Current Talk '08 II / Re: Has DS taught you anything?

The appreciation of which in the real world is always downplayed in favor of virtuousness, as I suppose it should. But in the DS world virtuousness almost always equals dull - whereas the wicked characters are far more interesting. And we wouldn't have it any other way!  [ghost_cheesy]  Who the hell wants to watch a bunch of virtuous people being, well, virtuous?!  [ghost_tongue]

Right. I'd go ape if I had to watch Miss Winters in her short sleeve shifts minding David and spouting, "I don't understand."  Imagine my surprise when she and Burke were smooching by the fountain. My God, Jim! Had Vicky lost her virtuousness? I suppose that's another topic...
Let's start one!

Well, Mag, that may do the trick with Cassandra, but what about Angelique?

1563
Could Julia treat Angelique? But of course, with her magic amulet.

DS taught me to appreciate wickedness and long and lanky, mutton-chopped men.

I remember my first fest - I had been waiting in line for an autograph for over an hour. The hallway was hotter'n heck. Jim Pearson was making every attemp to soothe the fans, but to no avail. People were screaming at him. You have to realize that the folks who organize the fests work their asses off arranging this stuff. They go beyond their best. No, not every event works out the way it's planned, but it's pretty darn close. My last fest, I waited in line like everybody else. When I got to John Karlen, he asked me why I waited in line for so long, as I know him personally, and he said he would sign anything I wanted. Because of the experience. I wanted to experience what everybody else was. The fests are very personal. I feel fortunate to have met so many wonderful people. Gee whiz, if Nancy hadn't arrested me for wickedness in 2004, well, that's another story.
Enjoy the fests and all the folks you meet from across the globe. That's what I say, anyway.

Well, some of us do.

As far as the banquets go. I don't think I've ever had a decent meal at the Fests. That's not to say that the company isn't appreciated. But, brother, those banquet meals stink. I would prefer a buffet style meal, though I bet that's out of the question, as far as Marriotts go.
I went to my very first Southern wedding here in Dixie. It was held at a Marriott. The wait staff rushed everything. The food was terrific, but when goiing for a second helping, there was none to be had. The wait staff rushed us through the service. Terrible thing. I am still wondering what they did with all that steak.

Stephen King has made several references to Dark Shadows in his books. He often uses the character's names in his stories, such as Trask, Josette, Barnabas, et all.

When I saw Night of the Iguana, I was mesmerized. Grayson Hall has always had a place in my heart as Dr. Hoffman, but what a treat to see her in another venue. She was a brilliant actress. The best to you, Madam. Here's lookin' at you, kid. ::toast::

I think it's wonderful that the actors participate in the Fests. The experiences I've had have been pretty darn good, 'cept for the Tarrytown Halloweeny events, where the volunteers reminded me of Getstapo agents, who ushered all but the meekest of the meek into formation, and shouted absurdities. But that's another story.
I have been greeted with kindness and admiration for the drawings I had the actors sign, and yes - even Roger Davis was pleasant. I don't have a single unkind word to say about any of them.
I watched Jerry Lacy on YouTube thos morning - thank you all, whomever you are, for posting on YouTube - he was just wonderful, and everybody seemed to adore him. It was quite special.
You know, I tune into DS when I've had an especially yukky day at work, and by golly, it does me a world of good. The only thing missing are the Prell commercials and maybe the cigarette commercials. And Mike Douglas.

Current Talk '02 II / Re: Alexandra Molke's best moments as Vicky
« on: July 31, 2008, 12:22:48 AM »
Vicki's early dealings with David stand out in my memory, as well as her first scene with Joel Crothers as Nathan in 1795

I also thoroughly enjoyed Vicki's Blue Whale scene with the nearly-dead Jason McGuire, when he hinted he knew of her origins and she accused him of trying to hurt her.

That's the one!

Current Talk '02 II / Re: A Hard One - Best Actor(ess) on DS????
« on: July 31, 2008, 12:11:59 AM »
John Karlen certainly had a few advantages:

He had formal training as an actor at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

He had already been in a number of theatrical productions.

He already had extensive experience working in Television.

Willie Loomis was a role that allowed considerable room for an actor to "stretch" as far as he thought he could get away with.  The character changed so much over the course of his existance.

Definately. John Karlen gets my vote.

Once in a great while, a member will re-register for some reason.  In these cases, help is offered to get them back on track, at which point the duplicate account is deleted.

Deleting difficult members is not necessary with all the other options for dealing with problematic behaviors at our disposal.

Uh oh...
