KK Chat -- 16 June 2013 Part 2

[DesertRose]

[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:06 PM] <DesertRose> My grandmother used to have a bunch of peacock tail feathers in a vase in her living room. I wasn't allowed to touch them as a child, because she was afraid I'd accidentally screw them up.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:08 PM] * Evie steps on Transfer Portal and disappears in a shower of blue-violet sparklies, blissfully oblivious to the fact that her sparklies are non-canonical
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:11 PM] <DesertRose> See you, Evie!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:13 PM] <KK> How was Great Gatsby?
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:14 PM] <the_Bee> Bye Evie
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:14 PM] <irina> bye Evie,have fun!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:15 PM] <Alkari> Bye evie - enjoy the movie
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:19 PM] Quit Evie has left this server (Quit: Don't push the red button!).
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:22 PM] <jemler> enjoy the moviwe
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:31 PM] <Alkari> I enjoyed it KK - quite sad really at the end.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:43 PM] <irina> I'm waiting until the DVD comes out or the theatre deigns to show it in 2D
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:50 PM] <Alkari> The costumes and production are just amazing
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:51 PM] <irina> because 3D gives me vertigo
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:53 PM] <DesertRose> I hated the novel when I read it in high school, so I'm not sure I want to see the film.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:57 PM] <KK> I don't remember much about the original story, so it'll be mostly new to me.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:12:58 PM] <Alkari> I saw it in 2D
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:13:07 PM] <DesertRose> I was NOT a fan of American Modernists.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:13:09 PM] <irina> oh gatsby, I was talking abotu Star Trek
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:13:14 PM] <Alkari> Same here KK, so I just went in 'cold' as it were
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:13:19 PM] <Jerusha> I wasn't keen on the novel either, DR
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:13:45 PM] <KK> They say the costumes are wonderful.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:13:56 PM] <Alkari> They are amazing, KK - and the sets
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:14:05 PM] <DesertRose> I should probably re-read it to see if I like it any better as an adult. There have been a few things I hated as an adolescent that I liked a lot better as a more mature, experienced reader.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:14:08 PM] <irina> I usually try to avoid Leonardo DiCaprio
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:14:23 PM] <Jerusha> Me too, Irina
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:14:27 PM] <Alkari> He isn't a bad actor, in the right role
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:14:45 PM] <Alkari> I like him much better than Orlando Bloom!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:14:51 PM] <DesertRose> I think I still hate Faulkner, though.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:14:53 PM] <irina> but what my daughters call "a creep"
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:15:01 PM] <irina> I don't like Orlando Bloom much, either
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:15:17 PM] <jemler> book 110 of the original codex on ebay. the current bid is 249.00
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:15:27 PM] <KK> I like Orlando Bloom as an elf, but not that e xcited about other stuff he's done.l
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:15:37 PM] <jemler> he was in pirates!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:15:40 PM] <Alkari> Must be a function of my age - my favourites are all older actors
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:15:49 PM] <DesertRose> My daughter thought Orlando Bloom was all that and a box of socks when he played Legolas, and she was NOT happy to find out that he's only a year younger than I am.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:01 PM] <Alkari> LOL @DR
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:05 PM] <KK> LOL
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:10 PM] <cynicalmedic> Mine too - other than Benedict Cumberbatch.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:24 PM] <irina> Peter O'Toole!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:26 PM] <DesertRose> She was also severely displeased to learn that Johnny Depp has been a heartthrob since I was a screaming teenage girl.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:26 PM] <Jerusha> That is an awesome name
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:39 PM] <Alkari> Poor daughter!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:41 PM] <DesertRose> She was like, OMG, no way he's that old.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:53 PM] <the_Bee> The last time I went to the movies was at our Deryni-fan get-together in PA.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:16:56 PM] <Alkari> I like Cumberbatch too - AND he can act
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:07 PM] <KK> Ah, Peter O'Toole in Lawrence, Becket....
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:12 PM] <cynicalmedic> Isn't it? He's a good actor too - he has one of those voices, too - like Alan Rickman
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:13 PM] <DesertRose> Then she looked him up on IMDb and found that I was telling the truth.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:18 PM] <Alkari> Yes - and in The Lion in Winter
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:20 PM] <irina> ooh, Alan Rickman
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:29 PM] <KK> I like Alan Rickman.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:33 PM] <DesertRose> Peter O'Toole fifteen years ago is my dream-cast actor for Camber.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:35 PM] <Alkari> Yes.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:42 PM] <jemler> Depp is three months younger than me.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:43 PM] <the_Bee> Cumberbatch? What's he in now?
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:49 PM] <irina> as he was in Augustus? definitely!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:17:58 PM] <DesertRose> He's a little too frail now to pull it off, but a few years ago, he'd have made an awesome Camber.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:02 PM] <Alkari> One of my current favourites as a real chameleon actor - Mark Strong
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:09 PM] Join fudgebob has joined this channel (~Thunderbird@9C6C4E.EFDB47.5654A7.12449A).
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:09 PM] <KK> That'd be cool. But nowadays, he looks like a mummy. Hasn't aged well. Of course, when you're pickled in alcohol....
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:10 PM] <DesertRose> Mark Strong is good.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:14 PM] <DesertRose> Hiya fudgebob.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:17 PM] <the_Bee> Hi fudgebob
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:21 PM] <jemler> hi fugebob
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:22 PM] <Alkari> Hi fudgebob
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:26 PM] <DesertRose> No, he hasn't aged well at all, which is sad.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:39 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Fudgebob
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:49 PM] <Alkari> Mark Strong is one of those actors who is so very good at doing 'bad' or morally dubious
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:18:56 PM] <cynicalmedic> He's playing the villain in the new Star Trek, and the voice of Smaug in the next Hobbit movie
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:19:00 PM] <KK> But oh, was he gorgeous in Lawrence and Becket.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:19:05 PM] <Alkari> and he has a lovely voice
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:19:10 PM] <DesertRose> Well, that sort of roll is fun to play, Alkari.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:19:12 PM] <DesertRose> *role
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:19:33 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, yes he was, KK.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:19:37 PM] <Alkari> I first really noticed him as the head of JOrdanian Intelligence in 'Body of Lies'
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:19:52 PM] <Alkari> And he has turned up in all sorts of things since then.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:20:06 PM] <DesertRose> The first thing I ever saw Peter O'Toole in, of all the silly things, was that goofy Supergirl movie in the 80s.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:20:18 PM] <DesertRose> He did a good job of a crappy role, though.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:20:19 PM] <Alkari> KK, it was a travesty that O'Toole didn't win the Oscar for Lion in Winter
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:20:19 PM] <irina> my first was How to Steal a Million
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:20:34 PM] <DesertRose> Yes @ Alkari.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:20:40 PM] <KK> Yep, he's done some great roles.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:21:17 PM] <Alkari> O'Tole and Katherine Hepburn - what a partnership in that movie
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:21:40 PM] <DesertRose> YES!!!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:21:48 PM] <Jerusha> Bad storm - signing off now
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:21:50 PM] <KK> There have been some amazing "introducing" films for great actors: Lawrence, for O'Toole; Zulu, for Michael Caine.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:21:54 PM] Quit Jerusha has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:22:04 PM] <KK> Whoops, she's gone.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:22:05 PM] <Alkari> ZULU! Oh that is a fabulous movie
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:22:06 PM] <DesertRose> Oh drat. Jerusha bailed before I could say bye.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:22:25 PM] <KK> We wore out at least 2 videotape copies of Zulu.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:22:27 PM] <irina> doesn't want her computer fried, I suppose
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:22:33 PM] <Alkari> And I loved Caine with Sean Connery in The Man Who Would be King
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:22:39 PM] <KK> Yes!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:23:00 PM] <Alkari> That is one version of a Kipling story that absolutley does credit - and more - to the author
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:23:59 PM] <KK> Loved Connery in The Wind and the Lion, too. "Mrs. Petticaris, you are a very troublesome woman."
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:24:10 PM] <Alkari> Oh yes, I'd forgotten that
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:24:56 PM] <Alkari> And as Indiana Jones' father in the third IJ movie
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:25:13 PM] <jemler> i thought you'd typed pettycash! i had to re-read it.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:25:24 PM] <cynicalmedic> "Indiana? We named the dog Indiana!"
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:25:31 PM] <Alkari>
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:25:43 PM] <KK> Well, I probably ought to try to get some work done. My internet was out for Friday and Saturday, so I've spent most of today catching up on e-mails and th elike. But amazing, how much one can get donw without the distraction of the internet.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:25:45 PM] <jemler> i should have sent it to the marx brothers!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:26:09 PM] <cynicalmedic> I have to go to - time to write evals for my rookies
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:26:10 PM] <Alkari> Ack, KK. Yes, emails and stuff just pile up
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:26:18 PM] <jemler> dr and i were talking ferris beuller earlier.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:26:22 PM] <irina> if I go to bed now I'll probably sleep, regardless of snoring.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:26:33 PM] <Alkari> I was late to Chat becayse I was working through my Monday morning list of essential phone calls
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:26:36 PM] <jemler> won't bother me if you snore.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:26:38 PM] <the_Bee> Thanks for coming, KK and CM.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:26:42 PM] <KK> And Irina, you should go to bed! It must be 2 or 3 AM.

[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:27:25 PM] <irina> east, close to the German border
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:27:33 PM] <Alkari> ah, OK.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:27:33 PM] <DesertRose> Night, night irina.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:27:35 PM] <irina> night all!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:27:38 PM] <KK> Yep, should have good things to report next week. This week Alaric will get to know the new queen, only to have her discover that he's not only Deryni, but he uses his powers from time to time.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:27:44 PM] <the_Bee> good night Irina
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:27:45 PM] <Alkari> Thanks for coming KK - happy writing
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:27:46 PM] <DesertRose> Oh dear.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:27:59 PM] <jemler> spoiler alert!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:04 PM] <KK> Come back next week, Irina.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:10 PM] <Alkari> Uh oh - this does not sound good for poor Alaric
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:10 PM] * DesertRose smacks jemler with a mackerel.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:12 PM] <irina> probably not in the middle of the night!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:18 PM] <KK> And all the rest of you. Nighters.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:22 PM] <DesertRose> Night, KK!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:26 PM] <Alkari> Night KK
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:27 PM] <the_Bee> goodnight, KK
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:35 PM] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:39 PM] <irina> I love the company but not the transatlantic hour.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:28:49 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, irina.
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:29:01 PM] <Alkari> At least it is a civilised hour here!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:29:02 PM] <jemler> ok, we'll all move to europe!
[Sunday, June 16, 2013] [08:29:03 PM] <KK> Seeyou next week.
