I’ve been waiting all day for this comment!

I’d probably use it for camera gear, or books.

Or a run at my favorite CD/DVD store.

IIRC, I think George Clooney, in the past, has sold his (at auction?) and donated the proceeds to charity.

Really, anymore, it seems like 90% of the stuff is just...crap. Nothing I’d buy even if I had the money.

YES. I second this.

That book came out around the same time a friend of my brother’s was going through a bad stalkery breakup...I had just finished it and immediately gave my copy to her.

...and he’s a talented film director in his own right. :)

That’s awesome :)

Exactly. In the book Once Upon a Galaxy (the making of Empire), they mentioned things being rewritten in the course of filming.

YES. THIS.

THIS. I found his remark that Marsha was a “pretty good editor” such passive aggressive BS. Another who left Lucasfilm was Gary Kurtz, who felt Lucas was doing stuff to make toys (for example, the Ewoks). Just finished reading “How Star Wars Conquered the Universe” and it goes into some of these conflicts. Also, it…

Kasdan was the clincher for me, too. He's always done solid work.

As i recall, 30-40% of the first film were re-written by Gloria Katz and Will Huyuk, uncredited, to punch up the dialogue (they also worked on American Graffiti). First draft of Empire was done by Leigh Brackett, who sadly passed away shortly after (I actually found her draft online recently, but haven't had time to…

Yup. I was 11 when Star Wars came out, and had a crush on Luke. Empire came out when I was 14. The hormones had kicked in by then and HOOBOY....Han Solo became the star of many a naughty daydream.

oh I know that—I’m referring to the type of sub. Fast attack subs traditionally sail with the fleet, on 6-month or longer deployments. I knew several guys who were stationed at Bangor sub base here in WA—their deployments were 90-days in length. Boomers basically sit on station and wait for orders to launch their…

these were boomers, tho. They don’t go on the long deployments with the fleet—it’s usually 90 days out and back. Unless that’s changed since I was in...

Yup. When I signed up in the mid-1980s, it was because my Dad and I had a huge falling out about college. I went in for the training and the G.I Bill.

I was a plane captain in a squadron of TA-4Js (2-seater Skyhawks: VC-10 out of Guantanamo Bay), back in the mid-80s, and I know our pilots had a blast flying them. Even the guy who failed out of Top Gun liked ‘em.

So, the Dbag trifecta is in play?

I wish I knew—my sister went through the same thing. Never had to wear an overnight pad EVEN overnight when I younger...stupid hormones.

I thought it stood for douchecanoe...
