    No one paid my list any attention at all either. See if you can figure them out without cheating.

    Remember, I'm a massive film and comic book nerd.

    Devlin-MacGregor Pharmaceuticals - The Fugitive
    Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles (CHOAM) - Dune
    Veidt Industries - Watchmen
    Blue Sun - Firefly
    Multinational United - District 9


    I nearly put Multinational and Blue Sun in mine, to be fair. Luckily I saw The Fugitive a few days ago, otherwise I wouldn't have remembered that.

    No point in asking you my list, they're pretty obvious to you and me.

    I think it would be cool if the club actually did use one of ours for a sponsor. There are plenty of opportunities coming up that a kit could help advertise for a movie. There are a bunch of sci-fy movies alone that are coming up in which a company or org exists that we could use such as Aliens, Terminator, Star Wars, Ready Player One, The Martian even TV shows like Leviathan Awakes. I imagine kit sales would also go through the roof.

    Honor system, no googling. Hint, both books are sci-fi series. I am sure you have read both so it shouldnt be to obscure.

    United Minning Companies

    CDF is Old Man's War, but I cannot for the life of me remember what UMC is from. I know I've read it, but can't remember the title.

    They are working on an Old Wan's War TV show for the sy-fy channel. UMC is the corporation in the Gap Series by Stephen R Donaldson the guy who did the Thomas Covenant Series.

    Yea it's one of those serious sci-fi books that the average reader overlooks. He is a great author but his stuff probably won't be made into movies as the more pop stuff in the genres seem to be what they go with. The Thomas Covenant Series is far better than Lord of the Rings (if you can get past disliking the main character) and The Gap Cycle is far more complex than all the pop movies (Star Trek, Star Wars) in that genre. He is good at taking the opposite approach to a genre than other authors use.

    One of them. It isn't the best though. That IMO belongs to Band of Brothers or (for nostalgic reasons) the Batman Animated Series.

    It is an absolute disgrace that Firefly had only one series and an average movie.
