Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Oh, Tad wrote me a poem!!

Well, probably more appropriate to say he wrote a poem about me, but still, that's cool!

It is now 2:39 in Richmond.

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Hi, all.

*hands Marian extra tissues*

I've been through the same thing, Marian, and it is scary, but you'll be fine. Things will work out. Trust me, I know these things...

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Hey, Marian:

I'm sorry I missed offering you a shoulder to cry on at this time of transition you face...

But then again, I probably would have stood you up, lightly slapped your face a couple of times and said, "Hey, babe, get over it!  Life happens!  Move on!  Look to the future!"

But then I would have handed you a nice bowl of skittles and some flowers....

Hey Nolan, I read on www.aintitcoolnews.com  that they (Warner Bros.) won't confirm this and in fact lied in a press release where they stated that principal photography hadn't even started, when they have pics in San Francisco of them doing some filming.  Weird, huh??  Who knows what to believe.  All I know is that "The Fellowship of the Ring" is coming out this winter and I can't wait!! :0)

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

That movie will be one of the most anticipated movie arrivals in a long time!

And you've got a Bucakroo Banzaii quote!  I LOVED Buckaroo Banzaii, the movie!  Now that's a sequel that really should have been made.

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Just going 8pm now, Marian.
Happily (?) the main action in the Mint is at about 5am-6am - and there's no way I'm waiting up till then...

Why would Warner lie about the release of the sequel's photography?

You're right, Nolan, I know.... I'm still going to miss people, though. Can't be helped.

Go on to bed, Bet. As Shads said to me last night, "We'll still be here tomorrow."

Get some sleep, love.

They didn't lie about it's release.  They said that they weren't filming yet, AT ALL!!!  When tons of sites have pictures of them filming in San Fran.  I don't know it could all be rumour, check it out on www.aintitcoolnews.com   they're usually good about these kind of things but sometimes they're wrong. :(

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

It's true.  You never do get the same kind of contact and comaradarie with those folks even if you do see them after you leave.

Change is hard. Always!  Even good change.  I remember reading a list somewhere about the most stressful things in your life.

Among the top ones were things like:
The death of family or friends,
Illness in a family,
Large debt,
Moving out of town, and obviously:
Changing jobs.

I do send you best wishes and sympathy!

Re: Quiller's Mint -- The Unstocked Larder

Fiddle. That was badly worded. "release of the sequel's photography" indeed.
I was just under the impression they started filming ages ago.
