Well, I admit it! I got a few movies mixed up, as I thought before. Brian Singer is in fact involved with the X-Men movie, and the next Spice Girl movie (jk), and not, in fact, with DNA in any way, shape or form.

I think they are, but all is not lost: even Disney can decently interpret a story once in a while. (Exhibit A: "Kiki's Delivery Service", a classic anime. Contrary to all expectations, they did a decent dub on the movie and didn't screw it up.) Hopefully, HHGTTG will go the same way; they won't fall for the trap of going for easily marketable superstars. +damienw@juno.com--SkidMark1 on #EFNet------------------------+ And the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling CLOUD | of VENGENCE.

Ok. I'll admit that if someone likes a band and that band happens to mention a bunch of different authors in a song, the listeners will probably be compelled. But I was actually speaking on a more general level, something along the lines of "Jamie and Kent both listen to TMBG. Therefore, because Jamie loves to read Kurt Vonnegut, so will Kent." This is the kind of reasoning I was talking about. > Not mention things like... i bought guitar magazine just cuz flansburgh > was in it. I don't normally buy the magazine... i don't read it, but i > did because of his music... comprende? Once again, this is something which any big fan of TMBG would probably find appealing enough to buy. But if it were not for Flans or Linnell being in something in particular, I don't see any real reason that the majority of TMBGers might be reading the same magazines. My major point in that other post was the insanity of thinking along the lines that "Joanie and Henry love TMBG. Joanie likes to read Playgirl whilst listening to Apollo 18, therefore Henry does the same." But then again, I have no idea why I responded to a post about TMBG and porn to begin with, save to lighten things up a bit more. In actuality, it seemed I'd dug a pit and fell into it. bobscott@tmbg.org AKA Bob "One man's Beck is another man's Mansun" Scott http://members.theglobe.com/bobscott/default.html Someday something new will be added, and it will be good.

This is the kind of > reasoning I was talking about. True, but different authors attract different types of readers. Just as different bands attract different listeners. There are obviously going to be bands and authors that reach the same group. For example I think that by this point it is reasonable to assume that most people here read Douglas Adams' books.

That was before I was really a TMBG fan. I was partially influenced to read Terry Pratchett because I had heard that there were TMBG references in his books. (Pratchett's books would be excellent without these references, though.) >i've never even heard of Douglas Adams though. I can actually see some similarity between Vonnegut and Adams. They both have a somewhat chaotic writing style, which tends to go off on tangents. There's also a good amount of cynicism in the works of both authors. (Adams generally tends to be more light-hearted than Vonnegut, but the first HHGTTG book does begin with the world being destroyed.) -- May you live in interesting times, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/5447/ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 17:50:35 -0500 Subject: Re: TMBG: OFF TOPIC: THHGTTG movie Message-ID: <19990214.175047.-134039.2.gray42@juno.com> From: Claire V Gray >Well, I admit it!

If you do (or if anyone does, whether they've got a >Tuscadero website or not :), please email me. Teen Beat's old site is http://www.erols.com/teenbeat/ The new site is http://www.teenbeatrecords.com/ , but it's not 100% functional yet.

There's an unofficial site at: http://members.xoom.com/kburt/unrest.html But I didn't see any lyrics there. :-/ TTYL, -Adam -- /=---------------- http://www.he-man.org/ctyner/ ----------------=\ http://www.crystal-night.com/~ctyner/tuscadero.html http://www.awod.com/gallery/rwav/ctyner/ He-Man, Tuscadero, "Weird Al", Yoo-hoo, Killer Tomatoes, & more! ------------------------------ From: linnel@snet.net Message-Id: <199902150241.VAA02980@pop.snet.net> Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 21:36:41 -0500 Subject: Re: non-TMBG: RE:TMBGer similarities? > > I don't think the music a > > >person > > >listens to affects what porn/poetry/literature of any type a person > > >chooses. oh, i like ALL porn! d'oh! bad jen! bad! *hits herself repeatedly* you don't say those things OUT LOUD.
