Delete this. And I apologize for my recklessness in my first posts on this site.

Two things.
First, I was just having a little fun at your expense ....I read the various threads and lurked around here for a while before joining as well...welcome.
Second, I am throughly convinced. There is no way you are ZigFried. Ziggy is incapable of forming such a straight forward, coherent , polite reply....the boy has issues....
Anyway, enjoy the site and thank you for not being a Ziggy sock.
I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.

Though I am sorry to hear you say you will never post another topic again... if you renig on that promise I am sure none of us will hold it against you. Like I said before, we need new life around here, new non spamming topics are welcome. Hmm, like I said, I haven't been here the last few days, but it seems your other thread was about preserving or a petition for Balto?? Did I miss something?? I don't find that very "reckless" as you called it. If you have noticed certain parts of this site are dedicated to the preservation of films. In other words, I would say mentioning something like the preservation of a film seems like a pretty common place thing around here, nothing reckless about it. If others don't share your enthusiasm at first don't be discouraged, not too many people come around here, which means the chances of stumbling across a fellow fans of certian things is lower. But it is worth posting by chance that you do stumble across someone else with interest. If not the worst thing that will happen is your thread will sink into oblivion without any replies, no need to request its deletion. Some of the best threads in this place began with the poster being scorned and made fun of, just ask members like Trooperman. When he first proposed making a fan edit of Episode II which included redubbing Anakin and other minor characters, he ended up with several pages of jest. Now his thread is 90 pages long with over a thousand replies and we are (hopfully) a few months away from having a very impressive (or at the least very interesting) fanedit of Attack of the Clones. Don't let the first few replies discourage you.

P.S. Thank you for your encouragement C3PX, thank you. Maybe, just maybe, I will start another thread in the future, but right now, I have no intention on it. But if I do, I will look before I leap. I promise not to make another mistake like these first two threads again.
P.S. (II) www.originaltrilogy.com forever!

the film was so bad indeed one wish's it had never even reached the silver screen. even with the deluxe 2 disc dvd with deleted scenes and a faneditor could the movie be salvaged. the movie should have been more like lord of the rings and less than a film a bit too late to cach in on its success.
if the inheritance trilogy got the same treatment as the harry potter series it could have been good.
funny how publicly he came out and supported the movie one wonders how the young author could have and how much money they gave him.
the first movie was so terribly miscast and the effects were crap, and the music, and the script and the film flopped that eldest will probably not get made. you had nothing really mentioned in the film like the invented language that paolini did and the first since tolkien to do so.
i cannot wait for the third book in the inheritance trilogy since it will be probably the authors first truly polished novel and adult effort. the first book was kind of a high school kids fanfic and attempt at tolkien and mcaffrey, rippoff and the second was a sophomore effort.
thank god new line got the rights to the wonderful trilogy by phillip pullman of golden compass trilogy.
plus walden media with disney and weta are doing a great job on the narnia films.
i can only hope that terry brooks first film based on his book elfstones is good.
the hobbit had better be an mgm/newline/weta co production with peter jackson at least as exec producer if not director so the cast will be on board. nobody should play gandalf but ian mckellen.

Huh, based on all your post skyjedi, I always took you to be more of a right leaning conservative Christian type. Especially with your comment about the need to be careful of bashing the Jews since Jesus was a Jew. So it kind of took me by surprise when you mentioned the "wonderful trilogy by Philip Pullman". Even more ironic is the use of "thank God New Line got the rights" when in reference to a series where God is the main villian (or rather the predecessor to the main villian, kind of like Morgoth and Sauron, only in Pullmans books it is God and Enoch). Though while the subject matter was pretty offensive, overly biased and anti-christian, I must admit, Pullman is a pretty good writer and posses the ability to pull people into his world that tops even J. K. Rowling.

now i shall have to go and boycott the books and the movie if they are anti christian because i am not for that in any way.
Tolkien and c.s. lewis are 2 of my favorite authors precisely because they were god believing christians.

i hardly think pullman's god is the father of jesus christ and and spiritual author of the gospels as well as creator of the earth and heavens if a little girl can kill him. LOL yeah right so is this like pullmans admitting to being gay or something?

it's been a long time since I've read the book, but here goes. I was, at the time, not very religious, so I found nothing wrong with it. My friend, who practiced religion and goes to catholic school, also has no trouble with it. I take it as nothing more than a book.
"Pullman portrays the Christian heaven to be a lie. In the third book, the real afterlife is depicted as a bleak place where people are tormented by harpies until Lyra and Will descend into the land of the dead. Through their intercession, the harpies agree to stop tormenting the dead souls, and instead receive the true stories of the dead in exchange for leading them again to the upper world. When the dead souls emerge, they dissolve as they become one with the universe."
There's one problem you may have with it. (taken from wikipedia.) They also treat Lyra's world's God as merely the first angel, however that's wikipedia - from what I read, it only seemed to say that God is not as all-powerful as we think.
"support from other Christians, most notably Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who argues that Pullman's attacks are focused on the constraints and dangers of dogmatism and the use of religion to oppress, not on Christianity itself." His arguments about how the Church can be oppressing can be applied to all religions.
Well, I guess my point is that you can take it offensive if you want - I just take it as a book, IMO written very well.
