Idea & Info: Star Wars Deleted Scenes - Reincorporated?

I don't know where else to put this but I feel it is relevant.

Over at iCollector, there is an original ADR session for "Rat Face," "Han Solo," and "Luke Skywalker" for sale. It is $500 and it ends tomorrow, but seeing as how Rat Face is hardly seen much less heard, it would be interesting to hear what is on this tape. 

 This is a very substantial find and should not go neglected!  This could be extremely useful for fan editors especially!

Who'd like to try a chess variant? Now playing Xiang Qi, a.k.a. Chinese chess
Time

If my computer hadn't shut down at such a poor time, I would actually suggest we start something else.  I'm not enjoying it much.  However, the timing is bad because you made a good move right then and it wouldn't be fair to quit now.  I just at present haven't had the chance to play back to where we were.  I will get back to position at some point today and make a move.  Gotta run.

STAR WARS: EP I "THE VALOR CUT" **JUSTIN VALORMAN**COMPLETED**YOUTUBE LINK UP
Time

That actually is a really cool idea.  Glad I took a moment to watch that.  I would reverse a couple of shots just for visual continuity (i.e. Anakin flies in from left to right, I'd have his missile firing go from left to right as well), but the whole thing was pretty impressive.  While I don't much like the podracing line either, I see how it is hard to cut while showing Anakin making an escape.

That was a clever move.  I saw its potential coming earlier, but then after I stepped away for a couple of days, I forgot about it!  I can't move at present because my computer froze up and I had to shut down yesterday.  Gotta get the game back to the right point.  And I almost typed a move last night before that happened, but things went awry.  Anyway, I'll move this afternoon after work.

Well this is my last time here. I've avoided my problems my whole life and this weekend I've finally decided how to deal with things. I just wanted to say thanks for giving me something to look forward to every week. I hope you all have charmed lives and I hope you take care of each other like you took care of me! I love you guys!

Peace to those I was lucky to meet here:
Leonardo, I hope you are doing better, you gave me a welcome lifeline when I needed it
Danfun, thanks for making this place interesting, I wish you the best luck with your hard situation
Duracell, I wish I'd had more time to talk with you and explore your very different imagination
Frink, thanks for keeping us all from getting too serious
Ender you're always good at making a guy think
Warbler you are the mainstay of this place so don't ever change
Neglify, you will always be my favorite rogue
Imperial Scum, I think I understand a bit of where you come from
Post Praetorian, sorry for the miscommunications, I think we got our wires crossed more than once
Ryan McAvoy, you have some good principles
DomicCobb, I think you and I could have been good pals if we'd had the time
Possessed I wish I could have known you better--you seem like you'd be fun to hang out with
dclarkg, I didn't talk with you nearly as much as I would have liked
Hairy Hen, I think you must be a real card in RL
Mrebo, I think you have a good moral compass--I envy you
Puggo, I wish we could have talked more because you seem to know which end is up
moviefreakedmind I think we only really talked once. I wish we could have said more together.
Handman, you don’t say much, but when you do it is spot on
Jetrell Fo, I found you pretty insightful
NightStalkerPoet, I hope you get the money you need someday.

and most of all Ric, thanks a bunch man--I know I leaned on you a lot so I want to say that you really made this place work for me.

And if there is anyone I missed, thanks for hanging out with me for the little while that I was here.

Life can be such shit sometimes, but with the right support a guy can get through almost anything. It was great to have that support for once, even if just for a little while.


Peace.

 Trident, this does sound like a suicide note, and I assure you, you have come to the wrong conclusions.  I work with suicidal people every day on the job, and I promise you as I promise them that life is worth living.  It is hard, but there are resolutions to problems.  There is no turning back from a successful suicide, and life only gets harder if unsuccessful.  Please think hard about what you are doing.  People love you, even we as strangers who will likely never meet you care enough about you to tell you not to do it.

B4nd-c4

It definitely feels like chess, but, like shogi, it is still something very different.  Very orthogonal, a lot of limitation in movement, but interesting in its own right.  Most interesting are the cannon pieces, but you are already familiar with them because we used them in my Ito Shogi game.  If we like it, we could move on to Korean chess, which is similar to Chinese chess, but with fewer restrictions and different cannons.

Have A Rhyme Of A Time
Time

So this evening my wife and I had a fun date

And though our outing started a bit late

It was totally worth it because we both viewed

A dinosaur escape, then chaos ensued

Yes, we finally caught Jurassic World

Though it was a bit gory and I nearly hurled

It was also filled with much of the fun

That defined the first film, Jurassic Park 1

With just the right combo of wonder and fright

And humor that I now consider my night

A night well spent with my lovely bride

But now that I'm locked up safely inside

I'll end saying this was a most worthy chapter...

Wait! Did I just hear a velociraptor???
