You know, when I watched the film as a kid, I was always really amused by the idea that Zig-Zag was a really lousy sorceror ... if he'd have done anything that was actually any good, I would have been a little disappointed, I think. Go figure. Now, though, I'd kind of like to see it, just to see it.
I will never understand why the scene of Yum Yum breaking her shoes was cut... It's cute and funny and gives her a lot more personality than any of the cookie-cutter sort of charactization they tried to give her in the released version... and that great bit of the Thief, too. Gah.
I can't talk about this right now. Grr.
And, it isn't really relevant, but I borrowed my daddy's dvd copy of Murder on the Orient Express and had a look at the opening sequence. There isn't any 'cartoon' animation; it's a montage of newspaper clippings, essentially, but I've always liked it, and now I know why, I guess. There is an odd little drawing in it, though - - wonder who did that?
Anyway, I've sent off the Roy Naisbitt phone convo -- I hope it's alright, for a start. But I've started imprinting this british accent, and it's showing up in my speech a little bit, now, and...I need some sleep. But after that I'll listen to the Alex Williams convo... if that's too hard to hear, well, I'll be happy to make it up on doing something else, if anything's needed.
