g*****dammit, don’t make me stop this car! all of you break it up and back into your corners for a time out!i have been on this board a very long time so my perspective is a smidge different than yours, and right now i am seeing squish acting totally out of character, aleck being snappish, and bonnee, as usual, jumping in to throw gasoline on the fire…bonnee you promised us a while ago to stop coming here, so do it already unless you can stop being a thrombosed hemorrhoid…squish, dt went to college, and like most college kids, has made new friends and is moving on; it doesn’t have anything to do with you or aleck or the board…god bless him, i hope and believe he has discovered girls [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img](and i know you remember all the arguments about whether sex drives were natural [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img])…aleck, you’ve never been one to back down from a fight, and while you may not start them you certainly will finish them, but let this one drop…you and squish have been great inspirations for thought and entertaining so kindly kiss and make up…love, fx
awesome saddy! i see that good sense prevailed and you kept the fireplace [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…i am putting one in this winter…or at least what passes for winter in florida [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] …just redid the ceilings and the airconditioning ducts and the garage door opener (so cool- i have a keypad to open the garage door…my friends say i need to get out more!)…more painting and new sofas next…

squishy, long time no see (due to my absence more than yours-i thought about looking you up while in england visiting mr and mrs sadgeezer, but all the clusterlizards had unlisted numbers! )…all seriousness aside, i guess i am one of the people lexxlurker was referring to; friday nights in the u.s. for me was [b]farscape[/b] while waiting for [b]lexx[/b]…and in the beginning, i liked farscape, for different reasons…but when the lexx hiatuses were on, i would lose track of farscape, and later found that the plot had gotten a bit too harlequin novel in space for me…ah well, for nostalgia’s sake at any rate, i miss the old [b]farscape[/b] as well, particularly zhaan, and the idea of parallel development of a plant based sentient life form…whatever, saddy and newkate introduced me to [b] red dwarf [/b]while i was in england, and i have to say i really liked it, and saw a lot of the [b]lexx[/b] sensibilities in it; a bunch of losers mucking about totally out of their depth in space [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I recently heard this type of sleep interruption is a symptom of depression. I sure hope not, cause i don’t think i can afford the medication right now.
sleep disturbances can be a sign of depression, but there’s a lot of other reasons too…you mentioned it happened around graduation, ie stressful period…with me it happens when things are bad financially…i’ll be worrying about a big expense, or big disruption/disaster at work, and bingo, i am waking up at 315am every night for weeks until the problem is solved…and yes for me it is always exactly 315 am [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Good to see you back in the swing of things, FX…you owe me some vacation stories. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

well now that you explained the decrease in g and s viewing, i see what you mean [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
i myself have more frequently been in flamegrape’s position; supporting multiple layers of management type parasitesregards vacation stories, you’re right, i think i will start with the burlesque club saddie took me to in blackpool; all the waitresses [b]and[/b] the emcee had better hair and makeup than i did, and i felt quite inadequate, given that they were all men…and then saddie and newkate wouldn’t get on the roller coaster with me, and they kept trying to make me eat french fry sandwiches, claimed that it was an old english tradition [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img] (fx wishes she hadn’t drunk so much with mr and mrs sadgeezer; it’s going to be hard composing a coherent letter about what all transpired)

welcome all new peeps! sorry for the belated acknowledgment, but as one of the older/moldier denizens of this gutter, i just don’t move as quickly as i used to [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]
i think halifax deserves to have something that is associated solely with it; they should get some recognition for being the birthplace/womb/whatever of lexx [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
how about a politically incorrect checker? sorry about prolonged absence; the board went down right before i set off to be tortured in texas but i am ready for active duty now! [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] can’t wait to see the new board set up

When the film became a success, and he became able to make sequels to the first film, he decided to make it into a 9-picture series — and on the re-release of [i]SW[/i] right before the initial release of [i]Empire[/i], he added the episode IV reference.
–Aleck
okay, so he began retrofitting 25 years ago, when [b]star wars[/b] was released and did well, as opposed to recently? details, details [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] (fx blows very moist raspberries at aleck)
i remember a couple of guys in the effects department in halifax asking us about the rating system…as in ‘i’ve been to sadgeezer.com, wassup with the ratings?!’…i just laughed and tried to look inscrutable…. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

erm, most respectfully beg to differ sweetie…way back when the [b]star wars[/b] hoopla was fresh, lucas explained that the idea was meant to be the middle portion of three separate trilogies…in other words, he started telling the story in the middle, and eventually would go back and tell the first part of the story in three films, then the last part in three films… [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] by the time [b]return of the jedi[/b] was released, however, he was tired and burned out and no longer wanted to pursue the rest…and don’t i wish i had copies of the original posters for the third film as [b]revenge of the jedi[/b]; those would be nice little pieces of history now…on another trivial note (and no, i am not enough of a [b]star wars[/b] fan to wage trivia wars with you guys, i just happen to have been fairly sentient when the first three were released [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ) , francis ford coppola was so taken with the fanaticism surrounding [b]star wars[/b] that he was urging lucas to set up a church/cult around the whole idea of ‘the force’…coppola is always one to let his enthusiasms get the better of him [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

that would be great squishums [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img], maybe some of the other more artistically inclined of you could mock up your proposed actors for the ‘new Kai’ and send pictures here too? i think it would be a lot of fun to see clint eastwood dressed up in a kai wig [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Just out of curiousity, thefrey, was the fact that you printed your entire message in bold letters some kinda reference to FX’s remark about block letters? (I know that there is a difference, but it’s just semantics anyway.)
actually, it was sort of an inside joke; we were chatting at #sadgeezer, splarka was moderating, and a couple of peeps got tossed after he warned them not to do all caps, bold letters and so forth…many hurt feelings ensued [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
well, the thing that was special about kai was that he was dead, and for an actor, that had to be the most challenging aspect of the character…i think mcmanus took that as far as he could, and kai alive wouldn’t be nearly as interesting for an actor; he’d be just another goodlooking hero…but, it would be fun to have the brunnen g backstory, in which case i would want some quirky unknown for kai…or johnny depp! [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
well, although you have carefully plastered several caveats throughout, the fact that you went to the trouble to post an apology is appreciated [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…fact is, netiquette is an arcane and wondrous thing, and all of us have tripped over points of it [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img] (who knew printing in block letters was such a major offense in some quarters?!)…the thing that makes this whole little show stagger along however is pretty much what makes real life liveable; a willingness to learn and modify one’s behavior to the circumstances…and btw, although saddy does not expressly condone or condemn beatings, except perhaps in the case of pesky ex wives and petty bureaucrats, i think it’s fairly clear that one shouldn’t go out and beat people if one has an inkling that this might not be acceptable behavior [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
just out of curiousity, has anyone here got a funny story about a fauxpas, internet or otherwise that they have committed? i was helping two male friends move into a brownstone in ny a few years ago, when the lady who owned it asked me whose friend i was…she was a sweet old icelandic lady and i thought she was simply curious as to which of the boys had conned me into carrying large boxes up and down three flights of stairs…i said i was friends with both of the boys (we were college buddies) and thought no more of it…later, one of the boys, also icelandic, had a conversation with her, and turned to me smiling…and said ‘she thinks you’re sleeping with both of us’… [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

thank you frey for explaining very clearly what the problem is with what bonnee was doing…obviously, he did not realize that what he was doing was a source of difficulty in any way…it’s a pity however, that as usual he couldn’t just admit his lack of knowledge and apologize for stepping on any toes [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
and on that note, this thread has grown big and so must be closed [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
[ 06-06-2002: Message edited by: FX ]
thank you saddy and newkate; yes in anticipation of the ending of lexx, i became hopelessly addicted to buffy in november…and yes, marybeth, i did notice bonnee’s bull****, and yes he is a consumate schmuck, and i wish he would just go away [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] anyway, off to order season 2 buffy dvds [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
oh, saddy, i think aleck and dt would be good, i wonder how much time dt will have as he appears to be busy with college/not around much anymore?
me three me three!!! except i guess buffy et al doesn’t really fit into the
‘cult science fiction ‘format [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]flamegrape; like elmey said, if you watch univision or the other spanish stations, it’s pretty much nonstop live soccer…also, if you have cable, they usually have at least one station which different countries share time on…so, like in new york, you would have the italians broadcasting at certain times, and the english, and so on…and they always show games, and update you on the world news including soccer…plus, it’s fun to get other countries’ take on the news, much less parochial than here in the states…enjoy! [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] (love from fx who is feverishly hoping ireland doesn’t beat italy again as papafx was unbearable for weeks after that [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] )
oh yeah; the nervous pacing that begins around 9 o’clock on friday night, only to realize that there is no lexx to watch, now what shall i do?…feh, i too have attempted to grow a life and actually go out on friday nights; people keep talking about the finale of ally mcbeal and crap like that….sigh…yeah, we are definitely in the dark zone here [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] i have even started looking forward to farscape episodes
…and as the scorpion and the turtle sank to their death together at the bottom of the river, the turtle said “but why scorpion, why did you sting me after you said you wouldn’t”..and the scorpion replied, “i can’t help it, it’s my nature” [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

on it sweetie: frey already flagged me, as did aleck; your sweet nature is a welcome respite, but most of us are not nearly that forgiving, however we will try not to be absolute animals about it [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] Standards, dammit, we have Standards! enjoy your weekend off
so: to recap, some of you like the latest in the star wars saga and some of you don’t…some of you are able to argue about whether or not you [b]should[/b] or [b]shouldn’t[/b] like it,and still play nicely, and one of you jumps in, as always, to make it a personal fight with aleck…so bonnee, give it a rest will you? and what happened to your ‘threat’ not to post here anymore? [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] sigh, promises…promises…
aleck is better at explaining this than i am…pal and ntsc refer to video formats, and yes you can buy recorders that play both…dvd’s are encoded for regions; region 1 being us and canada (i think [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]), region 2 being europe, and so forth…i have been looking for dvd players for both, but right now what seems to be available are software patches to make the players adaptable to the other regions…these software patches invalidate any warranty you may have on the player though…as far as dvd content; the uncut episodes are the same, it’s the ‘extras’ that are different; interviews, behind the scenes stuff, trivia quizzes, actor bios and so forth…the biggest difference i can tell thus far is that the europeans get their stuff earlier, because america has the whole ‘sell into syndication ‘ thing going, and releasing dvds would kill profits from reruns (theoretically)…aleck, honey, feel free to jump in any time now [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
fx pats frey on her shaking head and nods sympathetically at withdrawal…been there, done that, wish i could have gone to vegas instead… [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
sorry i have been away folks, but my desktop had deteriorated to the point where getting-and staying – online was painful…finally got the new supervaio all hooked up tonight, and what do i see but maya up to her old ****, and you all having to clean up [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] appy polly loggies, but it’s probably just as well i missed the mess, since having banned her already once, i would have been left with the option of flying to dallas and slapping the taste out of her mouth…or maybe i’ll just give her phone number to x, who doesn’t live too far from her either… [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]…okay, i’m better now; maybe we can just figure out a way to keep her banned although she is spreading her poison here again under an unregistered moniker…
erm, important update from lafrey; the coffee shop at the MGM that she wishes to meet at is the one ‘near the foodcourt, back by the pools…if you don’t pass the mcdonald’s, you are at the wrong one! Who knew the mgm had [b]two[/b] coffee shops?!’

hey aleck, long time no see [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…i was a victim of scifi promotion; i kept seeing ads for farscape and lexx so i tuned in for making of lexx, which i only saw part of…the first episode i recall seeing was [b]wake the dead[/b]…i loved it, the ‘deadpan’ guy with freaky hair, the whiny redsuit and the bitchy robot head…i particularly liked the not too bright space ship with the Hal voice…especially when he became a she and asked lexx if she was beautiful… [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] i was hooked thereafter and after much netsearching for more info, came to the sadgeezer site…
well speaking as a guttersnipe,aleck and flamegrape, i am not sure there is any real disagreement between you guys; there were episodes i kind of groaned at in all four seasons, and episodes that blew me away…i think that flame was disgusted by the amount of carping about season 4, but i , for one, really can’t pick a favorite season anymore…right now, reviewing season 2 is just showing me how many things i missed…and i feel that dvds of season 3 and season 4 will hit me the same way…and i am also glad that lexx was never lofty and aspiring to greatness; it’s the raw grubbing around in the muck that drew me to it first place [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] or maybe i am just getting senile and finding more truth and commonality in simpler things these days…whatever, …i am sorry it ended,and the way it ended, but that’s the way i should feel about a show and characters i enjoyed… but i am not sorry that the show didn’t die as slow gibbering and alzheimered death…btw frey, could it be that mm looks natural in a bar with an ashtray because that would appear to be his natural habitat?
