The "Introduction/I'm Back" Thread

Freeze rays are cool :sunglasses:

Freeze rays are indeed amazing :-D) *hugs Virginia.

TSFan, my favorite movie is…impossible to decide. Some ones that I really like are Sweeney Todd, The Incredibles, Inception, The Dark Knight and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. But there are a lot of films I love.

Oh, my nephew gave me a VHS of Inception! I didn’t really understand it, was [spoil]Cobb dead the whole time[/spoil]?

First of all, how you got your hands on any form of Inception is a mystery to me, and the fact that it’s VHS just “blasts my mind” as Russell Peters would say. Second of all, you should edit your post and put spolier tags on it, so other members don’t have the movie spoiled for them. If you want to discuss Inception, there’s a thread for it here: [url]Inception - Film, Television, Music & Books - Pixar Planet Forums

Sorry, I “spoiler-tagged” it, as you said.

My nephew gave it to me on VHS, but the quality is very shaky, and at one point you can see shadows of people on the bottom of the screen, so I have a feeling it’s bootleg, unless it’s some kind of new movie gimmick.

Thanks for adding the spoiler tags TSFan :smiley: Yeah, from the sounds of it, it’s definitely a bootleg version of the film.

Can you tell me why it’s called “bootleg”? Is it because the people who sell these copies of Inception and Toy Story 3 stuff them in their boots?

Actually, that is where the term “bootleg” came from. In times of war, alcohol wasn’t allowed on the front lines, but soldiers would sneak it into battle in their boots! Er, ahem…sorry about the history lesson. Anyway, over time, bootleg just came to mean smuggling in general, so pirated versions of movies are considered “bootlegged” copies.

Wait, pirates sell bootlegs? How do they not scratch up the glass alcohol bottles with their hook hands? You’ve confused me, Devil Genus. :cry:

Not all pirates had hooks for hands.

Pirated just means stolen, or copied TSFan. I don’t think pirates sell pirated copies of films, but then, I’ve never known any pirates. And good point there K9Girl. It’s prejudices like that that hold pirates back.

Oh, thank you for clearing that up. Are you a bootlegger, Devil Genus? If so, do you sell alcohol or Inception VHSs?

Uh, no. I’m not a bootlegger. And I don’t even have a VHS player anymore. Anyway, I have to go. I’m leaving for the theater in a few minutes. Talk to you later TSFan :slight_smile:

What movie are you going to see?

I can’t believe they locked up another thread of mine! Philusea promised me I could make threads in the Off-Topic section! I’m quite sad. :cry:

That surely is terribly tragic. And yes to continue discussion, Badminton can be quite violent. I remember once when my competitor continued to bat the ball up high and I had to look up and stretch all the time. We played for over an hour and at the end I got back pains.

I locked your thread because we already have one universal thread just for people to introduce themselves and talk about themselves. So you are allowed to make threads in the off-topic section. It’s just that we already have an intro thread here. :wink:

Welcome aboard by the way.

Thank you, Stark Swordmar. I forgive you.

Well everyone, it’s time for me to till the fields. I’ll be back soon, don’t cry! :slight_smile:

Well, the name is The Star Swordsman, but hey, that name sounds pretty cute!

TSFan: Hey! I’ve been meaning to ask you a question, but all your threads get locked up before I can! But I hope you don’t think me so bold as to ask, how do you even know to type? You have admited you know so little about all technology!
