But, I subscribed to something somewhere, I can't remember where I did this, hmm.....must have been Xoom.Com About the movie roles characters are in no particular order, I see Jack Nicholson as Orthalan and as the voice of Warrl. Glenn Close, Diane Keaton or Sigourney Weaver as Selenay. Angelica Huston as Tarma., Patrick Stewart as Tremane and maybe Urtho, Sir Alec Guiness (if he is still alive) as Sejanes or maybe Ulrich, Michelle Pfeiffer as Kethry and maybe Nyara, Wynonna Ryder as Talia, James Earl Jones as the voice of Roland and maybe the Haighleigh Emperor in the Silver Gryphon, Chloris Leachman as Savil and the voice of Sayvil, Richard Gere as Daren, Robert Downey, jr as Vanyel (Yes, I think RD is gorgous), Jonathan Taylor Thomas or the boy from The Wonder Years (who's name I can't remember) as Karal, and Val Kilmar as Firesong, and Christopher Lambert as Moondance, Sir Anthony Hopkins as Alberich. Oh, drat, I can't think of any more. Windy asked: >4) Besides Talia, are there any Heralds who were NOT in Haven when they were >Chosen? (i know there must have been, I just can't think of any) Eldan, I believe was in the fields at his father's farm when he was chosen. Tylendel, I believe was also not in Haven, also Neave(who was from some other unnamed country. Peter Allen wrote: > Mmm.. Off of the top of my head, you've got Skif, and then there's > Alberich... IIRC, some that came from Lake Evendim, too :). > Actually, I believe Skif lived in the outskirts of Haven just outside of the actual walls of the city, I would say that he was chosen in Haven A little humor for everyone Mahatma Ghandi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. He also was quite a spiritual person. Even when he was not on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. Furthermore, due to his diet, he ended up with very bad breath. In other words, he was a "Super calloused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis." I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Atheist Day, Happy Hannekah (I can't spell that one, Happy Solstice, Happy Yule, Happy Kwanzaaa, etc.....

Zephyr wrote: >Yes! His name is Mark Dukaskas. He was in the movie, Only the Strong (a movie about the Brazilian martial art Capoiera). I suggested him for Skif, but I think Darkwind would be even better, or even Vanyl...actually, the more I think about it, the more I like him for Van. I mean, he is relatively unknown. Dark hair, gorgeous cheekbones, good body & fighting skills, light build...yum.> I agree, I think he would make a good Van! He has very dark and mysterious looks and could carry Van very well! We'd have to do something about his eyes, though..Maybe contacts to make 'em silver... Elsa wrote: < It SNOWED!!!!!!

(My parents and sister are not law-abiding therefore I will get their presents on Saturday *g*). Guess what I got! A big, big calender with 12 of Monet's paintings (no, unfortunately not the real thing) and a book about his house in Giverny. I like them so much! And as I am in a good mood, I sent Torell home for midwinter festival. Therefore, welcome all you Newbies, make yourself feel like home, there are lots of tables with yummy food and lots of people who can answer your questions. Just look for their .sig saying COUNCILOR. Worst Movie Roles: >Karal: Will Weaton -- ugh, overacting and all. Strange, when I read this I thought: "Hey, that's who I always had in mind when I pictured Karal!" ;) Sorry, but I just couldn't bear his serving attitude. His job is something I really really hate to do (and believe me, I've done it!!!!!) so maybe my negative feelings towards the job influenced my view of Karal. >Hulda - Bette Midler Again I think she would be perfect! She is a good actress and I liked her show as bad witch in "Hocus Pocus" (I hope it had this is the title in English!!!) >Robin Williams as Treyvan >Whoopi Goldberg as Hydona >Vanyel: Hulk Hogan I thought I died of laughter! Huu, my eyes still water! That's absolutely great!!!!!! Now, the worst cast for me would be: Talia: Melanie Griffith Dirk: Don Johnson therefore Kris has to be (blast, I forgot his name) the guy who played Tubbs in Miami Vice Kero: Julia Roberts Firesong: Leonard Nimoy (can you see him lift his eyebrow? *G*) Karal: Wesley Snipes Eldan: Richard O'Brien (that is the guy who played Riff Raff in the Rocky Horror Picture Show as well as the bad bald sneaker in the Spice Girls Movie) I really love him but he would never fit into Valdemar. Hey, my sis said, she could picture Cher as Tarma! I had to agree. >ObMisty: >Do the Gryphon Books answer all these questions that have been raised in her >other books? Like: Companion's full powers, more on Urtho and the gryphons >and the other created animals, the original mage storms... Well, yes and no. They didn't explain Companion's but had everything you can desire about Urtho and the rest except for the Original Mage Storms themselves. Black Gryphon was very, very good. It was about the final weeks or months of the Mage Wars, explains gryphons and their mating and other very important stuff. White Gryphon was ... well, interesting but did not thrill me that much. It dealed with this kingdom that doesn't like change, whatsitsname? And Silver Gryphon was not worth the paper it was written on. There were no explanations at all, just a story about some kids getting lost *yawn*. Ice wrote: >(i apologize for my horrific grammer and overuse of exclamation marks......i >can't help it!!) Never mind, I like exclamation marks!!!! Here, have some for midwinter solstice !!!!!!!! :) WTTW and enjoy the holidays whatever you're celebrating and be happy ever after!
