Call me snake.

I was just thinking about Escape form New York and one of the driving elements of that movie is how Snake is infamous and has a reputation and everyone thinks he's dead.

I suppose it works in much the same way as cowboy movies: it is implied that the character is badass more than it is shown to the audience they are.

It's a nice story device because it lets the audience use their imagination -- which is always more vivid than seeing it. But it's also a way of being economic: to not clog the story up with too much back story, and to cut the special effects budget down a bit because you don't need to show the action.

But it makes me wonder if this is something used more in movies than in #books. It's clear the movie industry would adopt any trick that would cut costs, but books don't have to so much.

However, I imagine it's used in books just as much.

Snake Plissken - I thought you were dead? Not if you play the excellent #EscapeFromNewYork he isn't, and especially not if you use the Esoteric Order of Gamers rules & reference!

"Hey babe, wanna escape from New York, and maybe grill some shapeshifting things from outer space ?"
-Erm... yeah, duh !

Surfed into Escape from New York tonight. The rule is you have to continue watching until someone tells Snake they thought he was dead. Generally doesn't take very long unless you're near the end. In which case, you may as well watch to the end.

Watching a jet fly into a New York City skyscraper in Escape From New York hits different now.
