…and you better believe that people at LFL have been positively scrambling to devise workarounds and contingency plans ever since her health issue first arose last week.

Life goes on, through and after tragedies. How people will have to work to move through this one, while preserving and honoring Carrie’s legacy, is what is newsworthy, and a fascinating realm of speculation, here.

Without spoilers, does anyone know where they are with shooting on Ep. VIII?
Were Carrie’s scenes already shot?

I wonder how they are going to deal with this. It will require MASSIVE quantities of DELICATE sensitivity.

And it BETTER have a “Dedicated to the Memory of” card!

Well I am certainly hopeful that the Great Order Number 6 will finally put an end to the ruthless campaign of targeted harassment that I’ve suffered on this board:

you’re troll/asswipe who needs to be banned.

[Warbler said:]
IT IS TIME TO BAN THE FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!

Warbler said:

On another I am now seriously wondering if Darth ID is paying something to mods. I mean, can anyone think one, just one good reason to keep him around?

Warbler said:

Possessed said:

I don’t see why you think he should be banned.

HE’S A TROLL!!!

DuracellEnergizer said:

As much joy as it would bring me to see a despicable piece of shit like Id flushed down the toilet…

Warbler said:

I have called Darth ID a troll.

1. he is one(I hope I haven’t violated the new rules with that)

People is reporting that she died.

I got a Lego K-2SO. I don’t care if that’s too kiddy, I still enjoy building and playing (actually, mostly just admiring) Lego. I still adore the old Bionicle line of Lego toys, and this new K-2SO is built in a similar vein.

I finally caved and bought myself the Lego 2016 Advent Calendar, in order to get the fabled White Wookiee Mini-fig. (I was in the Lego store to get the Yellow Submarine set, and my resolve is weak.) It also came with awesome Stormtrooper, Snowtrooper, RotJ Luke and my favorite: the Power-droid!

Are you suggesting Edwards told Landis, and Landis spilled the beans?

Ok, now I’m listening!

^^ I sincerely wish you a Happy Holidays warbler. Maybe this section of the forum should be closed until the New Year giving everyone a needed break.

Or people could stop being idiots who act like they have no control over themselves and start self-moderating so we can have a decent forum again without relying on the mod team to teach people how to be civil adults to one another.

If you need a break, take a break. Don’t ask for someone else to step in and force everyone to take a break because a few people can handle themselves. The mod team have better things to do than spend their time babysitting OT.com posters with no self-control.

Good advice for everyone Tyrphanax.

Please don’t try to employ Darth Id’s patented Darkside Jedi Mindtrick.™
You’re embarrassing yourself.

…Gareth is quoted as saying that John Knoll said that …

Stopped reading due to Landis being absent from this chain of hearsay.

TV’s Frink said:

In my eyes, you’ve improved to generally tolerable.

When you dance with the Devil, he doesn’t improve, he simply coarsens your sensibilities…

Merry Christmas, Original Trilogers, from the darkside-wielding meta-villain you love to hate!
(Except Frink, of course, who hates to love me.)

Warbler said:

I have decided to take a break from the forum, I think until after the holidays.

Until then, a Happy Christmas to you, good sir!

I think’s there’s a profound difference between being nasty after someone attacks/slights you and being nasty because you’re an antisocial asshole.

3. Stop acting like your shit doesn’t stink.

I’m not positive but I believe Duracell was actually defending you.

I believe he’s using my quote as a response to Fo.

Nope. Wubbles just fell for my Darkside-Jedi Mind Trick:

I don’t wish to be in your signature Fo. Please remove my quote. Thanks.

In the spirit of being on topic: though I don’t always agree with him, Frink still makes me laugh quite a bit.

I’ll follow suit here by saying that even though he has me on “spiritual ignore,” which evidently consists of occasionally badmouthing me in nonresponsive ways, Duracel makes frequent posts that are downright hilarious and admirably clever.
He’s frankly a big reason I return here.
And I’m sure he’ll count that as a major achievement!

My wife’s and my ten year anniversary is today! Love you, wifey!

What’s your wife’s handle on here?
Is it DomCobb?

EDIT: Ha! Possessed’s post is a variant of this joke! Oh well.

So it’s really DomCobb, though, right?

I’ll be in Europa from Christmas to January 4th!

Europa, eh?

I hope you packed a parka. I hear the surface temperature at the equator never rises above −160°C.

No, no, no: he means the strip club out by JFK. Rome & Paris are his favorite dancers.
The bit about the parents and sister, though…cree-py…

DominicCobb said:

True

So, in other words…false?
I always get so confused by this part!

We should all start a private thread and leave Darth Id out of it like he was left out of all the games in elementary school. Then we can point and laugh at how much of a loser he is and maybe he’ll cry and leave us all for good.

…but…if it’s private and I’m left out, how will I know you’re laughing at me and how much of a loser I am so as to impel me to cry and leave you all for good?

Because I just told you

Yes, but you’re a well-known bail-faceted lair.

Kind of a Catch-22 thing you’ve got going there…

This place. If I ever want to feel good about how I interact with others, seeing Off-Topic is a good place to start. I could write a whole book about What Not to Do™ based on this garbage heap.

Thanks for stopping by again.

Without a published ignore list, it’s the only way for him to express his dislike for you, inter alia.

Reminder that the human brain is essentially dumb as fuck and cesspools like reddit are doing their best to make sure logic and reason never changes that: http://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/internet/2016/12/movie-doesn-t-exist-and-redditors-who-think-it-does

People love echo chambers. There’s a place on the Internet for everyone to find someone who agrees with them about whatever they think, and eventually it becomes normalized.

I agree wholeheartedly.
We should start a thread about this brilliant observation, and normalize the shit out of it.

You could pay me, though. Hell, you could pay me to watch almost any movie if the price is right.
