I have a card signed by MM but I had to pay for it. It was one of four Lexx items I bought in one of auctions…. Actually, you can’t really distinguish it as his name…it looks like a bunch of curley q’s running together…..I also have a Luvliner script signed by Paul, Jeff and Lex…. but the script did’nt actually match the episode that was finally made. I guess they make changes as they go along…
hey nb, howyadoin? blackie brought me back a presigned postcard left by mm for the uncon; when i looked at it i thought it said “to drdel…scribble scribble kai”…it was only when she referred to it in hali that i realized it must say michael mcmanus, and that that was his handwriting (maybe his mom wanted him to be a doctor?

regarding scripts not matching shows; i guess i thought that was solely due to editing, but when we watched them shoot scenes, they all improvised from take to take (well, mm, brian and louis del grande)…they never said the same line twice unless they were really tired and fed up…so it was neat seeing how they finetuned the lines up to the final take…mm particularly was having fun with his ‘i have killed speech’; from take to take he would elaborate and carry on until he had everyone and the kitchen sink thrown into that speech; that was a lot of fun and very illuminating for a newbie to theatre/film making [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
