Happy Birthday! Bonne fête Mr. Donaldson!

There was a thread about this a couple of years ago. Made some comments on this new translation here . " Turpide le Rogue " is indeed a quite flashy/in-your-face way of saying he was a rogue turpitudinous Lord... just as " Lord Foul " was a flashy/in-your-face way of saying he wa...

Ok, for this one time only...
(and to avoid the Purge)

My editors [have] given me their comments and suggestions

"Mr. Donaldson... 1600 pages is a bit... too much? Could you please condense to half of that?!"

One year?

I'm not sure of the source, but I believe it is a co-operative venture for the sightless between Books-on-tape and the US Library of Congress. From what I understand, these are special readings, among many others, aimed at visually-impaired persons -- blind or semi-blind people. So it's not a high-...

It was definitely our dear Ur-Lord Lysolbreath.

Well, downloaded, browsed a bit through it, seems legit: "Buy the DVD, www.donetheimpossible.com" is constantly seen on lower right; end credits do say licence is Creative Commons ; movie starts with preview of what the buyable DVD contains. www.legaltorrents.com www.legaltorrents.com/abou...

Don't know if this has been posted: www.donetheimpossible.com/index.php "Done the Impossible" The story of the rise and fall and rebirth of the cult TV show "Firefly," as told from the perspective of the fans who helped save it. The creators of FireflyMovie.com (a.k.a. SerenityMo...

I cant believe that Lord Foul translates into french as 'Rogue'... Consulted the translation again... "Foul" has been rightly translated as "Turpide"; I've seen "Turpide le Rogue". The "Rogue" part is probably a reference that he's a rogue Lord. Well, that's ...

French, Italian re-editions/re-translations... who's next?

Let me guess, the word "Curse" will also be in the title of the third book. How about... The Cursed Fortress ? (reference to Foul's Creche?) In the french titles, the words I re-translated as "curse" are from the same root, even though they differ in form. I translated "Mau...

Update: I've seen today a brand new french edition of the Chronicles. At first I thought it was just the old translation with a new jacket... But upon browsing, and reading the back cover, I saw it was an entirely new translation (copyright 2006!). The back cover squarely states it is "an unabr...

Hmmm... Another point of view here:

Will wait for Mr Hayes' himself to comment.
I'm sure that being part of that show he did expect one of these days some stuff being thrown at that "religion".

hm'kay?

The theme from Cinema Paradiso (Morricone).
The theme (and variations on it) of Sophie's Choice (Hamlisch).

Both always move me, for different reasons of course.

Babylon 5 indeed completed -- or filled in, depending on your view about the fifth season -- its five year plan.

Then there's Crusade... hmm, m'not missin' it.

There was a time when I mourned the cancellation of "Hello Larry"...
I was so in love with Kim Richards

Yes, very sad.

I guess Cail meant G'Kar was the soul of B5. Very true.
I was so glad of that mean-turned-kind role (GKar was behind Kosh attempted assassination!), for AK so often played villains.

RIP Andreas.
Good luck beyond the rim...

ya, gotta love him?

SRD himself stated: For my part, I have no difficulty at all seeing Sauron as "an expression of Frodo"--or, if you prefer, as an expression of the idealized weltanschauung embodied by the Hobbits, and by Frodo as the most idealized Hobbit. Frodo~Sauron~LF Brrrr... i tried comedy through r...
