I hope you didn't get rid of the Talking Pie. The Talking pie is you "heart." *
Just a'wondering, is this the official, "FINAL" draft, now? And while I've got my Nosy-Parker-Hat on, how many drafts did you end up doing on the previous films?
Also, when you say "turning it in," who do you have to turn it in to? And does that turning process entail the right of the turn-ee to make edits or raise objections?
And are you now, or have you ever been a member of the communist party? And can you point out on this doll where the defendant touched you?
Sorry for the barrage of questions; but I'm genuinely curious. Especially about the touching thing.
Good luck in Vegas. Advice: 1)Even if you are not a Trek-booster, GO TO THE STAR TREK EXPERIENCE in the Vegas Hilton. It *must* be seen & felt to be believed. Also, if you get a chance, rent a car & go out to either (or both)Red Rock Canyon, or Valley of Fire State Park. Valley of Fire is where the ARENA episode of Star Trek was filmed; you'll spot the rock immediately, if you are even 1/20th of the nerd I am.
Seriously, though, gambing is fine fun, and experiencing the odd, fake stuff of the uber-casinos is awesome, but sometimes it is really amazing to be reminded of how spectacularly beautiful and alien our planet could be. Those places are literally breathtaking, and provide a strange emotional counterpoint to the fun crassness of Sainted and beautiful, trashy & wonderful Vegas. And their sheer power and majesty make for a romantic backdrop, as well.
When you go out there, consider this estimation of the Bellagio- I always think of it as a perfect, but fake, simulation of class.
