Don't worry. Once you write it, you'll find the exact idea in a dozen other books smile

Okay, new flooring in the computer room so I can finally set up my computer and check FIYH... oh hell so many posts.

Warner Brothers, having all their big series end on them, apparently is going to try adapting Ann McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern books. I'll be interested to see what they do with them, who they put in charge (Ronald Moore of Star Trek and Galactica fame was a day away from filming on a TV series when he pulled the plug over refusal to let the network turn it into a teen drama). I LOVE the first six or so books, but continuity is an unholy mess, the author's attempts to fix things not working imho. There is a lot to draw from, though, and if they can get the characters right...

Uh, today I learned that Joel Silver is one of the co-inventors of Ultimate Frisbee.

I'm pretty sure that's a comedy video making fun of how generic that trailer is.

We have "whoring" to thank for the Sistine Chapel, many of Shakespeare's plays and nearly all of his sonnets, WIZARD OF OZ, GONE WITH THE WIND, and much of the work of Sidney Lumet. Oh, and all those Marvel movies the kids love so much.

IMO the difference between a hack and an artist isn't why you took the gig, it's whether you bring your A-game once you've got it.

Coppola only did Godfather I and II (and probably part III?) for the money smile

Ditto Cameron with Terminator 2 (he needed a safe hit after The Abyss bombed), didn't stop him from bringing his A-game.

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread

Unless there's a "random talk about the podcast" thread that I've missed, I'll put this here:

Sometimes my mp3 player gets glitchy if I don't add files in a really specific way and it does weird stuff like mix up names and running times or plays half of something and finishes with half of something else. And sometimes the play speed bugs out and speeds up. In the latter case, it's done this a couple of times with WAYDM, when Eddie's been on the show. My first thought is always "why does this sound like four chipmunks and one normal guy?"

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread

It's really nice that the Indiana Jones films didn't just have one kind of god. Raiders/Crusade had the Christian (and by extension Muslim) God, Temple of Doom had gods (plural!) from Hinduism, and they had also written a script which they'd intended to film, but definitely didn't, in which aliens were real.

My only hope with the possible continuation of the Indy franchise is that they continue to validate different cultures' gods. I guess if they made a 4th film, that Egyptian gods would be a logical one. Or maybe something Austronesian. That would be nice smile
