Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Paul's a crafty hombre all right, Kenji. In CONSPIRACIES, he mentioned the New York Fortean Society (sadly defunct). As I glory in membership number 1 and-a-half of that advanced-thinking crew, I asked Paul how he happened to know about us. Did he ever attend a meeting? Does he know John Keel?He replied, just basic research. (Though why he connected our good name with some nut-job groups, I will =never= understand.) :mad:
Kenji Wrote:You know Ken,........well, ah.........who is Qwie Chang Kane??? :confused:
KRW Wrote:Sorry Kenji, he was the charcter in the series "Kung Fu", also known as grasshopper. The rice paper bit was in the intro. Basicaly, when you can walk across rice paper without tearing it, you will be ready. That also goes for snatching pepples from a masters hand. I also probably misspelled the name. All in all it means I have alot to learn.

Kenji Wrote:Ahhhh, I see! Thanks for info. I've never seen "Kung Fu", so I didn't know him....
Oh, and I can't walk across rice paper without tearing it.
Kenji Wrote:While I was reading Sims, one thoughts stuck to my mind.
"Why does nobody make this into a movie or TV mini-series?"
The concept of Sims is fit for movie or TV, IMHO. While I was reading Sims, actually, I imagined those actors & actresses.
Patrick Sullivan....Matthew McConaughey
Romy Cadman.....Sandra Bullock
Tome.....Andy Serkis
Zero.....Bruce Willis
Portero....Rock
Ellis Sinclair.....Christian Bale
Mercer Sinclair.... David Thewlis
Abel Voss.....Christopher Walken
I heard about The Touch TV mini-series, but I want to see Sims; Movie or TV mini-series version.
Maggers Wrote:That would be one expensive TV mini-series, based on the cast alone. Those folks demand mega bucks.

2. -- Just made them up -- all except Meerm, which was a slurred form of Miriam...for reasons I hope are obvious after finishing the book.
3. -- a side effect of the gene manipulation
4. -- Fusosha has expressed no interest yet.
