	The departure of comedy from the once hilarious novels of Thomas Hardy. I'm laughing already. -----signature----- I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough Without having ever felt sorry for itself.

	The Fourth Bear Cast: Peter Wingfield as Jack Spratt Nothing's changed, Madeleine. I'm still the same Jack Spratt. You might have told me you weren't real! I am real! In a collective-consciousness, post-modern zeitgeisty sort of way! Paul Bettany as Constable Ashley If you're trying to invite me home for sex on a first date, I don't have a penis, so you might be a bit disappointed. Then again, you haven't got a 1010111010101, so I might be too. Kate Winslet as Mary Mary No, no, you've got it all wrong. Paul Peck is the Palmer Park Peck; Peter Peck is the pockmarked Peck from Pembroke Park. Pillocks. I'd placed a pound on Pippa Piper picking PC Percy Procter from Pocklington. It seems a very laborious setup for a pretty lame joke, don't you think? Yes, I really don't know how he gets away with it. Dominic Monaghan as Charlie Baker The sniffling's nothing. Do you want to see my rash? Rachel Weisz as Gretel Brown-Horrocks Gretel. What? You're a woman . . . I know this. -----signature----- I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

	Jim Broadbent as Alan Mandible I'm sorry, when I said 'nuthouse,' I meant 'secure hospital.' Hugo Weaving (voice) as The Gingerbreadman Eight paces, then. You said ten earlier. Did I? Yes. Well, let's not be small about it. Ten it is. Sam Neill as Superintendant Briggs This isn't a plot device number twenty-seven, is it? Jude Law as David Copperfield The other three orderlies who accompanied him are critical in the hospital. Critical? Yes. Don't like the food, beds uncomfortable, waiting lists too long - usual crap. Sharon Small as Madeline Spratt Punch and Judy are . . . PDRs. I thought they might be. You did? How? How did you know? What, was it something they said? The way they walked? What? It was probably something to do with their heads being made of painted papier-mache. -----signature----- I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

	I discovered Jasper Fforde last October. I read the four Thursday Next books in two weeks. They are incredibly entertaining and bizarre and funny. I read The Fourth Bear next because my local library didn't have The Big Over Easy. Then I finally found a copy at another library. These books are so great. His website is great, too. I can't wait until the next thursday next book comes out. In July, right? -----signature----- Who is John Galt?

	Just finished it Oh my lord. No spoilers from me of course I just didn't realise how much I had missed Thursday & Co. Seems to always happen that, no matter how busy things are, when the book is purchased it's finished just a few hours later. I haven't checked out all of the special bonus material just yet, however. -----signature----- Working in Darkness - On Hiatus :::::: http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/15283754/p1

	is incoherent with joy Perhaps the word I'm looking for is SQUEEEE! I adored the TN books from the first chapter of TEA, which I still think is the best of the series, but that is probably heavily influeced by my amazement that a novel could exist which makes postmodernism not only enjoyable but utterly hysterical. coughThe character namescough Unfortunately I lent TEA and WOLP to a fried who was studying them in English and they appear to have migrated very permanently to the Text Sea. If only I had a Prose Portal, so I could extract Acheron Hades and point him in the direction of my unfortunate friend...Or I could just move to Tursday's world for good, but I'd want my revenge first. Rogue, your casting is giving me an intertextual headache - which is entirely a compliment. I essentially concur with everyon else on Dench, Brosnan, McKellen, Branagh (as Hamlet and Col. Next - "Time is out of joint! grins) etc. etc., so I won't repeat it. The computer generated ones are a challenge - it probably could be done and they are all so perfectly cast that suggesting an alternative is almost impossible. What about switching Kate Winslet and Sharon Small? There is some logic to the madness: inverting the roles minimises he "typecast" issue of Small being in Inspector Lynley and would give Winslet a totally different role to the ones she usually plays. Also I think Fforde makes a very specific point about Thursday being perfectly ordinary in appearence, so that she doesn't fall into the attractive heroine cliche trap, which is more easily avoided using Small instead of Winslet. Of course the flipside of the argument is the need for chemistry between Thursday and Landen and Acheron, (not all three at once )which is much more credible using Winslet. Decisions, decisions.... -----signature----- When dealing with ISB personnel, Rebels and obstreperous Moffs, Remember: it takes 23 muscles to frown, 17 to smile... and just 4 to retract your arm and punch them in the face.
