Alan "Nordling" Cerny has lived in Texas all his life, but don't hold it against him. The local sheep have that covered. He's written film reviews for Ain't It Cool News and Steven Spielberg once wrote him a letter saying he was a "very good writer," but this is the guy who thought it was a good idea to make Tom Cruise's kid alive at the end of WAR OF THE WORLDS when he should have been worm food, so take that as you will. "Nordling" was the name of Alan's favorite D&D character growing up, but he died violently, and Alan just can't seem to let go.
