filkertomJay Denebeim, the moderator of the usenet group rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated, says that JMS (Joe Michael Strazcynski) will have a really big announcement next Saturday, May 15. The vibe is that it's going to be a new Babylon 5 movie, initials TMoS.

"This [copy of Destroyer #1] is a reissue, which is a Pinnacle publishing word for a thin tissue of lies repeated at least once.... When you are done reading this introduction, throw this book away. It will do you no good.
With moderate tolerance for you, I am

Uh oh. I just started imagining Tom singing Ung Poetry...
Neil Diamond Takes The Hit
Date: 2004-05-07 01:32 pm (UTC)Everybody knows one...
So, is Ung Poetry part of the Destroyer series, or are we talking about the Kipling "The Story of Ung"?
His name was Remo Williams and he...
Date: 2004-05-07 01:51 pm (UTC)(I haven't read any of the Destroyer books in years. Are the new ones any good or has the franchise lost its flavor. There was one, though I don't know the number, in which a rabid Trekkie was a main character.)

Okay. Everybody come up with the best and silliest acronym you can for this thing. (Suggest a musical style, too.) You have until... hmmm... let's say Saturday morning 9:00 EDT for suggestions, and then we'll vote on 'em.
Winning suggestion will get some downloads for free. I'll write and record the song, and put it up in the Free Stuff section before JMS makes the announcement next week.
Damn! I'm liking this challenging-myself-to-the-absurd stuff.

Bah, brain out of steam. FWIW, I have heard The Movement of Shadows bandied about as the possible real phrase TMOS stands for. That sounds promising.
JMS Roundup

On the B5 front, there has been something of rather substantial proportion that's finally gone from talk to money, such that I'm now working frantically to meet some deadlines, but there's nothing I can say about this until after January 15th, probably closer to the end of that month.
The only thing I can say is that phase one of the new project is a go, hence the furious writing schedule at this end of things, which is why I've been silent until deciding to kick up some dust on the political discusion. I've been writing my little brains out.
I know the immediate result of this will be speculation, but if we could keep that to a low roar on the nets to avoid precluding anything, that would be a wonderfulness. But trust me: I wouldn't go on about something in this way if
it wasn't a significant development. Just trust me on this one for a bit and hold fire until further word.
(Longtime followers of the various news groups know that an eep means that something significant has happened, but that I can't talk about it...the eep is just a way of saying, on the QT, that something has, indeed, happened and it's real, not just speculation or maybe-gonna-happens. So on that basis, you may consider this an eep.)
And thus began a lot of speculation and the like.
Jan 29
It's taken longer than hoped for to be able to talk about this, because it's taken longer than hoped for to go through all the machinations of the deal. Depending on the nature of a given deal, it can take a few weeks to a couple, three months to actually cut the deal and finalize the language in terms everybody can agree with. We only literally finished the deal last week.
Writing on B5:TMoS is complete, and as soon as the powers that be sign off on everything, it can be turned in and we can start moving. At that point, I can say more about this.
Figure another couple of weeks.
This was the first time we got so much as TMoS, so the guessing-games began. "The Mating Of Spoo" was one.
March 19
Oh...and starting around the Ides of May, look to the wrong side of the river for word from Harry, Jack and Albert.
Not that I'm enjoying this, of course....
That dirty liar. He was reveling in it.
Apr 29
I know I've been absent for a while now, but there are reasons, especially in regards to B5:TMoS. In a project of this nature, and this size, there's stage one (let's do this) stage two (let's make everybody's deal) and stage three (making it). We're hip-deep in stage two just now, and it's taking a freaking long amount of time to get through it all. Stage two is also the most unnerving and nerve-wracking stage when there's a lot of money involved, as there is in this situation.
So every day is a case of "Are we there yet?" and being told yes...almost.
I swear, it's the kind of thing that could lead a monk to murder.
Thing of it is...there's a LOT happening right now in the B5 universe, on a multitude of fronts, some of it in response to TMoS, some of it coming up completely on its own. All I can say at this moment is that if you've been waiting for new stuff in the B5 universe, you may be getting your wish in spades very soon.
Soon, I promise, all will be made clear. I don't like being Mr. Mysterioso on this, but if I say too much, the-powers-that-be will use my head to make a 2.35:1 sized hole in the wall.
2.35:1 is, of course, the theatrical screen aspect ratio...
And that's where we are.

Suggestions:
Date: 2004-05-07 05:17 pm (UTC)They're Mismanaging Our Satellite! (Strident Les Miserables-style military ballad/march--and it could be about B5, DS9, or the ISS!)
Two Months of SciFi (and the effect that would have on the fannish brain--I'm guessing spooky electronica)
Take My Orifices, Squid (J-pop, of course)
Try My Octopus Sushi (though NOT after the previous gag...we'll say diatonic jazz)
Too Many Obvious Spies (DS9, seasons 3-5--spy-jazz style)
I know I shouldn't include possible plotlines, but I couldn't resist. Then again, I probably should have left off two of the gags, too, but I couldn't resist that either. Please don't hit...:)
This is all, I promise. I'm going to bed now.

The Multitude of SMOFs (sing-along)
The Massacre of Smurfs (no, wait, you did that one)
The Microbes of Saskatchewan (patriotic ditty)
The Miracle of Somnambulism (Gilbert & Sullivan)
The March of Slugs (a march, natch)
The Menace of Spongebob (doo-wop)
Totaled My Own Studebaker (country)
Tom's Mail Order Songfest (too obvious?)
Too Many Old Senators (protest song
Try Merging on Saturn (romantic ballad)
Taste Mustard on Spumoni (sounds like something by Weird Al)
Ten Minutes on Survivor (reggae)
Two Mouthfuls of Spoo (commercial jingle)
