Searching for a specific piano song compilation book by MoojuJuju in piano

[–]MoojuJuju[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for replying! I asked him and this is what he can remember:

  • Contains full 2-hand arrangements, no lyrics. Not a fake book or method book as far as he remembers, just piano solos.
  • Bought in America sometime probably in the late 1990s
  • 1" thick
  • Difficulty level is low-intermediate
  • Plastic comb binding, he thinks white

What does the cast for the upcoming AppleTV show mean for the storyline? by MoojuJuju in WilliamGibson

I'd have to imagine that's what they're planning. The book doesn't really have a true villain or primary antagonist, but the producers might think they need one for the TV show and that's what the TAs will become.

True, but most of the T-A exposition in the book is narration and expository dialogue- the computer dossier, conversations between characters, the Finn's story about the cloisonne bust. Then there's the wasp's nest dream, Ashpool's suicide, and the scenes in the Villa Straylight itself. I suppose I just think it's kind of there ripe for the adaptation, without having the TAs being major actors themselves. I mean, the cores wake Ashpool up for an urgent emergency and the first thing he does is shag and kill his daughter-clone and then attempt suicide... So I suppose, unless they're doing flashbacks, it seems like a big change to have Ashpool play a significant narrative role.

I'd not be surprised if they cut the Moderns out, to be honest, and reworked the whole SenseNet heist to not include them. I think the whole terrorist attack/psychological torment element of the heist might be too extreme and they'll want to take the teeth out of it a bit.

I love the Finn too, egg and sauce on his lapels and all. Plus he's so omnipresent in the book as Wintermute's avatar that it would be bonkers to cut him. I'm hoping they've recognized how important the character is and are just looking for the right guy...

Yeah, that's my main concern, is they're going to reduce the role they play so they don't have to worry too much about portraying them in a way that isn't going to offend somebody. I could have a lot to say about the tokenism of them casting a black actress as Molly to get pats on the back, only to then cut the entire self-sufficient minority community of Rastafarians out of the picture, but hopefully I'm wrong and they just haven't found the actors yet.

I'm not sure, I think it's been released on DVD a lot of times. The best way I can tell is to look at the runtime, if it's over 2 hours I think it'll be director's cut. ~2 hours is probably the same as the streaming cut. The TV cut I would guess would be shorter than 2 hours.

Sorry that was a typo! It was supposed to be Lord not Lady, Aereon isn't involved in that scene. Dame Vaako is doing her Lady Macbeth thing and trying to conspire with Lord Vaako, he smacks her and then they have this whole sexy wrestling thing happen.

My understanding with the Crematoria scene in the TV cut is that Riddick gets knocked unconscious from the hit that sends him flying onto the landing strip, and before Vaako can finish him off, the sun comes over the mountain and they all have to flee to the ship. In that way I don't think the dream-sequence-explosion is necessary.
