+<li><b>September 5, 2007:</b> <em>Was the New York scene a tribute to
+	"The Fifth Element?"</em>
+	<p>
+	No. It comes from visiting New York many times.
+
+<li><b>September 5, 2007:</b> <em>Why didn't Warner Bros. give the project
+	a bigger budget? Every B5 project has exceeded their sales forecasts
+	but they continue to do "trial runs" of everything.</em>
+	<p>
+	The problem with any studio is that they're terrified of losing money
+	on something, anything, so they hedge their bets...they don't give the
+	ad money you want because they're afraid sales won't support it, and
+	end p with a self-fulfilling prophecy more times than not.
+	<p>
+	Your appraisal of the situation with WB is spot on.
+	<p>
+	However, despite this, they are most pleased as sales have been
+	several orders of magnitude beyond what they anticipated.
+	<p>
+	More on this when I know more about what this actually *means*.

+<li><b>August 8, 2007:</b> <em>The CGI of Lochley's quarters look fake; for
+	example, the lamps look cut-and-pasted. The hallways looked like
+	illustrations in a magazine.</em>
+	<p>
+	Lochley's quarters were real, we shot against a real wall (you can see
+	it in some of the behind-the-scenes footage where I point to it).
+	<p>
+	The lamps were also real.
+	<p>
+	The hallway she walks down is also real. Again, you can see it in the
+	behind the scenes material.

 <li><b>August 6, 2007:</b> <em>How did Galen know what was going to happen
 	in the future? What did he really hope to achieve?</em>
