<giggy33> hard to shooot the bathtub scene in the queen ep

angelbacchae » First of all, thank you to both of you being with us tonight! While shooting Lexx, were there some particular scenes that you will remember for the rest of your lives?
<giggy33> i will remember all my scenes with brian seriously
<giggy33> loved having his arms wrapped around my chest



<Bluestar> I understand that you are both going to TD Con in Vancouver this summer. With Xenia and Michael attending too, it is going to be sort of a Lexx cast reunion. Are you looking forward to that?
<thaidowney> It will be the tenth aniversary of the first broadcast of Lexx.
<giggy33> wow tenth!
<giggy33> happy anniversary bri



lubka> doesn't it seem to you that the greater part of the ironic and somewhat exhalted attitude towards sci-fi was left in the last century, and that the modern approach to the subject cannot be called anything but a "cynically tired" one... as if they were taking advantage the artistic finds, trends, and discoveriesmade in the 90's. The true sci-fi where everything is possible has become just a mass of space movies with tons of visual effects and a minimum o
<giggy33> i agree sci fi has changed drastically for the worst
<giggy33> worse - very predicable
<giggy33> we don't have the vision of very many paul donovan's



<ILyekkaKai> for Brian.... Brian, made any New Year resolutions
<thaidowney> - ilyekka, don't make New Year;s resoultions!
<thaidowney> so far, I've broken them three times
<giggy33> i make my resolutions before new years so there is no pressure
<ILyekkaKai> Brian...a wise man you are
<thaidowney> The entire objective is to not EVER try to do something that you would think other people find difficult
<thaidowney> In other words...
<thaidowney> Be lazy!
<thaidowney> It works!
<gela> true


<Ketana> have you been approached by Timeless destinations to do their convention yet Brian?

Cesare> Brian: Well, if you HAD to direct a Lexx ep, for example - what part of the job would you dread the most?



<Goryn> watson> warm greetings from Estonia
<giggy33> hi estonia
<giggy33> i was in estonia for a day this summer


KendalLittleWol » Ellen Why has Sci Fi changed for the worse?
<giggy33> i just think alot of the storylines are predicable- lexx was so unique the planets the humour
<giggy33> the ideas
<Angel> Lexx was original, sexy, humorous, that's why I loved it so much.
<scifisuzi> exactly
<giggy33> the characters
<thaidowney> It's very difficult to find a unique story
<giggy33> if you don't care about the characters then it doesn't matter how many things you blow up
<thaidowney> It's even more difficult to find a story that's interesting to tell in a unique way!
<giggy33> or how much you spout sci fi jargon - have to care about the people and what they are fighting for
<thaidowney> for instance, The making of Lexx Season 3
<Angel> Lexx did that, Brian, it was amazing, sad, funny, creative, I've not seen anything that can compare to it.
<thaidowney> Ellen delivers one of my favorite quotes on Lexx
<Angel> Waste of skin?
<giggy33> love saying waste of skin
<Angel> That's my favorite quote of Ellen's as giggy, I say it all the time
<giggy33> waste of skin



<Bluestar> Brian and Ellen, how did you spend your holidays?
<giggy33> spent holidays with family eating watching movies- quiet the way i like it


<Zevalicious> reposting, got lost in the shuffle:Brian: Well, if you HAD to direct a Lexx ep, for example - what part of the job would you dread the most?
<thaidowney> Most directors will tell you less Is more
<giggy33> yes bri so true
<thaidowney> On Lexx - more is not enough!
<giggy33> yup more is not enough
<scifisuzi> lol
<giggy33> on lexx
<giggy33> we loved that


lubka> Going back to the subject of Midsummer's Nightmare (lexx 4.11), which one of Shakespeare's roles would you like to play or maybe had ever dreamt to play in the past? Hamlet doesn't count
<giggy33> love to play lady Macbeth, Hermione in a winter's tale
<giggy33> would love to have been in taht ep
<thaidowney> Goryn, I've done my share of Shakespeare
<thaidowney> Not done by kenneth Branagh!
<giggy33> god not KB
<thaidowney> Nope


Dreams_of_Kai » When you guys first did Lexx did you think there would be so many die hard fans ten years later?
<giggy33> nope never had a clue
<giggy33> never had a clue
<giggy33> so so happy that this keeps taking off
<giggy33> we were very dedicated working on the show
<giggy33> brian especially
Angel> And Lexx is still bringing in the fans to this Day, Ellen. It's amazing to see so many interested still.
<thaidowney> It only works when you have a very fine director
<giggy33> yup the show is timeless
<Angel> Very apt description of it.
<thaidowney> Left as it is, not attempted to be updated
<giggy33> yup fine directors help but so does a cast with amazing chemistry and dedication
<giggy33> and writing
<giggy33> have to have great writing
<giggy33> or nothing will really work well
<Angel> And they did, great, funny, twisted, demented, wonderful.
<giggy33> love twisted and demented


<Bluestar> Brian and Ellen, how did you spend your holidays?
<Zevalicious> i think that one got answered, gela


LexxMan{RUSSIA}> Ellen and Brian! Tell us about your favorite music, please
<giggy33> love old time rock and roll
<giggy33> blues
<giggy33> musicals



Cesare » Brian and Ellen: Of all the planets that appeared or were mentioned throughout the Lexx series... Which one would you like to visit?
<giggy33> which was the planet with the chess game briaN?
<giggy33> loved that one
<thaidowney> I'm still waiting for the bus to Centauri Five!
<Angel> That was the other zone in the game, filmed in iceland I recall.
<thaidowney> I have my own copy of Hitchhiker's Guide
<giggy33> loved that ep

<giggy33> ah that is why
<thaidowney> That episode we were told...
<thaidowney> would be done second unit
<thaidowney> and were told it would take five or six days
<thaidowney> our art director David Hackal said he needed SIX MONTHS to prepare
<gela> aww....
<giggy33> wow
<thaidowney> in the end we spent more time shooting the game...
<thaidowney> than any other episode on Lexx
<giggy33> how many days?
<thaidowney> days???
<thaidowney> you're talking about days??
<giggy33> how many days did it take to shoot?
<thaidowney> try weeks honey...
<giggy33> wow
<thaidowney> try months...
<Zevalicious> it was worth it, though, it was one of the best Eps of season 4
<thaidowney> we didn't ever finish the story boards
<giggy33> you have got to be kidding brian
<giggy33> wow



<scifisuzi> Ellen and Brian - you have traveled to different locations to shoot Lexx, which was your favorite and why?
<giggy33> THAILAND

<Angel> It was funny when the mummy came in...
<Ketana> made me laugh out loud
<thaidowney> angel, that guy was actually that tall
<thaidowney> the most patient guy we could have hoped for!
<Angel> Wow, it was funny when he came into the room, and I loved Kai's speech he gave about drago.

<thaidowney> He walked around with his arm bandaged to his side
<Ketana> do you remember what Hotel it was in Las Vegas?

<thaidowney> New York is called Bangkok is called the big mango



KendalLittleWol » Ellen, have you thought about trying out for the L Word?
<giggy33> haven't been up for L word yet - like it though
KendalLittleWol » Who on the L Word would you like to play opposite of?
<giggy33> i would like to take them all on kendal
<giggy33> mia kirchener - the litle black haired gal


<Zevalicious> did anyone have a question that didnt get answered yet?
<giggy33> please ask away


watson> if you plan a any conversation in 2006?
<gela> yes I had a nearly similar question from bluestar: Brian, do you know of any new plans for a convention in Newfoundland?
<giggy33> hope to do another chat at some point


Cesare » Brian and Ellen: Speaking of Viva Lexx Vegas - a SF con is briefly mentioned in that ep. What do you think would happen if the Lexx crew really ended up at some SF convention by accident? How many trekkies and gaters would die?
<giggy33> hilarious question cesare - i would eat everyone so i would do the con myself hee hee hee
<Angel> LMAO!!
<Angel> Go you girl!
<PeaceMarauder> That's it, I'm sooooo there
<PeaceMarauder> "I got ate by Gigerotta and all I got was this stinkin' TShirt"
<Angel> Cesare » Giggy: Who do you think would taste better? Vulcans or Klingons?
<Angel> LOLOL
<giggy33> i would take them both on angel
Ellen: Would you really like to visit a Planet of Milk Fed Boys
<giggy33> yes milk fed boys and men yes

<giggy33> nope only like to eat real food not people
<giggy33> thanks angel
<thaidowney> Gil Hurman, the original milk fed boy, did props on The Conclave



<Goryn> Can you say first airing dates of Lexx was exactly (when the first saga IWHS has been shown on TV first time)? It would be interesting to know, when we can celebrate 10 years.
<giggy33> don't remember the exact original air date do you brian?
<giggy33> it played on city tv in canada first and showtime in the
US then all over the world
<Goryn> is it was 1996?
Eleen: IMDB says 1997 for the Lexx Movies (Tales...)
<giggy33> yes just wne to imdb too but no exact date



Dreams_of_Kai » So do either one of you do Thai cooking now?
<giggy33> one of my new years resolutions is to take a thai cooking class
<giggy33> i do go out to eat alot and eat thai food
KendalLittleWol » Ellen, I know who to cook Thai, I'll teach you!
<giggy33> thanks kendal


[3:08pm] <gela> ok I repost this: : Brian, do you know of any new plans for a convention in Newfoundland?
<thaidowney> Nope, sorry


<Angel> Ellen, question from me, did you do anything in particular in preparing yourself for the role of Giggy?
<giggy33> i researched about cannibalism so i could spoof it
<Angel> You made a very convincing cannibal and a very strong woman character.
<giggy33> i created a special type of movement for giggy- as an ex ballet dancer i decided not to be lightfooted
<giggy33> but heavier with my movements more aggressive
<giggy33> the wig and costume that was padded helped immensly
<giggy33> as well as how gross the head was on tthe back of the outfit
<Zevalicious> that was a nice touch
<giggy33> and the fact that the costume was based on an autopsy body
<Angel> You did a wonderful job, next to Xev, she's my favorite female character.
<giggy33> thanks angel
<giggy33> fun to create something from teh beginning


<Angel> And Brian, how was it working with Paul on the conclave and also with Rolf after all these years.

Thanks for the log, Maya!

Bummer they didn't really answer my cast reunion question, I would have liked to know if they are looking forward to that

Anyways, the chat was fun as always. Brian and Ellen make a great team don't they? Seems they are really fond of each other.
