<<1. What are my options?
The truth is, I've seen so FEW movies this year, I'd be a lousy judge. Why don't we wait until the nominees come out,
then ask me again.

I know you're probably not pleased by 12 nominations for Gladiator, but if it's any consolation, I have figured out why Senator Gracius (sp) isn't executed by the Praetorians. He just told them he was the reincarnation of the Emperor Claudius, and they let him go. ;)
Greg responds...
Picture: Well, I've only seen Crouching and Gladiator. So it's Crouching by default.
Actor: I've only seen Crowe and Hanks. Both in pictures I did not like. I guess I'd give it to Crowe by default.
Actress: Seen none of these. No opinion.
Sup Actor: Phoenix by default. Though I thought he was much better in THE YARDS.
Sup Actress: Saw both ALMOST FAMOUS and BILLY ELLIOT (the latter on video). Three good performances. I'd give it to Frances by a nose.
Director: Ang Lee (though I've seen neither Soderbergh film).
Orig. Screenplay: Cameron Crowe by default.
Adapted Screenplay: Crouching by default.

when the clan moves into the clocktower, the clock doesn't work and later on it does, i'm assuming because Lex fixed it like he said he could. what did the people of New York think when suddenly the clock was working again, wouldn't someone go up there to investigate at least?
i realize its another stupid question, but i figured i'd ask anyway...
Greg responds...
Lex was constantly fixing the clock. It was constantly breaking down. (You'll notice that sometimes the time on the face made sense. Sometimes it made no sense.) Before Lex, workmen did the same thing but had largely given up due to municipal budget cuts. No one noticed that it continued to be inconsistent.

Why in genisis undone wasn't Elisa there?
I mean surely Delilah would have needed some of her D.N.A. to stay alive. Or wasn't she there because she hasn't met Delilah yet and you were trying to keep it to a one episode show?
Greg responds...
I had nothing to do with that episode of Goliath Chronicles. I have no idea.
Anne writes...
I am currently undertaking restoration work on an internal wall afresco which depicts an animal with the body of a horse and the tail of a lion. The head is missing. Could you direct me to something on the internet concerning mythological animals at all. The building is a historical home (castle) which dates back to 1529 in Tuscany Italy.
many thanks
Greg responds...
Whoah. No, I'm sorry. I'm amazingly incompetent with regard to most internet stuff. And that's way outside the perview of this site.
Good luck though.

Could you please give up a short overview of what HOBGOBLIN OF LITTLE MINDS would have been about?

Greg responds...
Nope.

hey Sapphire, great questions, but couldn't you have grouped the ones of homosexuality together, geeez...
in 1996, in the garg universe, what is everyone's view on homosexuality?
hehehe, sorry for picking on you, Sapphire :)
Greg responds...
Diverse.

would gargoyles also be known as "stone protectors"?

i dought it, but i can only ask!:-)
THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! }>]
Greg responds...
It sounds like our ad copy.

have you ever thought of a Dune and gargoyles crossover?
Greg responds...
Nope.
Sapphire writes...
According to legend demons are adraid of gargoyles. Is this same concept true in the gargoyles universe?
Greg responds...
Haven't met any demons. We'll have to see ;)

Idle question from idle fingers: how many of the original Beatles were alive at the time of "Hunter's Moon"? For that matter, how many were there to begin with? Inquiring minds (all right, just my mind) want to know!
Greg responds...
Unless you're trying to be tricky and include folks like Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe, and all the various other "Fifth Beatles" I've heard about...
There were four Beatles... John, Paul, George and Ringo.
At the time of "Hunter's Moon", three of them were alive. Paul, George and Ringo. Those three are still alive as I type this.
Now did we really need to waste all of our time on this?
