could play Kara Wise. Kirsten Dunst Bryce Dallas Howard Kate Mara Amanda Seyfried It seems avmatoran has provided me with Kara's choice. Thank you very much and I will edit the list right now. I still would like a decision on Mort too. To refresh Jackson Lake's memory here are the picks I originally made. Christopher Meloni (Piercing blue eyes) Eric Bana Joaquin Phenoix (Deep husky voice) Zachary Quinto (Often plays villains or troubled anti-heroes) I still need Fuchs and Windows from Atton Rand. I've just been leaving that up to him because I've been working hard on Rockford. I could certainly use some help in that department so assistance making a pick would be great. I'm also thinking that I like Don Cheadle as Ata. Any more recommendations are always welcome.

Was anyone else irritated by the Pit droid in this week's episode? Not only was his reason for being on the mission entirely meaningless but he misrepresented what Serv-O-Droid DUM-Series Pit Droid sould be. Those are class 5 droid which means they sould be little more then a single purpose piece of hardware. Pit droid fix vehicles, that's it, seeing one preform tasks like flying a ship is both unrealistic and beyond their capabilities. One developing such abstract features as sarcasm and a since of pride seems like something that's what basic design would allow. Also, since these are military droids I would expect they would receive memory wipes to keep them from developing personalities. And why would they even bring one along? Not only would a DUM-Series droid be horribly unequipped for the task but a basic Astromech would be a far superior pilot. An astromech's whole purpose is to monitor flight performance and navigate hyper space. They make fine pilots, far better then an off the shelf mechanic droid. Even if having the pit droid was unavoidable a better move would have been to smack it on the noise and leave it in the shuttle. There would be less chance of loosing it on the ship or it drawing attention to the mission. It would be right back where it was needed and would create no danger of causing trouble. Plus, the Colonel would not have to deal with it. My final complaint is the weird names for the droids. Why use such random numbers instead of the basic R2, R4, and R5? I also am skeptical about how common an Astromech would be on a Separatist ship. I would imagine the CIS would use droids more closely integrated with the ship and would work better with the rest of the droid crew. Since the CIS does not use Astromechs with their starfighters there would be no need for them to navigate hyper drive coordinators. Most CIS ships don't even have a hyper drive! I'm sorry, I'm probably being really nit-picky and over thinking this. It just bothered me.

OoC: Alright, the list has been edited based on your specifications. The part of Soldier remains open. For now lets try to focus on the main parts. Ata, Fuchs, Windows, Shaw, and Rockford are the main characters that have yet to be cast. I have other work to do today but I'll try to get back tomorrow.

OOC: That's precisely the fun in this activity. You have to work with your mental image, and find someone who can fit that role. It's quite challenge in my case especially with the expies where just casting the original actor isn't going to work (i.e. Kurt Russel's aged some thirty years since Escape From New York, so obviously he can't play Snake, Lee Van Cleef can't play Angel Eyes since he died in 1989, so in both cases you have to find alternate actors who can give off the same vibe). In your case it's even more of an intellectual challenge. I mean you must have an idea of what your characters look like, sound like, and their basic mannerisms, so all you got to do is find actors who look close enough (or who would look the part with some make-up and the right wardrobe, i.e. Stephen Fry would look enough like French Fries if you gave him the mustache) and who you think could capture the persona of each of your cast. OoC: Exactly, it's about thinking outside the box and stretching one's imagination. It's about really thinking deeply about the character and finding someone who can capture the subtleties of a him or her. When you think of someone as only a minifigure it can really limit the potential of the character. I could think of Hertz as just a blocky yellow guy mode of four bricks or I could think of him as Zacharay Levi who can show show way more layers then a minifigure ever could. In addition, when I start work on my Dino attack art I'm going to want faces to model the character's on. I'm going to do a little shuffling. Zelda will not be played by Olivia Thirlby and Stranger can be played by Stephen Amell. I don't know if 66 is too old or not but if you think R. Lee Ermey won't work because of it might I suggest John C. McGinley as an alternative? He played a great @#$% in platoon and a funny crazy guy in scrubs. If Andrewnuva is abstaining we need someone for Rockford. Him, Ata, Kara, Adventure, Mort, Viper, Ben Gunn, and Montgonal are all the big names that we have left. I think we sould find someone other then Noomi Rapace to play Dr. Shaw too.

OoC: I'm not so sure about that. A bartender sould be someone who you feel safe confiding secrets in. Buschemi seems a little too twitchy and untrustworthy. Maybe someone closer to Tony Shalhoub? To specify, we still need Ata, Stranger, Shaw, Rockford, Kara, the Brickster, Adventure, Mort, Viper, Ben Gunn, Montgonal, the Bartender, and Anubis, roughly in that order. the 2nd Headquarters squad still needs to be filled too. Stellen Skarsgard actually might be a good Spy, I could actually like the sound of that Who is Ronald E. Army? I can's find him on IMDB What do you think about finding a part for John C. McGinly and Sean Bean?

OoC: Ha, PeabodySam, I was wondering when I would here from you again. Odveously me and Atton have been pretty busy on this project or our's and I'm happy to hear you input. I have a lot of respect for your idea and as a result a lot of your cast has been changed to your specifications. Well Ben Affleck just stared in the movie Agro. He's been off the radar lately but his performance might get him an Oscar. He's a talented actor and he sould have no problem playing a complex charter like Rex. Ironically, I recently saw him on a commercial that supported a charity... for paralyzed veterans. I often will pick the creator's casting choice over my own. If you think John Noble would be good then who am I to argue? Age sould be no problem, Actors can often play characters a decade older then themselves. I think the only work I've seen from Noble is the Return of the King. Personalty, it's not much to go on but I trust your judgment. Man, I love Lance Reddick. He had a role in LOST too where he played a rather creepy representative of the man I based the Englishmen on. He has charisma and authority which is just awesome. He would be a perfect pick for Specs. I've been rather hesitant do do any race lifts with characters but if anyone would sould be a bold black leader guy it sould be Specs. Being too geeky was a concern of mine too. I think he has talent as an actor and if you have any doubt about him playing serious badman I only refer you to this photo. I even think he would look okay with bright red hair. Fair enough, it might just be that I associate him so much with Barbossa. It just seemed too close and I was reather put off. If you think he sould reprise his role as a very piratey pirate then so be it. As for, Noomi Shaw, I might just need to recast her. I might have just been lazy and locked in the first person who came to mind. Atton, if you have any ideas for someone other then Noomi Rapace I'd be glad to here them. HaHa, I never realized that. Christopher Lee is hereby General. I thought Johny Depp's presence in the RPG would just create a huge turn for the weird. Weird is exactly the thing we need from whoever plays Pyro so his performance would be perfect. He's certainly good at being a crazy person with no sense of personal space. If you want some Ham from Terence Stamp, I need only refer you to Superman II. He plays general Zod and his character is similar to Ogel in many regards. He also was chancellor Valorum in Star Wars but that did little to influence my choice. Mostly it's just how scary he is. Kneel before Zod! I really did not consider how Hammy McDowell was. Atton wanted him in so I just tried to find him a part. Their have been several people who I would love to see in the RPG cast, particularly Stellan Skarsgård, John C. McGinley, and now Sean Bean. If anyone has any ideas for them I'm open to recommendations. I could imagine them being Montgonal or the Bartender. I believe that a lot of the 2nd Headquarters squad still need to be cast too. Back to my point, I still think McDowell would make a fine Breen. That reminds me I sould start working on that again. Recently I've been kicking myself for building it in LDD standard instead of the expanded version. I don't know how to send it so I've been stuck with just a few colors and mini figure parts. Personally, I want to see your new headquarters build. I saw an image a few days ago and have been dieing to see the interior. I was planing to write an analysis, back when I remembered what I was going to say. It's time like this where I wished I wrote down my ideas. I do remember there where a lot of things I wanted to say and I'll try and remember them for your sake. I do have one more think I want to post. If I don't do it here it will be on DiviantART. Ether way, this won't be the last you here from me and my characters. I've been working on the Dino 2012 miniseries that will star Hertz and Dr. Cyborg and several art pieces in class. EDIT: It seems Brikman has returned . Ahh, you read about LOST, I'm touched. Martin Keamy an influence for Blair, manly his badmaness that his size. I think he could be pretty darn intimidating with bleached white hair. Admittedly I based the pick mostly around her preference in the CW series Arrow. I was a rather contrived decision based mostly around her brooding attitude and sense she's hiding something. If you have another idea I'm all ears. Jake Abel it is. I figured Oswald would need to be some sort of bad boy. Patricia Clarkson would be a good choice. I saw her in shutter island and it was a good preference. Marion Cotillard would be a spectacular Provencal, she did awesome in the Dark Knight Rises and can be very sadistic. I think they are both good picks Great! I think that only leaves Andrewnuva's characters, Viper, and a handful of minor and NPCs. I threw out a few names for Mort earlier, if Jackson wants to review those that would be cool.

OoC: Atton, have you considered Nester Carbonell, Berry Pepper, or Colin Farell as Bogart? Bogart has a relatively small part so it might be odd to give it to a big name like Colin Farell. I like Nester Carbonell but I don't know about adding a sixth actor from LOST.

The Onua claws are just plane awful but the the classic 2x4 brick can cause just as much pain when it wants blood.

OoC: Aright, so here is the Catless shortlist. They where all considered for the role of Katniss in the Hunger Games so I think they all have the right qualities. Just pick someone who you think looks the part. Saoirise Ronan Jodelle Ferland Lyndsy Fonseca Shailene Woodley Kara wise is harder because I don't have many qualifications. I figured she would be about the same age as Dr. Cyborg so that somewhat narrowed it down. Here is the short list I made. Kirsten Dunst Bryce Dallas Howard Kate Mara Amanda Seyfried Atton, have you done any thinking about Bogart, Dr. Crusher, Carrie, Fuchs, and Montgonal? I think they are all I have left for your characters. Help picking someone to play Viper and Joesph Race would be appreciated too. EDIT: just thought Jake Abel or Kevin Zegers could pull off Oswald Fabello

OoC:Woody Harrelson would actually be pretty good. He's a real underrated actor.I'll put John Rhys-Davies on the list too. I never imaged Helm as a big guy but I can sure picture Rhys-David with a sailor cap. Jackon may have a point about Martin Freeman being Sam Race, he seems a little old but I don't think his age was ever specified. It might just be that I associate the name Sam with young people.I was thinking about some names Atton threw out. Malcom MacDowell could make a decent Walter Breen and Harry Dean Stanton could be Sam Sinister if we slapped a monocle on him and combed his hair.I was thinking Gabriel Macht could pull of Agent Osprey well. I don't know about Mort however, I don't know if his body type is buff or lean. If he's buff Christopher Meloni could be good but he's 18 years to old. Eric Bana is cool but he's 11 years to old. Joaquin Phenoix or Zachary Quinto might also be good and they are a more appropriate age for the part.EDIT: I just thought Jackie Erle Harley could be a good Shadow

OoC:He's actually pretty big right now. He was in Premium Rush, Looper, G.I. Joe: the Rise of Cobra, Inception, and especially The Dark Knight Rises. Have you considered who could be Catless or Kara Wise? I don't know how old ether of them are but I think Shailene Woodley could play one of them.Also, PeabodySam, we have not herd from you in awhile. I know you've been watching and I've assumed you've just been waiting for Jackson, Atton, and avmatoran to finish their stuff. I noticed you posted a new photo of the headquarters on the wiki and I think I speak for all of us when I say we would love to see more. You're input on this actor discussion would also be cool.
