I agree. Mulholland Drive's pretty conventional compared to some of Lynch's earlier, better work, so this is a pretty fair rating.

Barely any L. Ron Hubbard books.
Oh, c'mon now, tell us the truth -- how many of his books do you really own? ;-P

Sure! I'm of course just giving you a hard time. It's a great list. I'm sure mine is much bigger, hence the joking insult. I may get around to posing that list some day, but it would take a looooooong time to put together.
Oh, I know you were just joking around. If I'd thought you were being serious, I would have given a decidedly mean-spirited response. =P
Robots.txt is a cunt and a dick all rolled into one, isn't it?
I don't understand the AOTC>TPM thing myself. Even when I first watched it in my teens, back when my tastes in TV and movies were uneven at best, I found AOTC underwhelming in comparison to the prior movie. AOTC didn't even have a single half-decent lightsaber duel.
Is it just me, or do they make ¡GONK! droids bigger thirty years after ROTJ?

If you're talking about Ben seeing Han in his Scooby Doo chonies, I'm totally with ya.
I think Han is the type of man who likes to go commando.
Would it console you to know that I once had the Book of Mormon in my collection?
Now, for my daunting list:

Have you always wanted to post a comprehensive list of every book you own but have been too afraid to do so in other threads before now? Well, now you don't have to worry; this thread is completed devoted to such incomprehensively long lists.
You can also list comic books/graphic novels/trade paperbacks/etc. if you wish.
(This thread is not insured against Bunny™ attacks.)
^Get a medium, hold a seance, and you've got it.
Maybe Chewie ate 'em. ;-)
^Lazy Photoshop job was lazy. Dodonna wasn't actually killed by Vader in that picture, though (as this part of Wookieepedia's article on the man will attest).

I must say that I find it interesting how many atheists enjoy the movie, when the movie itself makes such a case for love breaking barriers imposed by cold, precise, exacting physics.
I wonder if a love-powered hyperdrive ever made it into a children's show or movie ...
Can I create a thread dedicated to talking about everyone's book collections?

Ah, now I'm recalling that time a few years back when a poster on TFN was suggesting Anakin's description in Truce -- along with his depictions in the old Marvel comics and the comic adaptation of one of the Thrawn books -- be altered to look like Hayden.
God, those were good times. Really makes me miss the days when I frequented TFN on a regular basis and read the erudite comments posted by all the intelligent SW fans there. *rollseyes*

Just make sure to stop after the ROTJ adaptation. You wouldn't want to go there, tis a silly place.
While I agree with this in general, if you skip the post-ROTJ comics you also miss out on Lumiya. IMO, she's enough to make those later storylines bearable (Well, not so much the last couple issues with the Tofs -- those are irredeemably awful.).

I've heard some mixed things about the Courtship of Princess Leia though, maybe even from this site?
Truce at Bakura no good... or maybe it is? Care to elaborate?
I don't think anyone who likes how the Leia/Han romance unfolded in the OT can read The Courtship of Princess Leia and come away without feeling at least mildly annoyed with how this story cheapens Leia's feelings for Han. I suggest you skip over it.
As for Truce at Bakura, again, like I said earlier, I found it an enjoyable read at the time. It's been a couple years since I read it, though, so my memories of the book aren't fresh; it could be weaker than I remember it being.
