I've quoted your .sig because soooo many of the comments don't really >>address the proposed "movie" so much as appear to be anti-Colbert, >>anti-liberal screeds.
I too think yet another movie to add to the franchise is probably a
waste
of time, and certainly doesn't help Professor Tolkien's legacy. But if
a number of you are bashing the movie solely because someone involved
has
politics you don't agree with, maybe you're in the wrong newsgroup.
I'd suggest alt.fan.ad-hominem.
Whoosh
Thanks ever so for making me defend Ubi. The implication is that he got
the job due to Hollywood connections and promoting the right politics,
not for having a successful record of adapting novels into movie
screenplays. And no matter how much political shitposting he does, it
doesn't prevent you from pay8ing for a movie ticket and seeing this in >theater when it opens since you are determined to prove that politics
won't make this unentertaining.
The idea that a /sig/ produces an implied meaning into a post is
insane.
It does, however, tell us something about the author.
And what it says about the author is that he is incapable of
separating political and non-political topics.

hearing about? :)
You may despise Ubi but at least he figured out how to use a .sig
delimiter. Can you figure it out too?
This, however, is a valid criticism, under the circumstances.
(I confirmed that Agent, at least, will nor recognize it as a sig and
omit it from a response.)
