Quesadilla with cheddar cheese and fresh garlic. So much better than ice cream cones.

• Jodorowsky’s Dune (2013) – 10/10
• The Straight Story (1999) – 9/10
• Zardoz (1974) – 8/10
• The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) – 7/10
• Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007) – 6/10
• The Exorcist III: Legion (2016) – 8/10
• The Exorcist III (1990) – 8/10
• Tarzan (1999) – 8/10
• The Exorcist (1973) – 8/10
• Witch’s Cradle (1944) – 6/10

I think Rosie O’Donnell is a liability to every film she’s in.

Is the fact that there is an X-Men villain named Sebastian Shaw a complete coincidence?

What does your heart tell you?

Hell, you don’t need a special edition for that. Just get the EU to whip up an implausible retcon to explain the discrepancy and you’re set.

Ice cream cones. No ice cream in them; just the naked cones themselves.

It began with a trip to a kindergarten for a school project. I was there with some friends, and some not-so-friends. At some point, a male acquaintence of mine began to hold my hand. Then, he went behind me and held me close to himself. I just went with it, being incredibly lonely and all. He let go after a few minutes. All of us in the group saw the children playing on thier smartphones at lunch time and thought back to our childhoods in the early-mid-2000s when that wasn’t the case.
After eating lunch — a strange egg made too look like an eyeball — I noticed a friend of mine, an attractive, redheaded girl who I shall call E, in distress. She was turning into a small, purple creature almost resembling a Pokémon of some sort. I went to try to help, but suddenly I was unconscious.
I woke up confused in a hospital. My watch was broken and said the date was 0. A doctor noticed that I was awake and took me to the nearest bathroom to look in the mirror. I had two heads: my normal one, and the head of the purple creature next to it. I asked it if it was E, but it did not answer. It hung to the side, and I noticed it now lacked eyes. It was evidently dead, but attached to my body anyway for some reason. I was told that it was necessary to save the girl’s life. I also managed to figure out that I had been in a coma for over a month.
I became highly distraught, having missed over a month of school. I screamed at my parents that I would never catch up, fail everything, drop out, and that life was meaningless. They told me to calm down and pray about it, and I exclaimed that it would do no good. God didn’t want to help me. I then adopted my own religion (called Religious Centrism, which now I have no idea what that meant). My father called me a godless heathen and left.
I went back into the restroom to do my taxes for the first time in over a month before leaving the hospital. Upon leaving, I saw E. She was completely normal and healthy now.
There was more to the dream, but I don’t remember much, other than at some point getting into an argument with someone over who was the best Robin.

This sounds like the unofficial sequel to Eraserhead.

I think I have tendonitis in my right wrist.

Also, was Korriban supposed to be a well-known planet? I always got the impression that it’s location was kind of a secret.

I believe that was the original intention. But once later writers retconned the planet into the original Sith homeworld and capital, that went straight out the window. Skimming through the Wookieepedia article, it even mentions that the Republic invaded and held the planet for brief periods of time.

And I’m sure they could have made up some decent lore excuse for why you wouldn’t want to “nuke” a dark side planet like Korriban or Dromund Kass.

And they should have, 'cause otherwise, it makes the Republic/Jedi look foolhardy.

Besides, didn’t the Jedi think they killed all the Sith? So why even bother?

To remove the possibility of some ambitious Force-wielder stumbling on the site and making use of the knowledge waiting there? Dark Jedi and other non-Sith darksiders still existed in the period the Sith were believed to be extinct.

The Matrix Revolutions

Perfect ending, impressive action scenes, wagnerian music, intelligent symbolism. Even better than the first one. Only Reloaded is kinda mediocre (the narrative is great but it takes too long to get to the Architect, the most important scene of the trilogy).

This post is even hilariouser in light of his 0/10 rating for R1.

And just to stay on topic, I’d like to add that I loved The Blue Lagoon with Brooke Shields. I have absolutely no idea why critics panned it; it’s a beautiful film.

What makes it work is Mark Hamill’s performance and him taking the material seriously and not sending it up at all.

It doesn’t work and nothing can make it work. Hamill’s performance just makes it less painful than it otherwise could’ve been.

If my translator is operating at peak efficiency, I’d warrant “Cool Cats” refer to he-men women haters who swear like sailors, smoke like chimneys, and drink like fish while “Cookie Crunchers” refer to limp-wristed momma’s boys who eat dainty pastries.

I’m guessing he took the subject matter a mite more seriously than it deserves?

It’s a real shame about PT:R. These were the revisited projects I was most looking forward to.

Same here, to an extent. I was looking forward to a radically different version. No one has gone far enough with them yet.

I’m aware of Ady’s plans for Boba Fett, but I will state my preference for him not being in the movie at all, then move on.

I feel the same way. He would’ve been far cooler as the mystery man in ESB that we never see again.

It’s true. All of it.

I have a sudden hankerin’ to watch YouTube videos of cats eating cookies.

Do they still make ‘sea foam green’ crayons?

It’s listed on Crayola’s site, so yes(?)

A TIE interceptor which got too close to a black hole.

How about a “Favourite Muppets” thread?

^Cookie Monster takes umbrage at that blanket statement.

Alright. I know then I’m not wanted. Time to drown my sorrows in a mound of blueberry pies.

[JEDIT]

I shouldn’t have ate all those pies. . . .

Yeah, but you don’t like desserts, either.

Starting to look like there is no one correct way to pronounce “nuclear”.

A radical concept, right?

What is the correct way to pronounce “nuclear,” by the way? I don’t want to sound uneducated… or maybe I do.
