An Imperial Admiral (correct me if i'm wrong on his actual rank, but that's what my memory claims) that is supposed to be this amazing tactician. He's also a race with red eyes and all blue skin.

I think the other way around, where he was made in the books, with a significant story arc, and now they're slowly moving him into the visual media (he's prominent in Star Wars Rebels cartoon).

In recent months I read Easy Riders, Raging Bulls (about the great 70s directors) and Down and Dirty Pictures (great 90s directors, Miramax and Sundance). Right now plowing my way through City of Nets, which is sort of a mosaic of 1940s Hollywood.
Shock Value is so good I don't have words to show my joy so much knowledge
.
This should be mandatory reading in schools worldwide

yeah, i'm finished. there were some possible inaccuracies. (like the black christmas/halloween stuff) and he seemed to rag on 21st century horror, which i didn't like. but it was a good listen or read, depending on how you did.

Finished. Great book and I find the Black Christmas/Halloween stuff to be completely believable.

i can buy halloween being inspired by black christmas. but that's the extent of it. also a black christmas sequel would have undone a lot of the power of the original.

They get hit-or-miss

But Moonraker is shockingly good. Nothing like the movie.
