Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but as long as he's not coming outright and saying "Christians are stupid" or some such like, he's allowed to say it. Palm Sunday used to mean something to me, as I spent a goodly portion of my life at Catholic school getting beaten over the head by crazy nuns. Now I'm agnostic and traumatized, and don't celebrate Christian holidays that aren't Easter or Christmas. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Nobody's being racist, Mariner. Don't accuse us before we've even said anything. Now I'm picturing the Erika/Rentar fight as being like that horrible, horrible Budweiser commercial, where the women get into a "Tastes great" vs. "Less filling" argument and end up ripping each other's clothes off and mud-wrestling in front of a crowd of drooling guys. Men are so tasteless--but of course, the movie would have to be directed by a man, because good female directors just don't seem to exist, and so Erika and Rentar probably would end up mud-wrestling in their undies. Gag. Am I being cynical? Sorry. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Please. Have you seen the robes on that Erika graphic? I'd say that almost counts as gratuitous nudity! That would be an interesting scene, though. As the six brave adventurers step into the immense entrance hall of Erika's citadel, she appears before them in a mystical flash of light...completely naked... -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man.

No way! Demi Moore was born to play Erika! Well, maybe not. But I still say she's the best choice. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Kinda like they did in "Wuthering Heights," where they had Juliette Binoche play all the Cathys. (It seems like there are more Cathys than there really are...all the Earnshaws, and the Lintons, and the Heathcliffs, and the Linton Heathcliffs, and the Heathcliff Earnshaws, and the Heathcliff Heathcliffs, and the multitude of Catherines...it really does seem like there are more than two [three?] of them.) -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man.

Wench screamed! "NO! YOU KILLED THE REBELS!" She collapsed on the ground, sobbing. "NO! We were supposed to be changing things so they wouldn't die! Enjy, and Courfeyrac, and Grantaire, and Joly, and Bossuet, and Combeferre, and Feuilly..." She continued rattling off a long list of all her favorite characters who died on the barricade, sobbing hysterically. "Well, we did change the plot of the novel!" ADoS smiled brightly. Wench blew her nose on a bloodstained tricolor sash. "How?" "We killed Marius, too!" OOC: *sniffles* My poor babies! Why did we have to kill all the rebels? -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

"YAY! Paris!" Wench gathered her things and dashed off the bus. "I've been waiting for this!" "Wait!" cried ADoS. "Where are you going--oh, dear." The street was blocked by an immense wall of furniture, and a crowd of law students with guns were standing on top of it shooting other French people with guns. "She went to the barricade," someone pointed out helpfully. "So we're not only in Paris, we're in Paris in 1832?" "June 5th, 1832." Wench had returned to the bus to rally more support for the rebel cause. "Come on! There are ways that a people can fight! Vivent les peuples! The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France! Don't you all want to die heroically on the barricade like everyone else?" Not waiting for an answer, she dashed off, singing "Do You Hear The People Sing" at the top of her lungs. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Wench deftly smashes LF's CD player with her Scythe and holds the blade of it to his throat. "You? Rule the back of the bus? I think not, little boy. Run along, now. The back of the bus is mine." With one kick of Wench's spiked, knee-high boot, LF went flying to the front of the bus, where Wench entrapped him in a cage of subordinate clauses and left him dangling like a participle, unable to free himself.

No way! The back of the bus is the lair of Rosycat and myself, to read depressing novels and eat junk food.

But Anaximander is supposed to be small and ratty. Sounds like Tom Cruise to me! I'm not sure, but I thought the description of Prazac said she was supposed to be tiny, so I doubt Nicole Kidman would work. I'm not sure who I picture as Prazac...just someone small and blond. And I still say Viggo should be...well, if not Jenneke, because everyone still seems to think that Jenneke is female, then perhaps Michael or Feodoric. I can see Viggo Mortensen as a scruffy priest. Who would play Chevyn? -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

"You heard her! If anyone complains, she puts on Nirvana! EVERYONE COMPLAIN! Come on, people, whine at the top of your lungs!" Wench gets up in preparation for headbanging to "Smells Like Teen Spirit." OOC: JF, I like Elton John as much as the next person, but really.

Wench sighed. "Heaven, Hell, Iraq and Ghikra in one day. And I haven't even gotten to the part where Heathcliff and Hareton kick the crap out of Linton and throw him to the evil cannibalistic dogs!" "What? That never happened!" Emily Bronte, temporarily back from the dead, folded her arms and scowled at the Grammar Wench. "It didn't?" Wench was bitterly disappointed. "Darn. Just my imagination running wild again." OOC: Can we go to Paris? I want to go to Paris! Please? -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

I'm still holding out for Alan Rickman as Solberg. Maybe Leonardo DiCaprio could play a bandit, or a goblin...just some character who dies a brutal death and doesn't get much stage time. In one of the other topics discussing the movie idea, someone suggested Demi Moore as Erika. I thought that wasn't a bad idea, actually. Not knowing all that many decent actors/actresses, though, I can't suggest anyone else. Although Viggo Mortensen, as we all know, works quite well as the scruffy adventuring type... -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Wench points to a badge on her cloak which reads "Official Spelling Wench," next to the nametag reading "Grammar Wench." "Hear that, Spark? It's the sound of your impending doom." She rounded on JF. "And you! Half the sentences in your post were questions--yet I see no question marks! PUNCTUATE PROPERLY, MONSIEUR!" OOC: JF, I would suggest getting us out of Hell before certain fanatics, whose names will be withheld to protect the innocent (i.e., me) pitch a fit about it. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man.

With a roar, Wench leapt into the middle of the aisle and bristled at JF. "Back, are you?" she roared. "Darn straight there's going to be trouble! You'd better shape up your grammar, mister, or you'll be tasting the blade of my Scythe! GRRRRRR!" OOC: All in fun, JF. :) But do try to be intelligible, please, and don't be pointless. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Yay for...850-something posts! *can't be bothered to check her own measly Erudite post count* Eh, well, I'll have 1000 someday. IC: With a taco dripping fire sauce in one hand, a bag of cinnamon-twirly-thingies in the other, a soda propped precariously against the back of the seat and a book in her lap, Wench is very, very happy. Oblivious to all around her (except bad grammar, of course), she resumes reading and screaming at the characters of her book, because they're all horrible, horrible people. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man.

Wench giggled. "Oh, Lethalis, you're such a dashing hero." :) She glanced up from her book and noticed the new Taco Bell. "YAY! I love tacos!" She raced over to the trailer to order soft tacos, chicken fajitas and lots and lots of cinnamon twisty-things. "TACO PARTY!" OOC: Aw, no food poisoning. That wouldn't be happy. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Wench held up a finger and began rummaging in her Voodoo Purse. "Hold on...no...that's not it..." She shrugged. "No bats, but I did find a mouse..." Handing Rosycat the mouse, she leaned back in her seat with her own heavily highlighted and bookmarked copy of Wuthering Heights, found some batteries for her Discman in the depths of her cloak and began singing along with the Goo Goo Dolls, intermittently shouting "Heathcliff, you jerk!" and banging the book against the back of the seat in front of her and settling back down to read as if nothing had happened. After a time, she paused the CD and poked her head over the back of the seat. "By the way, Alec, I'd watch the explosives if I were you. The Bush administration takes a very dim view of people who blow things up on buses." -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

A black-clad figure, complete with ripped, studded, spiked, black leather cloak, which everyone remembers from the other RPs, clambers up the steps, using her Scythe as a walking stick, and plops down in the back next to the pink Nephil. "ATTENTION, EVERYONE!" she shouts. "I am the Grammar Wench. I will be monitoring the grammar on this bus. Anyone who confuses 'their' and 'they're', or similarly 'your' and 'you're', anyone who punctuates incorrectly, who uses 'u' in place of 'you', who uses numbers in place of words, i.e., '4' instead of 'for' or '2' instead of 'to,' will be summarily beheaded." This having been said, she sits back down and begins re-lacing her combat boots. "AND NO COMMA SPLICES!" she adds, as an afterthought. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man.
