Thanks. On the use of place names, GC has done this other
places too. I can't remember but it came up in this list
before and it is probably in the archive. Maybe it was
names of taken, or something. Can't recall. On the stuff
in the spoilers, I flat out don't remember those things
being important later.

David,
I just read SSB last night. Can't say I found any
justification for a
real-world geography in it, but I'll try to remember to
ask.
The one thing I did notice, right at the beginning, was
Garrett's old
ship when he was in the marines: the Imperial Kimmswick.
Imperial and Kimmswick are too tiny hamlets facing one
another across
I-55, less than an hour's drive south along 55 from St.
Louis.
- ------------------
spoiler for Sweet Silver Blues:
And why in hell were all sorts of people trying to see if
Garrett
twigged to lists of names and phrases? (The unnamed major
wasn't really
investigating anything, he was covering up things, being
the
shapeshifter Venagati agent.) And what's with the
Darkelfin prophecy,
"Dawn of Night's Mercy/Madness"?? If this is revealed in
later novels,
just tell me that, but don't reveal it :)
Steve

Sometimes I think he just starts makih up any name he feels like. What
about the towns Six and Fred the BC passes in Shadow games?

My guess? They were watching his reaction as the names were mentioned
in an effort to see if he recognized any of them.
Why? He might be an agent investigating something... After all if
you're a double agent in a war zone and 'an investigator from the
capital' shows up it would pay to be paranoid about the guy.
Maybe he wouldn't actually be part of a special unit - say you take him
at his word that he is in town acting on a wil - maybe someone is using
him. Maybe the whole thing is a setup and the real interest is what the
agent will learn while acting on the will. Maybe 'Joe Smith' [I can't
remember the list, so I'm inventing Joe Smith] from the war office
happens to be one of the relatives that Garnet will be reporting to, and
Joe will be asking Garnet how it went and did he notice anything special
about a certain Major? If so, Garrett's reaction might tell you
something - something that could save your life.
Garrett could honestly believe his story and still be a plant. Someone
who's interested in what's his name kid - the guy we had to kill to
cover what happened at the church: Are you (as a spy and double agent
type) willing to bet your life that Garrett isn't part of some plot to
uncover your misdeeds? Maybe someone back home killed Garrett's friend
and fake the will just to draw out the traitor.
Being a spy and a traitor can really make you paranoid - so you
investigate everyone who might be a threat.

I don't recall seeing it in any of the later books.

Subject: (glencook-fans) Casting the BC Movie
Y'all are gonna have to indulge me here a little because casting a =
movie from a book is one of my favorite games. It amazes me that I never =
gave much thought to it as far as "The Company" goes. After reading a =
few nominations here, I have thought about it for a while this evening =
and here is my 2 cents worth.
1. The Dominator- The Rock (Wrestler and "the Mummy Returns" Scorpion =
King) he has the right look and it would be another brief role.
2. Lady/Soulcatcher- Christina Ricci, with a little computer =
assistance they could use her Wednesday Adamms persona for Croaker and =
Lady's daughter.
3. Croaker- David Morse (the other Guard on the Green Mile), he's =
kinda big and maybe a little paunchy and with a short beard I think he =
would do nicely. Plus he has a sort of dreamy quality about him.
4. The Captain- Robert Duval, very commanding presense and strong =
authority figure.
5. The Leutenant- Christopher Walken, handsome, competent and a little =
world weary.
6. The Limper- I'll go along with Dennis Hopper on this one. I =
wouldn't have thought of him but he would be perfect now that i think =
about it.
7. Raven- Russell Crow, even the name fits.
8. Silent- Liam Neeson, strong actor and no worriy about his accent.
9. Tom-Tom- Morgan Freeman
10.One-eye- Eddie Murphy, with enough time in the make up chair he can =
be anybody you want and he can be seriously funny.
11.Goblin- Paul Reubens (AKA Peewee Herman)
12.Whisper- Kathy Bates
13.Elmo- Oliver Platt
14.-Shapeshifter- John Rys-Davies, big boistrous, loud and sort of =
hairy.
15.Murgen- Johnny Depp- Hallucinating, time traveling, occasionally =
catatonic Murgen is perfect for Depp.
16.Big Bucket-Mick Foley (another Wrestler but he wouldn't have to do =
much but stand around with his bucket hanging out).
17.Sahra- Lucy Liu or Michelle Yeow(sp)?
18.Wheezy- Willy Nelson, Hey I'm a Texan, Ya gotta have Willy in there =
somewhere.
19.Mogaba- Samuel L. Jackson
20.Sindawe- Danny Glover
21.Blade- Nicholas Cage, because his uncle said he could.
22.Willow Swan- Alexander Godunov (just for the looks).
23.Howler- Alan Rickman
Darling would have to be played by an unknown, and I'm not very =
familiar with asian or Indian(east) actors so I won't try to go there.

Let's hear it for the St. Louis Public Library! The San Antonio Library has
a very limited, if not rare, selection of two of the three Darkwar books and
a hard cover version of Tower of Fear.

Remember the guy with the raspy voice who was the cargo ship's captain. I
believe he also played the bad guy in The Crow. It has always stuck in my
head that he would make a good Croaker. Besides having the voice (I know
they gave Croaker his name because he was a field surgeon) I always liked
him in any one of the bad movies he appeared. You know who would make the
perfect Raven. Glen Danzig. Don't know if he can act though.

<font size=3D3> Yeah, he was Top Dollar in the
Crow, cannot think of his name, he also played a bad cop in Romeo is
Bleeding (not Romeo must Die, different movie). He would make a great
Croaker, he already looks jaded and wise.<br>
Danzig played one of the rebel angels
(suprise, suprise) in the last Prophecy movie. No really much acting in
the scene, but he found himself in a movie. Doesn't he just go by Gdansk
now?<br>
