[scifinoir2] 'Terminator 2' Shape-Shifting Lawsuit Moves Forward
http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1507676/story.jhtml According to a claim by two Australian filmmakers, the shape-shifting T-1000 featured in Terminator 2: Judgment Day was based on a character they'd invented for an earlier movie. After years of legal battles, a federal appeals court in Los Angeles ruled Monday that the couple's lawsuit against Terminator 2 co-writer and director James Cameron can proceed. Filia and Constantinos Kourtis' lawsuit maintains that the idea for the T-1000 portrayed in the movie by actor Robert Patrick was lifted from a screenplay they'd commissioned back in 1987 for their film The Minotaur, The Associated Press reports. The Kourtises hired scribe William Green to pen the screenplay for The Minotaur, according to the suit, which also alleges that Green shared the script with Cameron. Green claims he owned the screenplay's copyright, and subsequently sued Cameron for copyright infringement years after the theatrical release of T2, the AP reports. That suit was later dismissed, and was followed in 1998 by a suit against Green filed by the Kourtises. An Australian court found for the couple, designating the Kourtises as the script's rightful owners. Not long after, the couple focused their claim on Cameron, filing a suit seeking attribution and compensation for the unlawful use of their form-changing concept. That suit was eventually dismissed on the grounds that William Green's earlier action barred them from filing their own action against the director. That decision was appealed, and this week, the Kourtises came one step closer to their day in court. A panel of judges ruled that the couple's lack of involvement in the initial suit brought by Green had no bearing on their case, and that the action should go forward. The AP was unable to reach Cameron's production company for comment on the court's decision. Visit Movies on MTV.com for more from Hollywood, including news, interviews, trailers and more.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!
Well, I try not to let my SUV speed-LOL I would need to take out a mortgage for gas if I did. Luckily I work pretty close to home. I think next time around I will do a more economy friendly vehicle-maybe. I live in Michigan and I used to always be stuck in the snow somewhere. I tell you the winter after I got my SUV, I got stuck, slid into a ditch, pulled out-on my own and still made it to work with time to spare! I do not know my blood type, I need to ask my doctor. I have actually done amazingly well as a vegetarian-a choice I made for strictly health reasons. I happen to believe a cow has no great purpose other than steak or hamburgers, etc. I quit pretty much cold turkey. I had been thinking about being a vegetarian for awhile, but did not want the extra work of planning meals carefully, was not sure about giving up meat. Then I had a hamburger one night and decided it was my last-and it was, but it has only been 6 months now. I thought it would be horrible, but I decided right from the beginning that if I wanted to eat meat I would and I have been tempted but have found that if I crave meat it usually means I am not getting enough protein. It is challenging for me to get enough protein in my diet. I drastically cut my dairy consumption but not gotten rid of it because it is a quick easy source of protein for me. I am not a big fan of beans so that was a challenge as well. I am also busy and most vegetarian cookbooks call for lots of complicated cooking. So, I joined SoulFood vegetarian MSN group and borrowed a teens guide to vegetarian cooking from the library. I feel better, sleep better, have less headaches and stomache aches-it was a good choice for me. I also eat more fresh food, alot less processed food and rarely eat out-which has helped me to save money. lois M C Jennings [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 20 seems to be a good score, considering mine!!!

RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!
Had a bad week for some reason. It may because I had to be at work at 5 am three days out of the last five, doing five-hour server upgrades each time. I was too tired to workout like I needed, yet my schedule kept me from eating well (I usuallly take time to prepare breakfast, lunch, and snacks to eat at work so I avoid the pitfuls of eating out). So I'd get home tired yet hyper, pissed off, and hungry. Next thing I know I'm downing ice cream shakes. I've polished off three gallons of ice cream in the last week. So I'll be hitting the road about 7 in the am tomorrow to run off some of the calories I picked up. It's amazing how one can be biochemically configured to respond favorably to various smells or tastes. I consider myself to be very disciplined, but ice cream is a true weakness. I also have an amazing reaction to the smell and taste of vanilla. Give me a vanilla bean pod and I'm like a cat with catnip. I probably drop two tablespoons of vanilla extract into each milkshake I make.The smell has an amazing affect. The same with the smell of roses for me. -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Astromancer Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 14:22 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!

Everyone expresses surprise at how little meat I eat. I workout a great deal and always seem to have high energy. A few years ago when this weight consisted of more fat (now it's hopefully more muscle with a little fat left) I went cold-turkey vegan for three months. Though I missed the barbecue, Mexican food (beef), and ham with my pancakes, I did surprisingly well. My wife, however, had a terrible time. She could barely last two weeks, and was always craving meat. It wasn't until much later that you and others made me aware of the whole blood type thing. I'm type AB, which according to that Web site you (?) posted, doesn't need much meat. Indeed, AB needs to stay away from a wide range of meat and dairy products. -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M C Jennings Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 14:25 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!
