Needs a new thread.  Make it so.

[The Minsky Moment]

I'm not doing this again, I almost killed off Mel Brooks, and with the Spaceballs sequel about to release.

They started production?

He was just briefed on current SW events since the OT.

Script is being written.

Only older Québécois like me will remember Kim Yaroshevskaya.

A Russian emigrant, daughter of revolutionary Russians who fled Stalin's purges in 1933 at age 10.

She created a character named Fanfreluche, a doll who read stories and then interacted with the stories by entering the books to change it for a better ending.  I loved that as a young kid, which were reruns by then.

Died this week at 101 years old.
