I agree that a definition of God must be offered before it can be meaningfully discussed. If someone wants to point to their toaster and call it God, well, their toaster clearly exists so I guess their definition of God exists, although I don't find the label "God" particularly useful as it doesn't give me any information about the thing that the label "toaster" did not.

This is the same view I have toward defining "God" as "the universe."

In a nutshell, I find conventional definitions of "God" to be improbable and without merit, and unconventional definitions to be nebulous and without value.

With 24 hours to fill either way, I figure we might as well. I don't know if that's factored into the schedule on the site but since we've built breaks in between the films we've got wiggle room.

Two spaces with monospace type, one space with proportional. I always double-space while writing scripts and single-space anything else. Code-switching, y'all.

But then, I type capital letters by toggling caps lock on and off, so take my typing recommendations as you will.

hey look star wars

I would rather this thread not fall into being political -- we should start another thread for political discussion if so desired -- but I will just say I'm still not clear on what "conservatism" means, or what the "good" version is that people insist the modern American right-wing does not represent.

Most of the stuff I gravitate toward discovering and learning more about is, naturally, film-related. I'm certainly interested in other topics, but I don't always find them just due to the circles I run in and websites I read.

So, this is the thread to post cool or interesting sites or articles on topics not related to films or filmmaking. Let's introduce each other to new and exciting worlds of knowledge.

With that in mind, try to make posts/links educational. Don't just post a picture of a cool building, for example -- link to the architecture site explaining who designed it, what their thought process and goals were, etc. I don't want to just see something cool, I want to learn something cool.

Annnnnnnnd GO.

WELL I DONT LIKE HIS FACE

Hell, EMPIRE started shooting without even having a finished script.

I just remind myself that STAR WARS was a clusterfuck pretty much every step of the way and managed to turn out okay. It's tradition!

Wait, am I being optimistic? WHAT IS HAPPENING. HELP ME.

Ah, that's William Goldman's view, and why he rejects rumors that he did a polish on the script (he never would've allowed that scene). Perhaps I was quoting him and it seemed like I was expressing my own opinion. The movie didn't make enough of an impression for me to bother forming one, honestly.

Getting to midnight will be the easy part. Making it to noon again the next day is the real challenge.

I think the Three Cs of England is probably my favorite bit.

Anyone who makes it all 24 hours with us should get a little Deathly Hallows badge.

I'm not saying they will, mind you, because I don't know how to do that. But they should.

Drinking would be incompatible with my attempt to stay up for 24 hours. You'll have to make do with me being buzzed on caffeine.

Maybe I'll get hammered for the anniversary show or something since the world is crying out for my belligerent inebriation.
