Dearest George:

How could you take the 'baddest', most completely dark character in the history of cinema and turn him into a whiny little bitch?

Of all the injuries perpetrated on a beloved franchise and its long-suffering fans, this one cuts the deepest: making Vader a caricature of the archetypal villain we all knew and loved to hate.

Holy Annakin-on-stilts, Batman! What were you thinking?


Love Always,

zoid
(a.k.a. 'Robin', but don't tell anyone; it's a secret identity)

P.S.
Oh, wait. I already know the answer: 'dead presidents'. Please disregard.

Instead, do you think Princesses are really irresistably attracted to self-confessed infanticidal sociopaths? I don't know many women who would bear the children of a man who had admitted to the wholesale slaughter of "women and children". But maybe political careerwomen hear that and go, "Oooh! I love him so! I want some of that in my womb!", hmmm? We obviously hang out in different circles of humanity, you and I.

Basically more of the same - DVD sales are love, etc. - but... apparently an army of Baby Stewie fans sent *diapers and baby food* to their targeted network exec. I'm thinking, um, *not* taking that particular page out of their book? Heh.

Although I suppose we could all send shotguns...

Erm, so DVD sales then. ;)

THE NAME:
?
So far...Re-unification Day or Independents Day.
(I'm maybe a little concerned that these are too obscure. If we're doing this in public, does it need to be more direct?)

11thHour, I'd love to use some of your posters but I'm apparently doing it wrong and having no luck. Help!

Every time I left-click on the link, my computer sounds like it's going to explode and, after much fuss, shows me a tiny section of the poster that's blown up so huge that it's ridiculous. Every time I right-click on the link and try to Open or Open to a New Window, I get the image & it looks okay, but when I do a Print Preview, again I get only a small section of what would be the poster in huge proportions. I haven't tried Save Target to... because I'm afraid the same thing will happen: gigantic image.

I know I'm doing something wrong, but I just don't know what that is. Any advice you could give me would be appreciated. Thanks!

Anyhoo... actually the "Save As Target" function is the one that folks tell me is the way to go. (I use a Mac so I just click on the image and do a "Save to Desktop" thingy.)

Don't worry about the image appearing extra large in your browser window... it's perfectly okay that it looks that way. The reason why it looks so large is that you're looking at the high resolution printing version with the lower screen resolution.

It's kinda like looking at the image with a magnifying glass. The entire thing is there, but you're just seeing the part through the magnifying glass.

Give the "Save As Target" a try and don't worry about the image looking big. I appreciate how you're putting the effort in to make this work... it can be a bit daunting at first if you're a bit new to doing this kind of thing. Please let me know how it turns out... I want you to be able to use the posters!

I tried just opening it to its own window from the link, but again I was only given a small part of it when I checked the print preview (or I could print it on 3 pages, which still wasn't the whole image). The only way I got one of them to come even close to working was when I opened it to a window and reduced it to 20%, but that didn't fill the page so I didn't print it. I guess I need to keep trying. Or maybe I need to get a Mac?!?!

Hey, we could do a browncoat version of bookcrossings! http://www.bookcrossings.com
People 'release into the wild' copies of books so that others can enjoy the same books they like, but we can release copies of the BDM! This could be fun, getting us lots more recruits and making Universal and that which shall not be named to sit up and take notice.

This can be printed onto any sticky label and affixed to the inside (or outside I suppose) of the DVD case.

I hope this gets off the ground - it sounds like a great way to promote the BDM !!

So buy a copy, put the label on it, and leave it under a tree, or on a bus, or outside your local DVD store! Please!!
