RJ SFX Interview
I Blandford
Right then, this is my first mailing so God have mercy on my soul if I
write something offensive, stupid, boring or grammatically incorrect...
Anyway, a British SF magazine (SFX) had an interview with RJ a few months
back, circa Feb or Mar I think. In the interview he said a few things
which I haven't read in the FAQ or the newsgroup:
Firstly, in the event of his death his will states that his notes on TWoT
are to be destroyed and no-one is to complete the series for him.
Secondly, The Final Battle (Tarmon Gai-don or however it's spelled) has
already started but only now (book 7) are the characters beginning to
realise this.
Thirdly, in defeating the DO, the good guys can expect absolutely no help
off the creator, and no miracles will occur.
So when did the Final Battle begin then, book 1 chp1 or later, or earlier?

I hope Murphy's Law does not explode onto the scene with any force. Oops I
think I just invited it in. Does Murphy's Law function like a vampire? Not
attacking until invited in?

I would think that this is all a matter of definition. If Tarmon Gaidon
is simply the Dark One's struggle to break free then sure it has begun. If
perhaps the Dark One has conquered the Seanchan, the perhaps it cal be more
literal. My personal conception of Tarmon Gaidon is the moment Rand
approaches Shayol-Ghul (not in Tel aran'rhiod) Tarmon Gaidon has begun.
: Thirdly, in defeating the DO, the good guys can expect absolutely no help
: off the creator, and no miracles will occur.
With Mat's Luck, Perin's Wolves, and Rand's Badassedness (this word is
copyrighted by Hudson of Aliens) they won't need the Creator.
: So when did the Final Battle begin then, book 1 chp1 or later, or earlier?
By my definition not yet. By Jordan's probably the moment Rand used
saiden and began to be tainted. The majority of Tarmon Gaidon will
probably be fought out in Rand's own mind. The moment Rand turns the
battle will be over.

No need to worry about flames; your post is informative and well
written.

This strikes me as inordinately selfish on Jordan's part. Not so much
because I want to see someone else complete the series, but because the
notes would be of great interest in of themselves. Might be cool to put
them together in a book.
>Secondly, The Final Battle (Tarmon Gai-don or however it's spelled)

Interesting. The Final Battle, then, must be something of a misnomer:
not so much a battle as a campaign or series of events occurring in a
relatively small space of time. Which will include many battles within
it.
>Thirdly, in defeating the DO, the good guys can expect absolutely no
>help off the creator, and no miracles will occur.
Shucks, I'd already figured that one out. He did (or the Wheel did)
arrange to have Rand and a whole bunch of other important and useful
folks be around for Tarmon Gaidon. Presumably, that's good enough.

The War against the Shadow has no Final or Beginning Battle. ;)
Seriously, even if the Good Guys win, the DO will be around to pester
future ages and try to worm his way out of the bore; I truly doubt he
can be destroyed in his entirety without taking the whole universe
along with him.

Not the six-hour version, though I'm not sure whether that's
good or bad. I believe it it's been cut to around 201 minutes,
IIRC.

I heard the hard drive would be formatted 4 times in sucession. You'd
think that someone else wouldn't finish the series, but that his notes
and stuff would be released. Maybe he's bluffing.

Well, that's if you assume by "battle" RJ means a bunch of people with
weapons beating on each other. Battle could also mean, say, Rand
fighting to keep his sanity. Is that really Lews Therin in his head?
Or is it the DO battling Rand for his sanity? If Rand can hold it
together in some final concerted attack on his mind, is THAT the last
battle? If you think about it, the last Last Battle was essentially
that. Lews Therin finally lost when he was driven crazy and killed his
family.
I'm not saying that's what's going on, but I think that we need to be
open to the fact that RJ might not mean the type of battle that he's
leading us to believe he means.

Can someone tell me just how this movie is being promoted? At the
theater this weekend, fully a third of the people who bought tickets
were somewhere over 60 [1]. From what I understand of the plot,
that's not a demographic group that I'd expect to see it.

I'm going to see this sometime this week, and I'm glad to hear good
recommendations (as I've heard mixed from some other people.) I
really want to like this one...
[1] I have a part-time job at a movie theater, in case anyone cares

I strongly disagree. Part of the fun of the series (and a lot of other
books, including non SF&F) is the large number of things that are
unclear, just hinted at or profecied. Reading RJ's notes would make a
lot of these things clear, but it would also show which parts of the
background were not well worked out. It is like looking so closely to a
maquette that you can see the lumps of glue, the paint, the pieces that
just didn't fit and the crude details. It makes the overall picture
less.
I don't know if you have read the large number of books published by
Chrisopher Tolkien about his father's books. It is in fact a stack of
unfinished things, vague notes and a lot of previous versions of
especially TLotR. I read some of it, and found it interesting at first,
but *hated* it when I afterwards read TLotR again. Since I knew part of
the drafts, a lot of the glamour of the published version had been lost.
I knew how thin and inconsistent the layer of mythology and legend
behind the main story was, and I knew which previous scenes existed in
the main story that were later discarded.
I think that we, as readers, should enjoy the books as they are, and
not fret about the stack of extra information in RJ's notes. I hope they
get burned after the series is finished.

God, that was an amusing movie. Add to the recommendation
hilarious supporing roles in Cusack's secretary as well
as his therapist.

Grosse Point Blank was fantastic, I haven't seen a better staged scene
than Martin pouring the scotch on his fathers grave in years.
Just saw 8 heads* tonite, it was ok, but still better than Double Team,
but then again, oral surgery is better than Double team, so that isn't
any kind of reccomendation.

I have read most of the Christopher Tolkien books, and I loved them and felt
that they enriched the LotR series for me. I think that I would feel similar
regarding tWoT. While I think that you have valid feelings about this type of
"historical" information about fantasy worlds, your opinions do not agree with
mine, and you would be reducing my enjoyment of the series by denying me the
opportunity to read the background info (assuming that it would be released).
I hope that the notes ARE published after the series is finished, but I would
recommend that you not read the notes if you feel that will comprimise the
story for you. I will read them as soon as (not to mention IF !!) they are
published.

Fun job when you include the perks, but the pay sucks. I did enjoy the
flexible scheduling, though.
>>Damn, I wanna work at a movie theater.
>Only if you get to sell tickets. Trust me.
No, no, no. The jobs, in order of preference, are projectionist,
usher, ticket sales then food sales. Being projectionist is great because
you don't have much to do and you don't have to deal with the annoying
customers. Ushering is good because you get to move around and don't deal
with too many customers. Selling tickets is a pale imitation of being
projectionist becasue you at least get to avoid your coworkers. Working
the concession stand has absolutely no redeeming values and should be
avoided at all cost.
I will say that these descriptions are only for the current multiplex
theaters. Small theaters can be different because the work is distributed
differently. Also, the physical features of the theater make a
difference. Some ticket sales use a closed box while others use just a
separate counter. Some projection booths are split into pieces while
others are all one piece. Finally, the ownership matters because there
are different policies for hoe certain jobs, especially ushering, are
performed.

That's the feeling I get, everyone in the books assumes the Last Battle is
going to occur with an army attacking Shayol Ghul. I have a suspicion that
the Way of the Leaf and the Song will play a part. Perrin looks set to
converting. (Choosing the hammer instead of the axe?).
As for the prophecy of the Horn being tooted at the Last Battle, well it
has been blown. With both the Horn blown and Rand proclaiming himself
Dragon could Tarmon Gai'don have started at Toman Head?
Also has anyone else noticed that the Dragon Banner is rather similar to
the Welsh Flag, which could mean that Rand is Tom Jones reborn. :)

And if your a projectionist, you get to watch the movie. Sure, this
would get old after a while, but it'd be fun for a while.
Hell, I'd be a jizz-mopper if I got a resonable number of free
tickets. Well, maybe not a jizz-mopper, but something like that.

If you are really doing your job, you don't get to watch the movie unless
you use really old equipment. The movie reels are assembled prior to
showing it, so you wander from projector to projector and then theater to
theater checking for problems. You do get paid to stay after closing and
preview movies to make sure they were properly assembled. This can be
either good or bad.

The white NSA guy was played by Hank Azaria. He is currently dating
Helen Hunt and has a recurring role on Mad About You as the dog walker.
Oh, he also played Aggedor, the house boy, in the Bird Cage. That's
the only thing I can think of him being in recently where you could
actually see him. He's on TV every week as the voice of several
characters on the Simpsons.

I think he was in _Quiz Show_ as a sniveling yes-man. Anyone remember

Well, your opinion of the pay will probably get worse as you get older. I
always found that the only justifications for the pay scale were that you
really didn't work that hard and that you got a lot of perks. Maybe your
theater just pays better than mine did, but it can't be much better if
it's a chain.

There are union projectionists. They get great pay, but you have to
apprentice and such to become one. However, not all theaters use union
projectionists. It may be partly your location, but most projectionists
are not unionized from what I found.
>>Ushering is good because you get to move around and don't deal
>>with too many customers.
>Yeah, but you get stuck with the crap jobs. Sometimes literally.
True. However, this didn't bother me as much as working in the box. You
rarely had to clean anything nasty and you could always avoid it if you
used your head.
>>Selling tickets is a pale imitation of being
>>projectionist becasue you at least get to avoid your coworkers.
>And you get to sit.
This was usually a negative for me. I usually moved the stool and worked
standing up unless I was tired. I preferred to be moving around and doing
things. Besides, I *really* didn't like dealing with customers for long
stretches of time.
>>Working the concession stand has absolutely no redeeming values and

They hate it, of course. People labelled as cashiers get paid more to do
less than concession workers. Why would they want to give up good shifts
to work a worse job? Cashiers don't stay as late either, although this
can be good or bad depending on how poor you are. If it makes you feel
better, all theaters want to cross-train. Most managers barely have the
intelligence to make a schedule, so having all your workers with the same
skills makes it easier. Besides, if a cashier calls in sick it can be
hard to fill the shift otherwise.
>> Finally, the ownership matters because there are different policies
>>for how certain jobs, especially ushering, are performed.
>Looks that way.
For instance, you wouldn't have been an usher at my theater because they
didn't work young women as ushers. Very few people complained about this,
certainly not the guys who didn't want to work concession, and there were
some feeble reasons given as to why this was true. It worked out for the
best, though, because all the young women who did usher would always cop
out of all the bad jobs. Coworkers get sick of not having an equal split
of the unpleasant tasks.

That would be Hank Azaria. I am utterly astounded and mind-boggled to
learn that _that's_ the dog-walker, since I'd been trying to figure
out who he fuck he was for months, now. That's Hank Azaria?
The weird thing is, that show had a pretty good cast.
Hank Azaria is also many voices on the Simpsons. Yeardley Smith
(Louise) is also Lisa on the Simpsons, and was a supporting character
on a little-known (but pretty funny, for the first few years)
cable sitcom called "Brothers" on Showtime. Jason Bernard (Bracken)
is a fairly well-known character actor. Whatshisname (Crawford) was
Colonel Flagg on MASH. And I think Molly Hagan (Angel) was the first Voorta
that Sisko encountered in Deep Space Nine-- I thought she'd hae made a
better running enemy than that reincarnated idiot hanging around Gul
Dukat.
(Voorta are minions, dammit! Jem'Hedar are lackeys. Got it?)
It's depressing that I remembered all this off the top of my head.

Hmmm, Jordan must use a different dictionary than I use. I think we can
safely say that the final WAR started where you (sarcastically I assume)
suggest, but the final battle could not have started so soon and I am
guessing it still hasn't started. It would seem to me that the war is the
showdowns between Rand and each of the forsaken/chosen (which started in
book 1) with each showdown being a battle, but unless Sammael is still
alive and Sammael is the last forsaken to be killed (with no battle at all
with the DO), then I would suggest that the final battle has not begun yet.
OTOH, it may be that the final battle is between Rand and Lews Therin
Tellamon--in which case the final battle did start in book 1 but it is a
very long a drawn-out battle, really more like a war of its own with a
plethora of different battles. Hmmm, maybe that's the clue Jordan's trying
to give us ;-)

Okay, now I'm getting confused...
The way I always looked at it was, yeah, The Last Battle was indeed
some kind of apocalyptic clash (ie. people "beating on eachother"),
but all the events we've seen in the books thus far were various
fulfillments of the Karaethon Cycle, which is the prelude to the main
event.
Does that take on events fit, or am I way out in left field thinking
this?

I was thinking either 101 Dalmations or Lady and the Tramp. They were
the cats that belonged to some evil woman. But that's okay. I personally
think Disney sucks after Little Mermade. Now they are going to have a
movie about a singing and dancing Hercules. I wonder if he's going to
kill his wife and kids and Rape women and rip people to shreds? Prolly
not. *sigh of discontent and longing for REAL stories, not some watered

"Circle of Life" is a good song. (the version Elton John sings
anyway) However, hands down, the all time greatest Disney song
_ever_ is "Hellfire" from the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Hands down, best Disney song has to be "We Are Siamese, If you Please"
from the _Aristocats_.
Although, anything from the _Little Mermaid_ is very entertaing. I think
that the songs all lost some of their zip from that point on. The
animation may have gotten a little better, although none of them (except
possibly Pocahontas) have the same elegant style as the earlier stories
like _Pinochio_, or _Snow White_. But the songs have all gone downhill.
"Colors of the Wind?" Blagh! "A Whole New World?" Ugh! "Be Our Guest?"
Yech! "Circle of Life?" Gag! "Hakuna Mattata?" Barf! All hippy, new-age,
John-Tesh-esque, Yanni-istic, feel good, politically correct warbling.
I will listen to "Under The Sea" anytime! I love that song.(1)

"We Are Siamese, If you Please" is from the _Aristocats_. IIRC, the
two Siamese cats who sing the song discuss things such as splitting a
goldfish. Oh well, I guess I could consult my four-year old neice...I
think that she already knows every Disney song out there...
As for how I'm sure its from the _Aristocats_, I had the record when I

Just because I did it that way doesn't mean she has to. Though
considering some of the people that I now know are applying, I would be
quite interested in her posting them.

If they're already Warder's, then they can't apply. You, darkie, Josh
Hall, Bill, Emmett, Joel McAllister, and Russ Ennis are all barred from
applying. I think Chad might be as well... Judy claims him as a 1/2
Warder.

Bleh. Without exception, the Top 40ed versions of Disney songs are
worse than the originals. The opening scene in the movie gave me
chills. The Elton John version is far less interesting.

It's definitely from _Lady and the Tramp_. It's sung by the annoying old
aunt's two Siamese cats. My favorite lines there are:
" - Do you hear what I hear?
- Baby cry!
- Where we finding baby there are milk nearby.
- If we look in baby buggy there could be.
- Plenty milk for you. And also some for me."
And BTW, speaking of _Lady and the Tramp_ - anyone notice how the proper
and healthy thing to do soon after you have a baby is to take a vacation
and leave the baby behind?

Actually, I'd say it isn't.
But it's interesting to note how at the time the movie was made it was
obviously considered the proper thing to do. Darling doesn't want to leave
her baby behind, but Jim Dear insists that they must go. I think the
reasoning behind it is that the parents (especially the mother) need some
time off after all the stress of pregnancy and childbirth.
Of course, nowadays the exact opposite view is taken - the parents should
remain at home with their baby, bonding with it and incorporating this new
little person into their daily lives.
It's very interesting how drastically attitudes regarding proper parenting
change.
And if we're really getting into this discussion just take look at _Bambi_
- a proper father keeps his distance. The only responsibility for child
rearing is on the mother. The father's responsibility is to (proudly)
watch from afar, making sure everything is OK, and only stepping in in
times of distress (like when Bambi's mother was killed).
Can anyone remember anything else regarding parenting from a Disney movie?
Malka.

<shrug> Other then the sequence with Madonna and the goofy soundtrack, I

Definitely not one for your kiddies though, even if one of the sequences
might be played by them in a year or two.:) (Before you get suspicious,
in one of the vignettes, the Bellhop is payed big money to take care of
Antonio Banderas' two kids, who are a couple of spoiled brats.. Umm, am I

Pretty good. It's four little vignettes, each with a different director
(Tarantino's was the dullest of the lot), that all involve the same
bellhop on the midnight shift on New Year's Eve. Overall, it was pretty
funny, a little sick at times. Not a date movie. Only time I've ever
enjoyed an Antonio Banderas performance.

Wanting to see if the class had understood the
concept of sublimation, the instructor asked if
anyone could provide an example (expecting
"dry ice" as the answer).
A previously unknown section of my mind took
control of my mouth and immediately emitted
the word "burrito."
It took the instructor about 10 minutes to regain an academic composure.

LOL. Does this make any sense at all (having never eaten a
burrito, I really don't know whether they tends to disappear
or soemthing)?

All-points bulletin. Short for "everyone look for this person."
Originated from police terminology, but it's become common usage now.

He's good at it. I make him behave when on the phone.
<shrug> Conversation wouldn't go anywhere if I didn't.

Yes, it has been.. Somehow I think I ended up becoming her official
gleeman in the process. The scary thing is, that I think this means I
have to sing songs about how she was sullied mightily by warder
applicants and an elf of the night...

Being as Emmet's taken by approximately 52% of the human population, I
think he's ruled out with extreme prejudice...

Sexual harassment is no laughing matter! I'm afraid I'll have to send
you to sensitivity training, Scottie...

The answer is left as an exercise to the reader.... On the one hand, my
RL nickname isn't Loki for nothing... or I may just have a head built out
of a condensed cosmic string. Maybe even sweet and condensed... Cake
sounds good...Scottie, can I have cake? I like frogs. Am I in the wrong
building?

<snort> Since when do conversations need to go somewhere? I like my
conversations to stay home and finish their schoolwork first.

I know -- we watch (far too much! :-) American cop series on television
here in You-ropp too. That's _why_I_asked_ if "abp" = "apb", you know...

I still think that the first thing I'm gonna do if I ever meet him, is
fire a tranquilizer dart into his butt.
_Then_ I'll say "Hi".
