Okay....that's it.....where's the change-of-name form on this forum?

I refuse to spend the entire Fest answering the room phone with "NO, I'M THE OTHER RAINEY!!!"  ::)

I saw Secret Window tonight too. Johnny Depp and John Turturo were much better than the movie as a whole. It was reasonably close to the story, which, as I said, didn't do a lot for me; but Depp was fabulous, a bit surly, with some inspired lines. And I kinda liked the ending, which I'll not spoil here. I'll give it a C for content, an A+ for casting.

Writers, especially horror writers, tuckerize others to an alarming extent ("tuckerizing" being the practice of using a form of a real person's name, usually a friend, in a story). 
That's Great Marcus!! But what do writers call it when they use the real name of a friend in their fictional stories? In Elizabeth Massie's book, 'A House Divided', one Mr. Robert Issel(Hey.....that's me!) ;) appears in text as a trail-blazer of sorts.  ;D

Law and Order once had a character named Karlen....a female judge who survived an attempt on her life.  I recall wondering if someone associated with the show was an old New York theatre buddy of Johnny's and did that for a laugh.

I'm a Law and Order junkie. I'll have to watch out for this one!

An early on one, during the Moriarity years.  It was the episode about the woman offering alternative treatments for breast cancer- they are trying to contact other patients, and rattle of names, turns out none could be reached, since all had died.  My name is in that list.

Thanks, I know the one.  Cool!
