Sniff.
And now I have the theme song in my head.
Yes, he was in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves too.

I just double-checked which of her works had been turned into TV or film adaptations last night.
Not many. She didn’t get along with Hollywood.
But I think she said she liked the PBS version of The Lathe of Heaven.
I think that’s the one to track down for me.
I love love love the Earthsea trilogy (first thing I ever read by her), but that whitewashed Geb in the series, which is unforgivable no matter how good the actor was.
Damn it! Not good news to wake up to.
i never saw that one, but i kept holding out hope that her Earthsea would get a good cinematic treatment, or even a miniseries. of course, i’ve been holding that same hope out for Zelazney’s Amber series for decades, too. sigh.

Tubby hugs for everyone:
Ski Movie Legend Warren Miller has died at 93:
This sounds really suspicious. What happened there?
Apparently they’re saying it isn’t suspicious. I wonder if that’s code for ‘accidental overdose’?
i assumed heart attack, which is also in the “not suspicious” category. i hope it’s nothing else!
They also said that about Mitch Hedberg, but later revised the cause of death from heart attack to accidental overdose.
I also hope there was nothing else going on.
Maybe HBO will adapt that next after GoT is gone.
i think it would work well as a one-season thing, maybe two seasons, but no more than that. not sure HBO would be up for it, but maybe netflix or syfy? anyway, it has so much potential and could easily be done, effects-wise, now. i’m continually surprised nobody has done it.
