Alternatively, he could play Eomer, who is almost as pig-headed.

Guinness is wrong for Treebeard, but he _could_ play Elrond or Celeborn. I see Bowie as someone like Prince Imrahil, wearing a big swan on his helmet. That weird bloke Stephen Berkoff (last saw him on stage as Herod in Salome) could play Ghan-buri-Ghan, king of the wild men.

Alan Rickman is the only person I can think of who could handle either a Tolkien goodie or a Tolkien baddie. He could certainly play Wormtongue (did you see him as Parson Slope in 'Barchester'?).

I think McKellen got his K all right, but I'm not convinced he is right for Mithrandir. Jacobi could actaully play Frodo - he's too tubby for Gandalf. Ian Holm would also be fine for Frodo, but then Penelope Wilton would want to be in on it as well. Maybe she could be fobbed off with Rosie Cotton in the deleted epilogue... > And man, I don't even *know* who could play the elves! Maybe Tori Amos as > them all? Kate Bush - Wayne Sleep - guitarist Innes Sibun - Bjorn and Agnetha from Abba - the whole of Hansen. And it would be hard to stop Toyah Willcox joining in... Those bird things from 'The Dark Crystal' could play the steeds of the Nazgul. Billy Conolly could do Tom Bombadil. Michael Gambon as Farmer Maggot. Winona Ryder might be able to do Eowyn. And how about Jenny Agutter as Galadriel? You could write in a special scene where she reprises the bit in 'The Railway Children' where she has to take off her red petticoat to save lives...I always thought that bit was artistically necessary. But who would play the most important character, Master Samwise Gamgee? It has to be someone who can do both low comedy and tragedy. I once saw Melvin Hayes as Smike, and he would have done, but he's too old now. I don't think Kevin Bacon has the range for the part. David Jason isn't innocent enough. Michael Palin might just do... And the whole enterprise is doomed to failure unless the casting is absolutely spot on. - - Mike G. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1998 13:54:45 -0600 From: amadain Subject: Re: mainstream voting In no particular order, I chose: >1. Robyn Hitchcock, Element of Light Ok, so I'm playing along with trying to shove him in :). Also "London Calling, "Sound Affects", "Scary Monsters", "English Settlement", "King of America", "Rain Dogs" from their list. "Remain in Light" as a write-in (that -was- 1980, wasn't it? I haven't gone and looked yet) and "Friend or Foe" as a write-in (oh do stop snickering, Eb :)). Looking back at this I see it's only nine, I can't recall the tenth offhand but looking at their list it was probably "This Nation's Saving Grace" or "East Side Story". That would mean I voted for more than one released in 1980, which might be a peeve to some :). But I was trying to some extent also to keep to releases that summed up the decade, for me at least, and so actually more likely to go for something from 1980 than 1989, if that makes sense. What I mean is, I'm not saying any of these albums are better or worse than "Bleach", necessarily, but IMO it spiritually (if not chronologically) belongs in the 90s voting, and "Scary Monsters" is definitely more at home in the 80s voting than the 70s to my mind even if it was released in 1980.

I suspect this is something they learned in "How to squeeze every last dime out of a cult artist 101". They know this won't be a million seller. They know Robyn Hitchcock has a loyal base of fans who will most likely buy both and also perhaps that a lot of Robyn Hitchcock fans are also collecter-types in general and might not be able to resist having a limited edition gatefold vinyl even if they're not especially rabid to have the extra tracks. What I wonder is how well that approach worked with regards to selling the misleadingly titled "Greatest Hits". Seems to me that with a title such as that it would be difficult to sort out who bought it to get those few little extras and who bought just because they wanted to find out more about Robyn Hitchcock for whatever reason. This one will be a more reliable test.

(Damn that pesky Fane!) Well, I assure you I had nothing to do with the collapse of the Gong Fanweb. But I do have some insider's information. . . . Some of you may remember a Surreal Posse post from a few months ago, welcoming Danielle and J Katherine to the List. Well, perhaps it is time to revisit that unfinished business, and relate Chapter Two, Part One, which will no doubt shed some light on a mystery which I will reveal over the next week or so. . . . ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CHAPTER TWO: In which we get a further look at the internal workings of EbCorp, and we discover what happened to Dan-Yell. . . . ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PART I: Another Morning at EbCorp WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE GONG LIST? chuckled Eb menacingly to himself, then frowned as he -- naturally -- failed to menace himself, being the only living creature who actually *did* know the answer. *Damn,* he thought, toggling the key for his secretary. The voice of Bunny Lindhurst burbled cheerfully over the clarkium Holocube; but her image failed to materialize. Another disappointment; most of the menacing effect was really visual, after all. "Yeah, Oh Mighty Eb?" "Ahhh, Bunny my dear! Did you ever wonder WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE. . . um, could you toggle the visuals, please? This is much more effective when I can leer --" "C'mon, boss!? I'm in the middle of polishing my toenails. I got little holographic polish-bots -- I can put teensy weensy Liams all over my toes!" The sound of chewing gum crackled across the holocube, and Eb winced, envisioning Bunny wiggling her Liam-bedecked toes. Damn, that Bunny Lindhurst. If it weren't for those indentations on her head. . . . his eyes lingered guiltily to the bottle of Southern Comfort he kept on his shelf. Her voice continued, over the sound of smecking gum, "Thank God for Gloster GmbH, eh? And it only set me back thirteen happies! Now I can polish and polish and polish and polish --" A sudden, happy squeal interrupted her enthusiastic endorsement. "Look! This Liam just *winked* at me!" "Yeah. Never mind, Bunny." Clicking off the cube, Eb sighed and leaned back into his chair. A strange sense of boredom dogged the corners of his mind; an ennui felt only by Greek Gods, the CEO of Beatrice, and himself. His gaze fell upon the Executive Novelty Gift his manservant Ben gave him last Rufus Day. A row of tiny stainless steel quails suspended from fishing-line, if you pulled one back and let it *snock* into the others, the momentum transferred to the last quail, which whekked into the air and snocked back. . . . and so on . . . and back and forth . . . hypnotically . . . as if the quails were trying to say . . . something . . . Eb abruptly shook his head and halted the quails. Well, that was the world these days. Those damned ubiquitous birds were everywhere, ever since -- !!ZZzzzt!! The holocube came to life with a picture of 3-Tom, current CEO of Happy Apple. Gee, Eb mused, with each iteration he *did* look more like Robyn. . . . "Oh Great Leader, I bear some sad news. The Gloster GmbH Happy Whizzy-Feg Temporal Unsharkalator is offline." Tom shuffled nervously in the cube. He was in the Wozniak Memorial Room, Eb observed. You could just notice the glass case with the head of Bill Gates, just out of sight near the antique iMac. . . . "What? But you know that Phase 4 was to go into effect today!" Eb tried to keep a distinct whine from his voice. He really was looking forward to Phase 4! "Yes, oh Mighty One. But . . . well, there was another Tewist attack. They, um, broke into Sector 7G disguised as a wandering troupe of Capuchin mimes, and, well. . . ." Tom's eyes discovered something ostensibly interesting somewhere offscreen, down to the left. "You know, it's been pretty tense around here lately, and we all thought, well, Capuchin mimes *always* cheer up the workers, what with their happy stories and general love of humanity and all its adorable little foibles. . ." "Enough!" Eb's fingers gripped his seat tensely. Those damn Tewists! Ever since their leader Eddie was defenestrated right after the Fegolution, they were worse than ever. And then those persistent rumors that Eddie lived still, a ghost in the machinery of the State. . . . grrr. This sort of thing must not go unpunished. Eb made a mental note to send a FEGX detailing his concerns to Woj-Sven-Woj IV. Maybe it was time to add Ani DiFranco to the Contraband List? And then there was the matter of the terrorist left-wing hit squids. Their activity was also on the rise, and their leader -- the legendary Kris ibn Gross ali Hashashim al-Inkigoo -- was still at large. Rumor had it that old Gross was running his assassins from some underwater mountain, feeding them hallucinogenic kelp and rewarding their efforts with time in the Octopus' Garden, some foul paradise of sexual gratification and endless Sperm Whale burgers. What was this world coming to? Or was it time for another Mousestalker Incident? He eyed the trophy head of Lisa Loeb on the wall and smiled grimly. His grip loosened and he addressed the nervous looking Tom. "Is it completely offline? Or can it still effect events at all?" "No, we can still do a Level Three Temporal Whammy . . . that is, if I reverse the polarity of the neutron flow, and perhaps switch the #45 cord with the J-plug, and re-arrange the #5 line with the Prognostic F-thingie, and --" Eb cut him off in a burst of irritation. "Save the details for the techno-weenies, you damn Proggie cord-counter! Can you do it?" "Yes, oh Sublime One, but . . . surely you're not thinking of doing . . . of doing *that* again --" 3Tom gasped, then leaned intensely into the cube and whispered, "Think of the *children,* sir --" Eb shrugged. "I already had Eddie defenestrated; there's not much more I can do to the man than that. But -- BUT -- I can hit him where it hurts, back in the 80s, oh yessss. . . " Ah, the glory days, when the List was young, and the Great Quail had not -- "But wasn't the People Mover enough?" "No. And neither was the Skyway. You know what I want; so just do it. But do it sloooooly this time." Tom's eyes widened, and he whimpered painfully, "No -- no!" "Yes. Take out Mr. Toad's Wild Ride." Tom hung his head in the sad nod of the broken, and switched the cube off. It was going to be a long day. . . . . ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To be continued in PART TWO; or "Dan-Yell meets the Surreal Posse" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Great Quail, Keeper of the Libyrinth: http://www.rpg.net/quail/libyrinth "Countlessness of livestories have netherfallen by this plage, flick as flowflakes, litters from aloft, like a waast wizzard all of whirlworlds.
