Why isn’t this series called 16-bit Cinema? Accuracy and alliteration bonus.

Why are they wasting time on trailers when they should be making actual 8 or 16 bit games of the film - I’d play it 😃

Some Rogue Once concept art - a fair few seen before elsewhere, some not so much…

You have passed the test - and move on to the next round 😉

(yes, it may well be in the wrong thread - doh! Sorry 😃)

Sean Spicer ‘spent several minutes hidden in the bushes’…

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/sean-spicer-spent-several-minutes-hidden-the-bushes

http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1075247

To be fair - it may not be the first, or last, time that Spicer will likely be hiding in bushes…

😉

(a shame the journalists didn’t turn the cameras on the bushes and start asking ‘why are you hiding in the bushes?’)

This off camera meeting was actually planned ahead of time so it wasn’t like he was hiding for some dubious purpose. The condition of the meeting was that there was no video feed recorded.

Sean Spicer spent several minutes hiding in bushes - and in fact it seems he was hiding for a dubious purpose - in that he didn’t want to be filmed for a meeting taking place - which was agreed upon by the media present during his time whilst hiding in the bushes.

 

from the article…

"After Spicer spent several minutes hidden in the bushes behind these sets, Janet Montesi, an executive assistant in the press office, emerged and told reporters that Spicer would answer some questions, as long as he was not filmed doing so. Spicer then emerged.

“Just turn the lights off. Turn the lights off,” he ordered. “We’ll take care of this…. Can you just turn that light off?”

Spicer got his wish and was soon standing in near darkness between two tall hedges, with more than a dozen reporters closely gathered around him. For 10 minutes, he responded to a flurry of questions, vacillating between light-hearted asides and clear frustration with getting the same questions over and over again.

Actually I believe part of the article is incorrect. I saw the opening of this interview before I turned to something different (before the cameras went off). John Roberts said they were just waiting for this briefing and they might get permission for audio recording. Sean Spicer was nowhere to be seen on the stage by the sets but everything else had been arranged prior. I did not see that woman they say came out.

So I don’t know that it really matters but what I saw and how it is reported starting here is a little different.

Again, what you believe is irrelevant - let’s just try and stick to the facts, yes? and not pass off opinion/belief as the fact, eh?

What the article says is NOT incorrect - and there was no pre-arranged meeting/briefing for those media waiting - as the Press Staff had stated that he may do a briefing - though that he (Spicer) definitely wouldn’t be saying more that night.

Spicer has just finished a pre-arranged outside interview with Fox Business - but to get back to his office he would have to pass a waiting media wanting questions to their answers - Spicer then hid in a bush! Several minutes passed and then Janet Montesi, an executive assistant in the press office, emerged and told reporters that Spicer would answer some questions, as long as he was not filmed. Spicer then emerged…

so it had not ‘been arranged prior’ as you claim.

No need to be shitty mate. This is supposed to be a discussion, not a pissing contest.

😦

Not being shitty in the slightest mate. You are right though - this isn’t a pissing contest - it’s just getting to the facts (so far).

Discussion is always welcome - no-one said it isn’t.

And opinion, belief and varied discourse should thrive and be encouraged in the quality forums like we have here - but let’s not get away from the actual events and facts of the matter(s) being discussed - nor try and portray opinion or belief as fact, yes?

I just don’t appreciate you saying that I was trying to portray my opinion or belief as fact. I was just telling you what I saw, nothing more. We have plenty of posts in this thread that read as if they’re doing what you say and for the most part they get left alone. Ask me fine, but there is no need to be smarmy.

😉

No mate - not being smarmy either.

If you find a post that corrects you with actual facts - to your false claims - and call them smarmy or shitty then that is on you. Don’t try and deflect or project these insults onto others who are just supplying facts, and in turn undermining your points with the truth.

I’m being patient with you. I’m being polite - yet to the point (with facts). I’m not saying you are shitty or smarmy etc - like you have me. But enough is enough - if you can’t handle the truth or facts being pointed out to you then that is your problem - no-one elses - so lay off with the sly personal insults.

So…how long until McCabe is fired?

How far away is Spicer from a hedge?

There may be a correlation between the two 😉

edit - removed the non Star Trek pic and put his one in instead 😉

I expected to see hoverboards in that article dammit!

Ikon (by Graham Masterson)

An enjoyable edge-of-the-seat thriller executed in explosive fashion. Based around a secret Russian take-over of America, Ikon poses some devastating political problems, particularly the assassination, resignation and disgrace of some of her presidents - with the implication that they had known about the secret all along…

I’ve read it before - but something about the events of today draw me back to it…

😃

‘This Is England’ likes to change name between series too - though thankfully just adding '86, '88, or '90 on the end. Still a bit confusing as my memory from that time is a little hazy - and events seems to merge between the years…

anyway - http://www.screendaily.com/news/channel-4-recruits-deutschland-83-sequel/5110390.article - I hope his girlfriend is back too, and that Chinese agent too - quite alluring, if a little dangerous 😃

Star Wars - The Last Jedi trailer, in an 8-bit stylee…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk7B90uceMg

Flash Gordon (1980) - Gordon’s still alive!!!

a fun and camp sci-fi adventure with some great ham performances and delivery of lines. Cult classic 😃

Deutschland 83 was pretty decent - an eight episode German television series, focusing on a 24-year-old native of East Germany who in 1983 is sent to the West as an undercover spy for the HVA, the foreign intelligence agency of the Stasi.

Cracking tunes from the time, some great pacing and tension - and a welcome throwback to how life was back then 😃

Roll on Deutschland 86 - which should be out next year…

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/comey-requested-more-money-russia-scandal-probe-firing

I haven’t found anything that proves this has been confirmed one way or the other so I don’t know why Rachel Maddow would even suggest it has been.

That you haven’t found anything doesn’t not preclude from the event happening, nor the story from being true, nor that the actual claim that Comey requested more money and staff, from being newsworthy in itself, does it?

By the way, although the article is featured on the Rachel Maddow blog - it is actually by Steve Benen - as stated in the actual article.

So from that article Rachel Maddow has suggested nothing.
