I have been told that we need to just QUIT whining about stuff like this. There is a very simple reason that this happens, that happens and the rules of logic and physics are so often suspended.
[size=18]IT IS IN THE SCRIPT! [/size]
I also have some questions about that. At first I thought it was that they were embarassed by Lexx. Not impossible, since other sections of Salter Street were also. But then I saw some of the stuff they were working on or promoting, so I knew that wasn’t it.
Why no new Lexx? Perhaps they simply lack that good ol’ American determination to wring every buck they can out of their property? Perhaps they don’t think it would fly with out the supreme bean PD?
hummm, but where are you interested in sharing, dollar wise? At one of the host hotels? At one of the official overflows? or at any?
Your post refrences both arriving Fri and Sat. ;D I am assuming the Fri was a late night typo yes?
Ekkk! Saturday? Oh my. ;D it will might well be crowded that day. If you come by the fan table, I will lend you my cart and a magizine to read while you wait. Makes it pretty painless. Or as painless as it can be. 🙂
Where were you thinking of staying? Rooming with someone one site? Off site? How long will you be there? It is these little details that people need to know. 😛
Cruella DeVill – She is evil, fashionable and she like to wear puppies. What is not to love about this villain?
Ursula the Sea Witch – She sings, she mocks, she makes grand dramatic gestures and is so close in every way to theMother that she freaked theGirlFreind out when we saw the movie for the first time. “Michealle….. why is your Mom up on the screen??!?”
Are we noticing a Disney trend here? I would say it was from exposure in my formative years, but I was in my thirties I think when the Little Mermaid first came out.
Prince – come on ya gotta love him. Sinister, snappy dresser, barbed comments that flick out to cut and then he continues on with his urbane manners and silky voice.
Drakken – Smart and resourceful with good taste in henchmen errr.. henchwoman. He and Shego make a great pair. And hey, who can resist a guy with blue skin and a great pony tail.
Dr. Evil – What can I say, he makes me laugh. Especially when he and his son Scott start in on each other.
theBrother agrees with you. He stopped watching when Eva left. 😀 He thought she looked more real and less school-boy-fantasy-ish. IHHO 🙂
Thanks Pet. I forwarded this to theSpouse. Not too amazingly he is interested. 😀
He longs to live somewhere totaly effort free on his part. Ask Fx, she will back me up on this. 😀
If you have something weird, that may not be arround forever …. yes. Face it, some of the more obsure DVD’s are only going to be available once. And even the cult stuff that sells well may have times when it is out of rotation in the manufacturers catalog.
10) Talking about the “Olsen Twins”
[b]Hey watched a special on then on E the other night. Ummm, for the record they now prefer to be called Mary Kate and Ashley. 😛 (When one is doing mind numbing data entry, listening to mind numbing TV works real well. 🙄 )[/b]
9) Arguing that Macross was the greatest series ever, and everything else is just a ripoff
[b]Who? What? [/b]
8.) Asking why Kevin Sorbo doesn’t do a Hercules/Andromeda croxxover.
[b]Because the Gods are gifting me with his absence. [/b]
7) “The Sci-Fi channel does their very best”
[b]Really? On what planet does this occur? 😀 [/b]
6) Getting political in whimsical Sci-Fi threads
[b]Aggghhh!!! [/b]
5) “Xev is ugly”
[b]??? Compared to Zev perhaps. 😉 [/b]
4) “Kai is ugly”
[b]Blashphemer! Shall I sic the Droolers upon thee? [/b]
3) “I personally believe the Enterprise could whoop a Vorlon star killer, because…..”
[b]It’s in the script? [/b]
2) “Did anyone watch Tremors last night???”
[b]Sadly yes…. theSpouse. Or at least 5 minutes of it here and there. He has the attention span of a gnat. [/b]
1) “I sure wish they’d make some new Star Trek movies with the original cast.”
[b]Ummm, some are Dead Jim. [/b]

Try that URL. It is now a regular bbs Tony. And a sign I find most encouraging is that they have a vacant moderator spot listed. Hopefully that means they will either be assigning one of their employees or perhaps one of their more responsible posters to that position…. (and no, oh snide one…. this is not something that anyone I know is angling for. 😛 😀 )
One other nice thing is they have a ‘report this post to the moderator’ button on all the posts. Hopefully this shoots a copy of the offending post to a moderator so they will a) be alerted to the problem and b) get the entire post rather than logging on to find a hastily altered post that had been revised after everyone had been offended.
This could mean that Sci-fi might actually no longer be a haven for trolls. 😀 Good yes? 😀
Congratulations to our own Aleck for being asked to be on a second channel in the Sci-fi TV track.
Friday
2:30 P.M. Dead but DVD’d
With DVD technology allowing the storage of several episodes on a single disc, many genre shows that had only a brief existence on air are enjoying a new life. What shows are next to be resurrected?
Panelists: Aleck Bennett (from Acorn Media), Jeniffer Coats, Kelley Harkins, Marcia PattersonSince I know we all want to support Aleck, this will be a good opportunity for Lexxians to meet. 😀
Yes, but on the plus side, Claudia got toasted so, it’s all good. 😉
She did get annoying didn’t she. But…. so did Lestat. 🙂
[quote=”TranceGemini613″]. Thank you and hate the French.^^[/quote]
No, no, no…. it is Hate Barbra Bush. Yes I know that she is not herself evil…. but she bedded, bred and mothered evil. 8)
But, yes everyone should post more. I myself feels some what slug-like and really should take the pledge to do at least two posts a day. 😀

[/quote]The Warrior’s Apprentice by Lois McMasters Bujold
Young Miles Vorkosigan (Elijah Wood of LOTR) [url]http://sararinoa.altervista.org/Elijah%20Wood!.jpg[/url] fails to pass a physical test to get into the Service Academy. On a trip, necessities force him to improvise the Free Dendarii Mercenaries into existence, he has unintended but unavoidable adventures for four months. Leaves the Dendarii in Ky Tung’s competent hands and takes Elli Quinn (Julia Roberts) to Beta for rebuilding of her damaged face; returns to Barrayar to thwart plot against his father. Emperor pulls strings to get Miles into the Academy. I think that ( Ioan Gruffudd King Arthur, Hornblower) [url]http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0211181/11?path=pgallery&path_key=Gruffudd,%20Ioan[/url] would be perfect as his cousin Ivan
But I can’t think who would play his father, he was be commanding kinda military looking, a bit stocky and not reall tall. Think a thinner version of Brian Dennehy from Cocoon. Who would match that these days?
The plot thickens….
Now they are saying that Shyamalan was in on the entire production, which was cooked up to generate publicity for his upcoming film. So the documentry was fiction/fact, the fight was fiction, the promotion was a lie….
*Cue fruity Music*
Tune in tomorrow for the next addition of Bonnie Hammer’s “As the Network Executives Turn.”
Sunday – 10:00 P.M. Lexx: A Retrospective
Or how does a show about a dirty old man lusting after some babe who could care less, who lusts after a dead guy who could care less, inspire such devotion?
Panelists: Kelly Harkins, Patrick Cranford, Michealle Frey, Aleck Bennett of Acorn Media.
Please note the date changed to Sunday! Which is annoying in a way, but totally works in another…. Party in the downstairs bar of the Hyatt becomes a bit easier without having to leave and go to a panel. And Saturday is prime costume night there!
Ah, well I can wait.
I read that Will Smith had no idea what the bike was going to look like, He only gave them a general feel for the movies and then they watched a few trailers.
Apparently when they were on Letterman last year, they were described as a family that builds bikes and likes to argue a lot. So Paul said, “Oh, they’re like the Osbournes.”
Owwww oww ow. The mental image of Ozzie and Paul Sr in the same room, While Paulie and Sharon go at it tooth and nail.
I can’t even imagine how the Oz Kids and Mikey would interact.
But…. I found this great OCC Game! What do ya think?

[quote]Xev: Stanley, are you really buying this “the dead do not walk on the grass” bit? – Sassy Assassin
[/quote]No joy on getting an extra panel. But there will also be a panel called Dead but DVD’d for shows that are no more but have been released on DVD. Perhaps we will find the answers to some of those nagging questions of why this one, why not that one.
I’m warning you Stan, next time you tell the bag boy we don’t need help getting out to car, then you can push him yourself.
no? But it can be so lucrative. ;D
I missed this ep! Rats. Did you see it? What did the bike look like?
Helllllllloooooooooooooooo Tony. It has been a long time. The Bad Carrot is gone the way of all carrots on the compost heap of evil vegtables…. perhaps it is time to pick up the pen again and finish the reviews.
I know, you could schedule a viewing, we could all watch the same day and then inspire you to finish one episode at a time. Yes, just take small baby steps, but eventually the journey would be complete.
Besides, we have some episodes that it would be fun to re-trash in the ones remaining. 😀
Whatya say?!!?
Hey MicroM! Did you see this?
“The Boy From Oz,” which closes Sept. 12, has been doing strong business (on Broadway) since the June 6 Tony Awards, which featured its star, Hugh Jackman, as host.
Well there is a chance they might get picked up in the fall on a network. So be patient. 🙂
You might also want to check out the PAX NETWORK (in the US)
the movie of the week WILDFIRE 7/The Inferno Saturday, July 17th 9/8pm with Ellen as a Brooklyn firefighter. I did some vidcaps of it http://www.thefrey.com/DubinWildfire7.htmShe will also be in the movie TUNNEL with Daniel Baldwin and directed on Monday July 12th at 12 pm on the FX CHANNEL. She plays a lawyer.
Interesting flowers Jhevz, a bit of a different take on the costumes, yes? Looks like you have the crafting bug! 😀 Keep at it, I am sure it will look just as you envisioned when you are finished.
😀
Will Smith is designing the iRobot bike? Hummm, I didn’t know that, I must have seen a more chopped (snicker) down version of the promo.
But now, if he is designing it, the same way that the Pauls normally give directions to JB to paint, then it will be all right. ;D I love the…. just give me something christmasy….. or we want it to look like this poster a bit….. 🙂 Perhaps, he will just say, like that with this, this and this on it. 🙂
Possibly, but he becomes a bit scatterbrained when he dons his outfits…. (perhaps the tight braids and beads affect his thinking?)
Anyhoooo I should have your book in a day or so, but instead of sending me a check, just go pick up two 2″x2″x8′ poles and a piece of 3/4″ thinwall electrical conduit 8′ long for me. They are relatively inexpensive and you should even have change to keep for your trouble. ;D Pleaseeeeeeee. I don’t want to wait until the last minute, and I know YOU will take care of it on time. 😀
Then we can put the nag on your wonderful one to make sure the hardware brackets, clamps and banners from last year are assembled and readily available. 🙂 Tell him I will bring him shiny trinkets and trade goods if he gets the stuff ready now. ;D
I think sometimes it also depends on the creative people in the group pushing for a release. Is there a fan base? Are you willing to let it go without trying to milk every dime out of it? Did someone go out of their way to make the contacts necessary to get a distributor interested in it?
What is stranger is when a show with more than enough episodes and a decent fan base doesn’t get released. Why? Does the studio/owner think that there might be more money to be made by holding it? Does one of the creators control it and are now embarrassed by it? Or do the people with the control of the show, just not have the drive or interest in marketing it further?
I understand Gela, XS4Xevr and iStan have portions of the chat , which will be posted soon. NO ONE apparently got all of the chat.
They really needed to have this on mirc server. 😛
54 Days until Dragon Con.
Sarahent please get with me about the banner holders.
The Electric has been requested for the table. I will pick up the tab on it .
Saddy’s display trinkets have arrived….. in a box that looks like a truck ran over it…. thank god nothing in it was breakable.
Aleck STILL needs to whip on his trade show people for a few Acorn Posters and Flyers…..
Does any one know of a free player that will load and loop several .avi files? If it has a skin on it that can be changed to something Lexxish, that would be a plus.
Do we want to have name tags so we can tell who our Fellow Lexxians are in the crowd?
S1 Eating Pattern – Just plain sucked.
S2 White Trash, god was that thing a mess.
S3 Girl Town, not even the divine Ms. Dubin could save it.
S4 So many to choose from…. hummm, for shear gross out factor I would have to say Mort. For the power to stop Sadgeezer episode reviews in their tracks it would have to be Bad Carrot. For what the freak were they thinking…. I would have to go with my over all choice – Prime Ridge.
Van Helsing’s excellent adventure?? 😀 They could head that way. 😀
So, the long hair was reason number 11? 🙂 Yes, but does he use l’Oreal and is he worth it? 😉
Well peeps I was going to try to log it or copy it, but the java chat portal was about as stable as a three store house with a lemon Meringue foundation. I was dropped repeatedly.
Of course the distraction of theSpouse Driving his truck into a bar ditch did not help. The truck was rescued…. yeah Auto Club! But the cat was just too aggervating to stick with.
Apparently MMM Twack and Brian did not show. MMM Twack is reportedly living in Germany and Perhaps Brian overselpt. 😛
If you are having trouble registering, don’t forget to check the little box at the bottom that has AGB in the sentence.
Welcome back. Nothing much going on, but I predict that an out break of nagging may soon ensue from a very familar yet recently missing poster. 😉
Congrats on the improved bandwidth speed. Enjoy.
Nope, none of them. The first one asks me for a user name and password. The rest just don’t come up. 🙁 bummer
[quote=”nursewhen”]Yikes!
I only entered the contest for fun!As I’m not a collector of memorabilia, I’d like to bow out if I may, but I’m glad you enjoyed the limerick. :D[/quote]
So? If you win give it to the person who begs the best, or has the most pitiful story, or is the first to email you saying “Me me me!” 😀
Well Sr is the owner and boss and if he wants to sit and do paper work (or drink coffee) that is his privilege…. But… I did think it was pretty shirtty of his to say that when he tells jr or Mikey nothing gets done so he leans on Vinnie.
Helllooooooo, they are not only your freaking kids, they are also your employees. If you did your job right, they WOULD listen to you. Unless Vinnie is the shop supervisor and getting paid to take this crap, Sr should be yelling at everyone and not just Vinnie.
Of course the thing got instantly cleaned because Jr and Mikey felt bad about getting Vinnie in trouble. It would be nice to think that this was an act that Vinnie and Sr have agreed to in order to keep peace in the family…. but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Kim Possible, Sigh… the reason you may not have seen it, is they keep moving it later and later. If they don’t come out with the DVD’s soon, I swear I am going to start looking for .avi files of the early episodes.
I just heard on the radio this morning that Hugh Jackman is already committed to a sequel for this movie. Anyone know anything about that?
Oh, and he is also committed to an X-men sequel also.
Dear CONnie,
What is the cast of LEXX doing these days and why will they not show up at Lexx DragonCon2003? Does the cast show up at any events if so where??
Will M.
Dear Will,
The Lexx cast are currently without a convention manager. This means that they have no one to front the money for travel, hotels, photos and other expenses involved with going to a convention.
DragonCon is such a draw for both fans and guests that over 95% of their guests do not get any kind financial assistance to attend. Sometimes a studio will pick up the expenses if they are promoting something that the star is in, but normally the guest is on their own, and either they or their convention manager must front the money and hope they make it back through autograph sales.
And, the cast have been to a few conventions lately. Xenia was in Australia a few months ago attending two conventions that had been set up for her by their former manager. And just last weekend, several of the cast appeared at a convention in Toronto.
No. For instance…. Mobil Oil has business interests in India. That their offices in India handle that stuff is fine.
That they also ship my credit info across the world so that lower priced workers can service my US account is not fine. Ask Mobile and they will tell you they are just consolidating their service centers.
So when you say, ah, Question, so you also have a gas credit business in India also… their answer is ‘NO.’ Question, then what exactly do you do in India that ties into credit card servicing…. their answer is ‘nothing really.’ Question, so exactly what else do these call centers service besides the US market… their answer umm, ‘none I guess.’ <<—- actual conversation with a Mobil escalation supervisor who IS in the US.
