John Vornholt posted the message on CompuServe about a three weeks ago or
so, if I remember correctly. I was quite disappointed in this, since I thought
that the third novel was going to be out in July.

Oh, dear...this really makes me sad. :) Zelazny was one of my favourite
writers, and to hear of his death has made this day somewhat bleaker. My
condolences to Roger Zelazny's family on their loss. May Zelazny's spirit walk

I have the tape. Good music too! I heard he's done another one. The
jacket doesn't contain any info on where you can get it or other's but
I'm sure I remember seeing the tape advertised either in Starlog or the
Star Trek Fan Club mags. They also had the soundtrack to the movies and
some of the episodes for TNG. I currently just have "Encounter at
Farpoint" and "The Best of Both Worlds" soundtracks on tape and an
excellent CD called STAR TREK: The Astral Symphony.

According to TV Guide, some changes are in order for DS9 this fall.
Some tidbits from Trek honcho Rick Berman.
The new season will launch with a two-hour premiere, where a new cast
member will be introduced. Berman couldn't reveal any details about
him/her/it but he could "tell you that there will be a slight alteration
in the premise of the show that I think is going to be terrific."
When asked if he could just give a hint, he said, "Ok. How can I put
this in a way that will let me sleep tonight? The delicate treaty that
has existed between the Federation and the Klingon Empire... is about to
unravel. And that's just for starters."
Hmmmm, sounds interesting.

This one was just too humorous to pass up.
******************************************
Gee Let's Get Out of Character
Just wanted to complain, in a huge way!
I would like to begin by saying that Kallas started out, in episodes
prior to Finale, as the most kick ass villian bar-none. He would toy with
Duncan and all around him in a very intelligent way. He would have killed
Dawson just for fun, killed Amanda and still used her for bait and much more.
Instead the writers decided that it was CHEEZ-TIME give some canned villian
sayings, and give him flashes of incredible stupidity.
Next, three words: Amanda's Boob Job. She leaves for a while and
come back looking like she had to buy some new bras and such. (Not really a
complaint, just a comment.)
Methos: not much to say here except for a guy that has lived thousands
of years he can do some rather doofy things. The doofy things that Methos
does could be excused if he were Richie.
That watcher, I can't remember his name starts with a V?, you know who,
the black guy who decked Dawson. What a moron. He is driving toward Kallas
and shooting at him, knowing that he is an immortal. He finally gets Kallas
on the ground, DROPS HIS GUN, gets out of the car, looks at Kallas laying on
the ground and thinks "I need something sharp" and IGNORES THE SWORD next to
Kallas. Duh there is an ax behind me I will go get it! His stupidity has
already killed him nuffsaid.
Well here is another goodun': Let's see, if I were part of a secret
society like the Watchers and created a database, I think I might just
require a PASSWORD. And don't tell me they would not know how! That
database was more than just a few linked tables, it looked pretty good.
And don't say access, you still would need more than just a do it yourself
book and a clue.

There was indeed talk of having Darren McGavin come on, *in character*,
and meet Mulder. However, apparently they're having problems with names,
etc. Somebody owns the copyright on Carl Kolchak and unless they can deal
with that person or group, they can't use him on X-Files.
************************************************************
Anybody out there hear anything about this? Is this rumor for real?
If so, I think the idea is too cool for school, myself. I've always been
a Kolchak fan...

Subj : Kilmer as Batman

Warner Brothers has already announced that both Val Kilmer and Chris
O'Donnell have signed to make further Batman films after this one. Nicole
Kiddman has also stated that she would welcome the opportunity to do another
one.
The only problem I can see is a villain shortage. Right quick they
are going to run out of "recognizable" villains for Batman to fight. All the
villains who became "name recognizable" by way of the 60's TV show (the
Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman) have been done (and most have been killed
off in the movies). So, that leaves the other names in the Rogues Gallery,
the ones that Batman fans like myself have no problems recognizing, but
that non-comic-readers who like the Batman films don't know from Adam.
Still, I have some ideas. I've long since retired the original wish
list I posted oh so many years ago, but Dustin Hoffman as The Mad Hatter,
Helena Bonham Carter as Poison Ivy, Alan Rickman as Maxie Zeus, Wesley Snipes
as the Black Spider, Lance Henrikson as Ra's Al Ghul, Michael Biehn as
Deadshot, and Patrick Stewart as Mister Zero would all do as villains.
Also, I think John Goodman would do well as The Ventriloquist.

I may, or may not, discuss spoiler material in this review. As I
have only thought about things to talk about and not actually written the
thing out, I can't tell yet. If you haven't seen it, and don't want to take
the chance, now is the time to move on to the next message.
Everybody else, the elevator is going down.
Well, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this movie is
Good Stuff. I'm still a fan of the original (less so the second), but this
is the film the first one should have been. More action, less moping. Now,
I know a lot of you are going to say things like "that wasn't moping, that
was character development". Bull. That was moping. I'm a writer; I know
what character development smells like, and that just wasn't it, back in
the first film.
Not that they do too much character development in the third film...
But still, it felt good. Finally we see a Batman who is Billy-Badass on
the hand-to-hand arena, just like he is supposed to be. This Batman uses
his head for more than a target, too. Not that Burton's Batman was written
as an idiot, but we get to *see* him using his noodle in this one.
So, action... great. Character usage... great... except for Dick
Grayson/Robin. Granted, he only comes in half-way through the film, and
isn't the star of the show anyway, but geez, guys. He pops in and out like
a piece of bread in a toaster oven. Either decide to use him or *don't*.
