JMS,

So, with less than two months before the theater debut of "Changeling", any idea
what kind of promotions we can look forward to?  Are you going to be dragged
kicking and screaming in front of TV cameras on talk shows?

Any other updates you can share?

Thanks,
Jan

/Very/ impressed with Angelina Jolie having pushed her natural pitch
up about a fifth to produce the period notion of a "feminine" voice.
Far too few actors nowadays, and almost no actresses, use this
important part of an actor's toolkit.

Nice catch.  I haven't seen any scenes/trailers yet, but I'll be keeping my 
ears open for that.  I'm pretty voice-conscious, too.

So here's a question for the group mind...a weird question that my
agent asked me, when he noticed it, and I didn't have an answer, so I
figured somebody here might.

If you do a google search -- web or blog -- on my name, and sort date
to the most recent, you hit a lot of B5 stuff, some comics stuff, and
the like.  You see very little on Changeling.

But if you do a search for Changeling for the same period, and sort
date, even though my name is all through those entries, almost none of
them showed up on the other Google search, even though Changeling and
my name were in the same areas and thus should have been sorted
equally.

It's almost as if Google is weighted to search in some areas, and
disregard others.  Kind of a weird internet typecasting.

Whuzzup wit dat?

The key (it's no big secret) is that search engines assume that, if
someone is searching for "J. Michael Straczynski", they want to learn
about J. Michael Straczynski, not something else. Things that
reference B5, the comics, and so on, are often about you, and a lot of
them cross-reference each other. Things about "Changeling" generally
mention you only in passing, and relatively few other web pages that
reference you have links to them, which makes any modern search engine
assume (with considerable truth) that people who are interested in you
aren't much impressed with those pages, and that someone searching for
you won't be much impressed by them either.

You want to see more "Changeling" pages turn up on searches for you?
Encourage more of them to have interesting content about you. How do
you do that? Heck, I've already told you what to do on this very
thread. Get yourself on Leno and Letterman. Good for "Changeling",
good for you, good for the WGA. The film's got major industry buzz,
and the other major players aren't available, so get out there and
carpe that old diem (or rather noctem in this case) to tell the people
that you're the Somebody who Wrote That. While you're at it, do
interviews with bridge media -- old media with major Internet
presence, like the NY Times, and (when it's time) the BBC.

I /know/ you can do it, because I've /seen/ you do it. No matter how
uninteresting you may think you are, the fact is that you're as much
fun to watch in personal appearances as the late Isaac Asimov was.
(And your agent can damn well quote me on that.)

I think JMS is undervaluing himself in this regard, as well.  Being an ol=

hand at cons, he's more equipped than many Hollywood writers to take=20
unexpected questions and instantly provide entertaining and informative=20
answers to them.  No risk of dead air when interviewing JMS, that's for s=

Along these lines...there will be a Q&A after the Sunday screening of
Changeling at NYFF, and I'll be there to answer questions, as well as
attending the premiere the night before.
