the weapons that the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Russia and China have now are too big and thus unusable from a political point of view. A smaller weapon that is actually usable from a tactical standpoint would actually be more humane than many of the systems in use now.
So you mean that we're moving away from weapons that we could never possibly use, to weapons that we can?
*whew*

The thing that I found equally offensive and hilarious, is that it said "Your email was selected off the Internet based on your voter demographics." My voter demographics?!
For those of you who want to sign up for this suit, here is the link [jacobylawyers.com] to the lawyers registration form.
Okay, since I'm talking about lawyers here, I'll qualify this by saying that I'm about to state an opinion. So don't sue me, okay?
This law firm, who is handling this class action suit, is little more than a bunch of ambulance-chasers. These guys have advertised here on KTLA and KCAL since I was a little kid. They always seemed creepy and slimy to me, like that Larry H. Parker guy...even as a kid, I wondered why good lawyers would need to advertise on TV.
Someone else said it here, someplace...doesn't it strike anyone else as strange that this suit was filed right after the IPO? That just sort of stinks to me.
Also, I've been using PayPal for a few months, to accept payment for some eBay auctions, and I've never had a single problem with them. Of course, I think I've had a grand total of 6 or so transactions, so YMMV.
After reading all of this, however, I'm getting my 50 bucks out tonight.
The only thing cooler than this, would have been to make it a Slashdot Poll...
But it would really suck if she decided to marry CowboyNeal.
Congratulations, man. Welcome to the ranks!

Dude, what are you trying to do? Corner the market on yourself? Or maybe you're hoping to buy up all this stuff, so future generations won't know it ever existed?
Dude.
How could I pass up the opportunity to own one of the worst movies ever made? It's like finding "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or the remakes of "Planet of the Apes" or "Psycho"...like a terrible car crash, I can't tear my eyes away...I just happen to be involved in this particular pile of stinking crap, and, believe it or not, I don't already own it...and I'm pretty sure that a DVD version is not on the way.

Well, I'm not exactly objective here, but I think the 4th season was the best one. I can't quote you titles and guest stars (and I'm sure I'll catch hell for that), but I thought we had more winners than losers that year.
And, of course, in a flash of brilliance, I chose to celebrate that streak of great shows by quitting.

I wonder if they'll return my calls on this one?
*grin*
And now that you're on this thread, I'd like to ask a few questions about the show, if you don't mind: What is Anne like when the cameras aren't rolling? What's the deal with the $500 amount (You can't bank when it's on $1,000, but $500 is added every so often at the end of a round)? Do you know why no other original series members played?
When I ran into her backstage (literally. crashed right into her), she was really nice. She was all smiles, warmly shook my hand, and all that. It was really cool. She even made a comment about how she wasn't supposed to be nice to us, and she'd better put on her 'mean' face.
When Roxann left the stage, there was a close shot of her blowing a kiss and mouthing, "I love you." If that was in your direction (as it seemed to be), then why is she saying you were rude and "coming on to" her? I would have dismissed it as an act if I hadn't seen her poor acting skills on the few Voyager episodes I could stomach and if I hadn't seen Slashdot posts to the effect that you wanted to apologize to her.
I have no idea what was going on with her. I had forgotten that she voted for me in the first round, and I really did think that she was playing with me. That's why I said that I was voting for her out of spite, because I thought she got the joke...but when we were in commercial breaks, and I tried to make sure that we were cool, she totally wouldn't talk to me, and was kinda cool and snippy towards me. After seeing her comments at the end of the show, I guess she really was pissed at me. Which made me feel really badly, because I never meant any disrespect, or anything like that.
Someone also mentioned that you were shocked when a producer called you arrogant. If you were acting arrogant for the show--and my wife says you seemed fairly humble on the Diary-L list a while back, so I tend to believe her--then people who are seeing you for the first time (like me) are going to think you're arrogant, even if people who know you know different.
Yeah. Thing is, I've done hundreds of shows for small, live, comedy club audiences in the past year. I was really playing to that studio audience, who totally got the joke. I should have been playing to the home audience, but I didn't think of that until later. I also think that the producer was saying that to get a rise out of me. They do that, you know. They want to get you riled up, so they can take the most indignant, bitchy, or nasty soundbyte and use it. I was very aware of that, and didn't want to fall into that trap. That may be why Roxann came off so mean towards me. She may have said funny things, and that's the only one they took.*shrug*
Bottom line is, I got 10K for the EFF, and that makes me happy. I also got to raise awareness for the EFF, and that is way more important to me than some stupid thing between two actors, or how I'm percieved.
Hmmmm if you were playing for the money for yourselves, I could see eliminating any threats. But it was all for charity... no matter who wins, it is for a worthy cause, I can't see why you wouldn't let the best man win.
This is *exactly* the idea we all had, and why I was glad to be voted off. I blew some really easy answers, because I choked, and my brain skipped ahead...I mean, Paul Newman? C'mon! The worst thing was, with that one, and the ACE bandage one, as the words were coming out of my mouth, my brain was screaming at me "YOU'RE WRONG, ASSHOLE! YOU BLEW IT! SHUT UP, WESLEY!"
The three of us left knew that I was going to be voted off...I totally tanked in that round. So I was going to vote for Levar, but Anne was grilling us between each round, and I thought I could have more fun with her, talking about how Levar is my friend, and I didn't know Robert at all...thought maybe I could get in some comments about how we TNG actors have to stick together, or something...but they didn't air any of that exchange.
Yes, voting off someone who you KNEW was the strongest would be insanely stupid...but we all knew that my vote wouldn't count for anything, since I was doomed, anyway.
How much creative control do you have, and how much will you maintain, if the show is a success?
I have firsthand experience with the idiocy of networks, so I'd be very interested to hear how you pitched the idea.
I'd also like you to know that I have been a fan from issue number 1, and used to curse your being in college, and not being able to put out new issues. Paul the Samurai is one of my favorite characters, in any medium, of all time.

The thing that I found equally offensive and hilarious, is that it said "Your email was selected off the Internet based on your voter demographics." My voter demographics?!
Okay, anyone who knows me at all knows that I am about as far from Republican as you can get, and I am about as likely to vote for Bill Simon as I am to cut off my own leg.
So what exactly were they going for, by targeting my "voter demographic"?
I'm wondering just how much exactly they spent on this study...
Please, please, please tell me that money was diverted from an athletic program to fund this research.

Not to be pedantic here...but aren't most films enjoyable, as long as you don't expect much from it?
The Curse, and Python notwithstanding, obviously.
Hey, at least our names rhyme...imagine the Project Mayhem we could pull on the set...
How 'bout it, Joss?
anyone to think that they can watch/participate-in violence or porno and be completely uneffected by it is foolhardy.
Yep. I agree. If I watch porno and I'm not visibly affected, something is horribly, horribly wrong.
I'm not happy with the result either.
Yeah, neither am I...I'm still lookin' for work!
