Or at least ask about creating it in the "New Thread Thread" first.

And for god's sake, use some punctuation on your sentences!

And take some of the punctuation OUT of your username, while you're at it!

Wait...

Is this the right thread for this?

You are not seen Inception!?!?!

IGNORED!

AND... you Spelled Shonxy wrong, AND YOU ACCIDENTALLY the STAR WARS OT?!?!?!?

PERMANORED!

FOREVAR!

Film?

First I get cut out of the naughty sexy stuff because of >syntax error in line 20 and now I miss out on saucy home movie footage probably involving custard in Wellington boots (if the thought that just popped into my head is anything to go by).

This is an outrage.

Proof enough for me!

IGNORED!

I'll never tell.

Er... you CAN zoom in.

Yes!  To Bingowings you must LISTEN!

Oh thanks!

...

Er... which one?  The one above Frink's that shall hereafter not be mentioned?

Bingowings said:

Inception? 

Is that an American college term or something?

Is this a clever way of confessing that YOU have also not seen the movie?

IGNO... er... I'll wait for your response.

This time.

Fine, not the key grip.  How about the guys that designed "Dexter Jetster"?

but do you really think that the Key Grip saved Christopher Nolan from making Inception a musical comedy about the holocaust

YOU DO NOT GET TO SAY THAT NAME UNTIL YOU HAVE WATCHED IT!  NEVAR!

Oh, and that reminds me.  Aren't you ignoring me? ^_~

When it suits my purposes.

I'll never tell.

So you're not so different after all.

You both have the same height, the same build, you both kiss the same way, you both draw your guns the same way, and you both sing the same wrong words to Amazing Grace.

If only you'd been watching Inception... you'd be that much closer to being unIGNORED!

It's certainly an opportunity anyone would jump at, and, just because they haven't become huge names yet doesn't necessarily mean that they wouldn't be able to turn in a good product. 

I think it does.  Since they're so desperate to keep their seat at the table, I think they're less likely to try to stick their heads out far enough to get them cut off.

I have to jump and say I think a lot of you are looking past hal's point and that I think he has one.

Better artists and artisans and, shock!, paying someone talented to help write the scripts, the dialogue, and to direct would have gone a long way.  Hiring someone with the talent and the, *ahem* cajones to stand up to George when he was wrong... That would have cost more money.  Money that George apparently wasn't willing to spend.  And because of that, he has a few more bucks (maybe) than he would have had.  And a crap reputation to show for it.

It's his loss.  It's our loss.  And it sucks.

Some good pre-Prequel discussion on who the "Dark Jedi" would be, what their motivations for being such would be.

It was basically OT.com fourms before OT.com.

Or TFN before there were prequels to agrue about.

Or the Old Republic.  Before the Dark Times, before the Empire.

Nothing like trying to bury a thread to keep it at the top of the pile.

This might be my most successful thread ever.  EVAR.

:)

Many apologies.  Delete the thread if desired.  (and please don't ban me!)

1-3 Blah blah blah from someone who "don't care to see Inception"

4.I have not seen and don't care to see Inception. There. I outed myself. Happy? (Although I will probably see it during my Oscar prep...so I guess I lose)

 IGNORED!

thread in poor taste self censored two seconds too late.

Looking like he could kill TheBoost was necessary for the role?  What did Sluggo (of Sluggo and TheBoost) have to say about this?

New thought: does this image prove that most sequels suck?  Or that critics are harsher on sequels?

Or maybe a little of both.

Pretty darn interesting.  Both up close and zoomed all of the way out.  Let's just say that Spinal Tap would like this chart.

I, of course, would rather see it trend all sequels, reboots, etc.. and not just the original and first sequel.  But I realize they would need a new method of infograph to do that.

Also, I think they should have used red/blue and shades of purple to represent the financial deltas between the sequels, as oposed to just the size of the bubble to represent box office of the sequel.

The site has a lot of other cool graphs too.

Frankly, I think we've been funnier here than those ol' RASSM'ers were back when.

But here are some links to some of the classic hijinx:
