Lair.

I’d burn all prints of the OOT if it brought down Disney, Hollywood entire, and the false god Mammon.

Anything which’ll help me help myself avoid ST discussions is cool with me.

I saw a post on imdb that really cracked me up. The poster (whose handle is ‘bobsutherby’) points out that by draining the sun, the SK Base consequently kills every planet in that system anyway. So all the base needs to do is drain stars!

Which begs the question (this is me now) - how does the FO choose which system it will destroy in order to power up to destroy another? Does it wait until at least 2 systems are in transgression, or does it have to choose stars with uninhabited or no planets?

I thought the IMDB forums were deleted after they closed them?

Archive?

• General Star Wars Discussion
• Original Trilogy
• Prequel Trilogy
• Sequel Trilogy
• Beyond the Main Saga (ie, Anthology films, animated & live action tv series, future RJ & W&B content, Holiday Special, & Ewok films)
• The EU (ie, books, comics, games & radio dramas)
• Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases
• Toys & Memorabilia

I like it, though I’d eliminate “General Star Wars Discussion”. With discussion of the Saga/spinoffs/EU split off into their own subforums, I don’t think there’d be much left to discuss there.

Superman (Earth 1938)

Bizarro (Earth 8391)

By that time, Hollywood will hopefully be dead.

I don’t think I’ll live to see the end of Star Wars, so I’ll take all I can get before I die.

Remakes are not happening.

For once, I’m disappointed. This saga needs an enema.

What about Kylo Ren? He’s a part of the family.

I guess…but it’s only on his Mother’s side. And worst of all, he murdered his own father, and attempted to kill his own mother. Why should we care what happens to this dude? What are the odds the family even wants him back? They seem to be down for just killing him now. Episode 9 has to answer these questions, and like I said, it’s gonna be tough.

Kylo will probably die. And he has no heir.

I’m interested to see what they do with him. If they make him repent, I hope it’s not done in a cheesy way. He needs to be punished for what he’s done, and lifetime in jail seems fair. I have this really bad feeling he’s gonna go good, he’s gonna find love somehow, and he’ll be forgiven for everything.

Like grandfather, like grandson.

Looks like the VCR half of my eleven-year-old DVD-VCR combo finally gave up the ghost today.

After several months of inactivity, I decided to fire it up. Roughly halfway through a badly degraded copy of Wild at Heart, the picture went snowy; subsequent attempts to clean the VCR’s innards availed me naught.

Now I have more incentive than ever to replace my remaining videotapes.

They did pretty much the same thing to Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Must be the latest burgeoning fad.

INT. HELEN’S HOME/BEDROOM — DAY

Another bout of lovemaking between Clark and Helen comes to a close.

A minute later.

Helen and Clark lay together, sheets bunched up between them. Instead of cuddling, making pillow talk, they watch the ceiling — Helen with disinterest, Clark with dissatisfaction — a silent, palpable distance between them.

Sitting up, Helen reaches over Clark for the nightstand on his side of the bed, taking up a cigarette case and lighter resting atop a movie magazine. As she fishes a cigarette from the case, Clark picks up the magazine; an image of Greta Garbo emblazons the front cover.

CLARK

Greta Garbo. (flips through magazine) Her new picture’s coming out next month. Do you plan on catching it?

Lighting up her cigarette, Helen shrugs.

CLARK

My first picture was City Lights. Which was yours?

Helen takes a moment to think it over.

HELEN

Frankenstein, in 1910. (takes drag) Yes, it was Frankenstein.

CLARK

What was it like?

HELEN

You’ve read the book.

CLARK

Certainly.

HELEN

There’s your answer.

Helen offers Clark her cigarette. Accepting it, Clark takes a dispassionate puff. Tobacco does nothing for him.

INT. HELEN’S HOME/ENTRANCE HALL — DAY

Helen opens the front door for Clark.

HELEN

You’ll be in tomorrow, of course.

CLARK

It’ll be a long day for me. I don’t believe I’ll make it in.

HELEN

Then the day after.

CLARK

The family’s entertaining a guest — my cousin Luma, visiting down from Canada. I’m sorry.

Clark enters the threshold.

HELEN

(raises hand) Just a moment!

Stopping in the door, Clark waits for Helen as she leaves for another room. In a minute she returns, a fresh-baked pie in hand.

HELEN

(offers pie to Clark) Pecan.

CLARK

Thank you.

Helen starts to smile.

CLARK

(cont’d) Ma has allergies, but I appreciate the gesture.

The nascent smile dies.

CLARK

(forlorn) Take good care of yourself, Hel.

Clark steps through the door, closing it after him. Helen is left standing in the entrance hall, alone with her pie.

INT. LANG HOME/LANA’S BEDROOM — DAY

In her undergarments, singing softly to herself, Lana goes through her closet. She finds two items: a red blouse and a beige sweater. Looking them over, she chooses the sweater. Setting the sweater down beside a brown skirt atop her bed, she crosses over to her dresser. Gazing into the dresser mirror, she checks her hair. As she tucks an errant lock behind her ear, she sees in the reflection a face outside her bedroom window.

LANA

(gasps) Jumpin’ Jesus!

Spinning 'round, she finds it is Clark gazing in on her. She strides to the window; flinging it open, she leans out; Clark clutches the window frame, feet braced tightly against the wall, suspended two storeys above the ground, nothing on or against the wall he could’ve used to scale it.

LANA

How’d you ever manage‽

Taking a step back, Lana allows Clark to climb inside. She places her fists on her hips, none too pleased with Clark.

LANA

You’re a voyeur, too, now?

CLARK

Sorry. (averts gaze)

LANA

Suppose I can’t fault you. Must be desensitized to the sight of bubs by now.

Moving to her bed, Lana takes up her sweater.

LANA

Let’s not futz around. (slips sweater on) What’s on your mind?

CLARK

It’s over.

Lana takes up her skirt, eyes intent on Clark.

CLARK

(beat) Between your aunt and me.

LANA

(slips skirt on) Face stretcher wore thin?

CLARK

(turns to window) I should go.

LANA

(buttons skirt) Clark — no.

Taking him by the wrist, she sits him down beside her on the bed, ready to hear what he has to say.

CLARK

It was sex. Just sex. Nothing else. (beat) I tried to love her. I tried. But she wouldn’t let me in. (beat) Lana, is it me? Is there something wrong with me?

LANA

Clark … you’re a sap. A real sap. But my God … your heart is big. You, you shine — a sun on Earth. (beat) I pity Hel, if she can’t see you … (touches his lips) … appreciate you….

There is a loud rap at the door, startling them both.

SARAH LANG

(O.S.) Lana, are you decent?

LANA

(faces door; irate) Mother!

SARAH LANG

(O.S.) Peter’s just arrived.

LANA

(to herself) Oh, Pete! (to Mrs. Lang) I’ll be right down!

Rising, Lana retrieves her shoes.

CLARK

Having a night on the town with Pete?

Slipping into her shoes, Lana nods.

CLARK

Since when have you and Pete …?

LANA

Clark, we’ve been going steady two weeks. (beat) You didn’t realize?

CLARK

No. (bewildered) I’ve missed out on a lot.

LANA

(sighs) That you have.

Now I want a series predating even KOTOR about how humanoid androids rebelled and started a massive war against the “living” species, to the point where they infiltrated their enemy by creating duplicates, causig a McCarthyism-style witch hunt and ending in the banning of lifelike droids throughout the galaxy.

In other words, kind of what I wanted the Clone Wars to be, but with androids instead of clones.

In other words, sort of a mishmash of Blade Runner, The Second Renaissance, and some version of the Butlerian Jihad (but not BH/KJA’s version), set in the ancient times of the Star Wars universe.

So, a series about the Great Droid Revolution?

Even if I wanted to collect modern comics from the Big Two, this relaunching gimmickry would deter me quite sufficiently.

Sorry to hear that, snooker. Here’s hoping your situation makes a change for the better soon.

"You want me to tell you?"

I want to believe #108 will be a faithful throwback to the Marvel Star Wars of yesteryear, but the cynic in me suspects they’ll make it as generic and throwaway as most of the rest of Marvel’s recent output.
