That dictionary definition is no help to the discussion, because it only gives a very bare interpretation of the word. In the real world "reminiscent" is used a variety of ways.

In general, this kind of thinking simply doesn't work. If this were a true statement, then communication would be nearly impossible. Words are not to be interpreted, words have a very specific meaning. Sometimes multiple meanings and uses, but still, very specific in those meanings and uses.

If I were free to interpret words how I felt fit, or at least as I thought they mean, rather than what they really mean, then my using of that word in conversation with other people would almost invariably cause a breakdown of communication (as exemplified in the discussion at hand). In the real world, the word "reminiscent" has a strictly defined meaning, and that meaning was summed up quite well in the dictionary definition by DF.

Not that I am taking sides on the issue at hand, as I think it is a rather absurd sort of debate. It is just whenever someone decides to take liberties with the English language and the definition of words I cringe a bit.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying it to dis your idea, I was just saying, that would have been quite a twist. It would have beaten the crap out of "I am your father" as far as shocking twists go.

Being on the subject of twists just reminded me of the Boba Fett thing.

I always thought it would have been an interesting twist in ROTJ to make Han a Jedi, or the offspring of a Jedi. Maybe he took on a new identity and became a smuggler to put his old life behind him.

 

Whoa, that is an M. Night Shamaladingdong quality twist right there!

Reminds me of an interview where Mark Hamill was talking about George's twists making every one a blood relation of Luke in some form or another, and said that he was half expecting there to be a scene were Boba Fett takes off his helmet and reveal herself to be Luke's mom.

If you are dying for more GTA, then I'd say go for The Lost and the Damned. If you are interested in a unique gameplay experience, then I'd highly recommend Braid.

Not sure how much play time you get with The Lost and the Damned, but Braid runs pretty short, and once you already know how to solve every puzzle, there is not a whole lot of replay value there. There is a speed run achievement which sounds incredibly challenging, and there are hidden stars throughout the game which from what I have read online are rather difficult to get. So I guess if you are into those kinds of things, then you could squeeze several more hours out of the game.

Oh man, yeah, the Star Wars games of the nineties were amazing. Those early nineties games RRS mentioned are some of the most fun experiences I have ever had with videogames in my life. Even some of the crappier SW games of the nineties were still somewhat enjoyable. Rebel Assult is generally considered pretty crappy, but beyond the frustrating controls, I enjoyed it enough to play through it. I really enjoyed Rebel Assault II as well, at least enough to beat it a couple of times, and the cutscenes with real actors seemed reallt cool at the time, though it is filled with some pretty lousy acting. And like most LEC games, it was packed full of wonderful little easter eggs, especially wonderful was the Mystery Science Threater 3000 mode, you just can't get any better than a game that has a built in feature to make fun of itself. More games should do that! 

Even games from the mid-nineties like Rogue Squadron and Shadows of the Empire were quite good. But at that point it had started to become hit or miss, and since then, mostly miss.

So for from a gamers perspective, I definitely got to go with the nineties being the hieght. Not to say some of the early SW games were not good, I have played them, I loved them, but the nineties games just reached a whole new level, and it was great.

Yeah it was. It came from Han walking around him in the original footage, which would only have been possible with a human Jabba, not with a huge monster, proof that they originally planned to put Jabba on screen as human. Zombie84's Secret History of Star Wars site has an article about Jabba originally being meant to be human in the finished film despite official accounts claiming he was intended to be alien. But the walking around bit is my own observation.

There was an old CD-ROM called Making Magic, which came out before the SE and is about the SE changes. It is kind of funny to watch, because it documents George and his small army of yes men as they go about brainstorming how to make some of the SE changes work. I haven't watch this thing since it was released, though I still have a copy lying around. I remember a scene were George and his guys discuss the problem of the tail, and eventually decide having Han step on it is the best way to make it work. There is also a scene where they come up with the name for the Ronto, and they decided it looks somewhat like a Bronotosaurus, which is often appreviated Bronto, and so decided on the name Ronto.

I wonder if anyone has ever decided to preserve this CD-Rom as a DVD? If all the video could be extracted, it would be very easy to remake the menus and build a DVD with it. Video is highly compressed, but it is an interesting piece of the SE chapter of Star Wars' history.

The original trilogy still looks great, its effects are dated, but they looked damn good for their time, and still hold up quite well. If kids are not laughing at the OT today, they aren't going to be. None of the effects are really all that laughable. The thing was built to last, and it shows.

The SE however, has already had to under go a refit. And will under go another no doubt before its eventual Blu-ray release. I concede that if kids are watching the crappy CG graphics of a SE that hasn't recently been redone, they might laugh.

In the early eighties I was quite young, so while I myself was big into SW at that time, I really didn't see it a whole lot from anywhere else. I remember watching as SW action figures vanished from store shelves and it was all forgotten. Even in elementary school for some reason it seemed really hard to find other kids who liked SW. To me, the eighties were when Star Was began to fade away. The nineties on the other hand, were really exciting. Suddenly SW was everywhere again, tons of new books to read, tons of new comic series to choose from. Yeah, the 1995 line of action figures sucked pretty bad in all their ape like glory, but after time rolled on, they started releasing some really cool figures. Even after 1997 things still seemed great to me, back in the days where my original versions sat on the shelf next to my SEs, where I could choose with one to watch in equal quality. To me the nineties were the height of SW.

Until... TPM came out. And I am not just saying this to spite The Phantom Menace, but this film serious brought everything to a crashing halt. Suddenly any likeness of Luke, Han, Leia, or Darth Vader were purged from toy store and comic shop shelves. Suddenly every thing SW was replace with SW: Episode I. We went from Lightsaber shaped suckers at store check lanes to Jar Jar tongue suckers at store check lanes. Every thing Star Wars made a sudden shift from what had always been Star Wars to me, to the prequels. And it has pretty much stayed this way ever since

As a teenager/young adult at the end of the nineties I didn't see the gradual fading away of Star Wars like I did as a kid in the eighties, instead I saw it disappear almost overnight, and be substituted with something completely alien.

This year is moving along, almost March already! So I guess it is kind of late in the year for this, but I was wondering what everyones top games of '08 were.

I was thinking about this the other day, and I'd have to say the absolute best game released in 2008 that I played was Braid, with the runners up being Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead.

On the surface, Braid doesn't look like anything new or unique. But it doesn't take too much play time to see through its cheery Super Mario Word-knock-off-ish exterior, and realize that this game is one of those rare gems that surface from indy developers every now and then. The great thing about this game is that nothing like it has been done before, or at least not that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The puzzle aspect of the game is great fun. Sometimes the puzzles are so brilliantly designed, they'll make your head hurt. Trying to force your brain to think in such an unnatural way as to solve some of the time bending puzzles will drive you nuts, but you'll feel great once you figure it out. More than just being a nonlinear puzzle game, this game has an interesting storyline, which is also delivered in a nonlinear fashion, and likely even after you get to the end of the game and solve every puzzle, you'll find making sense of the story a whole new puzzle in itself, especially if you didn't take the time to read the seemingly unimportant bits of story between worlds.

Even though Braid is a very simple game, short, and featuring graphics that haven't been around since I was in middle school, it really managed do new things and work in a very unique way. Definitely my game of the year.

If better copies didn't already exist, this would have been a fantastic project. Though you'd have needed to learns some better programs than MS Paint and WMP to do a project like this that would be worth anything.

I am Legend by Richard Matheson is one of my absolute favorite books. And The Last Man on Earth is still by far, in my opinion, the best adaption to date. Heston made a fantastic Neville, and The Omega Man is great fun, but in a campy sort of way. The recent adaption with Will Smith had amazing potential, but really blew.

This thread has told me a few important things though,

1. I need to buy better transfer of this film than the one I have.

2. I really need to look more into this slightly extended Italian version, which looks to be a very beautiful transfer as well.

Thanks for the good info on the Italian version MrBrown.

see you auntie said:

C3PX the only way I'll be able to fully grasp your story and the concept behind it is if you can tell me if this Jorge Lewis baker guy is an analogy for another man?

Cause I'm thinking his name is pronounced ?Xorxe/ Hoar-hey. Or maybe it's more of a hard "J" like James.

Oh well I'll study it a bit more until you get back to me, but this Jorge Lewis guy sounds like a bit of an ass.

Anyone else feel like some chocolate cake?

Hilariously good  post by the way

 

His name is most definitely pronounced Hoar-hey, though this is not to say he is necessarily Hispanic (though he could be), probably just has some Hispanic ancestry, perhaps he had a grandfather or great grandfather named Jorge who he was named after. But anyway, if you were to go with an English pronunciation and use a hard "J" as in James, his name would sound an awful lot like the name George. This could be mere coincidence, or perhaps, it could have some deeper meaning.

You are right about one thing, auntie. Jorge is a bit of an ass (not to belittle him too much though, he did make one hell of a cake back in his day!)

Hate to say it, but TheBoost is right. A single menacing villian in black armor of any short is already going to sound like a Darth Vader rip off. If you have him drawn/described even in the vaguest way like Vader or even some of the early concept art of him, it is going to be undeniably a Darth Vader rip off. And very clearly, that is what he is. If you are honest with yourself, the inclusion of such a character in your own story is essentially because you want a Darth Vader rip off in your story.

It is very hard to come up with original stories these days. We live in a world so rich with media and entertainment, our minds are saturated with unoriginal story idea after unoriginal story idea. You can rack your brain trying to come up with something original, and in the end, the very best you do is try to make your rip offs as obscure and as vague as possible.

Or, you openly admit your work is based off of someone elses work, and the critics may just label your work as an inspired retelling of the original. How many times have people riped off Shakespeare and been applauded for it? If that man were alive to day, just imagine how rich he could become from lawsuits! He'd have Bill Gates looking like a beggar in no time with all the money he'd be owed.

You didn't offend me in anyway. It might be a generational thing to some degree, though it goes much deeper than that.

I have written countless analogies for this whole matter before, but no matter how many I write, some people still don't get it. They still think some of us ought to get over it and accept what Star Wars has become, rather than wanting what it was to us.

I know this is meaningless, and it isn't going to convince anybody, but I thought of a really great analogy today, and might as well type it up.

For those who just can't quite wrap your head around the OT Star Wars fan, those of you who constantly think, "I just don't get these obsesses old lunatics!", please imagine yourself in the following scenario:

Jorge's Famous Three Layered Cake

Imagine a fellow named Jorge Lewis. Jorge Lewis is a cake maker at a local bakery. You hear from one of your friends that Jorge makes a really excellent chocolate cake (if you don't like chocolate cake, then imagine your favorite type of cake instead). You go to his bakery and try it out, and yeah, it is a pretty amazing cake. Suddenly you are a huge advocate of Jorge and his delicious cakes. You go around telling everyone about them. They are so great you just can't shut up about how good they are. You pass people on the street and happen to hear them talking about needing to order a cake, and you stop and say, "Excuse me, but I couldn't help but over hear you say you needed to buy a cake, well check this Jorge Lewis guy out, he makes an amazing cake!" You probably just crept those people out, but you don't care, because you discovered something amazing, and you just can't keep it to yourself, you have to share it.

Eventually Jorge comes out with a two layered cake, and it too is amazing. You go on loving this cake and telling everyone about it. It is an incredible cake, and now it comes in two layers! After a small passage of time, Jorge adds a third layer. Three wonderful layers of chocolaty goodness! You and all your friends agree: Jorge's three layered chocolate cake may very well be the greatest tasting thing on earth. Jorge's three layered chocolate cake is so amazingly, wonderfully, fantastic, it renders all other chocolate cakes inedible. Anytime you eat any other kind of chocolate cake, no matter how good it is, you simply can't shake the feeling that you are experiencing a cheap knock-off, or that you are settling for second best. Jorge's three layered cake has set the standard for cakes as far as you are concerned, and it is pretty hard for anything else to live up to it.

After years of loving Jorge's three layered chocolate cake, after having it at every single one of your birthdays, and for holidays and special occasions, you have never grown tired of this cake. You love it, plain and simple. And you love Jorge for having brought it into your life. It is one of those small pleasures that you just wouldn't want to do without. It is a really good cake.

One day, you enter Jorge's shop to buy one of these wonderful three layered stacks of sugary goodness, and excitedly he tells you he has something new. For years he has wanted to put frosting on these cakes, but has never quite been able to get the frosting right. Until now. You have loved his three layered cake from the very beginning, you had never imagined what it would be like with frosting. It had always just kind of been frosting less, and you had always just kind of figured it was always meant to be that way. "Finally, my cake is completed! Finally it is the way I have always imagined it to be! This, my friend! This! Is the cake I have always intended for you to have had when buying from my bakery! This is the way I always envisioned my famous three layered cake being. My apologies for all those subpar cakes you purchased from me in the past, but one bite of this will make it up to you. At last, my cake is perfect!"

Jorge is really excited about the new cake. You stay around and chat with him for a bit, tell him the new cake looks very impressive and you can't wait to try it, and congratulate him on finally finding the right frosting; something that apparently he had been looking for for a very long time. All these years you'd been too busy enjoying the cake to even really consider the fact that it lacked frosting. Oh well, this new cake sure looks good!

You get home, cut yourself a piece, and bite into it. Not bad. Not bad at all really. An interesting change, something new, a little bit of variety. However, as you go on eating for a few more bites, you start thinking to yourself that it is a little bit too sweet for your taste. The new cake isn't awful by any means, but it just isn't the wonderful three layered cake you fell in love with.

The next time you are ready to buy one of Jorge's cakes, you go to him and say, "Alright Jorge, I'd like to order another one of those fantastic three layered cakes of yours. Only this time, could you hold the frosting--"

"What? Hold the frosting? Are you nuts? No! I am not doing it! I won't hold the frosting for you! My famous three layered cake you love so much has frosting on it now, and that is all there is to it, (insert your name here)!

You're kind of surprised. You didn't think the request was that big of a deal. You didn't think it would offend him. After all, he was the mastermind behind the original three layered chocolate cake, the fact that you love that thing he invented so much should be flattering to him. "Well, Jorge, it is just that the cake with the frosting on it is a little too sweet for my taste, and--"

"Too sweet? This is my cake, this is the way it is. That other cake you used to order, it doesn't exist anymore. If you really want that cake, well, let’s just hope you have an old slice or two left in your refrigerator, because that is the only way you are getting any."

"Alright Jorge, fine. I didn't mean to cause a fuss, I'm sorry. I'll go ahead order one of your cakes with frosting."

"Very good! That'll be $18.50. Thank you! Come again."

You get home and sit down to enjoy of piece of the cake, but it really is just too rich for your taste. You don't enjoy it like you did. It is no longer the cake that made you want to run out and tell complete strangers about what a wonderful cake it was. In fact, now when you compare it to those other cakes that you always felt never added up or came anywhere close to Jorge's cake, those other cakes don't fair so badly anymore. You even begin to prefer some of those other cakes over Jorge's. You'd have never in a million years have imagined that happening. It wasn't that those other cakes were getting so much better, but that with this overly sweet frosting on Jorge's cake, it just wasn't as good as it used to be (in your humble opinion).

You try scraping the frosting off with a butter knife, but the frosting is laid on so thickly, that it has been absorbed by the cake. No matter what you do to try to alter the cake yourself, it just isn’t that old cake you once loved so much.

After sometime, you decide to try again, "Jorge! Boy, your cakes sure are delicious! You know, the other day I was thinking about that old three layered cake you used to make. You know the one, before the frosting and all..."

"Fine!"

"Fine? Fine what? You'll sell me one of your original unaltered three layer cakes?"

"Yes. I will. I am sure you won't like it much, it was a pretty bad tasting cake, not even sure why you want it, but I'll sale you one. Just don't come complaining to me when you realize how awful it is."

"Thanks Jorge! This is great! Thank you so much!"

Jorge goes into the back and after a while returns with two cake boxes. One contains a beautiful looking frosted chocolate cake, and the other contains the cake you have been dreaming of, Jorge's famous three layered cake, sans the frosting... only, it is covered in frost.

"Jorge, what is up with the cake?" you ask politely.

"Oh, it is from the freezer. I found a bunch of these frozen in the back of my freezer, they’re left over from a big party I catered sometime last year. Been frozen for a year or so now, but I am sure you will still like it. I mean, you liked these things well enough when they were all gross, frosting less, and unfinished, seems like you'll like anything. That'll be $36.99.

"$36.99?!"

"Yeah, didn't I mention? You have to buy one of my new frosted cakes along with the year old freezer burnt one. So many customers were requesting the old frosting less cakes; by selling them together we will get to see which cake they really like. Freezer burnt crap, or, my delicious frosted cake. In the end, we will see which one you guys really like. Thanks! Come again."

So, after years of elevating this man to the level of "divine cake maker" and running around as one of his biggest advocates, literally annoying all your friends and family about this cake and nearly force feeding it to them, years of refusing to buy cake from anyone else, deciding that there are no other cakes worth eating, and feeling that no baker would ever be as good as Jorge, you walk away from the bakery feeling just a small twang of resentment toward the man. Jorge could easily sell you a fresh baked cake without the frosting, but for whatever reason, he simply won’t. Not even for you, a valued long term customer and a friend. Instead, he sells you worthless left over frozen year old cakes that most bakeries would have just thrown away. Not only did he sell it to you, but he made you buy one of his fancy new frosted cakes with it. Not only that, but you realize you wanted that old frozen cake so badly that you barely even hesitated to buy the frosted cake alongside it.
 
You feel kind of ripped off and cheated. Jorge and his products had meant so much to you, for some reason you thought you somehow meant something to Jorge. Guess not. Yeah, no use denying it, you feel a little resentful. You know what might make you feel better? Going home and cutting yourself a slice of that original famous three layered chocolate cake... after it thaws out.

Those who want to see the Adventures of James Siberious Kirk of the i-prise...

James Tiberius Kirk.

Almost without a doubt.

Remember, George even sued over Battlestar Galactica... which while stylistically similar to Star Wars, really didn't borrow that much from it.

The problem is the concept art is still very recongnizably Darth Vader. And then there is the issue of the character himself, is he a dilapidated old man who has to wear the suit to keep him alive?

If you don't ever plan to publish your story, then you really have nothing to worry about though.

rcb said:

 with all respects, i don't think george took star wars back and gave me a cheap ten

bucks. really i think its just a matter of opinion. star wars is here because of GL. He has

done good over the years even though he made some screw ups. The PT being his

biggest in the corny acting between anakin and padme. ugh. he still deserves respect.

And on the comment about GL seeing the movie, he'll prolly just sit back and laugh and

accept that this is wat some people think of him.

I don't see the PT as his biggest screw up. All directors make a few dogs every now and then. It is disappointing but far from unforgivable.

You may not feel like George gave you ten buck and took Star Wars back, but that is very much the way some of us feel. My illustration was pretty general, wasn't meant to define the situation perfectly. The fact is, we grew up with these movies and really liked them. And then we were told they don't exist anymore and were basicially told to F off. If we wanted those old pieces of crap, they were waiting for us on dilapidated old VHS tapes.

This may not have bothered you at all, but to many of us it was rather like a kick to the stones. If you went to the theater and saw a movie you really liked and thought "Man, when that comes out on DVD I am buying it!" Then they announce it won't ever be on DVD. It would suck. You'd be disappointed. In our case, we grew up with it, and loyally purchased it again and again on VHS and laser disc. Then this really great new format comes out, this format makes VHS look awful and even makes LD look rather pathetic. Most of us here, since the very moment we learned what DVD was, were imagining how great SW would look on it.

Finally, after being told we couldn't have it on DVD ever, we were told, alright, fine, it is on its way to DVD. Then we get the GOUT... another kick in the stones.

Ever had a bully take a toy away from you, wave it in front of your face tauting you, "You want your toy back? You want your toy back? Huh? Do ya? Then go get it! HAHAHA!" as he tosses it into a garbage dumbster/neighbor's backyard with mean dog/puddle of mud/some place gross and crappy? Well, neither have I, but I imagine it would feel a lot like the GOUT.

I can't say I don't have respect for Lucas. If I were to meet him I'd be very kind and polite. I don't hate him. But I am disappointed in the quality of his current products, and cannot support them. I don't go around saying he raped my childhood, because he didn't. It is not like I am going to die without the OT in a modern format. But his stance on the matter, which let's face it, is just pure stubbornness, would have cost him pretty much the same to put a real version on DVD instead of the 1993 LD masters, is really disappointing. Using the very outdated LD masters feels as if it was done out of spite. We had been pirating the LD transfers and saying, well, as long as they are not on DVD we are justified, and so he piped up and said, 'Well guess what? Now they are officially on DVD'.

You'd probably say he did us a favor, better that than nothing. But open up your eyes! That is what we already had! Even your precious SEs look absolutely horrible. Sure the picture is crisp, but the colors are all wrong, and the sound is all jacked up. Anyone who defends any of the OT DVD releases, SE or GOUT, has a very questionable degree of LFL loyalty. If someone is so loyal as to defend LFL on their DVDs, chances are if LFL employees came to their home and raped their mom/sister/wife and killed their family pet, they have some logical way of explaining their behavior away and defending them.

There are movies I like that have come out on DVD that have had very poorly done releases. Movies by film makers I have great respect for, and the movies have even been the version of the film I prefered to watch! And yet I never once felt the need to defend them, seemingly to the death, for such a poor quality transfer. I cannot understand why fans of the SE find the need to defend the 04 (and subsequent) DVDs so adamantly, when clearly they are a very poor quality product. It is some really odd brand of loyalty that clearly wanders over the line of obsessive. It is almost like some of you enjoy being screwed by this company, merely because its owner made a few movies you like.

First anyone had ever heard of him was Episode II. The whole Boba Fett back story as seen in Episode II did not exist prior to that film. However, there has always been a connection between Boba and the cloned soldiers in some vague way.

Let's say I give you $100 dollars, rcb. A few weeks later, after you have had plenty of time to think about and dream about ways to spend you $100, I meet you on the street on your way home, scruff you up, grab your wallet, and take your $100 dollars, saying, "Its mine, I never meant to give you that much anyway." and toss you a ten dollar bill before walking away. Would you be saying, "Well, without C3PX, I wouldn't even have this ten dollars!" It would be true, without me you wouldn't even have the ten bucks, but I still acted like a jerk in giving it to you, then taking it away from you again in a very rude way. 

And now when you complain about what a jerk I am, my friends turn around and say, "Shut up whiner, it was his $100 bucks to give away and take back as he pleased! Stop whining about things that are not even yours. You got what you deserved.

IIRC, it was originally just Dragon Ball 2 in manga form, but someone misread Toriyama's 2 as a Z and that's how we got DBZ.

If that is true, it is really funny. And makes sense of the nonsensical "Z". Wouldn't be surprised if it was a myth though.

TheBoost said:

The Ulic Quel Droma story, all three Dark Empires, and the Dark Forces games were also adapted to full-cast "radio dramas," with (IMHO) less success.

I sure wish they'd do the PT as radio dramas. With a solid writer to flesh out the characters and motivations, that could be awesome.

It wasn't actually the games The Dark Forces games that were adapted to radio dramas, but were a series of sort of novels published by Dark Horse featuring extensive artwork and mostly based off of DFII: Jedi Knight. Yeah, they kind of sucked, especially for a guy like me who fell in love with the originallity of the first DF game, only to see it sink into everything that was wrong with the EU with the second game and the book series. :(

I assume the "Ulic Quel Droma" story is the Tales of the Jedi radio drama? As Ziz said there is also a few of the short stories from the book Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina that were made into radio dramas. And the most obscure is Rebel Mission to Ord Mantell which was also done by Daley and takes place between SW and ESB, telling the story of Han running into a bountry hunter and getting shaken up, as mentioned by him in ESB. It is only thirty minutes long, and can be found for download on the internet in mp3 format with minimal searching through google. Oh yeah, and it really sucks.

Those are all the SW related radio dramas. I have only heard the trilogy, Dark Forces, Rebel Mission to Ord Mantell, and the first few sides of the first Dark Empire. Can't say I was too impressed with any of them, except for the trilogy of course.

My suggestion would be to buy the TPM poster with Anakin casting Vader's shadow, or the TPM poster of your preference, then take a magic marker or a crayon and write "10th Anniversary" on it. If you have good penmanship it could come out quite nice.

Alright, I decided to take it upon myself to bless you all with a couple of lovely 10th Anniversary posters. As I am not photoshop savvy and wasn't sure how to "photoshop" them, I had to "paintbrush" them. I have been using that program since Windows 3.1, and am quite a wizard in it, if ever a wiz there was!

This one is kind of a mock up of how it might look if my advice is followed and a permanent marker is used to transform a regular old TPM teaser poster into a limited run 10th Anniversary edition poster. My penmanship is not the greatest, but with a steady hand, you can imagine how impressive this might look.

And here is the one that might appear in magazines to advertise the Episode I 10th Anniversary commemorative memorabilia that is likely never to get made.
