I have no start tomorrow...no structure...not good. I'm gonna go and write some more of my nasty Drak war fic. It'll make me feel better- if I don't start having shit scary dreams like it gave me before- I was going too dark. But it was working so well!
Go to sleep Marcus, (I am so unloved) Yes Marcus, no one loves you (I'll just go throw myself out an airlock then) You'll have to find your way out of my head first!!
I think my favourite Lennier one is the one with the toy robot from Lost In Space. "Danger Will Robinson!" He's quite the speedy ad-libber, though, is Bill Mumy, so he does tend to feature quite a lot.
QOTD:
Sinclair: "I've heard it was the religious caste who issued the religious ... kerfungabooboo."
I'd forgotten all about the damn bloopers sound archive. Now I'm wasting my time there again! I have 46,000 words to proof read, damn it!
Thems lots of words to read! Hope it was worth it!
yeah, the lost in space one was good. I HOPE thats on the pitiful blooper reel we'll get with S5-
Was the aquatech building on the flight path? (I said we seem to be on the flight path again today!- reggie Perrin!!)
ISN Reporter, "The conditions inside Babylon 5 are another matter all together." Lennier, "(sings) Nothing is real..." ISN Reporter, "But that's not the full extent of it." Lennier, "(sings) And nothing to get hung about."
Sinclair, "Proctologist for the commander, please." - ah, putting pressure on your brains again Jeff!!
Oh about that scene I was having so much trouble doing last night- turns out I already had a draft of it!!!! Silly ranger!
Where are you getting those bloopers from? Is it the DVD's, because I've found a few blooper reels on the discs, but they are only a few minutes long and I don't recall seeing half of the stuff Crazy & Mickey have mentioned.
And back to Marcus's accent. Is that the correct Blackpool accent? Is it a put on accent or is that what Jason Carter really souds like? It is an English accent, so who thinks its fake? Us Brits because it's from the wrong part of the country, or the Yanks because it's not a upper class 'proper' accent or a working class 'cockney wide boy' accent?
And one last wee point that bugged BRG. Why does the ISN newscast have a title sequence showing the Earth above the North American continent, then the first words out of the anchor womans mouth are "This is ISN, broadcasting live from Geneva, Switzerland"? Surely the globe in the titles should have been centered on Europe! Totally meaningless, but these things piss BRG off! BRG
PS- Good to hear from you again Linka. Only wish it was under better circumstances.
It's the yanks on the accent BRG- hense Rangers angry geography lesson of 2 this morning.
Oh Americans. They probably think Europes in south america so showing part of europe wouldn't help them.
Bloopers are sound clips from http://b5.sdvc.uwyo.edu/bab5/- may have a few spoilers in there for you, but you've seen most of it. Look out for Bruces Billy-bob Thornton impression!
I love the blooper where Rick walks in and Says "Hello Doctor- Doctor?" I vow I will always think of Rick screwing up his lines and loving it.
Or the one where he's talking about Delenn, and asks Lennier if she wouldn't be better being cared for by her own doctors. Lennier says "You're right, I hadn't thought of that. You're fired." Poor Stephen.
there is a uncut blooper tape copied from the set.... I seen it once at a con and it is great love to get a copy.. my best laught on that one is from severed dreams sheridan ask "where's genral hague" and the answer came back "he on DS9" as he had a job on DS9 and could not do B5
I is not enought to live you have to have something to live for
Innocent looking Billy coming out with all of those!!
Okay, i have a dilemma. As (one day- hopefully in the next year)I will watch all of B5 in order- Which do I watch first: ITB or The Gathering? JMS said start with ITB (no I didn't email him yet, I looked on "Lurkers")...but It takes place in three different time frames- the intro which is s4, WWE- Londo, and The Minbari war! The whole series is ment to be people looking back and remembering (Hence Londos V:O at the beginning of "The gathering,") Maybe I should go Pilot, ITB, S1...
And when the hell is season 5 coming out? For once in my life I want to watch it (My tapes are getting pretty knackered)!!!. My SIL been watched so many times- and it crackles- and it's the worst episode to have crackling over as the sound FX are minimal in the background and it's very verbal. Grr.
QOTD:
"I like that Joe Straczynski fella; He's got a big heart."
All I can find out so far is "expect S5 by October". As for which to watch first; newbies should watch The Gathering, as ITB has spoilers for WWE amongst others. Old hands can start with ITB though, as we know what happens. It's up to you really. It's a nice starting piece, with the war, and Sinclair slotted in, and it works as a prologue. The box set with extras of all five films comes out in the States in August (though the UK is still going ahead with the bare bones 3-film set in July), so look for S5 from August onwards, and with luck we'll then get the 5-film box set by the end of the year. With extras. And potentially a really poignant a/c featuring Rick Biggs.
Oh man, i'm not sure I can deal with listening to a Rick Biggs comentary for quite a while.
So its just as well I bought ITB and The Gathering on DVD earlier (Both half price- I wasn't forking out £20 each and I can't ever be bothered to but thoses two online). So we only get a three box set!!(Until the end of the year)How weak!(But I suppose if you do have the others on Vanilla you don't want them again- unless your being really fanatic- i'm just digging a bigger hole here, right?).
Ok, heres a question. Why is CC not credited on ITB? Did her agents not know she was going to be in it? Was she payed? Was it a Claudia clone (CCC ) Did they decide that the two minutes of her time was not title-worthy? Just me wondering at the universe again.
I can't believe how much I just cried at the battle of the line. It was something to do with the speech the president gave before it. How shaky her voice is... scares me.
I'd like S5 while I can still afford it! Before I go from O.K to really poor in September!!!(pluss I don't wanna haul too many vids to uni)
You wouldn't likely be able to play them at uni anyway. They don't even have the technology for playing data crystals yet, let alone vids...
I never got around to buying Thirdspace, Call To Arms or... that other one. Just ITB and The Gathering (which really freaks me out, I have to say. Delenn's make-up job is just scary). So I'd quite like to get the five set with extras. I have a bit of a thing for commentaries anyway, especially if they're anything like the ones for the episodes. Bruce and Jerry in particular have been very good value!
There are all kinds of complicated rules involving putting people in credits. Originally CC wasn't featured in the credits for The Deconstruction Of Falling Stars, for example (though Jason was) because of complicated contract whatsits. Credited then must be paid, credited as main then must be paid as main, etc. By not crediting her fully for her appearance, they'd get away with paying her less. When did they make ITB anyway, I forget? If it was after she left then that might explain why she doesn't get a main credit. What they did about Sinclair I don't know, since technically they just reused old footage from S1. Legal whosits. All important stuff!
I like the idea of a Claudia clone though. With Janeway impersonation capability. If she was a VR one, we could insert her into S5 and airbrush out Tracy "Nails!" Scoggins.
Mr O'Haire is down as a special guest appearance- and his is all old footage. Her footage is all new and shes not credited(be it main, guest, special guest star or plain supporting- she aint there)! ITB's billed as a TNT movie- so wouldn't that be after the big change? Wouldn't that mean that Claudia wasn't working for them...wait a mo. She must of signed for 3rdspace, but not for ITB...I think ITB was made after 3rdsp. Is it possible she wanted to do one more bit and just didn't mention it to her agents or anyone?...That way they couldn't really ask her for money because technically she's not in it. Hmm.
Oh Mick- I have a fanfic Claudia clone whos going into my slightly alternate season 5 on ff.net...but don't think for a minute things are going to be bright and happy because Ivanovas still there! Thats what I was fretting over the other night- The fact that "No Comprimises" Is mostly limited to what Lockley did in that episode...Grr.
Like your new fic mick. Lots of Dramatic cloak sweeping !! And where does Marcus get his unattainable perishable goods from?...
Wait a mo...heres a scene for you:
Morden: What do you want? Marcus: Bacon and eggs. Can your associates deal with that?
Marcus has his methods. And bloody hell you read quick!
quote:but don't think for a minute things are going to be bright and happy because Ivanovas still there!
Good! I like to think that you're above the tacky Marcus/Ivanova shipper fic. With the happy endings, and the children, and the... okay, I'm going to go away and throw up now.
Franklin: "Thirty cwedits. Cwedits?" Garibaldi: "Cwedits? Wow, ya scwewy wabbit!"
Yep, we're back to the outtakes again. Stephen's dad gets into the action nicely too, doesn't he. Must run in the family!
