Did I mention you should read the book?

ps The book is much better. You should read it.

Hopefully in these times of Hollywood remakes, someone may decide to remake it more to the book........but I doubt it :(

Of course the pony would be CGI, and talk a lot.

Hey, even a moderator has to cut loose once in a while. Just don't let it go to your head.

John C, you mean to tell me they allowed ponies and girls on subs.... and in that book too. Blasfemy says I. Isn't anything sacred anymore? ... aaargh. ;)

You've seen what Lucas is going to do to the Han vs Greedo scene for the special 6-movie 'Star Wars' re-release, right?

Is the CGI pony named Jar-Jar?

Yes, and the "Greedo shoots first" debacle was about the worst moment in film remaking ever -- disgusting. I mean the real one, not the YouTube version, which I thought was very funny.

Well, I better go read that book.

Next thing you know, we'd be arguing about who rode the pony first...

That wouldn't surprise me at all if it was real, he just can't leave things alone can he?
