Sheev is Palps' first name, don'tcha know?

I'm guessing it was really supposed to be "Steve", but one or both of his parents had an incredibly strong lisp and said it wrong.
^WRONG KINGPIN!

*elk=ilk much like carp=crap
Ah, so that's where the elk thing comes from. I thought it was a typo last time I saw you use it...
I don't make tpyos.
Liar.
But I'm only twenty-seven! I'm too old and too young for diapers!

Complete coincidence without a doubt.
You can't toss a dozen scrabble tiles into a toilet without some goofy EU character name floating to the top.
You underestimate the power of the dork side.
Ah, wonderful -- another Jesus film with the Son of David played by a WASP with absolutely no Semetic blood flowing through his veins whatsoever.
When's this tired trope going to die? It's almost* as outdated as whites playing Indians.
*And I'm being generous here.
"I've got you!"
"But who's got you?"
I don't know how often it appears on-screen, but it's shown up in comic books often enough to make my eyes roll.
Oh, how I long for a colourblind society.
And on that note:
I was 18 'til I died.
...
Wait -- did I just reference a Bryan Adams song made after 1991?! Good God, but I feel soiled!
More-and-more I wish I could actually see, touch, and watch a Laserdisc in person. I guess they and their players are exceedingly rare in Canada, though, as I haven't seen a single one in my entire life, not even in the dusty corners of pawnshops or thrift stores.
I wish there was a law making it mandatory to use original poster art for the DVD/Blu-ray covers of films made prior to 2000.
Now I want to see a Star Wars beer commercial.
Kylo Ren, eh?
Sounds like somebody's a fan of a certain character from the Droids cartoon.
Though I loathe repeating myself more than 1000 times, I have to say, yet again, that I'm glad to have chosen against seeing the Hobbit films.
Lightsaber skewers come only in red, green, and blue?! BOO! I demand yellow, orange, and various other coloured lightsaber skewers!

...everything you could every want to know about what this flick did in 1977 ...this poster has it.
Yeah! Scoop necklines, lotsa gams, and pecs pecs pecs 'til next Tuesday!
...oh wait, Star Wars had none of those things.
Sorry but that poster is utter crap. The real classic was the one with Luke pointing the blaster at the viewer, surrounded by the other characters. The one above is the square-peg-round-hole weird incongruous exploitation misstep.
"Now you're gonna get it, bitch!"
Eh, for what it's worth, I abandoned the idea to end my sentences with the component elements of the interrobang soon after I thought it up. It just takes too much effort with no discernible payoff.

And that kind of rant is exactly why you're on ignore, DE. I often share your opinions but your expression irks me. Hyperbole aside, you seem genuinely offended - like this is personal or something.
Take years of general dislike for the way mainstream superhero comics have been written over the past two decades, combine it with months spent reading, enjoying, and getting invested in the adventures of a particular character who's life -- fictional though it may be -- has suddenly been derailed, and the result is not going to be calm, pretty, or anything close to rational.
My contempt for the Big Two has been simmering for years now, and it was only a matter of time before it overboiled. Now that they've gone out of their way to violate a beloved character that until now was unblemished by their crap, it's happened.

I don't think the people who make the movies deserve your wrath. Are they the ones making the comics suck? All this dark and dreary stuff will never make it into the films.
I'm angry at the writers of the comics far more than anyone working on the films. But as long as the company continues to allow stuff like this to be made, I'm not going to support anything it makes, movies included.
Would you hold all of Lucasfilm accountable for the bad decisions George has made?
No, but then Lucas, even with his worst decisions, has never stooped as low as the writers for the comics have.
I just learned that the parents of the May "Mayday" Parker version of Spider-Girl were murdered in Marvel's latest Spider-centric crossover event, leaving her and her little brother orphans. That's right -- in the one universe were Peter and Mary Jane were still happily married, with children leading relatively stable lives, they had to die to facilitate the hack writing of a sadomasochistic fantard-turned-writer.
Here I thought that maybe -- maybe -- I could escape the garbage cluttering up the main Marvel Universe by sticking with out-of-continuity storylines, but no -- the garbage just had to spill over into the other Marvel universes, had to contaminate everything and everyone around it until the entire Marvel Multiverse becomes a quagmire of murder and rape.
So y'know what? Fuck Marvel. FUCK. MARVEL. Fuck their comics, fuck their movies, fuck their TV shows, fuck their Star Wars, fuck the artists and writers who continue to work for them, FUCK THEM ALL.
From here on out, I'm boycotting that whorehouse charnel of a company and every single product that comes rolling off their bloodstained assembly line.

You make it sound as if the two are mutually exclusive. =P

Bully!
I never liked the idea that only Force-sensitives could build lightsabers. The reason Jedi/Dark Jedi/Sith/etc. construct and use lightsabers when others do not is rooted in their specific traditions and cultures -- traditions and cultures common folk don't hold/belong to -- not because they have a magical ace up their sleeves the genetic untermensch don't.
