Children of Dune can suck my balls.

That's a crime, you know. 

2005 ... ah, yes ... A History of Violence came out that year ... It was the last major film to receive a VHS release, or so I've been told, anyway ... I'm rather fond of that movie ... even William Hurt doesn't bring it down.

I have a VHS-DVD player combo sitting in my closet. I rarely watch cassettes anymore, though, so it isn't going to be used often, and once I finish replacing the movies I still have on VHS with DVDs/Blu-rays, that'll be all she wrote.

I'd better be #0.

^Given a few more days, I would have done it myself. =P

There's nothing wrong with necroposting if you do it right.

Crow is doing it wrong.

FTFY 

Well, they could have set it during the events of the series. It didn't have to be a direct sequel.

EXT. ZORQO'S ZOO OF ZANINESS -- MONTAGE

Eventually Anakin and Nashira, Siri and Corin, and Obi-Wan and Nemec regroup. From there they go to various different attractions together, enjoying the fun parts and suffering through the painful bits together as one collective family.

As the suns lower on the horizon, the collective family leaves to return home.

INT. DUQUESNE HOMSTEAD -- MONTAGE 

Back at the homestead, the three couples steal away into their own seperate bedrooms. There, under the sheets, beneath the deep shadows of night, the men make love to their women, slowly and tenderly.

INT. NAR SHADDAA -- CHANCE CASTLE/CORRIDOR -- EVENING

Slipping discretely inside, Llomon and Mahttoh are led by Jukassa's man to a door guarded by his comrade-in-arms. After exchanging salutes with his peer, the guard steps aside and opens the door leading through to the dark room inside. 

INT. CHANCE CASTLE/JUKASSA'S QUARTERS/LIVING AREA -- EVENING

Stepping inside, the three find Jukassa seated in a spacious armchair in wait for them, an activate datapad in his hand. The former despot is reading the contents of the pad casually and without haste, seemingly oblivious to the presence of his guests.

GUARD #2: Lord-Commandant.

Taking his eyes away from the pad, Jukassa focuses them on his servant. In all other regards, he remains statue still.

GUARD #2: (gestures toward the Trandoshan and Wookiee) These are Llomon and Mahttoh, lord, the bounty hunters I have sought out for you.

GOG JUKASSA: Yes, I know. (to the bounty hunters) You can come forward. (to the guard) You -- leave.

As the guard steps away to leave the room, it is clear from his body language that in spite of his own bearing as a born-and-bred warrior, he lives in abject fear of this ex-tyrant. As the pair of merciless killers step toward Jukassa, on the other hand, it is clear that whatever emotion the man elicits from them, it certainly isn't fear.

GOG JUKASSA: You're precisely on time. I admire that in a being. Were either of your races bred for punctuality?

LLOMON: (sneers) What?

GOG JUKASSA: (cocks an eyebrow) No, I gather not. Still, your races have potential. They would do well to adopt eugenic programs in the near future.

LLOMON: (matter-of-factly) You have a job for us.

GOG JUKASSA: Yes -- yes, indeed I do. (beat) My name is Gog Jukassa, out of Lod by Maag. Have you heard of me?

MAHTTOH: No.

GOG JUKASSA: (sighs) Unfortunate. (beat) I was the Lord-Commandant of Ophuchi, the 45th of one-hundred sons. Ours was a proud dynasty, one which endured for over twelve generations, shepherding our people faithfully to keep them free of genetic contamination and regression.

LLOMON: How sad. What point are you driving at?

GOG JUKASSA: (frowns) My point is that I was dethroned and exiled. In disgrace I was forced to leave my Ophuchi -- my beautiful, gem-oceaned Ophuchi -- for this rancid Hutt cesspool. Forced by infidels and traitors to wallow amongst genetically impure filth. (angry) I crave retribution! It will be mine!

Taking the datapad in his hand, Jukassa hurls it across the room, dashing it to a thousand pieces against the far, marble-inlaid wall.

LLOMON: We aren't mercenaries.

MAHTTOH: If you want help retaking your world, hire the Federation Neimoidia.

GOG JUKASSA: I'm not looking to recapture the throne. I'm too keenly aware that I don't have the finances to support such a crusade. All I seek is a pure and final revenge.

LLOMON: Who's our target?

GOG JUKASSA: Your targets (reaches inside his tunic) are these.

Withdrawing a pair of photographs, Jukassa hands them to Llomon. Taking the squares of flexible plastic, the lizard man looks them over.

GOG JUKASSA: Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Jedi.

MAHTTOH: Jedi?

GOG JUKASSA: They humiliated me in dishonourable combat. They have earned my wrath above all others.

LLOMON: Jedi will cost you extra.

GOG JUKASSA: All that I still have will be yours if need be. Honour is of greater worth to me than coin. 

MAHTTOH: What info do you have on this Kenobi and Skywalker?

GOG JUKASSA: What I have compiled I have saved to datacard for your perusal. 

Reaching back into his tunic, Jukassa pulls out a datacard.

GOG JUKASSA: The basics, though, are these: Kenobi shares a home with his wife on Coruscant. Skywalker, meanwhile, calls the Corporate Sector home. He lives on one of the planets in the Orron system.

^No, because you didn't like the pink lightsaber. Pink is a great colour. Don't knock it.

;-P

In my own defense, I stopped necroposting a couple hours ago and have no desire to do anymore for the forseeable future. It's just too taxing.

It says on his profile that he was last online back in July 29, 2007. Of course, that doesn't mean he necessarily posted at all during that time.

I'd like to see a movie with the just the classic X-Men, too. I'm sick to death of Wolverine and his stupid "I can regenerate from ash because I'm just so goddamn great" schtick.

Butterscotch.

Would anyone be interested in a competant director trying to adapt this book again?

This implies Lynch isn't/wasn't a competent director who had complete control over how his adaptation was made. The problem with this, however, is

A. Lynch isn't incompetent, just unconventional (Well, Inland Empire was a piece of ugly shit, but I'm remaining hopeful that that was just an unlucky fluke and he'll do a better job on his next big project.).

B. He didn't have full creative control over the movie he made. The movie that was released was far shorter than he wanted it to be, resulting in lots of unwelcome and unnecessary truncation.

^I take it you don't like the stupid "English as a universal language" thing from the other series' either.

I must be the only person tired of the just after star wars, or between star wars and empire strikes back stories.  I want stuff after Return of the Jedi.

It's not gonna happen 'til after Episode VII comes out. 

^Resolution queen.

Then you should have, you layabout!

Letting Frink have all the fun all the time gets boring real quick.

TOS may be my favourite Trek, but Sisko's certainly my favourite commander/captain. Why Paramount never gave him and the rest of the DS9 crew their own movie I'll never understand.

Stargate SG-1 was my #1 favourite live-action TV show growing up as a kid. I no longer care for it anymore, though.

So it's a win-win scenario!

Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn. I want to own it on DVD so bad ...

The show gets back on track with the last five episodes and goes out on a pretty high note, so for that I'd suggest bearing through the noxious tedium.
