I got called for Jury duty tomorrow, but when I called in this evening as directed I have been put on standby and told to do what I normally do and then call in between 10:30 and 11:30. But they also said I could be on stand by for a week!!

I really wanted to go and say that I hate everyone and that I don't believe in the death penalty. (Florida has it) but now I will never know what it was like. I was looking forward to living on $15.00 a days and holding a person's fate in my hands.

Harris' blue eye shadow is ever so much more visible in the made-for HBO taping of his stage version of CAMELOT, but I'll admit I haven't watched CAMELOT in some time.

I certainly do agree with DR RLP that ALfred Newman's work is simply sterling for the movie and justifiably won an Oscar. If ONLY they had had wonderful singers to do that music justice.

I really liked the interviews with Mr. Pogue. I recommend anyone who wants to write or is a writer to listen to it

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.

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.)

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.

I am not planning to purchase THE TEN COMMANDMENTS again no matter what extra stuff they put on it. The last DVD transfer looked just fine to me and it was anamorphic.

Michael · « **Reply #130 on:** March 08, 2004, 08:53:48 PM »

I just heard from a reliable source that One Million Years BC is missing 10 minutes from the DVD release!!!!

bk · « **Reply #131 on:** March 08, 2004, 08:57:09 PM »

The Ten Commandments uses the exact same transfer as the old DVD. No difference at all.

Matt H. · « **Reply #132 on:** March 08, 2004, 08:58:20 PM »

The 10 missing minutes are what was included in the European release. What Fox has released is the original US cut.

When they did the laserdisc, they put the 10 minutes back in, but obviously have left it out on this DVD release.

WELCOME TO THE CLOUDS, FS POGUE. NO REWRITES HERE!

Yes, congratulations! And I'm the baby God no more.

Thanks , Mr. Shayne for the kind words. Actually the interview was done not in 1991, but 2001.

bk · « **Reply #136 on:** March 08, 2004, 09:20:37 PM »

What's ten years between friends. Hey, Pogue, should I run your HHW interview over at The DVD Place? That might be fun, since the DVD came out this week.

I just got back from Costco. When I was there I saw and picked up Futurama Volume 3! I didn't know it had been released yet! I was so happy until I started looking at the packaging. The plastic shrink-wrap was torn in a couple places, but still sealed. I looked around for another copy but couldn't find any. Did I get the last one and they're all sold out? I couldn't even find the place where they should have been. Anyway, I went to the check-out counter and when they swiped it through, the register displayed that it couldn't be sold! "WHAT?" thought I! I have it here in my hand. The official "release date" is not until tomorrow! Tuesday. I had to say goodbye to my very own copy of volume 3 of Futurama. I was sad

...but happy that tomorrow I will be able to get a very nice copy with no ripped plastic.

Has anyone noticed the dolly shot in the first scene between Arthur and Guinevere when the camera evidently backs over a cord or something--it jerks quite noticeably and rights itself. I couldn't believe they didn't retake that moment.

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.

Now you're just being mean.

Back from THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS. A wonderful mixture of emotion and intellect. Smart, libidinous people (most of them over 50) talking about actual ideas and having feelings at the same time. What a novel concept! I'd see it again tomorrow.

Hello, fellow dear readers:
I don't know that I have a particular favorite fantasy story. I remember I loved reading Wizard of Oz when I was a kid. And I love Peter Pan the musical.
