Not sure. It's still there, just looks like somebody is currently editing it.

Watching the first episode of this now. It’s better than I expected! Very Robin of Sherwood but with a bigger budget and (unfortunately) a Robin with a modern haircut, who is the weak point and is a total wet blanket. But the rest of it makes up for him.

What happens with things like Star Wars, where Greedo, Jabba, etc. are subtitled (but not R2D2--why?) and the humans are not?

I love this idea. I'm watching for the advice and the final implementation.

Ball is, as they say, in your court!

Actually, tell you what. If you show up at the podcast livestream tomorrow and remind me in the chat, I will do this for you. That's the deal. :)

Yes, that is the joke. Well done. ;)

Livestreaming as always Friday at 2pm UK time (this week that's 10am Eastern, as the UK has put its clocks back but the US has not)! We'll be joined by Mike Shea aka Sly Flourish who is filling in for Jess who is off on holiday AGAIN (the decadence!), and talking about the new Forgotten Realms...

I pronounce them mirror, squirrel, horror, Graham, and Craig.

We are, sadly, famously xenophobic when it comes to languages. Or even non-British dialects of English. It’s not a great trait. But we can pronounce mirror, squirrel, horror, Graham, and Craig, without saying “meer”, “squirl”, “whore” (I mean WFT, guys?!? Why would you do that?!?), Gram, and...

They ‘financed’ them in the sense that they paid handsomely for a distribution deal which was used to bolster the show’s budget. The BBC is not in the habit of selling its IP. “BBC sells important cultural IP to American corporation” would be bigger than Brexit.

I’m just amused by Americans using the word “wanker”. It’s so weird!

What makes you think the BBC has not retained the ability to license its own IP out? It has full ownership of the material; Disney just had a distribution agreement.

Warrior of Intoxication Monk (formerly Way of the Drunken Master)… man, poetry is dead! Who named it that?

Or a massive marketing budget. Either/or. Or both!

The problem is that 99% of the time it isn't criticism, it is a statement of preference couched as objective fact--often because folks can have blinkers when it comes to matters of taste. And that riles peoples' goats. Umm. Is "riles peoples' goats" a thing?

The sad part is that reach and marketing are far more important than quality when it comes to sales. You can make the best thing in the world, but if nobody knows about you can't sell it (and vice versa). I was very lucky that my little publishing company got a reach boost from being associated...

That's the most poetic thing I've ever seen on EN World.

Oooh. This is an intersection of two of my biggest interests!
