Subject: B5 Sat Feed comments (some from JMS)

J. Michael Straczynski made a couple of comments on GEnie in regard to what
was shown in the sat feed promo. First, the voice of the Minbari ambassador
is not how it will end up in the actual movie. That apparently is an interim
version of the Minbari voice (although most of the people who I showed the
promo to this weekend liked it the way it was in the promo).
Some of the scenes shown were not really things Joe would have picked (since
they do give away some of the plot, especially the scene with G'Kar and Delenn
and the one with the explosion).
A couple of other notes not directly related to the promo: The Cambot is not
called that in the show. That's what the designer called it when Starlog was
getting info for the article. When Joe saw the article and the name given the
robot, he had a talk with the designer since Joe knew about Cambot in
Mystery Science Theatre 3000.
The latest issue of Writer's Digest (issue on "Breaking into Hollywood") has
a major article on the subject by JMS, including a surprising picture of him
when he was a starving writer (weighing about 150 pounds).

Subject: "babylon 5" satellite promo
Heard this was the right address to post to the list --
hope I was right ....
I'm incredibly interested in seeing the half-hour promo,
but I don't have satellite capabilities. If anyone out
there taped this and can make me a good copy, I'd really
appreciate it if they would send me mail to arrange shipping
terms, etc. Thanks in advance.
