| | Posted: | | | | C'mon people! Keep it going! Almost 10 pages, arguing about friggin' puppets! WOO-HOO!  Do any of you actually watch your DVDs now? Or do you just sit staring at them, cooking up the next pedantic, pointless argument? With the greatest respect, Skip, asking your wife's opinion and then presenting it as solid gold fact because of her alleged approval is... absurd. I thought it was running out of steam, but that's when the thread found fourth gear and so the arse-kicking contest could continue! Genius. | | | Jon

Do any of you actually watch your DVDs now? I watched Star Trek on Saturday night. Awesome movie. I don't think there were any puppets in it though. Can anyone clarify if there were puppets in it? Do we need a third party source to clarify if there were puppets in it? God I hope there weren't puppets in it. I entered the whole cast and didn't enter any puppets. I'd hate to get screamed at in the forums because I buggered that up... Oh, and I watched Angels & Demons that same night. Pretty good movie too. I'm 99.9% sure there were no puppets in that film. | | | | The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play. |

That means we are to follow the primary rule and, under the circumstances described, follow the additional rules. Can I ask what makes you think that? I am sure you can think of many examples really easily where that is not the case. But as I pointed our it is academic since even if you follow that standard credits talks of actors these are not actors but puppeteers so why are we not good to go? |

Well I follow your logic Grave, but I don't view the primary rule as subservient to whatever follows it. I view the primary rule as just that and everything answers to it. Thus the puppeteers do NOT meet the test.
The primary rule as you call it refers to actors The secondary as it were refers to Puppeteers that's fine since it's a different category. Eg Meal Rules When it is cold outside a hot meal must be served In addition to the above: Steak must always be rare and served with salad. You must eat jelly(o) with a spoon and eat a portion of fish on a Friday. A pefectly workable set of rules but we know what to do with steak, jelly(o) and on fridays no matter what the weather is. |

Can anyone clarify if there were puppets in it? I thought Simon Pegg acted like a wooden dummy, perhaps you should put (puppet) in brackets after his role??  | | | |
