"Mace Windu never told you what happened to your brother."
"Tell me enough, he did! Tell me you killed him, he did!"
"No...I am your brother."
"Nooooo! True, that is not! Impossible, that is!"
:P
I've decided that this year for lent, I'm going to give up my New Year's resolution. That's not against the rules or anything, is it?
TV's Frink, every time I see one of your posts, my peripheral vision catches your custom title and initially it looks like it says "Cultist Wacko," rather than "Cutlist Wacko."
This has been a public service announcement.
I'm sorry, Ric; I just assumed you knew I meant "every single character except for that handsome devil, Ric Olie is in some way repugnant and unsupportable and he just wasn't given enough screentime, or else the series would've been a masterpiece."

The prequels are a good versus evil story, where evil wins through deception. In some ways it was a deconstruction of the original, but ultimately the Jedi were still fighting for right, and the seperatists were bad guys.
I respectfully disagree. I'll grant that, as things presently stand, the separatists come across as bad guys. But the Republic & the Jedi come across, IMO, as corrupt and ineffective at best, despotic and morally compromised at worst. That's one of the big problems I have with the PT: there's no one to root for! Every single character is in some way repugnant and unsupportable.
I don't know if it qualifies as "great" or not, but I'd have to go with The Goonies. Boy, that movie pisses me off.

Wow, what a crazy thread this has turned out to be! Apparently herd mentality, like the intricate subtleties of face shapes, is something that only VINH is capable of detecting.
Ah, civility, thou art a gem.

Are you telling me that in all his reviews he cracks jokes about killing women?
I know! How annoying! Don't you just hate it when people get hung up on peripheral issues and absolutely refuse to let matters go? Geez!
Why George probably won't stop meddling with Star Wars:

You make it sound like you know this guy personally and that your certainty of his guilt is based on some kind of inside knowledge.
Haven't you heard? VaderIsNotHayden's insights are clearly right all the time, no matter what.
My name represents the height of utter nerdiness. Akwat Kbrana was a Mon-Cal Jedi I ran for years in the old West End Star Wars RPG.
Pssst...don't forget to include something about Scientology, or you'll find yourself back on the probation list faster than you can say "dianetics!"
I got it from my handy-dandy English-Latin/Latin-English dictionary. Aula is "court" or "hall" and Pudendus is "shameful." Granted, I'm no expert in Latin, so the grammar may be off...
How about Pudendus Aula, which is "Hall of Shame" in Latin? Everything sounds more severe when it's in Latin!
Or create Second Second Life.
Actually, I think the clipboard would probably make a more convincing Anakin...
The trouble with lying on a stage is that you run the risk of getting stepped on by the other actors.
On the other hand, if you deleted every line of dialogue that felt "forced and out of place," you'd wind up with three very short movies. ;)
This thread is now about...Scientology!
Top this!

I've heard a lot of good about this TPM review and I'm looking forward to watching it in the next few days. I did sample it a bit after burning it, and I'm not sure I can take the dude's voice for 70 minutes. But we'll see.
Don't forget that the youtube segments are about ten minutes each, so you can easily watch the review by segment rather than all in one sitting. :)
Personally, I'd planned to do that, but found it so entertaining that seventy minutes blew by before I knew it, and I'd done watched the entire thing.

Expanded universes are an idea that exists outside Star wars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_universe We can thus acknowledge the existence of a Star wars eu without having to follow Lucasfilm's definition of it.
And you go by wikipedia's definition of eu? How follow-the-herd.
