I speak, read, and write English better than most people (say, 99% of them), and I'm a writer and editor with 20+ years in the business--including lots and lots of proofreading experience!--so maybe instead of getting all defensive and pulling out the lame excuse, you might try learning something.
And, no, "casual" or "informal" does *not* mean "I get to make it all up as I go along". Unless you care to admit that perhaps you had nothing to say in the first fucking place?
In any case, using crap like "alot" just makes you look wilfully ignorant.
FYI there is news critical of major corporate transnationals in the USA, too. Don't be so stupid as to believe that criticism is the same as free speech.
The original poster's frame of reference is one based on ignorance of what "Left" means to everyone else on the planet except for the US libtard lunatic fringe. Now kindly fuck off.
there was a short news blip about this recently on NPR and Ford said he would be willing to have a role in the new movies with the condition that his character dies.
I thought this already happened in the original trilogy with the corbomite business and all...?
Do you really think they wouldn't be able to afford him? This is a new Star Wars movie being made by Disney, they can and will spend whatever amount of money they need to get whatever it is they want, and they'll still turn a profit even if it sucks.
He certainly doesn't need the money like some of the others but if he's expecting a 10 million dollar payday, he must be going senile. Sean Connery can still command top dollar, but Ford? That's just not going to happen?

Like the OP said, this is Disney.
If they want to cast Chairman Mao for the part, they can afford to pay to have him dug him up, fixed up to look good, and reanimated with robotics and a vocoder.

Thank you for "explaining" the too-too-subtle wordplay to us, Captain Obvious!

Maybe it even teaches them that "a lot" is two words, if that's not too much to hope for.
Are you dense?
Given the nick, I'd suggest "vaporous" as more appropriate.
I'm the only Slashdotter who's read John Varley?
You're doing the bright-but-butthurt 14-y-o thing pretty well there. Keep up the good work.
I hereby award you this thread and 10 Internets. (OP is defo making stuff up.)
Yeah, the fine print does rather spoil things. That and my partner's likely reaction to me blowing 15 grand on something like this...
Ah well, fun while it lasted. Still need to find a really good pinball game for my Android tablet, though.
(You folks have no idea what a pain it was to get round the filter to post that...)
You're thinking of circletimessquare. I think he changed it a while back. Dunno what ever happened with the film he was supposedly making.
Only in Ronnie's case, they did it before he was inaugurated.

The voices in my head used to agree, but no longer.
You don't want him "fresh" you want him to slowly turn to jerky rather than totally dried out crispy like King Tut.
Reindeer jerky I've done. Likewise 'gator and 'roo.
But... No, just No.
Sorry to tell you this, but now that Jesse and Strom are gone, that joke is, too.
In the immortal words of Dennis Miller: "Not only did I inhale, I drank the fucking bong water afterwards!"
Your hatred is so great and unthinking as to automatically perform s/Android [and|or] iOS/iOS/g on everything you read.
Fascinating.
ZOMG pinball.
ZOMG touchsreen.
ZOMG programmable.
ZOMG PINBALL
*nerdgasm*
You want to work with one of the most sophisticated instant-publication systems on the planet?
You don't mind that you'll be using it to document one of the world's most widespread AND maligned softwares, do you?
Great, I'll send you an enrolment form.
True, I was using "dig up" figuratively.
(/me wishes now that he'd used Hugo Chávez instead, could have looked prescient and all that, ah well...)

That better as "Depends on Sith" work would, think I.

It's Henry Ford
Clever. :)
