meh.

 

Ah, I remember the days when a comment like that was enough to make a man draw pistols. The fancy kind, with the pearl handles.

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!

Pizza Hut gingerbread men.


80s Pizza Hut in general. I miss the old logo, the myriad hut shaped restaurants, the red & white tablecloths, the placemats with puzzles on them and the little red pencils, the gingerbread men, submarine sandwiches with potato chips...

I only ever got to go to one full Pizza Hut restaurant. It was pretty cool, I wish they'd kept some of those around. Like a Shakey's, only better pizza.

Is "eh" better or worse than "meh"?

I'd post an interrobang, but the last time I tried that it just showed up as seperate question and exclamation marks.

I guess add Campbell's Chunky Soup - Beef and Barley and Frank's Sweet Heat BBQ flavour to the list. 

I has a sad.  :(......

the Nostalgia Critic.

I've been watching Buffy and Angel again and I just wish they had found a way to keep telling stories in that universe, on television without a break, forever.

Storywise a Slayer show beyond the Buffy character had the potential to rival Trek or Who as a television megalith.

There have been and are so many shows internationally that seem to be riffing the Whedonverse that it just seems more sensible to me to have the real thing back permanently rather than having all these Buffyesque things like Twilight, Being Human and True Blood etc. Even RTD era Doctor Who played like a cheap Buffy knock off at times.

The comics I imagine are fine but it's a television story.

It should be told televisually.

Nostalgia overload...except sub sandwiches, never had those there.

Pizza Hut today is an embarrassment, but in the 80's they were awesome.

I think a full Pizza Hut survives in the town next to mine. They have a pizza buffet none of the others that are long gone around here had.

On a related note, anyone miss the old 80's Chuck E. Cheese? Back when Chuck was actually a rat, they served alcohol, and there were actually games adults could enjoy? Not to mention that cool lounge with the animatronic lion belting out Elvis tunes!

Where were you in '77?
