New forum software status - updated 1/4/2006

OK so I'm a little unclear on this whole 'ignore' function that will be in the new forum software. How will it work? Will it just block PMs from a user or does it not display ANY posts from whomever you've 'ignored'? If the latter is the case won't that make the threads seem kinda wonky like people are responding to themselves? Won't ignored posts in the latter case show up when people quote them?

I saw it (how could one miss that yummy cover! ) and I continue to loom forward to this film. Only problem is the timing will be bad for me as my wife's due date is March 17th as well. She probably won't mind me missing the birth of our first child to go see a cool looking film though.

On the comics front, this weekend I read the 'Villains United' mini series from DC. Not a bad read but obviously my enjoyment suffered from the usual 'part of a greater story arc' problem when such a big event (Infinite Crisis) is going on. Still it helps my slow coming up to speed with current events in the DCU.

I still have many MANY doubts about this film, but at least I can respect filmmakers who seem to honestly answer questions:

During interviews at this past weekend's WonderCon, "Superman Returns" director Bryan Singer has denied rumors that the film's budget has gone over $250 million or talk of extensive reshoots.

"There's some idiot [who] wrote somewhere that the movie was $250 million, which is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I'll tell you exactly: The movie was budgeted at $184.5 million and will probably climb with visual effects and variables that occur in a movie of this magnitude, with 1,400 visual effects, etc., to somewhere still south of $200 million. Which is still a great deal of money, but it is by no means ... what was published in that" said the director.

As for the extensive reshoot talk? "There were none. We're probably going to do one day of pickup in Los Angeles, but there was none. What I did was I switched my schedule. I had shot for about 105 or 107 days. Originally, I was going to shoot for 128 days, 130 days, And instead, I stopped. I decided, because I was so exhausted and the process was so long, I was starting to lose my objectivity. So I shortened the schedule and stopped shooting after ... what I believe was 107 days. And then came back to Los Angeles for about three and a half weeks, and then went back and finished the schedule in Sydney".

Of course my heart sank again when I read this morning that Singer will re-start work on his 'Logan's Run' remake as his next project... but that's a bitch for another thread!

Actually its not a bad idea though 5-10 posts per *day* might be it bit too severe. Perhaps limit the amountof posts per *hour* or something.

But then again I can see Jay's point about having as much freedom as possible in the forums and allowing us to self-police by flaming the crap out of trolls until they give up or cross the line. So basically I'm straddling the fence, which I'll have to say is not the most comfortable thing to do...

And it WAS nice to see Matilda May again on screen, at least those of us who nudely... er, I mean *fondly* remember her from 'Lifeforce'!

Oh. My. Golly!

You all know- he's right! He's absolutely right! We never, ever, ever thought of it like that!

With one stupendous post we have all had our ears boxed and our silly little deluded lives put straight.

My bags are now packed. I for one am renouncing everything I've said or read here at the fourms and going right out to buy whatever current version of SW on DVD is available. Oh wait- I *am* George Lucas, so I don't *have* to buy it.

I'm having such an identity crisis! Who am I.... help me.... help me...

I may be wrong though....I thought young Indy was quite boring anyway.


Ford had a bit on at least one episode as middle-age Indy...

but in several episodes (I believe it was several) actor George Hall played the 93 year-old 'modern-day', eyepatch wearing Indy.

Of course you realize that by George Lucas continuity standards it means that Ford as Indy will be killed off at the end of IJ4.

Which gets me thinking... not that GL does many interviews but if he did there *should* be nothing to stop someone from totally calling him out on various issues and really put him on the spot. Prior to the PT Hollywood seemed to hold GL in the same esteem that many fans did- 'oooo he's GL, isn't he all reclusive and improtant'. But these days (and even in those days for that matter) what 'power' does Lucas have other than over his own company? Its not like there aren't other effects houses or sound studios that can do a good-as or better job than ILM or Skywalker/THX and I *certainly* doubt many more high-caliber stars will be beating down his door to be in a GL film (if in fact any are made anymore) I would imagine any interviews GL does are very scripted as well and I honestly can't remember an actual 'live' or somewhat live appearence. But man- what I would give to see a Conan or a Leno just lay it on the line with some of his revisionist history BS! One can dream...
