Martha Soukup: Please welcome Neil Gaiman to Head Space. Neil's written about a zillion things, and the most recent one out was the BBC six-part miniseries "Neverwhere" to be published in the States as a novel next year.
Neil Gaiman: Let's see. "Neverwhere" question first, I suppose.
TaNgLeFoOt: Neil, will there be a 2nd TV series of "Neverwhere?"
Martha Soukup: So Neil, how much are you going to rewrite "Neverwhere" for tender American eyes?
Satan Barf: Hey Neil, what do you consider to be your greatest work?
Neil Gaiman: It's been braodcast in the UK. Or at least, the first storyline (6 episodes) has been. The UK version of the novel has been released in the UK.
Angus MacDonald: Kreighbaum! Hi!
Satan Barf: Any plans for it in the US?
Neil Gaiman: Also the series is out in the UK on video, with an extra 20 minute interview with me on it.
Post-mortem: Does the BBC cast consist of any names we might recognize?
Satan Barf: Has it been a success?
Neil Gaiman: I don't know if anyone has bought it for the US yet.
Martha Soukup: I know your American publisher wants you to take out some of the British-isms and a lot of the humor. How's that going?
Neil Gaiman: The novel will be coming out in the US in June from Avon, as a mass-market, mainstream hardback book.
Satan Barf: Is it being sold to US syndication?
Bloogirl: Not yet, still working on it, but I got the Internet ordering address. What? Taking out the Britishisms? A travesty.
Post-mortem: Dah. It's not being published by DreamHaven?
Neil Gaiman: I've just been doing the American rewrite. We had some arguments. I gave in on "The Angel."
Bloogirl: Damn.
Martha Soukup: Keep arguing. My opinion.
Angus MacDonald: Was "The Angel" too British, or too funny?
Satan Barf: What stuff do you read in your freetime, Neil? A Clive Barker fan?
Neil Gaiman: Singing Irving Berlin, but won all the Croup & Vandemar rat-eating bits.
Wavetrader: Lots of good work has been done in dialect.
Neil Gaiman: What do I read in my free time? (plaintive wail of what free time?) Um...
Martha Soukup: Well, I'm sorry about the Irving Berlin. Of the entire script when I first read it, that was the one bit that creeped me out the very most.
Bloogirl: What's new in the works, Neil?
Toastmeister: You would think with the history of the Pythons, Benny Hill, Avon would realize that British vernacular IS understood.
Martha Soukup: But good about the rat eating.
Neil Gaiman: Mainly weird old factual stuff, these days.
Angus MacDonald: Irving Berlin does that to people. Hoagy Carmichael, too.
Martha Soukup: Do you still read at the dinner table?
Satan Barf: Seen any good movies lately?
Neil Gaiman: The current tour. If I do the "DEATH" film for Warner she says she wants to do the soundtrack.
ThePuck: I've heard you weren't completely satisfied with the way the "Neverwhere" BBC production turned out. What would you have done to make it better?
Martha Soukup: And how are the "Death" film negotiations going? (And what about short films?)
Neil Gaiman: Puck, I suppose. It's not one simple thing. I suppose what I wanted was more control. More money would have been nice too. The BBC have said that if they do another series, we can do it on film, with a bigger budget, and with 50 minute episodes. Of course, they haven't said they want to do it.
Bloogirl: What happened to the "Sandman" movie?
Kreighbaum: Neil, when you catch up on all these questions, how are the sales of the anthology?
Angus MacDonald: By "Death" do we mean the "Sandman" character?
Martha Soukup: Mark, Neil is not going to catch up on all these questions. He writes fantasy, he doesn't live it. Do you have the story for a "Neverwhere" sequel in mind already?
Kreighbaum: Neil would've beaten Zeno and had his tortoise for brunch.
Neil Gaiman: Yes, by "Death" we mean the "Sandman" character.
Basticho: Have you ever considered a cartoon adaptation of the "Sandman," ala Batman, through DC?
Centauri: What about a Sandman movie?
Post-mortem: What's this I hear about "Snow, Glass, Apples" being a short film?
Neil Gaiman: Yes, Martha. If I do a second "Neverwhere" series it would be called The Seven Sisters, and be about a strange family, played by lots of grande dames of the British theatre.
Satan Barf: What is your view on the current comics scene, Neil?
Martha Soukup: Would Richard Mayhew still be the hapless protagonist, Neil?
Neil Gaiman: "Sandman" movie. Well, there is a script, and a director (Roger Avary) attached.
Angus MacDonald: To me, the "Sandman" visuals seem too rich to be adapted reasonably to normal commercial animation.
Neil Gaiman: I wish them well, although I'm not involved (by my own wish.) No-one should be expected to barbecue their own baby.
Tristero: Will the "Sandman" movie cast Morpheus as a butt-kicking superhero character saving the world from Dr. Destiny?
Satan Barf: I used to be a huge comic fan but now the only comics I read regularly are "Cerebus" and one or too other ones.
Neil Gaiman: The "Death" film would be based solidly on THE HIGH COST OF LIVING, which is short enough to be a film. And I'd write & direct it.
Basticho: Neil, what comics do you read?
Neil Gaiman: Comics I read? Lessee. "FROM HELL," "JIM," "CEREBUS," the stuff the Hernandez's do...
Satan Barf: "From Hell" is cool.
Neil Gaiman: "BACCHUS," the Scott McCloud "SUPERMAN" book, "PREACHER," and other stuff.
Satan Barf: So is "Cerebus (although the current issues are just cruising along).
Post-mortem: Are you pleased with the directions that Books Of Magic has been written?
Martha Soukup: Neil, is there other film stuff in the offing you're prepared to talk about?
Rengarr: I just jumped in. What's the word on a "Death" film? Please don't make it in America.
Post-mortem: Tell us a bit about the "Snow, Glass, Apples" film, if you would.
Angus MacDonald: Why Wisconsin?
Martha Soukup: Are you going to do any short film work?
Neil Gaiman: I've also promised Franck McConnel I'll do a talk next year at UCLA santa Barbara - he's teaching "MR PUNCH."
Angus MacDonald: Is the comics distribution situation in the UK mostly similar to or mostly different from that in North America?
Martha Soukup: If I lived in Santa Barbara, I'd audit that "Mr Punch" class. It's a fine work.
Kreighbaum: Neil, anything new on the "SANDMAN" anthology? I mean, reviews and such?
Neil Gaiman: "Snow, Glass, Apples?" I've written a script, for a very expensive 40-minute film, and have given it to all the producers who tell me they want to work with me, and I've said that the first one to come back with the money to make it can do it. Survival of the fittest. Or possibly the fastest.
Martha Soukup: That sounds like a good plan for the SGA film. And the producer who gives you plenty of creative control, I hope?
Geebee: So it's the writers that drive up the cost of movie productions?
Neil Gaiman: Mark, I've only seen a few reviews. Good one in SFX which said there was not a bad story in there. It's a very good seller (done over 30,000 in the US.)
Ticktock23: What kinds of things do you see yourself writing about ten or twenty years down the line? Or will you still be writing?
Martha Soukup: That's excellent sales for a hardcover short-story anthology. Sigh.
Neil Gaiman: The next Endless book I'd like to do is "DELIRIUM," with Jill Thompson. Although I want to add a few pages to "DEATH:THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE" before it's collected. I wasn't very pleased with how it turned out.
Angus MacDonald: Martha, that may be because of the placement in comics stores. And the quality, of course.
Kreighbaum: Neil, good to hear. Thanks. Hope you got my notes, btw?
Neil Gaiman: Another question?
Bloogirl: What's up with "Stardust?" Can't wait for faerie tales.
Tristero: Will "DELERIUM" cover Delight's transformation into Delerium, or later events?
Basticho: Any original comics/books in the works,. Neil?
Neil Gaiman: "Stardust" is a bit over 1/4 written and a bit under 1/4 drawn.
Kreighbaum: Which reminds me, what poetry are you reading these days?
Neil Gaiman: It's very lovely (art wise, anyway). I'm writing it in fountain pen, in order to make sure it feels old. And in an odd way, it's working.
Martha Soukup: Charles Vess is doing the art for Stardust. What kind of art? Inks, watercolors?
Neil Gaiman: Writing habits are very different if you know that this is not ever going on screen in this form.
Neil Gaiman: Only trouble is no-one can read my writing, so if I die before typing it no-one will ever know how it ends.
The Runemaster: Mr Gaiman, you do a couple titles for Big (formerly Tekno) Comics don't you?
Albert 005: Mr. Gaiman, do you know if the Sandman movie is still in the works?
Martha Soukup: Or if you type it and knock another computer off the desktop without backing up the hard drive.
Kreighbaum: Which is, essentially, a very Gaiman-esque denouement.
Toastmeister: Interesting technique, writing with the fountain pen. A "psychological trigger" type of feel to it, correct?
Neil Gaiman: Charles Vess is basically doing watercolours, although some pen and ink sketches will be in there, and some pencil drawings as well.
Mr Punch: What do you think of going back to "Miracleman?"
Martha Soukup: Joe Haldeman often writes with fountain pen too, for a very different writer.
Neil Gaiman: I don't know how easy it would be to go back to "Miracleman." I would like to see "MM 25 published" (finished 3 years ago, but never published by Eclipse).
Satan Barf: What kind of music do you like Neil? Dream Theater?
Post-mortem: Do you like the direction that the writing of Books of Magic has taken? I only saw one episode. I suppose that's what's not to like.
Rameau: When is "Stardust" coming out?
Neil Gaiman: Stardust is coming out in the latter half of 97.
Martha Soukup: I keep meaning to ask questions, but there are so many without me.
Rameau: How do you feel about the Dreaming comic?
Bloogirl: Neil, what do you do when you are very sad?
Basticho: Maybe we need two Neils to keep up with the questions.
Wavetrader: How many projects do you typically work on at any one time?
Neil Gaiman: Music? Let's see. I like Lou Reed, John Cale, Brian Eno, Elvis Costello, early sixties girl groups, Conlan Nancarrow, Stephen Sondheim.
Angus MacDonald: You get used to it, Mark.
Rameau: Do you like Godzilla?
Neil Gaiman: Kate Bush, Michael Nyman. I dunno. Lots of stuff.
Bloogirl: Any news on Tori?
Mr Punch: How do you feel about Alan Moore's current image work.
Neil Gaiman: Typically, I'm working on three or four things at once. It means it's hard to get blocked on everything.
Bloogirl: Oh, talk about the book "What I thought I saw." Or some title like that.
Grahulk: Mr Gaiman, what do you think about the current state of comics in general?
Martha Soukup: It means you're compulsive. But that's okay.
Rameau: Which is your favorite of George Romero's "Dead" trilogy?
Neil Gaiman: I hear from Alan he's happy with his Supreme work, and I'm looking forward to seeing it. It's the first thing he's done at Image (except for 1963) that he's suggested I read.
Bloogirl: Neil, what do you do when you are very sad?
Kreighbaum: Angus, I hadn't figured you for the callous sort. Shall we not weep for the dust before us?
Martha Soukup: Are you working on anything with Dave McKean now? (And tell us about the kids' book a little, and when it's coming out.)
Neil Gaiman: "What I Thought I Saw" is a great book of black and white photos by a marvellous.
Neurosplice: Neil, were you asked to change your work on "Neverwhere" in order for the TV version to be made?
Neil Gaiman: Photographer named Kelli Bickman. Many of which were taken backstage onto the set of Neverwhere.
Bloogirl: Neil, does Tori call you when she is sad or happy?
Walterjon: Would "What I Thought I Saw" be available in the States?
Centauri: Is "Neverwhere" going to be released on video?
Neil Gaiman: Dave McKEan is currently painting our book "THE DAY I SWAPPED MY DAD FOR TWO GOLDFISH" -it's meant to be coming out from White Wolf in the Spring of 97. It's our first kids book.
Martha Soukup: That one's been a while coming out.
Angus MacDonald: Sounds good. Would my nephew & niece like it?
Kreighbaum: A kidzbook, Neil? Hey, great!
Toastmeister: Is it White Wolf's first kids book?
Neil Gaiman: Neverwhere is out on video in the UK. In order to get it in the US you'll need to find someone who can send it to the US, and somewhere to translate it from PAL to NTSC.
Martha Soukup: The manuscript's great fun.
Rameau: I heard you do a reading of it this summer and I loved it.
Basticho: Sure it's not a kiddie book published by Black Dog?
Ticktock23: Neil, have you read any Barry Yourgrau? If so, do you care for that style of writing?
Neil Gaiman: It is White Wolf's first kid's book, yes. I love doing it at readings -it turns a room of adults into six year olds.
Angus MacDonald: Basticho, that a WhiteFang/BlackTooth allusion?
Tristero: Is that the same White Wolf who publish "Vampire: The Masquerade"?
Bloogirl: I heard you read it at San Francisco last year.
ThePuck: Tristero, yes.
Mr Punch: What exactly happened to Malcolm Jones?
Toastmeister: Angus, don't get all SOUPY on us now.
Basticho: Angus, naw. White Wolf's alter ego company, Black Dog publishes adults only material. Mostly the stuff that White Wolf couldn't publish without censoring.
Angus MacDonald: 'A room of adults into six year olds' -cupcakes are good for that, too.
Neil Gaiman: Thank you, Bloogirl. It was a couple of days ago. Everyone gave me black sweaters. Well, almost everyone. Malcolm died.
Martha Soukup: I didn't give you a black sweater. Unless something very strange happened.
Rameau: In Brief Lives when Delirium makes all the frogs is that in any way a reference to the plague of frogs on Egypt when Pharoah wouldn't let the children of Israel go?
Bloogirl: My sister's birthday is tomorrow, exactly 3 days after yours, I am soooo jealous (same year and everything).
Martha Soukup: I won't give you a black sweater for Christmas, either.
Wavetrader: A Gaiman/Steadman collaboration would turn 6 year olds into adults.
Walshmr: It's the Kerouac Touch. Everything becomes black sweaters!
Kreighbaum: I gave you a black poem, assuming your publisher forwards it.
Neil Gaiman: Not really. It was more a subconscious memory of a character in Howard Cruise's "BAREFOOTZ," who lived under the bed and made frogs when she was angry, I think. I could be wrong, though.
Angus MacDonald: It's that elite Spinning & Knitting department of the USPS, Martha.
Martha Soukup: Actually, the frog-making reminded me of the great old Barefootz comic, Glory under the bed.
Martha Soukup: Crosspost. Hah.
Kreighbaum: Nice girls always do.
Post-mortem: Have you kept up with Books Of Magic since it became a regular vertigo comic?
Bloogirl: Any advice for a girl who's been hanging with delirium too long?
Mr Punch: Speaking of frogs have you read "Coventry."
Neil Gaiman: I've been reading "BOOKS OF MAGIC," yes. I'm a consultant, although what that means is just that.
Albert 005: What do you do on your spare time Neil? Assuming you have some time to spare.
Martha Soukup: Hah.
Post-mortem: So you have some input on its direction?
Neil Gaiman: I get to read it 2 months before anyone else, and fix any bad Tim Americanisms.
Rameau: Has "The White Road" appeared anywhere else besides "Warning: Contains Language"?
Neil Gaiman: No, I don't really have any input on its direction. I get to say things like... "I think some short stories might be a good idea, John' but it's his book."
Bloogirl: Any advice for a blue girl who's spent too much time with delirium?
Neil Gaiman: "THE WHITE ROAD" is in this year's "YEARS BEST FANTASY AND HORROR" -the Datlow Windling collection.
Basticho: it needs a Tim the Enchanter cameo.
Martha Soukup: That was a nice thing about Sandman. All the contained stories, some of them an issue long, not everything driving the same direction all the time.
Bloogirl: I couldn't believe it wasn't in the A&V book.
Martha Soukup: What new short stories should we be looking for?
Neil Gaiman: It was written after "Angels and Visitations." That was why I'm about to let "Angels and Visitations" go out of print. This edition (the 4th) will be its last, because I felt its time was up. Avon will do a short story collection in 98.
Martha Soukup: Is "The Woman Who Kissed the Goldfish" out yet?
Angus MacDonald: Again with the goldfish?
Martha Soukup: "The Day I Swapped My Dad for a Kiss with the Goldfish."
Bloogirl: I read your stories to friends all the time, boyfriends aren't too sure what to make of my selections.
Rengarr: Missed all the info on your films what going on?
Neil Gaiman: It's called "THE GOLDFISH POOL AND OTHER STORIES," Martha, and I believe it is in the shops currently, yes. It's in a David Copperfield (yes, that one) edited anthology, the title of which escapes me.
Martha Soukup: Whoops, am I remembering an old title?
Mr Punch: Have you read Dave Sim's interview with you in Cerebus (it didn't sound flattering.)
Tristero: A Sandman question. Is Daniel (who becomes Dream) connected to Daniel Bustamonte, from "Sleep of the Just?"
Neil Gaiman: Rengarr, I'm writing a MODESTY BLAISE film; I am meant to write and direct a "DEATH: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING" film, and also a film based on H G WELLS' "THE MAGIC SHOP." We'll see.
Rengarr: Can't wait.
Martha Soukup: That's a lot of filmic stuff. Will you move to Hollywood?
Rameau: Do any of the stories you write give you nightmares? I used to listen to the reading of "The White Road" at night and it would always give me nightmares.
Albert 005: IF there was a "Death:THCOL" film, who would play Death?
Martha Soukup: More seriously, how about stage writing? There aren't many other kinds you aren't already known for doing.
Post-mortem: An unknown I hope.
Angus MacDonald: Or reversing that, do your nightmares ever give you stories?
Martha Soukup: Stories are meant to give other people nightmares.
Neil Gaiman: Mr Punch, it wasn't an interview. It was Dave's rather idiosyncratic retelling of a phone conversation we'd had some days before. He offered me space to footnote it, or kill it, or whatever, and I meant to footnote the bits I disagreed with, but I had stuff to do, so I never did. I'm talking with a Broadway director about writing the musical I've always wanted to do. But don't look for it before 1999. If there were a "DEATH" film, I'd want to audition people to find the best Death.
Martha Soukup: Book, book and lyrics, or book, lyrics and music?
Bloogirl: Neil, I used to read "Sandman" when I needed to escape my depression, any suggestions now?
Angus MacDonald: I see Lisa Kudrow.
Wavetrader: Rows of wierd characters tap dancing sounds interesting.
Basticho: Wouldn't it be ironic if someone died in the filming of the movie "Death?"
Neil Gaiman: Book and lyrics is the plan.
Mr Punch: Any chance of doing anything with JJ Muth?
Martha Soukup: Thoughts for the composer?
Neil Gaiman: I'd love to work with J Muth some more. We'll see.
Rengarr: Thanks for Mr. Punch it bought back alot of childhood memories.
Neil Gaiman: Martha, no thoughts about composers, no. My pleasure. I think "Mr Punch" is still my favourite of my books.
Mr Punch: Mine too.
Chuke: Idle food.
Post-mortem: Gave me creepy dreams. Always a plus.
Martha Soukup: Mr Punch is hard to beat. It's a wonderful collaboration.
Bloogirl: I loved "Mr Punch" -so thrilled that it had a mermaid of sorts! Do you like mermaids (i've noticed a few.)
Post-mortem: Particularly the image of the dropped baby.
Martha Soukup: Speaking of McKean collaborations, how did the BBC radio adaptation of "Signal to Noise" go?
Neil Gaiman: Bloogirl, yes I'm very fond of mermaids.
Bloogirl: I love you! I love you! I love you!
Rameau: Have you ever met one?
Rengarr: Would love to e-mail some images that you are help me create, (photos).
Neil Gaiman: The BBC "SIGNAL TO NOISE" was great. Dave did the music for it, the acting was wonderful.
Bloogirl: I am one, always have been. I just knew it since I was little.
Martha Soukup: Did the BBC release a commercial audiotape of it?
Post-mortem: I don't suppose there's any way to get one's hands on recordings of that.
Mr Punch: Dave's a kind of god isn't he?
Bloogirl: Being a mermaid isn't too great for my love life, however.
Martha Soukup: The question is, what kind of god is Dave.
Rameau: I am a merman.
Neil Gaiman: The direction was spot on, and I had the fun of acting in BBC Braodcasting House's oldest studio, and then didn't have the embarassment of being in the braodcast (I played Dave, and later we cut him in, so he played himself.)
Post-mortem: The mortal kind.
Walterjon: I am the walrus.
Angus MacDonald: Each to each. Oh well.
Martha Soukup: I think you would have been fine, Neil. I've heard you read your own words often enough to know.
Neil Gaiman: No, there's been no commercial version of it released. I hope they do release it on tape or CD -it's a remarkable piece of work.
Angus MacDonald: Liar. The walrus was Paul.
Martha Soukup: CD would be nice.
Toastmeister: I would like to hear it, I hope they do release it.
Walterjon: Damn. Found out again!
Post-mortem: Agreed, Martha.
Neurosplice: Neil, do you have any kind of connection to Portsmouth (as a reference from violent cases), I live here (Portsmouth) myself.
Albert 005: Hey Neil, are you using your shades right now?
Rameau: I heard there was going to be a CD rom for Mr. Punch. Is that true?
Post-mortem: Are you still publishing any of your new stuff with DreamHaven?
Bloogirl: How is your family?
Angus MacDonald: Bet he's wearing one of those sweaters, too.
Mr Punch: Have you read SR Bissette's "Tyrant" yet?
Albert 005: And that jacket.
Neil Gaiman: I was born in Portchester, and lived in Portsmouth until I was about 5, and still have relatives there.
Bloogirl: Why do you live in America?
Neil Gaiman: The CD ROM for "MR PUNCH" is being worked on by Dave McKean and Artemis. I've seen some of it, and it is quite stunning and very, very strange.
Martha Soukup: One more reason to get a CD-ROM player.
Bloogirl: I looooove Dave's music on "Warning."
Neil Gaiman: "TYRANT" is terrific. I just wish it came out more frequently.
Angus MacDonald: Bonehead ignorance here, but which coast is Portsmouth on?
Martha Soukup: Bottom.
Neil Gaiman: Portsmouth is on the south coast. Of England.
Martha Soukup: Playing railroad games is the only thing that's ever taught me geography.
Neurosplice: Portsmouth is also a complete mess.
Martha Soukup: You get rubber from Portsmouth, I learned that too.
Toastmeister: Martha, I "heard" that "Bottom" in John Cleese's voice! ROTFL!
Martha Soukup: Toastie, I do great impressions -in chat.
Mr Punch: Have you ever read any P.G.Wodehouse?
Neil Gaiman: I've read a lot of PG Wodehouse, although my wife is the serious Wodehouse collecter.
Bloogirl: How is your family?
Grahulk: How did you get involved in doing "The Last Temptation" with A. Cooper for Marvel?
Angus MacDonald: That's right, it's all coming back -the latex orchards of the Channel coast.
Bloogirl: What do the kids think of your work?
Mr Punch: Neil, so is mine.
Rameau: Were you really in a punk band?
Martha Soukup: With about five minutes left, let me remind folks that next Tuesday's Head Space guest will be the amazing Walter Jon Williams, novelist.
Walterjon: (Takes a bow)
Martha Soukup: Yeah, that guy.
Angus MacDonald: Williams is one of the most important of the 'post- cyberpunk' sci-fi writers.
Neil Gaiman: I got a phone call from Epic records telling me that Alice was a fan and wanted to work with me on a concept for an album. That album was "The Last Temptation." Then Marvel licensed the rights to the comic. They've proved unethical, or at best, disorganised, to the point that I could never imagine working with them again.
Tristero: I was thinking of trying to do a roleplaying scenario based on "London Below." Is anyone else working on anything like this?
Basticho: What a tie in.
Bloogirl: Neil, what do YOU want to talk about?
Mr Punch: What is your opinion of current "alternative comics"?
Neil Gaiman: Tristero, as long as it's for fun, go with it.
Grahulk: Sorry to hear about that, Neil.
Rameau: Neil, what is your favorite movie?
Neil Gaiman: Bloogirl, I don't mind.
Toastmeister: Neil, before time is up, thank you for taking the time to do this. Are there any NYC or NJ apperances scheduled?
Martha Soukup: I asked before but it got lost. If there's a "Neverwhere" sequel about the Seven Sisters, will it also star the Richard Mayhew character?
Neil Gaiman: Favourite Movie is probably "ALL THAT JAZZ." Favourite TV series is a STUNNING Danish TV series called "THE KINGDOM" -it's like E.R. written by top-form Stephen King, and directed by top-form David Lynch. Really good.
Dave Copeland: Neil, thanks for coming. We love you in Portland, Oregon!
Martha Soukup: You know, Neil, I never knew you liked "All That Jazz" too. It was my first favorite movie.
Neil Gaiman: Martha, Richard and the Marquis would definitely be in it. Everyone else is probably up for grabs.
ThePuck: Yes, thanks very much Neil, and happy belated birthday.
Tristero: Do you have any plans for Door's quest to unite "London Below?"
Martha Soukup: And "The Kingdom" is just fabulous. I can't imagine watching it in snatches on video after seeing it all together in a movie theater, though!
Rengarr: If you liked "All that Jazz" did you like 8 1/2.
Post-mortem: You LIKE "The Kingdom." I must be missing something. What I saw of it made my teeth itch.
Bloogirl: I love your work, it helps me when I am hanging with delirium -you and Tori both.
Neil Gaiman: That will be part of it, as will Door's quest for her sister. And the story of how the Marquis got his coat back.
Martha Soukup: It's funny, it's creepy, and it has the single most audacious television ending of all time -what's not to like about "The Kingdom"?
Toastmeister: And Martha, thank YOU for hosting this.
Rameau: Your work does kick some major ass.
Neil Gaiman: And that's an hour, and my typing fingers are exhausted. Thanks for being so hospitable.
