Actually, anyone at the Chinese theater can verify we are two different people (despite the fact that I am pointing my finger at you).

Problem with the Chinese Theater (or all of Colorado Cinemas) is that just about everybody is way too lame to actually post! Cmon, somebody prove me wrong!

That would be some coup, though... having somebody pose as Brad for Ian's visit. Imagine getting them upstairs and into the booth on a Thursday night at UA's flagship theater. Just for Ian's visit! I like playing with Ian's mind but that is just too much trouble

I bet Evans can prove mathematically that we are two different people!

Do we have anyone here who knows anything about linguistics? Surely there's a way to distinguish Brad from Joe by means of writing style or something like that. (Or maybe prove that they are indeed one in the same.)

Evans will, most likely confirm that you are one person,possibly with a split personality.
However I am sure that you now realize that the cover game is over and I doubt that anyone who is registered and or lurking would belive a posted picture is correct. For instance, the picture of Joe wearing the film-tech cap, clearly the hat is 5 sizes to big. The hat clearly belongs to a person with an enormous head. A head so large it contain's one of the world's biggest brains and that translates into cover up. We are now into year two of the "Brad/Joe Put-on-show". Clever devils that you are.

I once heard of that New York City suburb "Colorado" which I understand is on the other side of the Hudson River. Also, if anyone out here can zoom in on the tip of that finger we may be able to pull the print off electronically.

Scott, They have this all planned out in advance and as the did in "The Manchurian Candidate" they have pre- programmed Ian Price and Dwayne Caldwell who may in reality be automatrons. Notice how they always have the same expression in their posted photo.

Ever notice at Film-tech get togethers, Brad/Joe always have an emergency. We have to take their word for it. Well our neighbor's from Missouri say "Prove it!".

Have a nice day.

While I also enjoy playing with Ian's mind, I also agree that is too much trouble. Of course, Ian never was smart enough to check ID.

I have faith in Evans. He will definitely be able to prove this beyond a mathematical shadow of a doubt, despite the fact he has not met either of us.

To the rest of the members, pay careful attention to Bob's picture. Notice his expression never changes either. Hmmmmmmm.

Hey Joe, what _did_ happen to Erika Hellgren. Your right, she doesn't post here anymore.

You all know that in Reality Brad makes a good point. But how does he know for sure that the picture that is posted is really me.
Just because someone, let's say, Gordon McCloud were to send it to Brad and say this is Bob Maar at Showest. Does that mean it's really me. What if that picture is really, Paul Thompson?

You know, It's possible Ian Price is really Joe Redifer who in real life is Brad Miller.
Could this all be a cover up because Brad/Joe is married to Rachel Carter? How does Randy Stankey fit into all of this.

I heard a rumor that John Pytlak actually found a picture of Brad taken from space but when he posted the link, it mysteriously disappeared. Hmmmmm

Other people have informed me that Joe Redifer was present at the birth of the solar system. Maybe the "Big Bang" made him the way he is.

I will abide by the results of Evans study.

For some reason, I knew someone was going to say that.

I probably can't do it right away, since I have a tough homework problem due tonight. Maybe tomorrow I can start analyzing this?

No, Evans, this IS your homework assignment! The extra credit you'll get for this will more than make up for the "F" you'll get on the actual assigned work.

I don't plan to make an "F". I made a 94 on my first test and a 95 on my first homework assignment, so I'd like to continue making those kind of grades. My final exam is 2 weeks from Wednesday. It's a graduate level (CS642) image processing class and it is very mathematical, using some mathematical operations I haven't used since 1986. The neat thing about the class is that a lot of what I'm learning is directly applicable to some of the discussions that have taken place on these forums, especially those concerning digital projection and filming.

Wish me luck on the homework. I have not made a "B" since I started working on my Ph.D., so I surely don't want to screw up and make one this term.

Nice to have some humor after the unpleasantness last week.

I have an idea. Everyone make an image of what they think Brad looks like. Maybe Brad can award a prize to the person who creates an image that looks the most like Brad.

It's definitely more fun than working through the mathematics of image restoration techniques.

Evans,

That is a good idea, but those who have actually seen Brad will have the unfair advantage here. So we would have to limit the entries to those who have never met Brad. But then again whose to say that Dwayne Caldwell "The man with the Magic Hands" could not also be Brad? After all both live in the Dallas area according to the place under thier respective names. I Triple Dog Dare you to prove mathematically that Brad is not aslo Joe or Dwayne or both.

I am going to be in Irving Tx in June. I have exteneded an invitation to Brad to have me bring my reel of trailers up for private screening, but have not heard wether he has access to a booth to run them in or not. For that matter have not even heard if I can meet him in person either. The mystery continues.

Now look what you have done Brad/Joe. People are really getting confused. Poor Evans who does so much and expects so little in return. Evans I won't be satisfied unless you ace this homework assignment. As you can see I am willing to wait your decision. I want you to know that I appreciate your "genius", no matter what comes out of Colorado and Texas. I also like what I see from William Parr. His post makes an awful lot of sense.

We have Brad and Joe talking to themselves? Which is kind of hard when you are one and the same person. Maybe they have more than two personalities, remember "All about Eve" I think she had five.

Maybe we should introduce Brad/Joe or JoeBrad to "Eve", I "Even" like that.

Now leave Evans alone until tomorrow. He needs and has earned his rest.
