The End of the Internet? I linked something similar before, but it's worth reading again. "If Americans are to succeed in designing an equitable digital destiny for themselves, they must mount an intensive opposition similar to the successful challenges to the FCC's media ownership rules in 2003. Without such a public outcry to rein in the GOP's

I do some Human Shield work with Perverted Justice, and it's awful the way these guys talk to young girls. Truly awful and disgusting.

[cleolinda]

Dude, the stuff Hansen reads back to these guys from their chatlogs? UGH. At the same time, it's incredibly satisfying to watch them squirm (well, in my mind's eye, anyway) when they're called on their perverted shit.

[snale]

Squirming was good, but crying was better.

[arpeggiodreams]

Yeah, it's like they all have a fucking handbook.

What do you look like?
Do you have a boyfriend?
What size bra do you wear?
Do you have hair "down there"?

And on and on and on.

perverted-justice.com does good work.

What the poster said was, they've just filmed a [you know what] scene [for this character who I am trying not to name down here in the comments] and may or may not use it. But given the problems this actor has been having, it (or another scene, if they choose to film a different version) will probably be used.

That sounds much more realistic than other articles (if you can call them that, they're largely tabloid-type gossip) I've read on this subject. I can definitely see them filming an emergency-type scene just in case the actor is suddenly unavailable to film scenes. That's just good sense. I really doubt any discussion that makes the cast seem like one big groupthink that can't handle a little diversity and change.

Re: Regarding the LOST spoiler:

[cleolinda]

Yeah, the way I heard it, they're more concerned about the, uh, potential unavailability of the actor. As for the cast problems--it sounds like she's a major disruption. I mean, if she displays the same attitude at work as she did when the legal thing happened, I can imagine that people would start to resent that. It's not so much that they can't all play in the same sandbox as that she just really seems like a bad fit with... well, any group of people who actually want to get anything accomplished in a mature fashion, really.

Brownie points for the Kay Nielsen shout-out, I had no idea you liked him (most people have never heard of him). I used to have posters of his art on my walls when I was a teenager; these days I have the original prints from a breaker copy of East of the Sun and West of the Moon - I used to work in a rare book shop, and I sort-of accidentally acquired them when I left ... (It's a long story.) I knew he'd worked on Fantasia, but Hollywood wasn't kind to him at all.

Good luck finding Twelve Dancing Princesses - I've got a 1970s reprint of In Powder and Crinoline, and even that's worth a surprising amount of money. Not that I'm parting with it, unless I really have to.

On that page they link to a fairy tales site called Sur la Lune, and I totally raided their image galleries a couple of years back. That's where I discovered him--I wouldn't say I'm a children's lit/art buff or connoisseur or anything, because that implies an overarching knowledge I probably don't have, but I frickin' love picture books and illustration and stuff. I'm still trying to collect Kinuko Craft books (and Trina Schart Hyman, while I'm at it).

You have In Powder and Crinoline?!! Luckyyyy. Is there any way possible you could be persuaded into producing some hi-res scans? In Powder and Crinoline has some of my favorite Nielsen art, and I haven't been able to find more than a few high-quality pictures anywhere. There are several friends and acquaintances who've been clamoring for Nielsen pics, especially from that book, but I've been unable to satify them (and myself). Nocloo whetted my appetite, but not only are the images unsavable, but they all have gross watermarks plastered across the bottom. If you don't want to scan anything, would you have leads to other sources of information/images? Thanks.

Re: O__O

[phoebesmum]

I don't have a scanner, unfortunately. Am no use to man nor beast.

Are the printe up on eBay watermarked? I can't see anything on this one, for example, but there might be something that you can only see when it prints out.
