It has been an incredible 12 hours and I appreciate how much work went into

When I telnet, I keep a window open on main (so I can see me logged in on telnet and smile.) If there is some post including a graphic or photo I want to see, I can just go to the window, look, then comment in telnet. The best of both worlds, is it not? I can also quickly check if there have been new posts by using the /confifty/ url without having to scroll through all of the conferences again. I like that! So, pop up a windown and peek in.

http://www.comics2film.com/HarshRealm.shtml
X-Files creator Chris Carter recently spoke to Eon Magazine about his upcoming Harsh Realm
TV Series. The show is based on a comic book created by James Hudnall and Andrew
Paquette. Of the comic, Carter said, "There were elements in it that I really liked a lot and I
thought it was a great vehicle for telling a series of stories. No one had ever tackled virtual reality
in a satisfactory way on network television. I think parallel worlds are great ways to tell stories. This
is really what I was shooting for, a way to tell stories about the human condition, using war as a
backdrop."
Carter also commented to Eon about cinematic influences on the show, " What I wanted to do
was to do a TV show that had elements of some of my favorite movies: Paths of Glory, Platoon,
Blade Runner, a lot of really good early war movies. And this was my way of doing that, using a
contemporary element, which was the virtual reality element. This I think has a tremendous
romantic story and has a great mythology potential as well. There's a conspiracy at work here.
There is another world, a parallel world that people can go back and forth between. I think it's a
great chance to tell allegorical stories, which is I think one of the storytelling conventions that
provides the best of series television."
One movie that didn't influence the show is the recent virtual reality hit, The Matrix. "I didn't know
about The Matrix until our show was shot," Carter told Eon. "I saw it and there were elements that
I think you're going to find in any kind of parallel world idea. So I think there were some similarities.
I was impressed by a lot of what they did in that movie. I was super impressed by the special
effects in that movie. I think that Harsh Realm, even though it is a virtual reality idea, is much
different than The Matrix. And I think that what we've done, too, is we've set the stage for many
episodes of this show, where a show like The Matrix I think might have to change its concept a
little bit in order to do the same thing."
Fans can read more of Carter's thoughts on Harsh Realm at the Eon Magazine website. Fans
can also view a teaser trailer for the show at the Fox.com website.

I think it may be a while before Fox airs it:
http://www.hollywoodcomics.com/paq0.jpg
Reported by Comics 2 Film 3/1/2000
Andrew Paquette and James Hudnall scored a victory against Twentieth Century Fox, Chris
Carter and Harris Publications yesterday in U.S. District Court in New York. Paquette and
Hudnall are the creators of the Harsh Realm comic book and the plaintiffs in a well-publicized
lawsuit over appropriate credit and fair dealing with regards to Carter's TV version of their
concept. District Judge John S. Martin, Jr. rendered a preliminary injunction against Fox and
Carter, which orders them to display an improved credit on the show. Harsh Realm is slated to
begin airing this month on the FX Network. "I'm pretty happy," Paquette told Comics 2 Film. "Of
course, we've been expecting this for a long time."
When the show originally aired on the Fox network, it sported a prominent, opening-credit card
which read "Created By Chris Carter". Hudnall and Paquette's names did not appear in the
initially aired episodes at all. Subsequent episodes ran with a tiny "inspired by" credit which
flashed by during the closing scroll.
Tuesday's ruling by Judge Martin states that this is unacceptable. "The problem with this solution
is that the 'Created by' credit appears at the very beginning of the show almost an hour earlier,"
Martin wrote. "It is not reasonable to believe that viewers dashing to get to the refrigerator
between television shows will give the same attention to the credits at the end of the show as they
do to those at the beginning. Thus, the defendants' actions, while an improvement, do not solve
the problem of consumer confusion."
The ruling orders that, if the show is to air, Fox must insert an "inspired by" credit in the opening
credits. The new card would be inserted immediately after the "written by" credit. The ruling
allows a created by credit for Carter to appear earlier in the opening sequence.
While it's not exactly what Hudnall and Paquette hoped for, the injunction is a first-round victory in
what is likely to be a long legal process. While Carter and Fox maintained that the credits were
appropriate in regards to the regulations set forth by the Writers' Guild of America, Judge Martin
ruled that the network's agreement with the guild is no defense for violating federal laws. Quoting
the same authority that the defendants' cited, the ruling reads, "the 'reproduction of a work with a
false representation as to its creator' could support a finding of false designation [of] origin where
the defendant failed to credit the original creator."
The suit also spotlights inconsistencies in the WGA's handling of the issue. WGA rules forbid
awarding a "created by" credit when source material exists. The Harsh Realm TV show is
obviously an example of something developed from source material. The court ruling solidifies the
claim that the comic is the source material for the show. If the WGA continues to allow Carter to
hold the "created by" credit, it would seem to be in violation of the WGA's own regulations.
Paquette tells C2F that, while the victory is very encouraging the "inspired by" credit is still short of
what he and Hudnall want. "In the industry, an 'inspired by' credit is not really worth all that much.
An 'inspired by' is typically given to people who have no business in 'the business' and who have
no future prospects in 'the business' either."
Paquette suggested the 'inspired by' credit would typically be awarded to a concept exchanged
during something like a casual, coffee-shop conversation. Conversely a 'based on' implies much
more substantial source material. "There's a huge difference between having six published
issues of a comic book series, that we're paid for as source material, and a coffee-shop
conversation."
As stated earlier, the injunction is just the first ruling in the ongoing suit. There are still issues
concerning the creators receiving fair compensation for their creation. In a previous interview,
Paquette told C2F that he and Hudnall were only collecting $625 apiece for each episode of the
show.
Paquette told us that he expects the suit to continue for "a hell-of-a long time, primarily because
I've got no intention of giving up."
"I don't like dishonesty in any form," Paquette assures us, "and I am perfectly willing to sacrifice
money for that principal."

Harsh Realm Is Still Cancelled
The creators of Harsh Realm have won their case!
Writer James Hudnall and artist Andrew Paquette have won their lawsuit against Fox and Chris
Carter over creator credits on Harsh Realm. Carter created it, it ran 3 episodes, then it was
unceremoniously yanked from the air by Fox.
The credits will now read " INSPIRED BY THE COMIC SERIES 'HARSH REALM' CREATED
BY JAMES D. HUDNALL AND ANDREW PAQUETTE, PUBLISHED BY HARRIS COMICS"
after the "Written By" screen in the opening credits.
Six episodes that no one has seen yet, in addition to the original three (for you math majors out
there, that's nine total) will be shown on FX, Fox's cable channel. Fox will have to redo the
credits on those shows. The score now reads Little Guy 1, Big Networks something like 2
zillion.

Search engine Google sets sights on video
By Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY
Internet search giant Google's next target: video.
Monday night, Google (GOOG) introduced a test site that searches closed-caption TV show transcripts (www.google.com/video).
What the site won't let you do is locate specific video clips, even though some smaller video search engines offer that. Google says clips will come in the next version. (Related: You are the everything? Google hires Firefox engineer)
Rival Yahoo (YHOO) countered Google's Monday announcement by saying it would incorporate closed-caption transcripts at its test site video.search.yahoo.com by the end of February. Yahoo said it also will add searchable news video clips — currently unavailable.
Google is working with transcripts from ABC, PBS, C-Span and Fox News.
As more video goes online, the ability to search for it is the next frontier, Internet search analysts say.
"Wherever the information exists, we want to get it to the user," says Google Vice President Jonathan Rosenberg. "Last year, we introduced tools to find it on the (computer) hard drive and in e-mail. Now, it's video."
Users of Google Video can search for a phrase — say, Bill Cosby discussing parenting — and find a link to PBS' Tavis Smiley talk show. They will get a snippet of text, plus a visual from the show, a link to PBS.org and listings of show air times.
Danny Sullivan, editor of the SearchEngineWatch online newsletter, thinks many Net surfers will be disappointed with Google's service.
That's because, he says, they'll be expecting links to video clips — what they can get now with smaller video search engines Blinkx.tv and America Online-owned SingingFish.com.
Video clips of scripted TV shows aren't available for searching because of copyright issues.
Much of the video on the Web comes from news organizations.
CNN and ABC News charge for watching most clips, while CBS, PBS and NBC offer theirs free. British broadcasters have lots of free video, as well, searchable via the Blinkx.tv site.
C-Span CEO Brian Lamb says he's delighted to get his public service programming out to more people through Google.
"By making our material searchable, users can put their finger on exactly what they want," he says.
Meanwhile, Google dismissed reports Monday from London that the Internet giant was looking to expand into Internet phone calls.
Internet phone use is in the early stages of development, by such companies as Skype and Vonage, and lets anyone with a headset and Internet connection make low-cost calls from their computer.
"This doesn't fit in, in any way, with Google's mission of organizing the world's information," Sullivan says.
