BladeZoners' last thoughts pre-12/18/2007
I honestly never dreamed that any of us would be here -- did you?? The BR Ultimate Collection is the epitome of a pipe dream come true, the ultimate "what if?", something that me and my friends would geek out over in rabid speculation years ago even before the project was announced. And that it's now almost here for us North American BR devotees to explore and cherish and adore is almost too surreal - seriously, I'm partially convinced that I'll wake up tomorrow and the last few months will all have been a long, blissful online mirage; but for today, the Best Buy advertisement in the local paper for the Ultimate Collection is sweeter and more meaningful to me than any fortune cookie prophecy.
I'm out the door to catch one more matinee of the FC at the local Landmark theater in Minneapolis, but just wanted to once again (and I'm sure it won't be the last time) give thanks to Ridley Scott, Charles de Lauzirika, all BR-FC/Ultimate Collection cast & crew, the BladeZone website and its moderators, and all the rest of us BR & BZ afficionados and amigos, for making this the happiest holiday season ever. Can't wait to trade our thoughts and observations after Tuesday with all of you. 48 more hours, folks. See you all on the other side.
