Timewaster's Guide Archive

Come on! He's got this hatred for the nobility that goes beyond normal. He's cold about it. I'm not saying he's like Mr. voice of God in his head (what's his name, Zane? I'm forever forgetting the names of characters, after reading so many books, it's all kind of melded together) but he's definitely got some issues he needs to work on.

He's nearly unhinged like Sirius Black is nearly unhinged. Gone through horrible experiences they didn't deserve and now they can't get over it to the point that they are heartless and reckless. NOT normal behavior, IMO.

Life is Beautiful.

My husband and his brother told me it was the funniest movie I'd ever see. They didn't mention it was about the holocaust. It WAS funny, up until the end.... I cried for 3 days.

Since we're all talking about this I have two questions:

1) When you wrote Spook and gave him that really thick dialect, is the reason he doesn't have it so much in the second book because you got tired of trying to write his speech that way?

I only ask cause this story I've been working on, I've got this character with a dialect and about half way through I thought, AAAAH, forget it!
Dialects are really hard to keep up on.

2) How do you revise? When you are done with your first draft and whoever goes over it for you says, 'you need to fix these five points', then what do you do?

My husband says, to go one by one down my list and fix each one before moving onto the next. 'Course my husband is a Civil Engineer and he doesn't think like I do at all. But I'm a little lost as to where to start with all these great pieces of advise.

I guess that really had nothing to do with publication... did it.

My husband and I were having an argument about this (the friendly type...promise there was no yelling  )
HE says that Kelsier  is tall and well muscled. A very tough looking character that the scars on his arms only intensified.

I said that I thought Kelsier was a tall, skinny guy, a little worse for the wear, since he's been to the Pits and it's done it's dirty work on him. Like someone whose spent time doing hard labor and never fully recovered from it.

My husband said I'm wierd, and wrong. (he says I'm weird alot, so I wasn't so offended)

What do you think? Or maybe EUOL can tell us so that I can go back to him with an accurate answer.

It's always sad when someone dies so suddenly. I don't know why he died but he was my age and that is shocking. It made me feel sad, not enough to cry...mind you, but sad that people die so young and so suddenly. 'Course my husband did just walk in and say 'Heath Ledger died.' like no building up to it or anything and that wasn't something I had been waiting for so maybe that had an affect on it. Who know.
I didn't know he was the joker, interesting.

I haven't seen any of these masterpiece theatre one's but looking forward to an adaptation of Mansfield Park?! I wouldn't be, IMO by far the most boring of her works. I really had to push myself through that story and I in no means have a desire to watch a movie of it. But that's just me.

I'm not so into the really famous faces doing a main character, even if I did say Orlando, I think I might change my mind.... I think a good character is one that can leave you wondering where you've seen them before.

spook:   Max Pirkis                http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm1263

renoux:  Ralph Fiennes      http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0000146

Hamm:  Adam Baldwin    http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0000284
(though he may be to young looking i dont remember  how old hamm is supposed to be

Lord Ruler:  Jason Isaacs   http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0005042/
 (or maybe lord venture he plays a good stuck up noble man)

Shan elariel: ashley tisdale  http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0864308/
(ive been forced to watch high school musical like 5 times my brother was in a play version.im not sure about the mistborn fight but she just seems to look the part.)

for a possible kelsier or dockson: Kevin McKidd  http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0571727/
(I loved Journeyman. Just sad it might get cancelled.)

Clubs:John Rhys-Davies http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0722636/

I'm for Jason Isaacs... that's a good idea!
I don't know this Ashley girl but she looks the part, if she can be vicious and mean.

I feel really out of touch because I don't know half the people you guys are saying but Bruce Campbell looks pretty 'smooth' like I would think Breeze was, but I've always had it in my head that Breeze was a little more... erm, plump.
What about the guy who plays in Braveheart...as Wallaces best friend. He also play Mad Eye in HP. He might do well for Clubs or Ham, maybe to old for Ham but I don't know.

Any way it goes, I would say please please please don't let them do a movie unless it's LOTR caliber. No Eragon's please. I don't think I could handle them slaughtering Mistborn, it might make me cry.
