What a cute billowing cloud of destruction. 

I wonder if Everett McGill would come out of retirement if Twin Peaks was to return to television.

But of course! If they find it pleasurable, then what would be the point?

We'll see until they release details. Mostly likely the SE versions.

If that's the case, then somebody out there deserves to be sodomized uncomfortably. 

What I like the most about the comic is how inconsistent the art is. In some panels Leia looks like a reasonable facsimile of Carrie Fisher, but in others she looks like a black-haired Asian. The same is true for Chewie; in one panel he looks like the regular film version, but in the rest he looks like some generic ape wearing a bandolier.

^I plumb forgot about that thread.

Bah! Who can wait for them to cool down when they're so scrum-diddly-umptious?

So, the Chinese made their own comic book adaptation of Star Wars, and it's got to be the most bizarre comic adaptation I've ever seen.

Here's a selection of my favourite panels:

Here's a link to this masterpiece in all it's Jodorowskyesque brilliance:

Here's everything you never wanted to know about R5-D4

The forecast for tomorrow shows that there's a 30% chance of rainfall, but the temperature's still going to climb to 34ºC. The forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday going to be 38 (Goddammit!).

It's funny -- I can recall the earliest memory I have of hating hot weather (It was back in Grade 1, about June of 1994, while I was sitting under a hot sun during gym class.), but I can't recall when I first came to love the rain; it must have been around the same time, because I remember virtually frolicking around in an orchard during a heavy rainstorm that very same year.

Okay I just watched SF Debris' Before and after review and can i just take minute to talk about something that bugs me in this episode and it has nothing to do with Kes's whole family being purged from existence jut to please the shippers(But that does really bug me. I mean basically her whole family gets killed and it has no negative impact on her),it's something that bugs me in science fiction in general and not just Voyager. Alien life spans. In this episode Kes is dying because she just turned nine and her people only live nine years. Anyone ever notice that it doesn't matter if it is nine years or nine hundred years when alien lifespans are mentions on Sci-Fi it is always very exact and every alien we meet always seems to live that exact number of years unless they get shot or something. if they are under the life span they are never in any danger of dying and once they reach that lifespan it like a switch flips and they just drop dead. it doesn't matter what kind of health they are in,they can't do a thing to prolong their lives like eating right or stuff like that,once they hit that magic number they are dead and everyone knows it. That is not how it works in real life. I mean right now the average human lifespan goes into the late 70s but my maternal grandfather died in his early 60s and paternal grandmother made it to 89,but if they were aliens in science fiction we would be told their race lives to 78 and my grandfather would have made it to that age without any problems and my grandmother would have dropped dead 11 years before she did.

It may not be the biggest issue in the world but it always makes Sci-Fi feel fake and like it comes from the pen of a writer rather then taking place in a real world to me.

Am I the only one who is bugged by this?

I never really thought about it before, but now I can see that is rather stupid.

I really need to read/re-read the Silver and Bronze Age Spider-Man comics. I really have little idea of who Gwen Stacy is, and as a self-identifed Spidey fan that's just pathetic.

You should really get on that. Wonderful stories and characters. You'll be happy you did!

I've already begun. =D

Sexual innuendo about your mom entertains you?! Ay caramba!

I never did understand how a desert planet like Tatooine could have clouds like that*.

*Of course, they could be made up of something other than water vapour.

I can't find a link to the picture online, but my desktop background it basically dark rain clouds over a river. I chose it for two reasons: to remind me of warmer weather in the winter, and to remind me of cooler weather in the summer. Unfortunately, it's not helping much in regards to the latter.

-"Without the EU, Star Wars would be just another sci-fi series that happens to be better than any other sci-fi series." That's like saying, "My children are just people who happen to be my children."

That certainly is a nonsensical statement. I'm guessing s/he put only half of what s/he was thinking down in his/her post.

At one point before the Legends announcement, a member of Stoey Group tweeted, "Some people just don't want to listen. Only the movies and TCW are canon" and TFN is calling that a "vague" statement. It was an absolute statement! What more could someone want to know?

When someone gets married to something so completely, it's hard for them to part with it.

Thanks for the links, twister. I'll give them a look over once I feel a little more chipper.

Star Wars has become synonymous with stupid retcons the past couple decades.

Which doesn't make more stupid retcons ok.

Of course not. The point I was driving at was that stupid retcons are just par the course for the franchise these days and no one should be surprised it they continue to be.

If they do use Plagueis, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave him regenerative abilities (bequeathed to him by his experiments with midi-chlorians, no doubt) which allowed him to revive from whatever murder attempt Palps gave him.

It would be a very stupid retcon, but Star Wars has become synonymous with stupid retcons the past couple decades.

Truth be told, I always thought that lizard was a puppet. The way it moved seemed very rigid -- very artificial -- to me.

Lil Wayne, an utterly, completely talentless (c)rap "artist" who undermines the civil rights movement with his very existence.

 You seem like a violent fellow.

Nothing wrong with a little violence as long as you direct it towards the right people.

This particular piece of worthless shit fellow, for instance.

Tommy Wiseau isn't as funny when he's trying to be deliberately humourous.

May I just say, Skippy, that I love the name you've chosen for yourself. =D
