Disney, by the way, has been having financial issues lately, which shows that even the biggest companies are not immune to the tides of fortune.

A decade after Disney bought the empire, the empire declines.

I just finished "The Mists of Avalon", and, while it's beautifully written, at 900 pages, it plods along, and sometimes, reading it can be a chore. I have read reviews of how it describes the lives of the ladies during the reign of King Arthur, but a better example of such works would be Vonda...

Sounds interesting - you should start your blog post on this forum and ask for feedback.

@CelticRambler, are you saying that France has a history of satire? That would be true, especially with Asterix the Gaul, but Britain also @CelticRambler, which country? Britain or France? I'm curious because I'm wondering about your reference to that strong tradition. I'm reading Marion...

@mlesemann and @sfoster, thanks. I keep thinking of the scene in the 1980's movie, "Excalibur", where Sir Lancelot said that no one could cross the bridge unless they beat him at a jousting match. This scene was also done in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", when the knight, having his limbs...

@mlesemann, how do you suggest I turn it into satire? "Life of Brian" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" would be a good start, I guess.

I'm reading up on history, to lay a foundation for my retelling of the Arthurian legend. One of my issue is writing about the Lady of the Lake. As the Legend goes, she is the keeper of the Excalibur, giving it to Arthur and, when he dies, receiving it. But, since I'm a divorce lawyer, whenever I...

Thanks, @Chris Tempel - your encouragement is much appreciated.

I'll post some random scenes about my retelling of the Arthurian legend. This is not historical fiction but rather historical fantasy, because I'm playing fast and loose with historical events - there certainly were no dragons during the Roman era. >>>>>> The breeze blew across the ships...

I'm an Aspiring Mogul, so we have the same first name. You should check out the biographies of Walt Disney and Don Bluth.

Welcome, fellow Canadian! You should check out the Torinto International Film Festival, which is held very September, because it's one of the major film markets in the world.

Today is the Feast of St George. I'm writing bits and pieces on the retelling of legend of King Arthur, so, of course, I would be reading up on prior versions. Anyway, I was going to start the story from the fall of the Roman Empire, when the soldiers decide to stay and make their lives in...

Then he should write about writing instead of talking about talking.

I have been under the impression that the Mouse House recouped its $4 billion purchase price with the new trilogy, but this Forbes article says otherwise. I'm not up on this, but it seems that the trilogy made the money, then the subsequent movies bombed, creating the loss. In any case...

Welcome, but why "underground"?
