Hey All:

Just thought I'd update a little and let you know, Dinner For Five's (D45) first season is available on DVD.

I also registered to D45's forum and posted this suggestion:

Quote:

Jon,

I love D45. Is the show going to be releasing new episodes this year?

I am a regular at fireflyfans.net, a site dedicated to the prematurely-cancelled Joss Whedon vehicle, "Firefly". The series died on F*x TV, but is resurrected this September '05 in theatres as "Serenity", a Universal production.

Joss is also a cult favorite for his "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and spin-off "Angel"; was nominated for an Oscar for Best Writing, Original Screenplay on "Toy Story"; and is involved with X-Men comics (among others).

I was wondering if you're at all familiar with the real-world industry quagmire that the Firefly ordeal represents; and most specifically, if y'all had given any thought to having Joss on D45? As I said, his "Serenity" is scheduled for a September 2005 theatrical release, and is in 'post' at this time.

Over on FFFn, I proposed a guest list for such a speculative Joss Whedon-based episode, thus:

Quote:
...Wouldn't it be great to get the BDH's (Firefly-speak for 'Big Damned Heroes') on D45? *snipped, 'cause y'all can read it, above*... (from http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=8636#115387 )

TIA for your consideration, and any response you might render...

Respectfully,

zoid

Who knows? Maybe they'll actually consider a Joss Whedon D45 episode...

Guerilla-ishly,

zoid

Do you remember that Brady Bunch ep where Peter (I think) had to build a volcano for school and it exploded mud everywhere? Yup. I have that in the trunk of my car, so watch out.

So, we're back on the topic of mud, are we? Or is yours more of a grout-cano?

Ok, without being able to say Joss, this got really hard. Damn you, zoid!

However, I gave my all despite...

1. Jean-Pierre Jeunet - He's the director of my favorite movie, Amelie. The beauty and life of the movie almost chokes me up if I think about it too much. To have such vision, and stick to it for so long....

2. Stephen King - Initially, I would berate him for being rude to Mal. How dare he? Probably feared your beauty. However, I do admire his forthrightness and would love to get in an argument (that I should surely lose) with him.

3. Brad Pitt - For a Hollywood prettyboy, he's made some interesting choices, like the cinematic adaptaion of one of my favorite books, A River Runs Through It. I also love Snatch, Ocean's 11, and Seven. We would, however avoid the topics of Friends and Troy. So no one gets indigestion.

I stuck with people from The Now because its what interests me. I would love to have the knowledge that would put to rest past mysteries. However, what intrigues me so much about those events are their mystery. I never like something as much once I have the forumla figured out. (Damn you, RL Stine.)

Now THESE three I would shackle together for all eternity, a la "McTeague". They deserve each other.

Thank you, KGB. He needs to be berated! I have no idea what he had shoved up his ass, but he was a jerk. And I have been reading him since I was 12! That's...let's see, carry the 3...a long time! I have all his books, IN HARDBACK, most are 1st editions, too! I frankly considered shipping them all to him and asking for my money back.

However, if the topic had been "Who would you want with you on a deserted island?" I would pick him (along with Nathan Fillion, for the sex). He would be my own personal audio-book.

Hmm, this list changes from minute to minute but:

1. Bill Waterson.

2. Tom Baker.

3. Stephen Fry. Thatweirdgirl (Isn't there something snappier I can call you? Twiggy? Twigster?) I think you'd like him (if you don't already)

I wouldn't even waste the time by talking myself, I'd just listen and take notes.

Had this poll been asked a while ago, how about:

1. Douglas Adams

2. Bill Hicks

3. Lew Grade

SimonWho:

'Tom Baker' is a pairing of pretty common given and surnames. I presume the Tom Baker that portrayed Dr. Who? If so, might I likewise suppose that this nominee informs us about the significance of your screen name, too? Lurking Timelord, are we?

...And I've been calling her 'twg-gy' for some time, and she hasn't slapped me verbally, yet. I presume this means she doesn't mind the nickname overmuch, or else is too polite to put me straight.

On the other hand, you've seen her photo gallery, right? She's neither 'weird' (i'd say 'playful') nor 'girlish', and she's certainly not Callista Flockhart 'twiggish'.

So...

Suddenly Very Confused,

zoid

P.S.
Stephen Fry, hmm? Along with Hugh Laurie (of "House"), another 'Blackadder' alumnus. Eventually, somebody will put all this evidence together and give that show its due.

Er Tom Baker....He lives in the village I work at. I've seen him wondering around the newsagents and in Sainsbury's, where I might add because of his status he jumps the queue!

Haven't seen him recently though I think somebody said he moved to a village a little farther up called Egerton.

He's a really imposing fellow. Absolutely huge, 6"2' or so and has, as I'm sure you all know, an incredibly expolsive voice. He freaks the hell outa me... and always seems to lurk.

I'm not up on this but I think I remember hearing that he used to have his Tombstone in his garden and it read something akin to :

Here lies the daft wanker!

Anybody read his book: The Boy who Kicked Pigs bloody weird, but interesting.

Großadmiral Karl Dönitz: Head of the German U-Boat Service then the entire Navy in WWII, became President of Germany for a short while. It would be interesting to discuss submarine Vs. U-Boat tactics with him and Lockwood.

Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood: CONSUBPAC in WWII. The man who commanded captains like Fluckey, O'Kane, Beach, Ramage, Morton and many others would always have a place at my table. I would love to hear stories about the officers under his command and his decisions that arguably turned the tide of the Pacific War.

Captain Chester M. Mack: CO of USS Lapon SSN 661. He and Lapon tracked a Soviet YANKEE class SSBN on deterrent patrol for a month! I want to hear the story from the lips of the commander himself!

Of course after lunch I would show them all Firefly!
