Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" is obviously about Star Wars.

They did build a prototype Death Star. Does that count?

I can't really remember what the last comic I read was. I think it was a Spider-Man comic from '96 when Ben Reilly was in the role.

I've had crushes on nine girls, and I can remember the names of each of them and the order in which I crushed on them (this includes the one I actually fell in love with).

Name: Brandy (last name forgotten); Crush Date: 1997-1998

All I really remember of her is that she had long, blonde hair and an older sister who could have been her twin if it weren't for the fact that she was taller and brunette. My latent heterosexuality hadn't yet kicked in at that point in my life, so it was a purely heteroromantic asexual attraction.

Name: Sarah Gibson; Crush Date: 1998/1999

In retrospect, I don't know what I ever saw in her; she had a lousy personality, a dog's face, and an anorexic's body. This was yet another heteroromantic asexual attraction.

Name: Candace Roland/Rowland; Crush Date: 1999/2000-2001

She was blonde, had a nice figure, but an unappealing complexion. This was my first completely heterosexual crush.

Name: Dania Wilson-Holland; Crush Date: 2001-2008(?)

I've commented on her before elsewhere on this forum, so all I'll say is that this is the only crush I've ever had that developed into something that wasn't fleeting.

Name: Lauren Lee Smith; Crush Date: 2002-2005

This is my first crush on a celebrity (or should I say pseudo-celebrity) and not on a person I actually knew. She's a minor Canadian actress who, while being rather pretty, is a bit too much on the skinny side for my current tastes.

Name: Jennifer Peterson-Hind; Crush Date: 2007-2009

Another pseudo-celebrity - a singer, this time around. I got the hots for her after seeing her on the kids' TV show Hi-5.

Name: Brianna (last name unknown); Crush Date: 2008

I met her while working as a dishwasher at a local restaurant. She was a tall, trim, brunette server. I never really got the chance to know her, conflicting work schedules eventually prevented us from ever getting the chance to do so, and once I got laid off all bets were off. I'm still mad about this one, as this was the only time I had the chance to make a good first impression on a girl I liked.

Name: Alanis Morissette; Crush Date: 2008-2010

This was more of a crush on the 1991-1992 Alanis than the 1995-present day Alanis; it's not pleasant being attracted to a woman who doesn't really exist anymore.

Name: Heather Langenkamp; Crush Date: present

This is yet another example of me having a crush on a woman who doesn't really exist anymore; I'm attracted to the Heather Langenkamp of 1984-1997, not the middle-aged Heather Langenkamp of today (God, why-oh-why was I born in the wrong decade?)

I'll never watch the Evil Dead remake even if someone tries to force me at gunpoint to do so.

It is unlikely that, especially with such a character change in his parents they would have sex on the same nights and the same sperms would hit the same eggs and have the same success.

They would almost certainly have different sex and different children.

Also does this mean that 'their' spoiled rich kid Marty is having a divergent universe set of adventures where he accidentally turns his successful parents into a drunk and a coward???

Er... Back to the Future Pt 2?

BTTF2 doesn't utilize parallel timelines, Doc's "1985A" explanation notwithstanding, as all the other stuff involving paradoxes, changing timelines, etc. makes that impossible.

Isn't that a bit like saying "BTTF2 doesn't involve time travel, all of the time travel notwithstanding"

Methinks you should reformat your post to be more readable.

Hearing the word "sith" reminds me of everything that has been done to ruin Star Wars over the years.

I'm truly sick of this Jedi vs. X crap. It's terrible storytelling designed to appeal to babies.

Jedi, Sith/Dark Jedi, lightsabers, and "The Force" were all things used to move the plot along in the OT. That's right: they were <span style="text-decoration: underline;">used</span> to move the plot along and they weren't the focus of the plot.

I guess I'm trying to say that seeing Jabba the fucking Hutt in ROTJ was a hell of a lot more interesting than seeing Yoda flipping around with a lightsaber and tossing junk with "The Force" in AOTC.

My hairline's starting to receed, and sooner or later I'll go bald. Despite this, I will not shave my head, comb it over, wear a toupee, or in any other way try to disguise it. No, I'll just grow out what hair remains to compensate for the loss.

This



is my destiny.

There's a lack of avatars in this thread. Now that I've posted, that is no longer the case.

You want to know what the Sith are? Read the Tales of the Jedi comics. Those guys are the true Sith, not those face-painted emos from the PT & modern EU.

20th Century Fox should have been renamed 21st Century Fox.

Joy Ride (2001)

One of the few horror movies of the 21st Century that isn't bad ;-) I only wish Ted Levine had played the actual killer instead of just doing the killer's voice.

The Mummy (1999)

The story and cast are both solid, but the CGI cripples it. Seriously, what is up with all the elongated CG jaws? Does the director have a fetish for dislocated jaws, or is he trying to emulate the Scream films in some way?

Sleeping Bag (1985)

Okay, so this is a music video for the ZZ Top song and not an actual film. It's listed on IMDb, though, so I felt like giving in to some urges. Suffice it to say, there's something about having Heather Langenkamp, Tracey Walter, a monster truck, and a space shuttle launching from within the Great Pyramid all together in one package that I find extremely gratifying.

Nickel Mountain (1984)

A pretty well made and touching film, it still has a rather weak ending. Overall, though, I still liked it, and at least what I expected to happen at the end didn't (that would have killed the entire movie for me).

Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990)

Some nagging little continuity issues with the original film aside, this is a pretty decent prequel to Psycho. Olivia Hussey was convincing as Norman's crazy mother, and Henry Thomas did a great job playing the young Norman Bates. On the downside, this entry in the series is definately the weakest of the four from a visual standpoint.

Those are basically mini-series, though (and not very good ones, at that). I'm thinking of something more along the lines of Star Wars Tales, only completely devoted to out-of-continuity storylines and reimaginings.

LOL

For anyone who claims that The Last Crusade is not the best Indiana Jones movie, I merely direct them to the fact that Hitler signed Jones's diary. That wins at moviemaking forever.

I'd like to see an actual horror film with the title Blue Harvest made someday (preferably by myself).

Wow, you guys are absolutely right.  There is so much interesting material in those earlier drafts that would be amazing to see in "how it could have been" comic form.  Seriously, that would be fun to read, and now I can't help but wonder if success in this current endeavor might lead to comics of other film drafts!

I'm glad blowfish was blown away (metaphorically speaking, of course).
