Also, it would be a ship-BARGE, not shippity-ship-shipping-shippdiddlyippidyship or whatever…

i think you are falling for the ‘try to reason with a joke’ trap. the joke was good.

EDIT: I do, however, get tricked by the old OT-Compulsory-Double-Post bit on occasion…

Precision of language is better. I never compromise that, no matter how exquisite the joke.

How did you first see the Star Wars films?
Time

Star Wars: About a thousand times on VHS taped off of HBO, from about 1981 to 1983. (To me, the HBO theme circa 1981 is just as integral to the film as the 20th Century Fox fanfare.) I still don’t know how my parents wound up with that tape—we never had HBO!

Empire Strikes Back: At a friend’s house in some bootleg form around 1981. It didn’t capture my imagination like Star Wars, and I didn’t see it again until I got the trilogy VHS set in maybe 1992.

Return of the Jedi: Theater. My first memory of seeing a movie in the theater, and it was everything I could possibly have dreamed of as a follow-up to my worn-out Star Wars tape. Somehow I got an off-HBO tape of this too, and wore that out too from 1984-1990.

The Random Premise: In the theater, weeks and weeks after release. After the atrocity of the SEs, I was in no way “fooled” by the previews. It was clearly dreck in every respect, from the cartoonish CGI (just like the SEs) to the “rabbit guy’s” shenanigans. When I finally got around to seeing it, though, it was even worse than I had imagined. It wasn’t just bad, it was a confounding embarrassment on every level to the people involved in making it.

Attack of the Clowns: Theater, opening day. My roommates were all going, it was the last day of some final exam or another, and I was inebriated. I “talked myself into” thinking “it’s not that bad.” When I finally rewatched it on video, I was astounded at my desperate reaction formation the first time. It, to a slightly lesser degree that TRP, was a travesty and a humiliating failure for Lucas and his army of cowed yesmen.

Return of the Shit: Theater, while hype was in full swing. I liked it, despite acknowledging its profound flaws of execution, and I still maintain it’s got some deep thematic worth.

The Fourth Awakening: Netflix Blu-ray.

Episogue One: It’s “on the queue,” but I am going to watch it only for cultural edification, since I am fundamentally opposed to the CGI necromancy of Peter Cushing, and will never support this manifest evil in any way.

Jedi II: Will probably get it on Netflix, depending on how tasteless Episogue One is, and whether I hear of any necromancy in this one.

My name robertelee is not a reference to the civil war general, rather it’s just the email I have used since I was 5, created unaware of the civil war connection.

Unless your name is Robert E. Lee, this is not credible and makes no sense whatsoever.


In fact, even if your name is Robert E. Lee, it would still undoubtedly have a connection to the historical personage, because your parents could not have been unaware of him, an would have to have decided, fuck yeah that shit’ll be funny.

They don’t. I believe they were site-assigned in the early days. By the time I joined you could pick your own, and I used to have lots of fun making up silly ones. I miss that function.

Don’t worry buddy.

Good one. 😃

It brings back memories of just how much more annoying and childish he used to be.

"Used to be?"
I must be psychorepressing that shit or something; musta been really bad…

The Force Awakens: Official Review Thread - ** SPOILERS **

It’s just so unbelievable in The Empire a Strikes back when Luke makes the lighsaber come to him in the wampa’s cave. I mean, he didn’t see anyone do that and wasn’t trained on it by Obi Wan. I wonder why they decided to make him so overpowered?

Hey, this thread is for scoffing at The Fourth Awakening, not The Empire Strikes Back.
Take it to the Batman thread.
