BK, I think I finished off last night's message board with a long rant about my woes on DRAGONHEART (not nearly long enough...I kept a journal during the filming that is nearly 400,000 words long. Someday maybe it will see the light of day. Certainly a useful document of how a writer is treated and all the more strange since it was a writer of a much-lauded script.)
Pogue: I reprinted your post here, didn't you see it? It's post number two, which occurs after post number one, or before post number three, however you look at it.

Movies:
The only one that comes to my mind is Like Water for Chocolate. -And the book is wonderful too.
I’d like to add “The Secret Garden” to my list of fantasy favorites, unfortunately my only exposure to same was the Broadway show.
My favorite fantasy book is "The Joy of Gay Sex".

I think I've had these executives.
The body was strictly Franco Nero's...including the camera-rape shot during the opening of "C'est Moi"!
And I found the singing voice of Mr. Merlino only mediocre. I guess no one could compare to the hypermasculine sound that Robert Goulet projected when he did Lancelot.
Mediocre?
Yes, Goulet has/had a hypermasculine sound...but...blech! I'd rather Lancelot be a lot more passionate than was in Goulet's vocal range. He always sounds "in love with his own voice" to me.

You were never a teenager.True.
...Der Brucer (who has ordered a copy of “Leaving Home” direct from the publisher so SWW can be the first kid on the block to own one)Don't be so sure, considering the population of our block, and of Rehoboth Beach in general. ;D
All I can say is, lucky lovely wife Julianne.
Soon I will be supping at Chan Dara. Can anyone suggest Atikins or South Beach friendly thai food? I know I can have the chicken on skewers appetizer with the peanut sauce, but what else Thai doesn't have rice or noodles?
I like all the cod pieces tooo! :o
Where do they sell used camels?
CAMELOT!
What interviews with Mr. Pogue?
We ended up going to Louise's, so I had their yummilicious chicken caesar salad, and I ate the damned croutons, so there. Can one of you dear readers e-mail me or PM me the address of that place where you search to see if you're owed money? My cousin wants to see if he's owed money.

For those who didn't read last night's final post or for those who did and might have their appetites whetted, below is an address for an internet site, Hour25online, where I talk for about two hours on my entire career and, in depth on Dragonheart, detailing the pig story. Should the link not work, just go to Hour25online and it the previous interviews link and look up April 18 and April 30, 2001 which are the dates for my two-part interview. I think the Dragonheart stuff is in the second half.

DR RLP wrote: "Since we do have Mr. Nero's filmed Lancelot, the notion that the singing voice that perfectly matches his speaking voice is nothing more than "mediocre" strikes me as being harsh."
I'd hardly call it harsh. My honest opinion is actually what it was. I think his (Merlino's) singing is as pedestrian as can be, and combined with Miss Redgrave's ill-equipped-to-handle-the-songs vocals, CAMELOT was a tremendous disappointment for me.
