This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Just as I was ready to leave it alone for good, I note that in F&FS Esther
Friesner has played our game, also with the cast of the late (not terribly)
lamented, for DUNE this time. It's funny enough to pass on:

Paul Atreides: Jerry
Lady Jessica: Elaine
Baron Harkonnen: Newman
Feyd-Rautha: Kramer
Duncan Idaho: George

But wait, there's more! John Kessel casts TBOTNS:

Severian: Leo
Thecla: Helena Bonham-Carter (aren't these people a little s-h-o-r-t?)
Thea: Joanna Going (huh?)
Vodalus: Andre Braugher (ditto?)
Master Gurloes: John Hurt (that's not bad)
Master Palaemon: Morgan Freeman
Dorcas: Gabrielle Anwar (also huh? from me)
Agia: Nicole Kidman
Agilus: Kevin Bacon
Jolenta: Julia Ormond
Dr. Talos: Gary Oldman
Baldanders: Arnold
Hildegrin: Peter Postlethwaite (?)
Hethor: John Malkovich
The Autarch: Kenneth Branagh

This is a whole issue on the movies, and kind of fun (July).
