additional highlights from dark crystal con:

* helena smee said the lamp Mira picks up was suprisingly heavy, but she does feel that it gave the motion more reality and groundedness, because Mira (Helena) reacts to the weight naturally

* kat smee and helena smee are sisters!

* kat smee said she was performing a musician podling during the skeksis dining scenes (in which helena was playing the collector), and it was an incredible sight because since all puppeteers were under the table, in real time no puppeteer could be seen, so she was looking down at the balcony at a bunch of skeksis feasting!  she said it was quite a sight

* helena smee talked about having fun puppeteering SkekLach The Collector because she is a more socially uninhibited skeksis and can make more fun movements

* kat smee said everyone was always excited for days they would puppeteer podlings, as these smaller puppets were easier on the body to puppeteer.  Dzenpo!!!

* brian meehl (dying mystic master 1982 OG) said he had to re-record the audio for the dying UrSu speech many times over many months because of the constant script re-writes.

* Steven Garlick (Jen) and Lisa Maxwell (Kira) spoke of three overall read-throughs that occurred while recording their voiceovers - 1, in their natural english accents, a 2nd, in affected American accents (they were both very young and at the start of their careers, so apparently the american accents weren’t the best), and 3rd, a take that was somewhere in-between - this last one was the take that was kept.  

* i mentioned to Tim Rose how much I like when SkekShod turns to tell SkekZok, “you should be emperor”, he turns, not the short way, which would have been away from the camera towards the SkekZok, but the long way, which is towards the camera towards the ritual master.  Tim Rose laughed and said “that would be because I couldn’t see where he was!!!”

these screenshots don’t do it justice - it’s a very funny dramatic turn.   possibly 270 degrees XD

* In a panel, when asked what additional stories he would like to tell in the Dark Crystal Universe, J M Lee said he would like to have a series about Tavra and Onica.   (here, here!)

* the costuming department worked in an odd space that had a disco ball.  eventually they figured out how to turn it on! (intel from the costuming panel)

* in a panel, Neil Sterenberg said he was very excited to say some of Rian’s speeches, because as a puppeteer mainly performing children’s cinema, he has never had an opportunity to say such dramatic speeches, and will never again have such an opportunity (his words), and it was great fun to plan how Rian was going to deliver those lines.

A Tumblr Community for The Bill...?

Is there any interest in creating a community for fans of The Bill to discuss and have more opportunities to interact/chat about the show almost like a forum from what it sounds like?

If you'd be interested, please like/comment/reblog this post to show your potential interest so we can all see if it would be worth attempting to create one or not.

Tumblr is beta testing a new 'community' idea [apparently not available to all as yet but should appear for most] that it says is:

Communities is a new feature in development, currently in beta testing. Our hope is to empower everyone on Tumblr to create new, dedicated spaces to connect with people over shared interests. It’s a bit like using tags but more contained, it’s a bit like having a shared blog but with more options, and it’s a bit like a group chat except it’s slower. Access to communities is not yet out to all users, and currently has incomplete support across the Tumblr mobile apps

Labs blog post

Help page post/more information

It's still in testing mode and they're asking for feedback. They state it can be a private group or more open access.

Public communities can be seen and visited by non-members, logged in or logged out. However, only the feed of posts in each community tab, and the About page, are accessible. Non-members cannot view the member list, see who reacted with what, or see community comments. Non-members with an invite can see everything a member can see, but cannot interact with anything until they accept the invitation.

Private communities cannot be seen or visited by non-members at all. The existence of a private community is not hidden, however, if someone has the URL (they’ll see a message like “this is a private community”). Non-members with an invite can see everything a member can see, but cannot interact with anything until they accept the invitation.

I wrote a tag list of every member of the cast including notable long running guests. It took FOREVER. And this is what Tumblr cuts it down to. FGS.

Title: The Last Magician

Author: Lisa Maxwell

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2017

Genres: fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, science fiction

Blurb: In modern-day New York, magic is all but extinct. The remaining few who have an affinity for magic - the Mageus - live in the shadows, hiding who they are. Any Mageus who enters Manhattan becomes trapped by the Brink, a dark energy barrier that confines them to the island. Crossing it means losing their power...and often their lives. Esta is a talented thief, and she’s been raised to steal magical artefacts from the sinister Order that created the Brink. With her innate ability to manipulate time, Esta can pilfer from the past, collecting these artefacts before the Order even realises she’s there. And all of Esta’s training has been for one final job: travelling back to 1902 to steal an ancient book containing the secrets of the Order - and the Brink - before the Magician can destroy it and doom the Mageus to a hopeless future. But Old New York is a dangerous world ruled by ruthless gangs and secret societies - a world where the very air crackles with magic. Nothing is as it seems, including the Magician himself...and for Esta to save her future, she may have to betray everyone in the past.

[beasanfi1997]

Star Wars and Dark Crystal are only the franchise that It made you cry because Anakin Skywalker dies in Return of Jedi while his family dies in sequel of Trilogy while in Dark Crystal, the Garthim killed the Gelflings and even SkekSil the Chamberlain killed Rian and Deet that Jen and Kira remain the only Gelflings in the movie.

The actors are very great that they play the characters from Star Wars(especially in Live Action) and Dark Crystal(especially Age of Resistance) than Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Stephen Garlick and Lisa Maxwell.

Emilia Clarke was the Bond between Dark Crystal and Star Wars that She reveals at the audience that Rian and Deet are Jen's parents while Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren are Foster Parents of Ben Solo and because Anakin takes care of Ezra in Bad Batch After Revenge of the Sith.

The actors of Game of Thrones, including Nathalie Emmanuel, Ralph Ineson, Natalie Dormer and Lena Headey, while they were celebrating the 15th anniversary of Game of Thrones books since 1996, were the Key to play Gelflings in the prequel of Dark Crystal because they are more melodramatic and more great and more Shakespearean than the movie Dark Crystal.

In the Mandalorian, we see Ezra Bridger(played by Mena Massoud) and Hera Syndulla(played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead the wife of Ewan McGregor) made a drama argue about the future of Ben Solo and so Star Wars including Prequel Trilogy, Clone Wars, Rebels, Solo a star wars Story and the Mandalorian especially Live Action are more Shakespearean than original Trilogy of Star Wars and because those actors are more great than Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher while Clone Wars and Rebels are few cartoonist even the voice actors

[theworldofthedarkcrystal]

highlights from the dark crystal con include:

* Elder Cadia has a facial tick inspired by the turtle-beak-like end to his mouth, to smack his lips.  You can catch him doing it in the powdered nulroot scene in episode 2 (thank you Olly Taylor for telling me this!)

* Lisa Maxwell, voice of Kira, actually developed Kira’s “talk with flowers”/”talk to the animals” language on her own!  Jim Henson had given her direction to make sounds “calling” to them, and invited her to ad lib.  She ended up drawing inspiration from her recent vacation to Spain!

* I met @timeagainreviews​!  yes, the creator of the SkekGra Pizza Parade video!!!!  <3 <3 <3 I was SO HAPPY and she is SO FUNNY.  a discussion of kermit cooking miss piggy Hannibal-style might have been discussed XD​

* hup is from an archaic, more formal culture of podlings that is more rare, which involves speaking in longer more formal sentences, referring to the recipient, etc.  basically he’s a glorious extinct knight podling (thank you J M Lee and Victor Yerrid for telling us this!)

* from the costume design panel - the gourmand’s codpiece was a squeaky toy

Smiffina Episodes - Episode 431

Smithy pretends not to recognise the be-suited Kezia as she arrives at work ahead of the pre-trial hearing for Keith Durante given the contrast it is to her more usual casual style.

He later has to take part in an audio id parade by reading a script for a adult chat phone line. In true broad Essex-ese - after demanding to know if it was a CID wind up - Smithy's not exactly a natural... unlike someone else...

Kezia doesn't get the result she wanted in court so Smithy takes invites her for a drink with the rest of the team to cheer up. Kezia says she won't be good company and Smithy teases her, saying she's got to stay out for a bit at least as he's still got lots of digs to get in about her suit. She charges out after seeing Matt and Emma together (Matt being the CPS lawyer prosecuting) and Smithy follows her.

He follows her to their prime suspects house and keeps trying to stop her from knocking on the door and blowing the case. Kezia won't be stopped, until Smithy pulls rank. She'd already knocked - and shouted for Durante - and Smithy steps in by saying they were just calling to check that he was ok after the case because they have experience of rape suspects being abused by neighbours after the trials. Durante doesn't believe it but he can't question it and he shuts the door on them.

(Proper!Smithy would have destroyed her for what she tried to do, ffs!)

The Shattered City - Lisa Maxwell (The Last Magician #4)

Once, Esta believed that she could change the fate of magic. She traveled to the past and stopped the Magician from destroying a mystical book that held the key to freeing her people from the Brink, an energy barrier that traps all Mageus who cross it. But the Book was more than she bargained for. So was the Magician she was tasked to steal it from. Hunted by an ancient evil, Esta and Harte have raced through time and across a continent to track down the powerful artifacts they need to bind the Book’s devastating power. They’ve lost family, betrayed friends, and done what they’d both vowed never to do: fallen in love with the one person who could truly destroy them. Now, with only one artifact left, their search has brought them back to New York, the city where it all began. But nothing in Manhattan is as they left it. Their friends have scattered, their enemies have grown more powerful, and as the deadly Brink beckons, their time is running out. If they can’t find a way to end the threat they’ve created, then the very heart of magic will die—and it will take the world down with it.

Hi anon!

#44 is The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell which is a four book series so far. It looks like I've had this on my tbr since June of 2019.

I think I just heard about his book from mutuals and friends on Goodreads. The first book seems to have been moderately popular, and I'm still interested enough by the premise

Out of curiosity, when you listen to the Narrator Kira clip, will you be uploading it anywhere?

I haven’t listened to it yet (cuz I don’t know what type of computer to plug it into) but I’m not sure if I’ll be uploading it when I do.

I would love to, don’t get me wrong, I’m not the gatekeeping type, I just kinda feel like it’s not really allowed? I know that’s probably a stupid-ass assumption but like I said there were only 50 of these USB chips being sold, and I got mine for free for reasons I still don’t understand but Lisa Maxwell was a fucking angel and I guess I did or said something right but anyway

Point being it’s obviously what can be considered a rare recording and maybe they want people to kind of keep it to themselves? I don’t know, people weren’t even allowed to film a lot at the con besides the official camera crew but I don’t know. I’m anxious and I don’t want to get in trouble.

If there’s anyone who can confirm to me if it’s allowed then I will consider trying to share it!
