Thanks for the update! I'll hop on over and check this out now...


(I can tell I'm having a bad day when I keep typing in old passwords, trying to figure out why it doesn't show me the update... 'gravesen'... sheesh! *facepalms*)

i think this is the first thing i have come across, thats going out to the world (international) where sector seven is seen as part of it.
copy this new poster and zoom WAY into the top right corner, closeup its easy to see:
Property of cube (its the s7 cube logo)

zachhar ya forgot to quote the last part of the message it reads:

P.S. Reggie, can you believe its been 30 years to the day? Me, you and those foreign exchange twins at the chinese. good times.

this shows that simmons first name/nick name is reggie and 30 years ago to the day (or may 25, 1977) these two had a good time, the wording "at the chinese" seems odd and outa place.
in history may 25 1977 was the birthdate/opening day of star wars so maybe its refering to that, the chinese theather in hollywood.

Sorry about the goof

If it helps.. it seems everyone is the SoCal area around Hollywood just says "the chinese" when referring to a movie shown there. It just part of our local lexicon.

FYI.. Star Wars debuted on May 25, 1977 as thelost1 said and if my scratchy memory is still intact, I saw it 4 times and it was NOT showing at the chinese at that time. Could be wrong but I think they got it later. My thoughts on this are as follows: The people generating the disinformation are young and weren't around at the time of Star Wars opening. Heck, they probably weren't even born. Also, it could be a coincidence that that date coincides with the release of Star Wars and simmons and john were actually seeing a different movie at the time. They mention the "twins" as a good time. Standing in line for an hour or two was not considered a good time even back in those days. They may have opted for a movie that was out and had good reviews but no waiting in line. Finally, god it sucks being 40 and knowing all this stuff from "back in the day". =p

Doing what I can, when I can.

Heh. I remember being around 7 years old and being babysat by the grandparents when my parents went out to see the original Star Wars. Had little to do with it at the time. (Though I remember seeing Battlestar Galactica when it was first released. Weird, eh?)

Anyway, littleiron from the tfw2005.com boards found a website where promotions for the movie were found in Taipai, Taiwan. Photos can be found here:

It might have to do with the fact that the "poster" does have an influence of Star Wars
