I'd make a link to the nth post, but the demons currently controlling my body won't let me.

And I just watched both Trilogy of Terror and Burnt Offerings a few days ago. Weird, very weird.

I miss the days when "Sith" wasn't synonymous with "evil Jedi".

 

What was 'Sith' synonymous with before Star Wars?

Also with the whole Sith thing, Timothy Zahn mentions something kind of cool in the annotated version of Heir to the Empire, which is that when he was writing the book, nobody aside from Lucas himself actually knew what a Sith was -- for all anyone knew, it could be a species or a group that Vader ruled over in his spare time. He actually wanted the Noghri to be called the Sith, and he described them to look kind of like Vader's armor, and imply that it was based on them, but Lucas nixed the name. It's also why older EU novels were so big on the phrase "dark Jedi." The writers weren't entirely sure what a Sith was, so they went with something a bit more simple and descriptive, starting with Zahn.

Hey!  I love The Big Bang Theory!

I can't stand it. I find it generally shallow and obnoxious. It is "nerd" culture as perceived by and mocked by non nerds. It's laughing at these types, not with them.

Mi, persone, ne povas.

Kion pri la resto de vi?

I'll take Topless Nun anyday (her vow of chastity would probably get in the way of that, however.)

For a flying milk carton? Sure!

Why didn't anyone tell me I could post images with drawn boobies? Now I've got to make up for so much lost time ...

This pretty much sums it up for me, especially the Leia one.

But what about "The Man"?



Looks pretty jovial to me. I can't say the same for his lady friend, however ...

Now we're set ...

In canonical limbo(?)

Burnt Offerings (1976)

What is it with haunted house movies from the late 70's-early 80's, anyway? It seems that, without a single exception, they're always awesome - awesome cinematography, awesome casting, awesome atmosphere, etc. In addition, they always seem to feature some hidden or isolated room which the supernatural presence seems to use as its base of operations; that's always, always a cool motif that never loses its effectiveness.

And may I just add that this guy



is the perfect stuff of nightmares.

Where's the love for Creepy Puppet Yoda? ;)

I wanna see a sitcom revolving around Threepio and Artoo bickering all the time.

Can infinity be reduced, though? Where would all the mass go? Shunt it off into some alternate universe? But that would violate the law of the conservation of matter and energy. And what if there is no multiverse and this is the only reality in existence?

Damn, this is giving me a philosophical headache.

Please, give detail, because for all the flaws of the prequels, I don't think going a far as possible from the prequels actually results in any good in the context of ship design.

There wasn't much (any?) overlap of vehicle designs between the OT and PT. Sure, they foreshadowed the OT vehicles in the designs of the PT, but we never blatantly saw an X-Wing or TIE fighter flying around.

That's easy - get God to do it for me.

I was thinking of something more along the lines of "Star Defenders".
