Is it just me or is there something awfully repugnant about this message?

I love hearing about Brian's new products but who is David Ross? A fan or a

I apologize if anyone was offended by my message -- it seemed to be on topic as far as I could tell. I'm not a businessman....I just found my old collection and thought it would be appreciated a lot more by someone who was a real collector. I'm still a fan!

 

David Ross

 

That's cool David, they're just pulling your chain.

It's always good to know what's out there to purchase. I know I don't mind.

I would buy them myself but I purchased the whole set a while back on ebay already.

 

Selling and trade would be a great addition to this egroup, but just as long as they would be offered here first before hitting the open market.

I am waiting for a movie... Not a big, fantastic, extraordinary movie... But, a "Planet of the Apes" remake with positive and negative points. It's normal. I believe in Tim Burton's talent and experience. But the original "Planet of the Apes" (1968), directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, always will be in my mind  - because it's a wonderful movie!

hey can you add another choice, like "not sure" or something? I'm
interested in seeing the remake, but I'm a tad skeptic, so none of
those choices appeal to me.

me:

yeah I think that is dumb as hell. it's not like they wouldn't have
older talent to play a Taylor character, e.g. Harrison Ford or George
Clooney.

Like I said, I'll be anxious to see it but I'll remain a tad
skeptical until then.
