Let's put up some money and buy the WHOLE rights for Star Wars. So we can release the O-OT. I can contribute with 50 dollars. Here, I'll put my 50 dollars in the basket, and if you do the same for our glorious O-OT, Jesus will bless you. Can I hear an amen for that?

* Organ music playing. Picks up money contribution basket, passes around *

C'mon everyone, donate now, for our good cause. It's the blessed O-OT. Halelujah!

Things that Scared You as a Kid

As a very small kid, at 4 or 5, my great-grandmother scared me, I kinda remember she coming to speak to me, and she was very old and spoke spanish, and I remember crying and running away, behind a sofa and everyone laughing. Than, I remember I was scared of Judge Doom from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", I remember watching it at the theater and (oh, by the way, SPOILERS) when judge doom gets skwatched and flatened I was horrified but kept looking, and when his eyes come out and he looks up with his red eyes and skeeky voice, I lost it, I just covered my eyes for the rest of the film. To this day, I blame Cristopher Lloyd and Robert Zemeckis for my insanity... I can't remember anything else that really scared me as a kid.

That question was addressed a couple posts above:

THX-1138: I believe the problem was that the people on the commentaries speak their minds and don't hold back negitive comments. Like the screenwriter of From Russia With Love calling Ian Fleming a "Snob", or Director Terance Young recalling Chris Blackwell's Pot Smoking habbits. The MGM commentaries are just to NICE, and hold back any real objective comments.


I see. Well, they could've added that disclaimer, "the commentaries here do not reflect MGM's opinion or view and are responsibility of the blah blah blah"

I was wondering about this too. I'm an MSN Messenger man myself - my username is mattfitch at hot mail and you are all welcome to join my contact list. I think it would be very cool to chat to some of you in real time.


Added you to my list.

Ahhh, I think I got one:

Inside the card:
"Happy birthday Jimmy. I can't belive this little brat has lived enough to turn five. I got this card because I thought you would like it, it has those damn robots you liked so much when we went to see that f**ed-up film a few months ago. Gladly you are only five, and too f**ing dumb to read what's written here. Hopefully this will be the last birthday card I'll have to send you.

Screw you,
Grandpa
October - 1978

PS - Note to the parents: burn this card, I don't want the little f**er to read this when he learn to read."

Ric, surly there must be a more afortable HR system. I'll give you that raise if and when you find one. I want to see the account books asap. I want every transaction accounted for. I will make sure you are not helping your self to company funds. Oh, you're on probation until further notice.


Yes, I have found a more afordable HR system for our half-dozen employees company. It's called a notebook, I have this thing called pen, and I'm writing down all the names of those who work for us, and their hire date and sallary. Until we have a hundred employees, that's gonna be just fine, then we could move to something fancier, like a spreadsheet (OpenOffice of course, so we don't spend a dime).

The account books are right over here. While I did pay the 1.3 million to a big shot corporation to sell us an HR system, they were promtply bought off by Oracle - which is buying everything that has an office - and since they are terminating their HR system since Larry dosen't want anything better than the Oracle product, we had our money back. So it's not even a problem anymore...

Can I be out of probation now? Eh? Eh?

NOT Brosnans fault, though. I belive he was an excelent Bond, he just got some bad films. I liked The World is Not Enough, had a plausible and comprehensive plot - not like the one in which the news guy wanted to rule the world, or when the north korean who had an extreme makeover tried to rule the world with a giant heat ray (although they had a similar silly plot in Diamonds Are Forever and that worked out a bit better).

LOL I remember that one... It's an old one, in which Homer goes to a "all you can eat" buffet and isn't allowed to eat all he can.

"Your honor, let me show you how much mr Simpson ate that day"
