    I don't think sunglasses were invented back then. OR WERE THEY? (Dun dun dun)

      Well, there was that very....

       

      questionable scene in the beginning.

      Yes. It was an, uh, unusual decision. I found the result quite ridiculous m'self. If you want to make filler for an eagerly-anticipated adaptation of an acclaimed comic, make GOOD filler.

    Roman emperor in the AD era. Famous for not getting murdered, being backed by the Senate, being a successful warrior and builder and having reshaped the design of Rome. Claudius.

    Finished Dog Soldiers. Great read. Also onto volume 2 of Underworld U.S.A. -- The Cold Six Thousand. It's great. The really short sentences aren't as off-putting as everyone seems to think they are--I think they work rather well, though I'll agree with Ellroy's self-assessment of it having too much style and not quite enough emotion.

    There is something sneaky about that man's foxlike eyes.

    Not quite sure if that's Transformers​TM related or not...

    “Heck no, this is my favourite show! Too bad the main actors are dead now. THANKS TO YOU.” "I WAS TOTALLY NOT DRUNK ON NEWFOUND POWER AT THE TIME". [pause] "Makuta, did someone ever tell you that you aren't as good a liar as you think you are?"

    Pagan Babies by Elmore Leonard. Depite an amazing blurb, it isn't one of Dutch's best. However, it is absorbing, has good dialogue and some memorable moments. Reading Libra by Don DeLillo - a brilliant novelistic exploration of the effect on society of Lee Harvey Oswald and the J.F.K. assassination, pushing the assassination's metaphysical side to life. I can see how Ellroy was inspired to write American Tabloid and the rest of the Underworld U.S.A. trilogy after reading it.

    “PFFT. GOSSIP SHOWS. AHKMOU CHANGE THE CHANNEL PLEASE.”"Very well ,Master". FZZT. "Here on the island of Stelt, Sidorak is discovering the consequences of sculling five bottles of Slundaperg Rum the previous night. ​Argh. My head. Hurts. Bad. Can't even talk. ​Boss? Makuta at door. Wants to get in. ​Did YOU. Scull Slundy too. Last night, Krekka? ​Erm, Sidorak, that's the way he always talks. ​Think I've got. Amnesia... Meanwhile, on another part of the island, the Korlione Family are plotting a raid on the 'K' Clan's warehouses..." "REALITY GANGSTER TV. A NEW FAD. THIS BORES ME, AHKMOU.

    Currently reading Neuromancer by William Gibson - the original cyberpunk and still amazing thirty-two years on. Also reading Deadwood by Pete Dexter and Dog Soldiers by Robert Stone.

    A nice MOC with some Krekka vibes and that classic MOC feel that makes me nostalgic. Good job!

    Some anime bloke looking into the camera. Middle aged gunrunner Eddie Coyle looking sad in a bar from the classic '70s crime-drama ​The Friends of Eddie Coyle​. (the next person's probably gonna quote this)

    Hey, that's pretty sweet for a first MOC. I'm with The Root on saying that it'd look sleeker if there were less studs on it, but other than that - it's a MOC anyone could be pleased with and proud of. I know it's a Chevy Camaro (and can identify it as one), but it vaguely reminds me of the flash utes I've seen a number of lads driving about my town in. Your girlfriend has a good MOCing future ahead of her. Congrats!
