I had a request to start a blog where you could weigh in on thoughts about a movie based on The Merchant of Death and to discuss casting. This isn’t to say that a movie is imminent. It isn’t. But I’m working with some folks to develop one now, so you never know. (Just don’t hold your breath!)
So, here’s the blog. Have fun.

@ EelongCatfolk
That’s so cool! The only dreams I ever have and remember, make next to no sense. I mean, not even close to normal. There just… random. And weird. What’s also weird is, I remember a bunch of dreams I have when I was really little, but I can’t remember any I have now…
@ SilverMisty and Courtney
Yeah, he was giving the most random nicknames to people, apparently I am Maggie Mouse… At first I was mammoth but I said, “I’m fat and hairy?! Aw.” And then Will said, “Ok… Your Maggie… Mouse. Now your small and hairy.” Lol.
@ GOCLORAL
My moms that way to. She yelled at me yesterday because I wanted to be in acting 1 instead of acting 2, and she got mad because the first one is a different time. There both on different nights though… And I have other classes before both, and then she told me that she never wanted me to be in the ballet theater. Which was really hurtful because I worked my butt off for a year to get into this… Yeah. Sorry, I talk a lot.
EelongCatfolk says:
@Batu Warrior
Don’t worry about how much you talk ^-^ It doesn’t matter here. We all talk a lot. Anyway, I’m sure your mom didn’t mean what she said. Sometimes parents just say things that they don’t really mean.
Courtney Chetwynde says:
@batuwarrior
Eelong catfolk is right about parents saying things that they dont mean.
Also ahh thats cute about the whole nickname thing
Lol i git my crush mad at me yesterday ans i finally got him to talk to me only after we got into a paprerball fight……
Robert Pendragon says:
I’ll teach tomorrow.Actually i am just handing out worksheets my group is teaching.
SilverMisty says:
Happy Valentine’s Day <3
gotta go b/c I have tests tomorrow!
Hope you guys all have a great day 🙂
Batu Warrior says:
@ Robert Pendragon
Have fun 🙂
@ SilverMisty
Good luck on your tests!
Robert Pendragon says:
It got cancelled…
SilverMisty says:
@Robert Pendragon: at least now you have time to make it the best! 🙂 good luck!
tip: try to make it entertaining if you can b/c all students like some fun in their lesson
@Batu Warrior: Thanks!
mice aren’t hairy, but lol 🙂 reminds me of Mickey/Minnie Mouse…zipadee-doo-da…
anyways, if I were you and he said that I was “Maggie Mammoth”, I would ask Will if that makes him “Willie the Wooly Mammoth” haha. that was random.
or maybe he could be “Free Willie”…
how’s your dance company thing going along?
SilverMisty says:
@Batu Warrior: I meant that your nickname—“Maggie Mouse”—reminds me of Mickey/Minnie Mouse. cute nickname 🙂
Holly says:
Hey guys! I haven’t been on since a while! Been busy with soccer, school and stuff 😀
GOCLORAL says:
I have to admit. This is kind of sad. I leave for two days, and you guys haven’t even started a new page! I remember when I would leave for a few hours, and a two new pages would be up. Those were the good days!
SilverMisty says:
@Courtney: lol 🙂
Do you know the song “How To Save A Life” by The Fray? Well…my friend forgot the title and thought that it was called “Where Did I Go Wrong”. So after she sang those words(Where did I go wrong?), I told her: “In the title.” 😀
@Flume of Doom: Bert could hear the thugs’ heavy footsteps right behind him as he hurriedly climbed.
“Shoot.” he said to himself. “Giddy-up, Bert. You’re almost there.”
Once he reached the opening in the ceiling, he hoisted himself through…
and found that he was in the middle of nowhere.
I have more…but I’m still sort of busy, so I’ll post more tomorrow.
@Holly: glad you’re back 🙂 how’s soccer?
@gocloral: ditto 🙂 can’t wait for summer, right?
SilverMisty says:
@gocloral: NEW PAGE! 😛
Batu Warrior says:
@ SilverMisty
On my first class for the ballet theater last Saturday, we learned a dance to “Imagine” by John Lennon. It’s one of my favorite dances, I’ve seen it before a couple times, and it’s even more fun dancing. Oh my gosh Will stared at me all through rehearsal tonight, and of course, I had just done pointe and placement classes, the hardest ones, so my hair was all messed up from my bun, and I was all sweaty haha.
Batu Warrior says:
@ GOCLORAL
Haha I remember that. I remember how we used to have these long posts just to get back to everything everyone was saying, and then I would put up more posts about how I posted a lot.
Flume of Doom says:
…In the middle of Nowhere…
“What in the Name of the LAW?!” Saith Bert in not exactly what you would call a calm voice. There were cacti and sagebrush growing around him, so he figgured he was still in the West somewhere. Somewhere that probably didn’t count as Somewhere on any of the maps, all things considered. He walked a while, and then, hearing a strange sound from behind him, he turned around, pulling his antique and rather large shotgun out of his belt, and then saw the sand being whisked off of some sort of stone circle by the wind. “Well that’s unusual…” he muttered. Then he replaced the shotgun and pulled out Woody. “What do you have to say about this, chum?” He asked (and then pulled the string)
The metallic little voice replied “Someone’s poisoned the watering hole!”
“What the devil is that sposed to mean?” Asked Bert, and then he pulled the string again.
“You’re my favorite deputy.” Saith Woody.
Bert sneered at the doll’s sarcastic remark, and then walked over to look at the stone circle.
EelongCatfolk says:
@Batu Warrior & GOCLORAL
Good times, good times XD lol
@Batu Warrior
I like SilverMisty’s idea, when he calls you “Maggie Mouse”, you should call him “Free Willie.” See how he reacts lol And Will staring at you means he’s PLANNING YOUR DEMISE!!! XD jk It could mean more, but it means at least that he knows you’re there ^-^
@SilverMisty
I’m actually split on how I feel about summer. I want it to be here now, because (if I get accepted) it means I’d be going to college, but I don’t want it to come just yet BECAUSE it means I’d be going to college. It’s making me rather anxious. On one hand, I’m excited to be getting out of the house and off to college, but on the other, I’m not quite ready to leave. You know what I mean?
@Holly
Welcome back ^-^
Batu Warrior says:
@ Eelong Catfolk
BUT I LIKE LIVING!!!!!!!! Lol. I should call him free Willie haha 😀
Courtney Chetwynde says:
@baruwarrior haha ya u should.
@eelong carfolk
Haha i get what you mean about being stuck between wanting to go to colloge and stayin here u r.

GOCLORAL says:
@ Batu Warrior
I LOVE that song!!! But I didn’t know who it was by until today when I read a book about the Beatles for a research paper.
@ Eelong Catfolk
Well, why don’t you just get a lap top and get on from there. That’s what I do when I can’t get on the computer. Except I’m not in college.
Vo Spader says:
This would be awesome, Id love to watch my adventures on the bigscreen 🙂
SilverMisty says:
@Vo Spader: lol 🙂 I would too.
@Batu Warrior: that’s great! (about the dance to “Imagine”) I bet Will was thinking: “Maggie Mouse turned out to be this really amazing dancer…” haha 🙂
(it’s like you said, remember? The girl who dances amazingly well…that Will is glad to be friends with)
@EelongCatFolk: I get what you mean…(I’m going to be in that same situation after you) it’s pretty exciting but you don’t want to leave just yet. There’s this whole new adventure in front of you…and at the same time you don’t really feel ready.
I’m pretty sure you’ll get accepted…you seem like a great person…what college wouldn’t want to accept you? haha 🙂
anyways, hope you still keep in touch with your Pendragon blog buddies here 🙂
give us a heads up on what college is like!
Batu Warrior says:
@ SilverMisty, Courtney Chetwynde, and Eelong Catfolk
If he calls me Maggie Mouse, I probably will.
@ Eelong Catfolk
I’ve always been that way. I hate getting older, because the fact of growing up and going to college scares me… I always tell people I want to be ten forever, which is the best age ever. And SilverMisty is right, what college wouldn’t except you? Oh yeah, and don’t forget to tell us what college is like!! I would totally be, like, depressed or something if you stopped posting! Of course you’ll be busy and all, but just every once in a while 🙂
SilverMisty says:
@Flume of Doom: “What in the world is this?” Bert asked himself as he inspected the stone circle.
A variety of symbols were carved into the stone, forming a ring.
At the very heart of the stone circle, there was a glass dome.
Its crystals sparkled in the sunlight, reflecting a vivid spectrum of colors that swirled into a halo above it.
Entranced by the beautiful rainbow of light, Bert cast aside any doubtful thoughts and stepped into the circle.
Suddenly, a flame ignited from the spot where Bert’s foot stepped into the circle. The flames continued to spread around the border of the circle, creating an enormous ring of fire.
Bert was trapped.
SilverMisty says:
@Batu Warrior: then I hope he calls you that at least once, then you get to call him “free willie” 🙂
Holly says:
@silvermisy
Thanks. Soccers good. Doing indoor untill spring season starts up again!
@eelongcatfolk
I understand how you feel. But my sister is in college now and my brother already graduated from college and you enjoy it, but you have to be prepared and study a lot. It won’t be bad! 😀
EelongCatfolk says:
@Everyone
Of course I won’t stop posting here! You’re all like my second family.
And thanks for all your kind words ^-^ They really mean a lot to me. I’ll be sure to let you all know how I’m doing when I get there lol For now, I’ll be working my butt off getting everything ready to go XD
Flume of Doom says:
Trapped, thought Crazy Bert O Brian. Like a mouse in a vaccum cleaner.
“What the devil is a VACCUM CLEANER!” Bert shouted at the Omniscient Narrator….
Anyway, as there wasn’t much else to do, Bert pulled out Woody for a round of Twenty Questions.
Bert: “What do you do if there is a wooly mammoth chasing you?”
Woody: “Run like the Wind, Bullseye!”
Bert: “Good. Why do you never borrow shoes form politicians?”
Woody: “There’s a SNAKE in my boot.”
GOCLORAL says:
@ Flume of Doom
That’s really funny!
@ all kids going to college
My oldest brother is going to college. I’m going to miss him and I bet when ya’ll go, you won’t be able to get on as much. I think we’re all gona` miss ya. ( and yes I did say ‘ya’ll’. I am from the south.)
Flume of Doom says:
(Continued)
Bert:”Precisely. Why don’t we drink the medicine that the doctor gives us?”
Woody: “Somebody’s poisoned the watering hole!”
Bert: “Right again. What do you do when the police catch you stealing kids’ milk money?”
Woody: “REACH FOR THE SKY!”
Bert: “Geez, how’d you get so good at this? Maybe I should just give up before it’s your turn.”
Woody: “You’re my favorite deputy!”
Bert: “Yeah, I know. Now you should try to catch some shuteye while I try to figure out a way out of this mess.”
And Bert stuffed Woody back down his pants.
“Eew, did you see that?” Came a little boy’s voice, “That scary man just shoved the poor…dwarf thing down his trousers!”
“Yeah… Barbaric to say the LEAST!” Came another similar voice.
Bert was startled by the voices. He turned and made “binoculars” with his hands to try to get a better view.
There was a rock formation a ways off, and there, sticking over the rocks, were the tops of at least a dozen various cowboy hats. He could hear them muttering among themselves, and cupped his ear to afford himself higher fidelity audio.
“These…people are just so uncivilized!” Said one of the voices.
“Uncivilized Indeed.” said a different voice, “Let’s just go and rob him before he figures out how to break the binding!”
“IF…” added another, “That is IF he figures it out. Some of these bums are not really that smart if you know what I mean. He could be stuck there for weeks.”
“Come on, Max, let’s just rob him already. I need some money to get more vitamin water!” Put in another.
Crazy Bert was quite disturbed that he might be robbed, but the even more disturbing thing was that all of the voices sounded like those of children. “All right, gang,” said the voice of what appeared to be a young girl, “It’s time for crime!”
Courtney Chetwynde says:
@everyone thats talking about college
Lol college doesnt scare me at all. Im on a campus twice a week at night taking my math class. The college near me offers a gifted math class for middle and highschools studdents. U usually take the entrance exam when ur in 6th and then start in 7th. I took the exam when i was in 5th and then started when i was in 6th. Anyways the university thats near me is litterally my second school i have a college id provIng it!!
SilverMisty says:
@EelongCatFolk: ditto 🙂 thanks—I’m sure you’re like second family to us, too.
don’t want to let senioritis get to you…we still have to work hard—“no pain, no gain” right? haha 😀 hard work always pays off in the end.
anyways, now it’s all about making the most out of your last year of high school!
“Stay gold!”
@Holly: great! 🙂
@gocloral: I’ve met so many great ppl here who I’m glad to call friends. I won’t stop posting here when I go to college later, either. 🙂
@Courtney: haha:) it’s great that the university is like your second school.
I don’t really think that it’s that we’re scared, it’s just that we’re anxious about what college is like and how our life there is going to turn out—since we’re actually going to experience it for ourselves rather than having our friends tell us about what it’s like.
Anyways, I think the most important thing is to make the best out of our school years while we can, no matter what grade we’re in. 😀
Courtney Chetwynde says:
Wow im stupid, its my fitu time reading the 5th book blafk water and this is the first time ive noticed that yorn mentions finding gunnys hand when ik st dane did…
victoria says:
i really hope they make a movie but it would be really hard because of the bagining of the book its a flashback so i really hope they figure something out
Robert Pendragon says:
That dwarf thing has a name pal its…Objection! I claim insanity!
Flume of Doom says:
“Insanity?” Asked the young highwayman (Or more like highway-little-girl as it were)
“Yes.” Answered Bert Quite severely.
“And what does THAT have to do with anything you ignorant slob?!” Asked one of the henchmen (which looked to Bert more like a deformed cabbage patch kid with a cowboy hat and a gun that probably weighed more than the kid’s whole family.)
“You can’t rob me!” Replied Bert, “I’m psycotic!”
“I’ll give you that!” Said Max “But one would expect you to see the advantage in being robbed by US…rather than… (BRING OUT JOHNNY WHITEFEATHER!) …HIM!”
A few of the kids were holding onto a rope which at the business end was tied a half naked savage man with long black greasy hair and a face that made you think someone should be going on a trip to the Rabies clinic.
“That there’s Johnny Whitefeather.” said one of the kids.
“Yeah. He’s gonna skin ya and it’s gonna feel literal!” said another.
Bert watched in horror as the savage reared up on it’s hind legs, and howled…”THERE’s turtles that live INSIDE their shells…and TURTLES that live OUTside thier shells! LAFF LAFF LAFF!”
One of the kids pulled out a bag and threw a piece of bloody liver on the ground in front of Johnny Whitefeather. “EAT.” Saith the kid.
To which the Rabid savage willingly obliged.
“You see…” said Max “Our mutual friend here is insane too. He also has a little problem with his eyesight, which sometimes causes him to mistake human beans for raw liver.”
“AAAHHH! RAAAWW LIIVVEER!” Howled the Whitefeather.
GOCLORAL says:
Man, ya’ll are really good writers. Let me try something. FYI I’m not very good at writing but, I’m gonna try.
My family is dead. Everyone I know is dead, and it’s all because of me.
“Are you dead? Mister? Mister?” a voice next to me asked. Is that a kid?
“WHAT?” I snapped.
“Yeesh. Why are you so crabby?” A kid. Definatly a kid. A girl? A girl.
“Look kid. It’s not the best idea to hang around me. Why don’t you just run on home?”
“I can’t.”
“And why is that?” I asked.
“I don’t have a home. Or parents.” No parents? Not possible.
“Why do you say that?” I asked as I started getting up. “What’s your name?
“I don’t have one. What about you?” She asked.
“I don’t have one either. How about we name each other? I’m gonna name you… Janet.”
“Janet. Okay, you’re Whinnie. As in Whinnie the Poo.”
“Listen Janet. People have died because of me. I don’t think having a name like Whinnie wouldn’t suit me.”
“It’s Whinnie!”
“Fine. Whatever you say Janet.” I don’t think I’ll be stuck with this name much longer. She’ll be dead soon.
GOCLORAL says:
Whoops, I meant would in line 18. Again, I’m not a very good writer but, still, It’s something.
Flume of Doom says:
Are they in an insane asylum?
Or the Matrix?!
Jordan Galle says:
I just wanted to post this up here, if only to quell people’s hearts. I myself am studying to be a filmmaker right now. That path has already been set for me; it’s more a matter of when, not if. That being said, I really have wanted nothing more than the opportunity, nay, the honor of working on making these films possible.
Pendragon fans, if it is not made by the time I have entered into the ranks of Hollywood, I promise to find some way of creating a tribute to this fantastical story. If given such an opportunity, I also promise that the film would not be “based upon” the series, but would truly be a representation of the events of the story. I already know just how to execute the film, plot piece for plot piece, character for character, start to finish.
D.J., if none of the team that are currently negotiating the movie deals are up to your satisfaction, hire the one guy who won’t lose your sense of vision. Hire me, and I guarantee you will walk off the production floor every day feeling more satisfied than J.K. must have felt with Harry Potter.
Sincerely,
Jordan “Andy” Galle
Courtney Chetwynde says:
Jordan u might have better luck emailing him that cuz i dount he reads through all these comments everyday
EelongCatfolk says:
@SilverMisty
So true lol
@Courtney
Who knows? He could be anyone of us and we would have no idea until/unless he decides to tell us XD lol
Courtney Chetwynde says:
Haha that would be funny if he was part of r convo but also kinda weird to…..
Batu Warrior says:
@ Courtney and Eelong Catfolk
That would be awesome 😛 but only weird because we didn’t know it lol.
Oh yeah, and Will got me sick… ughhhh….
Holly says:
Yeah I agree! It would be cool, but weird if he’s listening in on all our conversations. It’s been forever since we’ve heard news about the movie!
SilverMisty says:
@Jordan: I suggest that you should try e-mailing Mr. MacHale himself because he doesn’t really read the comments we post here, like Courtney said. The button is on the right side.
@Eelong CatFolk: 🙂
@Batu Warrior: how did Will make you “sick”…or was he just annoying? (sometimes guys (and girls) can be annoying:))
SilverMisty says:
@Flume of Doom and gocloral: great stories 🙂
@Flume of Doom: Sorry I haven’t added to your story in a while, I’m sort of busy and I’m still thinking.
@everyone: hey guys, if anyone has any ideas, please add to Flume of Doom’s story! (It’s supposed to be a collaborative story)
Need a Movie says:
We need to compose a Pendragon theme song for the movies: something instantly recognizable, equivalent to the Hedwig Theme from Harry Potter.
You could change the playing, keeping the same tune, to suit the tone of each Territory. eg. more old and traditional on Denduron, Sci-fi techno on Veelox, and jungle-style on Eelong.
Batu Warrior says:
@ Eelong Catfolk
He made me sick, as in gave me his cold….
Flume of Doom says:
I’m a composer!
Look up “The Hero” and “The Duel” on YouTube.
The channel is “Mozartghost Studios.”
I also made a really funny stop action movie that anyone who likes action films would laff their head off watching it.
