Funny story, actually.  My computer overheated and shut down about a minute after the show started.  I thought for a minute there I might not make it in time.  But it looks like I had plenty of time after all, thanks to your last minute save with bug spray.

Bug spray, as in a computer bug! Hah! I see what you did there!

So Gaff, you told me before that today was your OT anniversary - so why, when we click your profile, does your join date say June 2nd? And no weaseling out with leap year technicalities!

Most likely because of time zone issues.  As with most great internet discoveries, it was a very late night when I finally bit the bullet and joined the forum.  I had been lurking since the previous fall, due to the hype and backlash of the '04 OT DVDs, but it was after I saw ROTS for the first time that I just had to come here and start bitching.  So I'm sure it was June 2nd in a lot of parts of the world... just not mine, it seems.

EDIT:  Oh, hi, there Davnes.  We get that a lot...

Was OT.com the only SW site you lurked? Because I found out about this place in, sad to say, theforce.net-

-yeah, I know...any of that for you before OT.com? TFN, Outer Rim, stardestroyer.net?

Quite alright, quite alright.  Embrace the unexpected I suppose.

But, no, I can't say I'd ever really lurked many other Star Wars boards before.  I might have looked at the official site's boards a couple of times, but got disgusted and went away.  As for TF.n, I probably heard about it through here.  So maybe that's backwards of me.  Not sure how I came across this place.  Probably searched for "angry Star Wars malcontents," and this was the first thing that came up, I suppose.

Refresh my memory Gaff - you've got a degree in, was it, theater or somesuch? Was it Star Wars that pushed you in that direction?

Haha, yes, I have a bachelor of arts in theatre performance that I'm currently not using in any real capacity. =P  Well, I'd wanted to be an actor long before I ever saw Star Wars, but I suppose it wouldn't be outside of the realm of possibility that Star Wars was one of the first films that got me interested in the study of film.  Ironically, it was because of those Leonard Maltin/George Lucas interviews that came packaged with the "Faces" VHS set, which was my first exposure to the movies.  Ironic in the fact that it's not exactly an accurate portrayal of the history at all.  But I was nine.  I lapped it up then.  But those were sillier times.

Wow! That's a pose!

So...(calm down, VFP) then, was that part of the reason behind the YouTube gig? Besides having fun, you've got a kind of "audition tape" out there? A...Gaffer Tape, as it were?

Yeah, I liked that pun too, Joe.

Haha, a Gaffer Tape indeed!  Yeah, well, first of all, I thought it would be fun.  And second, since I was just out of college, I wanted a chance to edit again, which I love to do, and I wanted to keep my skills sharp.  So I just went with and wanted to see what would happen.  And, yeah, for my first video, I just dusted off a thread from a ways back that I wrote on these boards.  So, yeah, man, everything's, like, connected and stuff!

So that's really why I had things like the "Gotham City/Santa Fe" montage in my Batman and Robin video last year.  I'm afraid I haven't been as ambitious lately, mainly because my computer just seems to be less inclined to tolerate it with each successive video.  Remember how I said that my computer overheated right before the show?  That's because I was listening to the commentary on Back to the Future while simultaneously watching this thread.  How dare I?!  How could a computer be expected to put up with that kind of torture?!  So, yeah...

Ah yes, the infamous Jabba's Palace Rescue Logic bomb. One of the finest scene breakdowns you're ever going to read. If you weren't OT.com made before then, you were after.

You mean for the videos?  Well, there's that Wonder Woman 2009 animated film that I've been putting off doing forever even though it was one of my first ideas from before I even started doing videos.  I've had the video files from the 1943 Batman serial sitting on my computer since I made my less-than-successful music video (not sure why that didn't take off as well as I'd hoped... I thought it turned out pretty well) last June.  But for some reason, I've been in less of a superhero mood this year than last year apparently.  So I'm tempted to just continue to keep those on the backburner and just do a multi-part in-depth video series analyzing Dragon Ball story arc by story arc.  That idea is almost anathema to me as well because I feel I've been beating that horse to death lately and putting off fans who might not be into that one series.  I don't want to pigeonhole myself, but I admit that when I get an interest I sink my teeth into it for a while before I lose interest.  And I also have to admit that I've gotten a LOT of subscribers since my Dragon Box reviews have been out, and the temptations to pander to the valuable market share (*coughilliterateteenscough*) is a bit strong.  But we'll see.  Again take note of the amazing, melting computer.  Also take note that I have one of them checkbook things, but they cease to be impressive when in the hands of a part-time fashion retail worker... =P

EDIT:  Oh, and because I just bought this damned thing last February!

Ha!  I should just find some new Star Wars thing to nitpick.  It's been a long time since I've done anything with that topic.

I did have a very-rushed, "Oh, crap, I forgot it was April Fool's Day today, I have to capitalize on it!" video, but I quickly abandoned it.  Just wasn't very good.  Hopefully there's at least one piece of ridiculous footage I can recycle somewhere down the line.

Welcome back to THE VFP Show! In a few moments, we're going to witness one of the great musical reunions in forum talk show history-

Just a minute, VFP.

What is it, Joe?

I wanted to get everyone up to speed on a news story that's troubling me...

Really?

Yeah...I hold in my hand this story regarding President Obama making improper use of his office.

No!

Yes...here is the text of the story:

WASHINGTON—President of the United States, basketball fan, and former Chicago resident Barack Obama once again weighed in on the future of LeBron James Wednesday, saying how much he would enjoy seeing the superstar play for the Bulls, and also that he, President Obama, was in fact the leader of the free world.

"As I've mentioned before, I think LeBron would look great in a Bulls uniform," the president told reporters during a special morning press briefing in the Oval Office. "It's a great basketball city, and I think he'd fit right in. Just like I fit in here in my office—which, if you hadn't noticed when you entered, is the Oval Office, the center of power of the United States and, by extension, the Western world."

"Sorry, I think I may have gotten sidetracked there and said something irrelevant," added the president, walking casually over the presidential seal on the White House rug. "Or possibly not. In any case, I think LeBron would be perfect for the Bulls and their excellent core of young players. It's a team game, and in any team game it's important to have good teammates, as I'm fond of telling my own teammates, like the joint chiefs, the secretary of state, and, you know, the nation of Britain."

James, who becomes a free agent July 1, is being courted by many NBA franchises and is said to be considering New York and Miami as possible destinations. However, President Obama said that as a basketball fan, and as the man with ultimate authority over the CIA, FBI, and the most powerful military in the history of the world, he personally would counsel James to strongly consider Chicago.

"Let's just say I think it would be in his best interest," Obama said. "And I say that purely as somebody who remembers how great it was when Michael Jordan played for the Bulls. Not at all as one of the handful of individuals on the planet who can order a deadly predator drone attack with a single telephone call. Those drones are very precise, I've found. I told LeBron as much during a conversation last week."

As the free agency period nears, the president has repeatedly mentioned the possibility of James playing in Chicago, most notably to TNT's Marv Albert, but also to Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin and during a personal helicopter visit to the residence of NBA commissioner David Stern.

Many fans claim the president is displaying an unfair bias toward Chicago, allegations Obama responded to while idly flipping through a leather folder embossed with the words "NUCLEAR LAUNCH CODES."

"Let's be clear: I think what LeBron James has done for the city of Cleveland and the state of Ohio is remarkable," Obama said. "However, it's also been pointed out to me that my approval ratings in Ohio have dipped. And though losing LeBron would be heartbreaking for Ohioans, I wonder if it would be as heartbreaking as, say, losing $645 million in federal education funding, or even $2.2 billion for a statewide infrastructure improvement program."

"But where was I?" said Obama, looking up and smiling. "Wasn't I just talking about basketball? You see what happens when you become president of the United States? You try to have a lighthearted conversation about sports and suddenly you're discussing the very survival of entire American cities."

Though Obama has made it clear in recent conversations about James that the chief executive of the United States has the power to sign or veto legislation, nominate executive and judicial officers, grant pardons and reprieves, and, under the Patriot Act, imprison anyone with enough salary-cap room to court the MVP, many in the sporting community have noted that the president has no constitutional authority to determine the career path of a professional basketball player.

President Obama said that he agreed, at least in principle.

"Listen, my opinion as the man who holds the highest office in the land is just that—an opinion," the president said. "Any fan would want his favorite team to sign the best player out there. It just so happens that as the most powerful basketball fan on the planet, I can apply a certain amount of pressure others can't."

"Which makes sense," Obama added, "because, well, I'm the president of the United States of America."

And here's the link:

There! Do you see now? THE MAN IS A COMMUNIST MENACE!!

I hate you, Joe.

Folks, we'll be right back after this commercial break - which is code for "I'm going to beat the hell out of my bandleader." And no court in the world will convict me. Anyway, when we come back - for the first time since 1995, it's the RUNAWAY FIVE!!
