I hope it doesn't result in any part of the movie being rushed.

Kersh had never.made a SciFi flick before. Maybe they should look to odd picks like Debra Krenuk (Winters Bone) or Kary Fukanawa (Jane Eyre).

 Since Star Wars isn't primarily sci-fi, it would probably be better if they chose directors who were used to directing other genres (genres that are part of Star Wars, anyway).

Yes, and I have to avoid speaking English. Les Canadiens find that offensive in the Frenchier areas.

Thank you. Yes, my family is going to Quebec for a year. I promise to annoy you all with French-only posts while I'm there. ;)

This would have to big in order for it to have any impact at all. I don't imagine that there would be many stores at all from which more than one of us would buy/return the Blu-Ray, rendering our little protest completely ineffective.

Seriously?

Anyway, I hate moving. At least we don't have to move all our belongings to Quebec with us, but packing everything up is still a pain. Thank goodness most of the furniture stays where it is.

Getting rid of 300 fish in a month and a half is a bit of a challenge. If our fish sales continue at the same rate they have been at, we're going to be in big trouble when it's time to go.

Neither do I. I'm not saying that the way abortions are performed is as horrific as the way people were killed during the holocaust, but I'm rather equating the magnitude of it. With an estimated 1.3 billion abortions performed worldwide since 1980, the numbers of the holocaust, if not the suffering, is dwarfed in proportion.

Thank you. Perhaps the suffering is shorter for the babies than it was for the Jews, but millions more have lost their lives to abortion than the holocaust.

I think that's the way to go.

I disagree. Some people, including Germans, didn't believe the horrors of the holocaust until they saw pictures of the concentration camps. In the same way, too many people ignore what abortion looks like, pretending that it's perfectly moral and OK. The pictures are intended to shock their designated audience into changing their mind about abortion.

The idea is also to get people who don't care either way to care. Abortion is an unfortunate atrocity and people too often ignore the reality of it. They should really put those things up at abortion centres, though, not where everyone is forced to see it.

The idea is to show what happens to aborted babies, to motivate people to stop aborting them, but it is insensitive to those who oppose abortion, or think it should be very limited.

Well, I'd go with the slightly more mature and older side of her. It fits better with scenes like the one in which she almost gets raped. Unless those guys were all pedophiles, they probably wouldn't have been so keen on a preteen. And when I was fourteen, I wasn't attracted to any eleven year old girls. Maybe Anakin just hasn't met many girls his age, but guys his age tend to think of girls Nashira's age as little kids. Just a thought.

Is Nashira still eleven? If so, I suggest you make her at least thirteen. I don't know of any eleven year old girls who would behave even remotely like her. Most girls are just starting to realize that they like boys at that point. ;)

I like the way the reaction shots of Yoda and Obi-Wan are. I can't remember if you have it like that already or not, but if not, I think the scene would be improved if you copied that.

 I'm not sure I agree.  The reaction shots are used to avoid showing Mace at all.

 I guess you're right. Although it might work well to have him freaking out in the background to get a couple reaction shots. It's your choice in the end. You have more experience with that kind of thing anyway.

What search function? This site doesn't have one....

Those funny little marks have names, you know.

No worries, Twister. I was wondering what happened to you, though. :)

I doubt I'll get far, since I don't have enough specific goals, but I also want to learn the following languages:

French (I can have a simple conversation and read a bit.)

Spanish

Latin (I know some basic vocabulary as well as the conjugations of two verb families and I can decline all five declensions.)

Hebrew

Greek

Arabic (I know the alphabet, but that's it.)

German

My proficiency in French will drastically increase this year, because my family is moving to Quebec for a year. We're leaving in late July to early August and will live in Ste. Foy, which is a suburb of Quebec City. I'll be going to school there, rather than homeschooling as I am now, to get the full experience. I don't expect to become fluent, but hopefully I'll get at least a decent grasp of the language.

it's frankly easier to use Google than the site proper.

 That's kind of a given, seeing as the only way to search is through Google. Unless you mean easier to use Google than browse through the site, in which case, that's pretty obvious.

He must be a time traveler of some sort.

While I enjoy the humor, I must resist the temptation to correct all the poor Shakespearean grammar.  I guess it's not too hard since I'm so tied up at the moment, but the desire is strong.

 I've forced myself out of Grammar Nazism as well, since he refuses to learn.

Yeah, I think SilverWook is right. They probably have nothing to do with the movie.
