I assure you this is far less than a book chapter.Fair use applies to this quote.

::::Why? Because it is far too long - we're just copying a substantial amount of content you would otherwise have to pay for. That is not fair use in my book. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 12:26, 15 September 2014 (UTC) |

- Click the link for the onering forum discussion. Go to the third page of the thread. It's down near the bottom. A post with a thorough recounting. You'll be amazed. --Narfil Palùrfalas 14:51, 16 November 2006 (EST)
Reading... the very ideas being thrown out there are just... so... I'm not sure if there's a word... Abysmal? Horrifying? Demeaning? Evil? Abusive?

- It's easy to look back and laugh, now, but -- knowing how much grief some of us give PJ today -- can you imagine the screaming if this had actually been made? --Ted C 09:22, 20 November 2006 (EST)

Well! I suppose that puts things cinematic in perspective- Boorman was obviously determined to live up (or down) to his name (just as PJ managed to be bungling and demonstrably clueless) —Unsigned comment by Bregalad67 (talk • contribs).
