The Sixth Sense...

Watched it and guess 10 minutes into the movie that Bruce Willis ** spoiler omitted **

and I sat in utter boredom while my then-girlfriend (now wife!) enjoyed every minute of it.

I had the same problem with Shymalan's "Unbreakable" -- ten minutes in, and I knew the twist. I didn't want to know it -- but I did. I remember sitting in the theater thinking "Oh, no -- it _can't_ be that, can it? I can't be the only guy on the planet who reads super-hero comics, and knows where Sam Jackson fits into all of this, can I?

But I called it, and I had to sit through the entire film like I'd already seen it.

I just wanted to say how impressed I am that this thread has gone on for as long as it has, and yet, everyone has managed to remain intelligent, articulate, and civil even as some of the most volatile topics of our time (faith, atheism, politics, Islam, American foreign policy, the Middle-Eastern situation)are discussed at length.

Not only does this discussion continue to take the high ground, there's even room made for humor.

You could certainly teach the rest of the internet, and what passes for the media these days, a thing or ten.

Thanks for solving the mystery of Steven Kurtz's disappearance from rpg writing. I, too, loved everything I saw by him, and I often wondered where and why he vanished. My own web searches turned up nothing helpful, so I'm happy to finally know.

I managed to track down another "vanished" writer I liked from that general time-frame -- David Eckelberry. While Kurtz was my favorite of the two, I always felt Eckelberry was solid and reliable, even if he didn't always impress me as consistently as Kurtz did.

Turns out Eckelberry has been working as a producer on the Dungeons & Dragons Online MMORPG for a while now ...

Thanks again,
