So has anyone read the first issue of the new series Dawn of the Jedi?

It's the origin story of the Jedi. I had my doubts about the premise but judging from issue #1 it looks like the series is gonna be an interesting read.

Sylar or Claire on Heroes. I don't know which of these two asinine characters outdoes the other when it came to destroying this show. Suffice it to say, they had no story past the first season and were the weak links that brought the show to its knees.

A black German Shepherd. Not because I'm black, mind you; I just like how they look.

Quick question: do records really have better sound quality than CDs, or is that just hot air coming from nostalgic old fogies?

Alternatively, how about if Vader was Luke's father, but he and Anakin had remained separate characters?

All I can say is the prequel storyline would have had a lot more gravitas with adultery/rape as one of its components.

Hayden Christensen - Young Darth Vader

Er... did I take a wrong turn?  Where am I?  How did I get here?*

^The novel with the Jedi Hutt is Planet of Twilight.

I have to agree with those who find the film strong on a technical level but weak on the story.

I'm going on a date with a very beautiful lady tonight - I'm meeting her at the local cemetary, in fact. I just have to go buy a new shovel, and then I'll be all set!

If I could have access to any actor from any era at any time in his/her life, these are the actors I'd pick for a rebooted saga:


Ewan McGregor - Obi-Wan Kenobi

Leonardo DiCaprio - Anakin Skywalker

Hayden Christensen - Young Darth Vader

Matt Lanter - Young Darth Vader's voice

Jane Fonda - Mother Skywalker

Clive Revill - Palpatine's voice

Djimon Hounsou - Mace Windu


And that's all I've got.

I'm currently watching the entire run of The X-Files. I've only three seasons and nineteen episodes left to go, and the tedious Mythology episodes are slowly driving me into a coma ...

Typos can be real bitches sometimes.

Magic (1978)

It's interesting to see Anthony Hopkins as a young man, and creepy ventriloquist dummies are always awesome, but the film was otherwise pretty average. From what I've heard, though, the version I saw was heavily edited for TV, so that may have something to do with it. Nevertheless, I give it 5.7/10.

^This.

"Those fans want the prequels to be three movies of Darth Vader just killing people."

No one said this.

Princess Leia: Lindsay Lohan

Maybe if the PT had villains who didn't have stupid juvenile "bad" names, were actually more than one dimensional, and didn't all look like stereotypical "black hat" villains, I might actually take such a claim semi-seriously.

if audiences found Ferris an "unlikable, smarmy little fuck," it wouldn't have become the timeless classic that it is.

A film adaptation of Black Fire by James Kidman.

A semi-reboot of the Friday the 13th that takes the original 1980 film as canon but ignores all the sequels along with the recent 2009 film. This revamped series would consist of at least four films, all taking place in the town of Crystal Lake yet made to stand alone, with their own seperate stories and characters. Jason Voorhees might make an appearance, but only once as a ghostly child who haunts the waters of Crystal Lake, not as a hockey masked serial killer. Furthermore, these "new" sequels would be made to look like they were filmed in the 80s; there'd be absolutely no CGI or digital cameras involved.

And finally, a biopic of Alanis Morissette.

My avatar slowly backs up and leaves the room ...

Is it bad that I didn't care for The Goonies or Ferris Bueller?

The Goonies? No; it sucks.

Ferris Bueller? Yes; go get yer head checked. ;)

Oy, how this thread brings the desire to make a halfway professional film rushing back ...

This reminds me of all the stories/poems/drawings/paintings/etc. that I've ever lost/foolishly thrown out. God, how I wish I had all those pieces of my artistic history back =(

Exactly the sort of nonsense I would expect to read from someone with such a silly avatar.
