Thanks, Warb. I almost burst out laughing right in the middle of class.

At risk of coming across as a total nerd ("NERD! Quick, hit 'im with a playground ball!!"), my screenname comes from a Mon Calamari Jedi character I ran for years in the old d6 West End Star Wars RPG.

(Star Wars d20 = t3h suck)

7.1 is great and all, but 5.1 is plenty enough for me.  Hell, even 2.0 has its place.

All good points, but personally all I care about is that movies are presented in the crystal clarity made possible by DTS, the superior format. DTS FTW!! ;)

@frink wtf!!!11!! its been a hole day sence you updated your twitter where did you go1!!!???????????????

The "luring the Death Star into a trap" rationale works except for one small quibble: the Death Star plans had NOT been analyzed yet. Leia didn't know whether or not there was a weakness in the DS that they could exploit. Remember this?

Leia said:

The technical readouts of that battle station. I only hope that when the data's analyzed a weakness can be found.

And even if she was completely confident that a weakness would be found, she had no way of knowing how long it would take the Rebel analysts to discover it. Essentially, she has no reason to suspect that a marginally successful assault on the DS is even possible, and she doesn't know that there even is a weakness to exploit. All she seems confident of is the fact that Vader & Tarkin are tracking the Millennium Falcon. And yet, oddly, rather than switching ships at some planet somewhere or taking R2 somewhere else to get a complete technical analysis done, she leads the Imperial Forces directly to the secret base that she wants to protect and they want to destroy.

Dramatically and cinematically, it works. But it makes no logical sense whatsoever.

^Ditto to what ChainsawAsh and Sluggo said.

@Sluggo mega lolz! Epic p0wnag3!!

He deleted it, Ady. Which isn't entirely out of character for him...

Yes.

Obama the Hutt was all gung-ho to introduce some new, progressive space-legislation, but sadly I discovered this little gem of the internet far too late. I guess the New Republic will never get the sweeping hope and change that it deserves. :(

Yesterday was my son's one year birthday. Amazed at how quickly a year passes...

I don't think I even WANT to know what that entails...

Lower case...lol.

In the modified motivational poster as well. Heh.

Re: your car; great news, man! Do keep us posted. We're rootin' for ya.

Akwat iS a lazy frink impersonator, that kicks a man whilst hes down.

Hmmm. The word "is," even when the second letter is bolded, certainly doesn't begin with an "s." Simultaneously (heh), your post does not constitute a proposed Frink assassination method. So, even without mentioning your little personal attack, I think I'm justified in putting you on...

PROBATION!!

:P

Add my name to the "perma-ban Dark Gryphon" consensus. What an insensitive tool.

DAYV, our paths haven't crossed very often, but I've always enjoyed reading your posts, and words can't express how bad I feel about your plight. My sympathies, and my prayers, are with you...

Keep him in perfect health and immortal in a protective bubble until the heat death of the rest of the universe and then give him a choice of floating in a uniform sea of infinitely spaced electrons forever or burst the bubble and create a new universe, a Frink universe.

L, M, N, O...K?

PROBATION!!

Ah, I see. Your airtight logic and rhetorical finesse has left me speechless. I gladly withdraw. 

If you're so tired of it then why are you spending time on a message board whose sole purpose is to oppose the film making philosophy embraced and embodied by GL and LFL over the last thirteen years?

Furthermore, one might add that you have little latitude to accuse anyone here of arguing ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Perhaps you would find it more palatable if every post on this forum merely said, "I think the colors on the bluray release will be fixed"?

Geeze, ABC; one would think you had it in for Frink, given your rapidfire assassination proposals. Or maybe you just have the hots for Frink...

Maybe give everybody else a chance to string 'im up this time? ;)

Arm a small tactical thermonuclear device and stick it up his nose.

TV's Frink said:

Also, I appreciate being called "The Great Frink" in the thread title.

I hate to burst your bubble (especially since I've already gone and created a thread devoted solely to plotting your untimely demise), but "great" is actually meant to modify "thread," not "Frink." But I suppose if you're into reader-response criticism, then by all means let the appreciation flow.

Also, ABC, you've earned your way out of PROBATION via your unbridled enthusiasm. Given the macabre nature of this thread, I'm not sure whether or not that's a good thing. But congratulations nonetheless.

And, to keep things moving:

Xylophone, giant: drop one on him from the twenty-seventh window!

Impale him on some particularly sharp cheddar cheese.

Prologue was absolutely amazing in terms of the technical achievement, but falls completely flat in terms of the storytelling aspect. My wife, who isn't a big Star Wars fan, couldn't follow the plotline at all. Also, the attempt at preserving saga secrecy by hinting that Vader might actually be Dooku = epic fail.

Leguman said:

I don't dare saying what's on my mind for the Following one...

I've been wanting to say this for a long time.

PROBATION!!!

(Unlike Frink, I won't be keeping track of who is and isn't on probation in the OP; that's just way too much work. Lazy Akwat, was lazy.)

TV's Frink said:

Although I think the punishment for actual assassination is a bit light.  Shouldn't that be grounds for being put in the Permanent Asshat category?

The point is conceded. OP will be updated. If I ever get around to it.
