Previous thread

The saga continues, can't stop won't stop

Since the last thread is waaaaay over 5,000 -- let's continue the discussion here!

As was said in the last thread:



And here's a link to the one that succeeded that one.

Now ... discuss!

Yay! This feels comfy

And can someone explain to me why Storm trolls get free reign to do whatever and get other posters who are in good standing banned?

Umbra, gone
Diamond Princess, gone

But the same people including a predominately a entire board can do whatever?

So this is what it's like when the inmates run the asylum so to speak

[Johnny P. Sartre]

What the hell happened?

wait that's why they both got banned?

yo I wondered what happened to Umbra, he was a pretty cool dude, sorry to hear that. I don't usually go over to the x-board cause most of the time I'm there it's either talking to frog or posting in the silly threads (not the godawful man that's not even funny just mean spirited why would you post that) kind of threads

What the hell happened?

New thread required after ten thousand posts cause we talk too damn much?

[Johnny P. Sartre]

I mean with the banning and trolololling.

With the spoilers:

annulment of BP/Storm's marriage

end of spoilers the Storm "fans" who've hated the marriage/BP have been making thread after thread in the x-board saying how happy they are, they of course have filtered into discussion of AvX #9 threads as well as the BP appreciation thread where myself and Diamond Princess tend to hang out.

One very known troll who has popped up in that thread before of course popped up and when I made some posts saying to take a hike my posts are deleted while the trolls posts stay, Diamond's posts were deleted as well and she was fed up with it but stayed while I figured it's best to just leave the thread or I'd wind up getting banned which sadly appears to be what happened with Diamond Princess while said troll is still allowed to troll away.

Said troll started a thread a few months back designed only to troll BP fans and sadly everyone fav member of that thread got banned while that same troll didn't even get so much as a slap on the wrist

I made this same post in the BP thread and it got deleted, I know Diamond was already looking towards leaving and I know Umbra is over on the comicvine boards

Good role for him but he's going to have a big schedule.

Lee Daniels, Hugh Jackman Teaming To Tackle MLK Assassination Conspiracy Theories In 'Orders To Kill'

This is interesting... So Lee Daniels apparently couldn't get his original MLK project off the ground (titled Selma, which had David Oyelowo starring), and has switched gears, still staying on the MLK course, but this time teaming with Hugh Jackman (who was also attached to Selma), to take on Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in a new film that will reportedly explore an "unconventional view of King's murder."

To be titled Orders To Kill, the film will tell an alternative version of the MLK shooting, according to the LA Times, with Daniels directing of course, and Jackman starring.

The film will tell the story of William Pepper (Jackman), a controversial attorney and activist who for decades has argued that convicted killer James Earl Ray, who recanted his confession and died arguing his innocence, didn't shoot MLK. The picture will follow Pepper over the years as he wages a one-man campaign, interviewing witnesses and building support for his theory that other interests, including those from the U.S. government, were behind the 1968 Memphis killing. (In a nutshell, Pepper, who is still alive, argues that government interests wanted King dead because of his opposition to the Vietnam War.)

The film will be based on William Pepper's book of the same name, which has already been adapted to screenplay format, and is apparently ready to be shot, with Millennium Films producing and finance the film, which is currently being shopped around to distributors in Hollywood.

Unlike Daniels' Selma (which was reportedly held up because family and close friends of the King estate didn't approve of the project, which would have highlighted some of King's vices), this project is said to have the support of Martin Luther King Jr.'s son Dexter King, who himself believes Pepper's story about who was really behind his father's murder.

Further...

A 1999 wrongful-death lawsuit against a man and unknown co-conspirators filed by the Kings and argued by Pepper found in favor of the plaintiff. The trial will be the climactic section of the film, according to the person familiar with the project.

Since Martin Luther King, Jr.'s, assassination, his murder has been fodder for endless conspiracy theories that rival those of JFK's assassination (which Oliver Stone tackled in his film 2 decades ago).

From King's son Dexter meeting with James Earl Ray in prison in 1997, professing his belief in Ray's innocence, to then Attorney General Janet Reno's reopening an investigation into the assassination in 1998, to a jury awarding the King family a symbolic $100 in a wrongful death suit a year later - all have helped keep alternate theories of MLK's death alive.

James Earl Ray maintained his innocence until he died in prison in 1998.

Lee Daniels has his hands full here. I won't be surprised if certain forces ensure that this project is never fully realized (to add to the already existing conspiracy theories).

But this could be a good one, depending on execution. Let's see how things develop...

I've been rather civil about my response to whether or not we at the BP Appreciation thread are held to a different standard than other forum members.

I want to be clear on this though, I believe we do get held to a different standard, and not an equal one. I think there are reasons, reasons I won't go over unless it's via PM because frankly, me bringing it up is against forum rules.

That is pretty much literally how we all specifically got here in the first place.

Exactly. Which is why I'm not really pissed about the forum activity specifically.

I'm more angry about the industry itself lately. And how I feel like the only way any black writer is going to have a legit impact is by going full on Jackie Robinson as well as being head and shoulders above the rest.


Either that, or there needs to be an influx much like the British Invasion in the 80s.
