There you go. It was in the Classic Edition threads.
Sorry I haven't been around - my phone and internet got disconnected. I am now on dialup temporarily. Full service to be resumed next week.
Macronencer sent me the HUGE scan of the Thief and the Cobbler Calvert poster - it's wonderful. The poster of course is ugly but the logo is crisp and clear and worthy of being used on many covers and things. I'll upload it when I can - again, I'm on dialup!
Mark Smith has sent in the "O" logo, with the Thief coming out of the O .... the original Williams studio logo for the film!
So we're good on logos.
I finally got in a new DVD burner after waiting 2 weeks. Orders will finally start being sent out again.
To save money I bought an internal modem this time -- but Mac G4s have a weird design which doesn't open up enough to allow a standard DVD burner's door to come out of the opening -- So I installed a DVD burner, but couldn't eject the drive! It was just trapped in there ....
I took a nail and popped off the front of the drive door - because the burner was trapped in there it didn't cause the drive to open, so nothing got damaged.
Now I've got a slimmer, weird looking but completely functional internal burner.
Completely off topic, a while back I starred in a pretty embarrassing pilot for MTV, which was then called Triple Threat - an American Idol type setup where various talented people are made to look like idiots as they have to sing, dance and act. Frightening stuff.
The show just aired. It's now called "MTV's Little Talent Show." It's been airing at 3pm and 6pm all this week. My episode was aired as episode 3 I believe .... originally the pilot. I think they're airing a new episode every day.
I haven't seen the show yet. I understand it's on Youtube, but I've been without internet. I'm looking for it, but I'm on dialup, so it's slow going!
I THINK this might be my episode, but I haven't tried to watch it yet. (EDIT - yep. I can see the first shot, and it's definitely me in a blue shirt. Christ I'm fat. Or XIF for short.)

Contestants Merrin Mae and Adam Ryan, who I quite liked and got along with, were both cut out of the episode entirely. Which is pretty bizarre. We were all onstage and backstage at the same time in a huge group for the entire show, so I can't even imagine what a mess they had to make of the edit to cut two people out of it.
My friends Jesse Maddox and Erik Anderson are on another episode (shot as the second episode, I recommended them for the parts) - I saw them in the trailer for the series. Jesse is wearing a red shirt, has dark hair, is thin. Erik is a little bit chunkier, blonde hair.

For more recognition purposes, you can see all three of us in the movie Ghostbusted 3 ...

I'm the unruly-haired Ghostbuster Seymour, Jesse is a guy who gets "killed" while singing the Ghostbusters theme, and then shows up later in a news report (as the guy who doesn't say much and has a bruise on his arm), which has Erik in it as the makeup man and "Real World Contestant."
I don't know when Jesse and Erik's episode aired, if it's aired yet. I suspect it might have aired before mine, so ANYONE READING THIS, PLEASE KEEP A LOOK OUT ON MTV.
The Little Talent Show, MTV, 3, 3:30 and 6PM.
I believe I'll be able to get a DVD copy of my episode .... a guy named Guillermo Gomez was watching, recognized me and got it on DVD-R .... very cool.
