With the exception of Hollywood, most people don’t openly in front of other people ....

It was, albeit poorly done, a joke. It wasn’t directed at you if that’s how you took it, seems like you might have misinterpreted the intention?

Maybe lighten up and follow your own advice

First - Hi Im zoom44, most people just call me zoom or Charlie which is my first name, Administrator here on the forum

B- I wasnt saying you should have searched, I was saying the fellow who made the video could have looked here or elsewhere to get actual pics to include in the video instead of just going with the drawings. I don't mid at all you posting the video up since it's relatively new. Unless of course you are the person who made the video and just posted it to get more clicks to the video. That wouldnt be good. I'm assuming you aren't- I assume positive intent on your part

Maybe?
Who knows?
He said it wasn't directed at me although he was replying to my post.
No worries.

No, I think people ZOMG-flaggelate in general over this kind of stuff. It didn’t come to fruition for a reason. One of the issues is that it weighed 940 lbs. It was deemed an R&D money pit. The “interesting” factor falls off quickly when it comes out of your own pocket ...

and it was also an opportunity to mock the elitist Hollywood douchebags ...

two birds, one crappy joke stone

It's interesting to me that RR thought it had potential enough to get to that point.

The only way to find out is to try. Apparently they found out.
