Handman

Has anyone heard from Silverwook lately?

If it’s too hard, you’re either trying too hard or not at all. Keep trying new things and putting yourself out there, but don’t force it and don’t try to be anyone you’re not. That’s the advice I have.

I really do not appreciate someone starting a PM thread with me to throw accusations, insults, and forum drama from here and elsewhere in my face and then exiting the topic before I can even say one word in response. Total dick move.

Ah that takes me back to Lord Zerome’s thankfully brief stint on here. When he started not one, not two, but three PM threads to insult me, I laughed it off because it was clear from day 1 he’d be banned in no time. I was right.

Your situation sounds like much less of laughing matter. I hope that gets sorted out.

I’m glad I never “met” him. Did read through his post history and found it lacking.

Wait, what? How’d you get his pictures?

I’m not saying anything if you don’t

I really just want to know how you got the personal pictures of somebody you’ve never met. Does Zerome know you have his pictures?

Give it three weeks and if you aren’t satisfied with it at the end of that, quit. No reason to stay at a job you hate any longer than necessary. But before you do that, consider your other prospects. I would start applying to other positions as soon as possible. You can keep working at the job you hate while you do that.

You couldn’t get me into a Ford Pinto for all the money in the world. I will take an autonomously driving pod over that.

I prefer thinking that things are just different, not necessarily better or worse carte blanche. A lot of things are better than they used to be, a lot of things are worse or simply do not exist anymore. It can be tough reconciling the two, and the changes are getting faster all the time. It’s gotten pretty hard to keep up.

Thanks Wook. I couldn’t resist just one snarky comment. Wish you the best.

He is definitely remembered here. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed. You’ll find us asking where he’s gone from time to time, years after he was last active. A great loss, I’m very sorry for you and your family.

So does that mean he’ll randomly ban me on Christmas again?

Any updates? Color grade looks good, perhaps a bit of a green cast in the blacks.

Not sure why you’re adding to the irrelevance of a dead end back and forth. Bored?

I see you must be new to internet forums.

I unfortunately have had some minor complications with both eyes requiring further surgeries to fix. I will be out of commission for most of this week for the first of these. The other two procedures haven’t been scheduled yet.

Good luck, Wook.

Server problems.

Having some more problems now. I’m getting server errors whenever I try to log in.

If the last new Star wars we ever saw was back in 1983, the franchise wouldn’t be as popular as it is today. The originals may have maintained a reputation of being groundbreaking for their time, and a cultural touchstone, but so many young people have an attachment to Star Wars that has very little to do with the originals. They most likely only saw those movies out of curiosity about how it all started.

Young people don’t care about Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, etc.?

Taking some time off to finally get my long delayed cataract surgery. Not looking forward to it, but I’d rather endure some short term discomfort than go through life fearing walking into an open manhole cover. It will be nice to see the world clearly again, especially pedestrian crossing lights.

Anchorhead, Jason, and Tobar will still be on the job in my absence, so pester them, be excellent to each other, and try not to burn the forum down, please? Thank you! 😃

That’s excellent, Silverwook! Hope the recovery is going well.

Last I heard, he has a YouTube channel and is doing well.

I actually enjoy eating most fish, especially fried filet on a bun from Burger King!

Burger King is pretty good. Not sure if I prefer it over Wendy’s or not. Both are better than McDonalds.

I was on my old computer recently and found a few old Despecialized Edition videos from 2014/2015, documenting the sources for Star Wars 2.0. It’s not the version that’s currently on YouTube. Also on it is a comparison video of Empire 1.0 vs. Grindhouse vs. Empire 2.0. Anyone still have these? Anyone want them?

I had so many great ideas for the ‘Muxing up Movie Quotes’ thread but now there’s nobody to appreciate them.

Handman is still around at least.

She’s dead now, for real.
Tanya Roberts, a Charlie’s Angel and a Bond Girl, Is Dead at 65
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/05/arts/television/tanya-roberts-dead.html

Her publicist, who was given erroneous information, had announced her death to the news media early Monday, and some news organizations published obituaries about her prematurely.

Silverwook, you are a good mod. I apologize for this nonsense impacting your Christmas and I’m very sorry to hear about your personal crisis.

It doesn’t really matter since everyone involved doesn’t use the site anymore.

The incident with Fated-Dualist was to counter his own accusations about a member who can no longer defend himself here.

Did you have some kind of beef with him previously, or was that whole thing about that one specific post? Because if it was the latter, you blew that all way out of proportion, considering it was incredibly obvious he wasn’t accusing the real Frink of being a stalker. His post was referencing the recent “Frink 2” account, since he literally said “TV Frink #” with a typo missing the 2.

Thanks Dek, for your input on things that you aren’t involved with at all.

If you truly knew the people you were talking about, you’d see it another way. Taking random posts out of context doesn’t make your version of events any truer. I agree the bickering is pointless. The incident with Fated-Dualist was to counter his own accusations about a member who can no longer defend himself here.

I find it odd you, a new member who joined in 2020, are digging up two year old posts from another forum while Fated-Dualist accused them of stalking. Seems odd. Not to mention the linked post to Frink clearly shows he doesn’t tolerate any of the things that Fated-Dualist linked to him. This whole thing is just sad.

As for the whole ‘us’ vs. ‘the enemy’, I can’t help but recall when I received an interrogative PM from oojason when I made an innocent post about looking at the old politics thread, as so much time has passed since then and there are posts there that date back to the George W. Bush administration, demanding if I was in cahoots with Warbler, someone I don’t even talk to. It was weird.

See ya.
