Subject: Is "Insomnia" Related to the Play Starring Lisa Ryder? Probably not,
         but I had to ask...

Greetings,

I've seen some talk about this new movie "Insomnia" and some comparisons
with Lisa Ryder.  This brings something else to mind: Several years ago,
Lisa Ryder and her theatre troupe performed a play by the same name in
Toronto.  I was fairly faithful about seeing her troupe's plays, but for
whatever reason, I missed out on that particular one.  (If someone says:
"Well duh Will, it was after you moved away from Toronto", I'll scream)

Consequently, since I don't know the plot of the play (nor do I know the
plot of the movie), so - Has anyone seen both?  (Or at least has anyone seen
a plot synopsis of both?).

More than likely they aren't the same play, but I just had to ask.

I was watching Guess Whos Talking this morning and Blue had a small part at
the resthome where the John Travolta characters grandfather was.  It was good
to see him.  I always loved the FK character of Joe Reese.

Marla and I were cruising around Toronto taking in the sights (FK and
other) at the Doors Open exhibition which is taking place in Toronto
this weekend.

If you'd like to take a look at a few of the sites that are FK film
sites, click on the following:

www.doorsopen.org

Arts & Letters Club (QoH)
St Anne's Gladstone (GVP)
Gooderham & Worts (1966 & KI)
Old City Hall (SD)
Ralph thornton Town Hall (96th precinct)
st James Cathedral (FIHS)

Although it's not part of the Doors Open exhibit, I decided to swing
past Vachon's church (Riverdale Presbyterian Church on Pape St) to take
a few pictures of it.

I was surprised to discover that it is in the process of being renovated
as condos! However, according to the sign out front, all the units have
been sold out, so you Vaqueros are out of luck unless you want to scout
around for a resale. <g>

I haven't seen the movie nor do I know much about it, but from the
advertisements, it looks NOTHING like the play Lisa Ryder did. In fact, I
think the movie is based on a novel and I believe (if I recall correctly) the
play was an original work. I DID see the play.

I could be wrong, but I don't think they are related.

How was my weekend?  Well, my best friend convinced her ex-
boyfriend's current girlfriend's little brother that she was cool
by eating a live cricket.  It went down hill from there.

Hi everyone, newbie on the list.  From Clagary Canada, and a new
fan of the show.

Well not really new, but relitivly new, as I din't see any
eposodes before the show was canceled.  Because of this I've
missed a lot of the shows (for the last couple of weeks I've been
reading what scripts I can find).  I've also been reading around
the fan sites.  What an, ahem "interesting" fan core.

Can't wait to get to know you and the show better.

Stef

PS
The spelling is notoriously bad, sorry.

FORKNI-L RULES

1. No flames on list. FLAMERS MAY BE SET NOPOST. THE NOPOST MAY BE PERMANENT.

2. Please don't quote more than four lines of a previous post in
replying. If you have more than one point to answer, then you may
quote the relevant four lines for that point also.

3. Limit sigs to 6 lines. This includes all information, decoration
quotations and blank lines. Your name and address count as part of
the six. If you sign your name on a separate line above the body of
text, your name and the blank line or lines between count as part of
the six line limit. If you have one of those services that insists on
putting an advertising tag on the end of posts, don't worry. We
realize you can't control that and it doesn't count as part of your
sig.

4. Please don't send to the whole list when you are only talking to
the person who wrote the post you are answering.

5. Advertising on list is on a case by case basis. Please consult the
listowners, Lisa McDavid, <mclisa@m.......> or Don Fasig,
<Argent@e.......f> or permission.

6. This list is for the discussion of Forever Knight. Cast, crew,
staff and producers in connection with what they're doing now or have
done in the past are ok. So are list members' FK- fannish activities
and arrangements to meet. Cons should only be announced on Forkni-l
if someone from the show is appearing, or if you're going to be
there. Non-FK vampires, or vampires in general, are _NOT_ ok.
Vampyres@t....... does that. McLisa can tell you how to
subscribe. . 7. Off-topic posts are _NOT_ allowed, no matter what
they are about or how urgent the warning may appear. If you have an
off-topic post which you think should appear on the list, ask one of
the owners for permission.

8. The private lives of the cast are not a discussion topic.
Occasionally one of the fan club presidents will make an
announcement, but other than that, we leave the cast their privacy.

9. Only fan club presidents or other designated spokespeople may make
announcements of future projects for FK cast, crew and staff, before
said projects have been released or written about in the media.

10. No role-playing on Forkni-l. This includes no character names as
pseudonyms or posing as a character.

11. Each subscriber is limited to five posts per day on Forkni-l.

You know, I was watching movies on the Disney Channel yesterday -- hey, even
at twenty, those disney movies are still good -- and I thought I saw Blu.
I'm not sure, because he was in full makeup -- he was some kind of a
creature, the movie was Halloweentown II -- but . . . yeah . . .just thought
I'd mention it.
