But they let you type "highschool" as one word? :) (Sorry, I seem to be wearing my Amy Nitpicker Hat (tm) today. ;)) Actually, with everybody using computers and proportional spacing these days, the old "two spaces after a sentence" rule is rapidly being replaced by one space as the standard...

My comments had nothing to do with line breaks after paragraphs and everything to do with CH's consistent failure to but a space after punctuation marks like periods and commas. I believe even the English have figured out the advantages of leaving spaces between sentences and clauses set off by...

Did you mean C.S. Forester's Hornblower series of sea adventures set during the Napoleonic wars, or is there another that I'm not aware of? :) Regards, Joe

Harlan, obviously. ;) Just don't tell him I said so. :D Regards, Joe

7 books about blue jeans? Damn! :) You say this like it's a bad thing. Is this another porn reference? Regards, Joe

Re: Actual B5:TLT News No, from the fans. But apparently your "laugh" response still fits. Regards, Joe

Thanks. I notice that nothing new has posted to the newsgroup since about 10 this morning, at least according to my Google Groups interface. That does seem odd for the first workday back from the holidays. I guess we're having another one of those problems that Cheryl says never happen. :)...

Jerry Pournelle's Co-Dominium novels were a fun future history overtaken by events. His starting concept in the late 70s was a future where the Soviet Union remained a going concern (as who could imagine otherwise at the time) and all-out nuclear war would be avoided, not by the collapse of the...

I know; I have it on DVD. :) It is precisely the fact that it is fiction twice removed that makes me think the actual story would make for an interesting and original film now, and why I didn't mention the Kipling picture in my own post. Regards, Joe

By itself the word "adapation" could mean either. You can have a TV series based on material from a book or a play (or a movie) just as you can have a movie adapted from that same (including movies adapted from TV shows.) Think The Odd Couple, M*A*S*H, practically everything that ever aired on...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News I think "B5 Personnel" is a good place for a World War Z discussion, so I've copied your message to make it the first post in a separate thread over there, and will copy one or two other messages from here to get the ball rolling. ("JMS scripting Zombie movie?") That...

Thanks for providing the link. For what it's worth, here's the message I sent to the Academy:

I'm pretty sure this is one of the statements that JMS admitted was an exception to his "don't lie to the fans" rule. He said that in rare instances he'd get a direct question that he couldn't easily duck (no pun intended) but that would give away a plot point if answered directly, so he'd lie...

Another one I think I came across on BookTV. It is on my list. You'd think something like that would make a terrific subject for a major Hollywood film, instead of the next lousy sequel or bad big screen version of a mediocre TV series, or yet another hideous remake of a film that was either...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News What she said. :) Joe

No, because - as you youself point out - the Minbari have believed they have been "losing" souls for between 2,000 and 1,000 years, and their "greater" souls in more recent times. Discovering Minbair souls in Humans doesn't challenge their beliefs, it solves the mystery of where all those souls...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Somehow I don't think the marketing guys at Warner Home Video see their mission as bringing more fans into the SF community. :) Nor do I see how a mere ad for an SF show you've never heard or only vaguely heard of is supposed to entice you into a) checking it out and...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News JMS has said that the $44 million figure mentioned in the WB press release represented last year's sales, not cumulative sales since the initial release. Apart from the oft-quoted half million dollars in gross sales (a figure that is already a couple of years old) I'm...
