Look, Neil is writing the movie, which is different from the series, and way more involvement then say, Jennifer Saunders had in the attempted americanization of Ab Fab. Neil is also a co-producer. It's being filmed in Britain, and it's being done by a company that has always been in England. Jim Henson London has always been there, and is strikingly different then Henson US, take a look at the works of Brian Froud, etc. All things considered, they've got the right beginnings, Gaiman is deeply involved, they've got a great production staff; I say "let it go" we'll judge by the finished product; but it's certainly not an "americanized" version of the film, as it won't debut her in the US, and it will more then likely be listed at Cannes as a European entry, as was The Dark Crystal.

Lynch has such a trademark style and so many thematic signatures (doppelgangers, electrical faults, small strange blokes, industrial background music) it might get in the way of Neil's style. But yes, I'd rather see Lynch have a go than some generic Hollywood namesake who would just stick Mel Gibson in the lead role and write in a sex scene whether we like it or not. I've never seen the US version of Men Behaving Badly, but I suspect they gave it the same treatment as they did with AbFab. How on earth it could have succeeded with no drunkenness, smoking, drug abuse, swearing, sexism, and farting? No doubt they'll all be treated as serious social problems to be dealt with through therapy, rather than true comedic stalwarts as we English do, or just miss them out altogether and ruin the whole point of the comedy.

I have a boot - Down Under the Pink - with the same picture. I came from some Australian magazine (like the Star, or something). I looked pretty hard at that picture, and I surmised that it's just a simple case of - oh, should I say this - cameltoe. I've worn stockings, and I know how they can be.

I was on the Neil gaiman NG recently and several people reported that Neil himself has said that the production of the Sandman movie has been halted at least temporarily. I don't know how accurate it is. As for the Death movie, I read an interview in last month's INquest where he said he was working on a rough draft of the script based (and exapnding upon) the High Cost of LIving mini. He also said he wants to direct, because after what happened with Neverwhere (they took all the control away from him and just did whatever they wanted with his story -- just another case of the writer getting screwed), he wants as much control over his characters and his material as he can get. Hope it works out. BTW, who do you see portraying Death? Bright Blessings and Lollipops! Yvette. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Definitions are limiting.

They _are_ working together, as we speak. I think it's a radio drama, although I heard they were not sure yet on the format. Something about a detective (Gaiman's creation) and some guy who has some obsession about tin foil (Lynch's addition). Not sure exactly what the story is. I am so anxious to hear/see this! Two of my favorites, working together. The world ain't so bad after all! Bright Blessings and Lollipops!

You know, there's good stuff going over there. Heard there was some really good singer/writer over there who did her songs on the piano (and some times did the piano on her songs). Also some good british stuff never gets the publicity it deserves in the mediocre state thing are happening over there. Take Radiohead for example. Got bumped off the charts again and again only to head them over the ocean (and of course in my extremely small sorry excuse of a country). Anyway, my suggestion for directing the upcoming Neil film is Terry Gilliam, who did 12 Monkeys and Brazil, also known for doing quite a bit of the Monty Python thingee (and that's right lads, he's british).

The lead girl in the movie is Rose McGowan (yes, the girl from Scream) I think she has almost the perfect attitude to play Death, not to mention the looks. If Gaiman is directing after all he should look into getting her to audition, I think all Sandman fans would be pleased.

"I am a minister's daughter, for heaven's sake! So, of course, I can see why some would regard sexual fantasies about Jesus Christ as unacceptable. But that's part of what I'm saying in Icicle, when I tell of how I used to masturbate at home as a teenager, while my father and his fellow theologians were downstairs discussing the Divine Light. I was exploring the 'divine light' within myself". (laughs) "And anyone who sees that as 'blasphemous' can go to hell! Like I said to you before, that's how women are paralysed, disconnected from their own power by religion. Talk about patriarchal power structures. For centuries the Church has slammed a crucifix between a woman's legs and even masturbation obviously is a way of dislodging that cross, of self-empowerment. And how dare anybody say that my honouring my woman-ness in that way, my relationship with my own body and my opening to this energy between my legs is a 'sin against God' is 'blasphemous.'" "That was my act of defiance, of asserting myself against the oppressive force of religion which has always made women deny their sexuality. The concept is that Jesus Christ, through the Father, Son and Holy Spirit experienced life - the human form. Well, what I find quite inexplicable is that he could suckle at a woman's breast yet not soil his dinky by having sex! How's he supposed to experience life at the level of his dick, for Christ's sake!" "That's the Church's core denial of sexuality, right there, alongside the idea that Mary could give birth without 'doing it'. It's absurd. So when I say I want to 'do it' with Jesus Christ it's not just that I want to sexualize Jesus, bring him down to our level, I want to breathe the earth into his lungs. He came from Heaven and we, as women, come from the earth. So it's the idea of soil beneath the fingers, the notion of, 'If this blood is sacred, then drink it'. That's what it's all about". ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 17:35:58 -0400 From: "w4barron" Subject: This Deflowering Thing Look, people.

I think you're right that American *television* would very probably foul Neverwhere up, but as a quick study of entertainment (past and present) will show, we have managed to put out more than a few quality films. Not all Americans are tasteless oafs. I've seen some pretty darn "kewl" American things, and I've seen some unbearably awful British stuff, so.... And from what I understand, you Brits have tried to take some of OUR shows and translate them for TV over there and *that* hasn't worked out too well either, so it's not like you guys don't ever wear the other shoe.

If you want to argue, I think it would be best for those of us who are sick of constantly deleting these petty arguments if you would e-mail eachother privately. We are all here for one reason- to celebrate the very existence of someone we all care for. I don't think that means we should be insulting people or making them feel awful just because they asked a question. Obviously, no one knows the answer to her question anyways, so could we drop this subject? If no actual information is being distributed on the answer to the virginity question, why keep the morality issue going? This is my first post to this list, and to tell you the truth, if I did have a question I needed you guys to help me out with, I think I would be afraid to ask. - -K ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 22:24:16 -0500 From: bluegirl Subject: Re: More Neil stuff do you mean ferusea baulk (sic)?.. she was the cool looking evil chick... the one with the dog collar.

After apparently being screwed in the making of Neverwhere, Neil has decided that he wants complete control over the Death film (which he will not have over the Sandman film. The guy he wanted to directed it, Roger Avery of Killing Zoe / Pulp Fiction fame was fired from the job by WB) so yeah he wants to direct it himself.

It would seem like apretty good choice to me, although I think that it would be more likely that they would go with someone like Winona Ryder personally. Not that I like Winona, but I just think that she's kinda the choice that Warner Bros would make. > >Michael Francis > > > > ~marissa > at-->mlverma@odin.cmp.ilstu.edu > _____________________________ > | hEllo EveRybOdy | > | iT's ME. nOt anYone ElsE | > | jUsT mE.

No I do not go around beating on Americans for the fun of it (well except perhaps for John Bognadove and Marvel comics, but they deserve it). So if you're looking for an apology, I'm sorry. But I really don't think that Warner Bros (who I assume would be making Neverwhere) would preserve Neil's original vision of the show.

Perhaps you're thinking of the lovely Faruiza Balk. (I prolly butchered the spelling, but oh well...) She would be a good choice, I think. :) - -Karen - - - karenjw@one.net - - - - - - - - - - - - butterflies don't belong in nets -ta - - http://w3.one.net/~karenjw/welcome.html - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Aug 1997 01:14:34 -0400 From: agentorange2@juno.com (Rusty M Shelby) Subject: A links page by Rusty hello hello to everyone i know (and everyone that i don't, esp. since this will be going to a few mailing lists as well)! well, there has been a lot happening in my life lately... well, not a lot, just more than in the past few months (which, in turn is more than i am used to). so, with out further or do - since most of you have lives too - this is the grand opening announcement / invitation for you all to stop by and see me new web site. http://www.cantnot.org/rusty my brother created it for me (with my help and ideas of course), so give him a big thanks as well. the page contains links to almost all of the music sites i love. (this is a big step since my last try). i hope you all enjoy it. there are a lot of graphics, so, please give it time to load. if you find anything wrong, please send me an email (click on my address at the bottom of the page). this also brings up something else... so far, the links page only includes sites i feel should be up there. i am sure there are plenty of others, so, if you have a site, or know of one, please send me the URL and i will be happy to review it and possibly add it to the page. on this note, i will end. my page is related in some form of fashion to the mailing lists i have sent this to, so, this is not unsolicited mail sneeking it's way to your list. :) good luck and i hope to hear from you all soon. those who just started school again, i wish you luck. - -rusty agentorange2@juno.com ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V2 #233 *************************************
