To quote Dara O'Briain, it would be the supreme irony if Ray Parker Jr ended up afraid of Harold Ramis's ghost.

It's impolite to speak ill of the recently deceased, so I'll just say RIP Tony Benn.

What happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370??
The news networks have gone nuts trying to fill air talking about this. their experts are crazy saying everything from super natural to hijacking the plane to a terror friendly state. What chills me is no cell phone contact from the passengers makes me believe something happened to them early on 230 people lost their live for some stupid cause or reason.

The Malaysian government is covering up the truth Dr. No. They know what probably happened but won't reveal it. How does a huge plane disappear from all contact? :evil: :shock:

Latest I heard is that the jet was hijacked for its 'intellectual property' (guys who hold billion dollar patents) and it wouldn't make sense to kill them; so hopefully everyone is still alive. However, a few weeks ago two airline pilots agreed from the reports that it's likely the jet crashed; they just differ in the details.

I'm even more puzzled by this tragic event ow than I was before. It's obvious the passengers are dead, not contact and no cell phone activity make it clear something happened to them. As for what and why I worried well not find out for a long time.

I can't really blame them for not wanting to be bound by books, video games, comics etc which would have attracted a fraction of the audience that the movies did.

It's like Star Trek all over again as the novels, comics, and video games are all non-canon. I was hoping the Star Wars Expanded Universe would not be ignored in the Sequel Trilogy unlike the Star Trek Expanded Universe is for the Trek films and series, but it's all for the best. Maybe it's best to see the EU as a parallel universe in SW.

Max von Sydow too. I wonder if Serkis will be playing a human or a CGI character. Everyone assumes it's the latter, but you never know. It looks like all the surviving main cast members from A New Hope are returning, except for Dave Prowse. I think that, and the fact that it is always referred to as Episode VII, should put to rest any fears that it will be a Star Trek-style reboot.
