He will have completed his task as a man and a filmmaker. What nonsense. Rick McCallum is the biggest ass kisser in Hollywood.

The "he's completed his task" fluff is moronic. The Jedi Master _________________________ The anteater is wearing the bagel because he's a reindeer princess. -- my 4 yr old daughter

David Lynch has essentially done the same thing very recently. I can definitely understand the motive. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V

peppergomez Veteran Registered: 05/21/02 Posts: 14231	Given how bad Old Fatneck's last five or so movies have been, I'd say he completed his task around 1981. _________________________ Mobo ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME (REV 3.0) Memory CORSAIR XMS3 8GB DDR3 GPU 2 EVGA 680 FTW 4GB CPU Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz) Drives 2 HITACHI Deskstar 3TB 2 Crucial 256 GB SSD Displays 3 HP ZR30w 30" monitors UPS Cyberpower PP2200SW PSU Antec High Current Pro HCP-1200 1200W Case COOLER MASTER CM Storm Trooper Drive LITE-ON Black 12X Blu-ray CPU cooler Noctua 6 Dual Heatpipe Fans COOLER MASTER SickleFlow 120 OS Windows 7 Premium

It totally wiped out the meaning of Han Solo as a character. I could go on (and on, and on), but I'll stop here. Forget SOPA, they need to make a law to stop people from ruining their OWN IP.
