patentdragonBeen working some more on ...Mane-of-Night: Dancers of Freeport, and the story is getting ever closer to its conclusion. I'm not 100% satisfied with this last chapter at present, but I have time to work on it, given that there's no immediate posting-date in mind.
Part of the problem is an increasingly-congested "Coming Soon" list, as this story is the first part of something larger - and that's what I'd been hoping to avoid.
Prisoner Watch... I'm continuing with
Meanwhile... I've not had much time to think about the whole Elfquest movie thing. I mean, are people really going to get confused by two movies for which "vaguely similar" barely seems to fit - I mean yes, there are elves in both, but any "quest" in The Hobbit pales into insignificance compared to the main story-line of Lord Of The Rings. LOTR already has an established world, set up by the three biggest movies of all time before Avatar came along, and both parts of The Hobbit are midway through production, whilst any EQ movie is a LOOOOOONG way from getting in front of any cameras...
Of course, the property is now out there for anyone to take on, and given the positive buzz about The Hobbit, Game Of Thrones and the like, someone might want to take a shot at bringing Cutter and tribe to the big screen to capitalise on that renewed upswell in fantasy fiction. Hey, get Guillermo del Toro to do it - Doug (Abe Sapien/The Faun) Jones for Lord Voll, and (dare I say it) Morena (my Number 1 pick for Mane-of-Night) Baccarin for Winnowill...!

96 - Watch the original version of The Prisoner in its entirety (9/17)and the halfway mark has just been passed! It's a bit frustrating that the episode order on this boxed set is out of whack - all of a sudden, Number 6 is "new in town" again, and "straining at the bit", after a string of episodes where he's been more canny, and "playing the game". It's not too big a problem, but still, it's there.
