If you're going to make grammatical errors, at least be consistent about it.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)
I used to think Ben Stein was a pretty cool and intelligent guy, but holy shit did I ever lose any respect for him I ever had after seeing this poor excuse for a documentary. It is a masterclass in how never to make a compelling documentary that people will take seriously. I am all for rational and interesting debate and well-argued stances, but this “documentary” had absolutely none of that to the point that I had to look it up to make sure it wasn’t a parody. There is absolutely no evidence given for anything, nothing is explained at all, scientific explanations are taken out of context and ridiculed with no alternative explanation given. I was completely shocked at how awful this was, and not at all because I disagreed with it: I have seen plenty of religious people make decent arguments for their beliefs in various debates, and this was not one of those debates. The amount of hypocrisy, backtracking, mean-spiritedness, missing-the-point, victim mentality, and taking things out of context among the many other fallacies made by the crew were ludicrous, and the devolution (pun intended) into invoking Godwin’s Law by saying that science is basically the Holocaust completely blew my mind. I was stunned into complete silence. I was sure this whole thing was a joke or parody. I wanted to believe it was a parody for the sake of religious people everywhere because it was just embarrassing for them. It made the scientists interviewed (likely under false pretenses) look the opposite of how they intended to paint them. This is not how you present an argument that will convince non-believers. Never see this unless you want to feel very sorry for Ben Stein’s mental state or to begin believing the opposite of what he’s preaching, or if you’re thinking of making a documentary and you want to learn what not to do. If you are a religious person and/or believe the things Stein and the crew claim, then please don’t hitch your wagon to this documentary because it hurts your case. Read up on science and ID and make your own argument because you can surely do better than this piece of tripe.

I haven't said it before, but I'll say it again: the best way to teach a person that religion is false is to teach them that creationism is true.
Only watch this if you want mental images of Young Obi-Wan Kenobi sucking The Mask’s dick in your head forever.
I just know some individual with a perverted mindset* is going to read this description and draw a picture/write a story based on it.

**Shemales are considered hetero, right?
One of my cats just vomited on the floor. It's thick, chunky, and a gray-orange-pink, but looks completely worm-free (*pleased sigh*). It's on a wood floor, too, so it'll be easy to clean up.
Laziness rectified. ;-(
James Earle Jones wouldn't happen to be related to James Earl Jones by any chance, would he? ;-P

So which Donna do you hope they will use? The one from the series, or the movie?
I usually go with the original actor in cases like these, but Lara Flynn Boyle has been distractingly hideous ever since she disfigured her lips with plastic surgery.
So yeah -- I'm going with the replacement actress all the way.

He probably doesn't like you either, so you're good.
I don't like Geoff Johns.
Insert a scene of Palpatine disbanding the Senate.
Insert a shot of CG Yoda on CG Dagobah feeling the death of Alderaan through the Force.

I don't quite know what it is, but something about this line is just funny.
I wish this was a real comic:
Provided it wasn't played straight, of course.

Vader as a darksider would utilize his rage to sustain him and make him more powerful. That's kind of common for a darksider in the EU and has been for a long time, he did the same thing to sustain himself when he was trapped underneath a building for days and he did it int he RODV novel to make him more powerful in duels
I think there's a difference between embracing rage short-term in the heat of battle to gain an edge over an opponent and embracing rage long-term in some effort to achieve dark side Nirvana; IMO, while Vader is willing to do the former, he is rarely ever willing to do the latter.
In any case, my take on the SW Universe, it's characters, and its metaphysics doesn't mesh all that well with most of the EU's, so the point is moot.

Thejediknighthusezni will be disappointed when he hears this news; a man molesting three girls instead of three boys leaves him no opportunity to go off on yet another one of his anti-homosexual rants.
