these kids will be in their teens between 2015 and 2020ish.....i think in even 5 years no one is gonna be making Paris Hilton sex jokes to the extent they do today. They probably aren't going to have very many problems. I do however think it's still fucked up that a sex tape and her whoreness fueled the naming of kids Paris.

A "Star Wars" reference I'd love to see on "24"

Like bad things like the murder of some poor douche or history altering things (not that some guy dying isn't i guess). Like trying to stop JFK from being shot or the making of the atom bomb or.....well a thousand million things that might greatly alter the future. Or maybe that is the whole point, to change the past well minimally altering the future....cool shit this would be (pushes up glasses)

Also, is this show on now or in production or kinda old or something. And if i can get it legally or otherwise, point me where.

PS....Quantum Leap was cool.

Natalie Portman on Sesame Street

I was just flipping thru our half-assed cable today (kinda came with broadband.....kinda) and I saw a quick flash of miss Portman. I turn it back to good old reliable Milwaukee Public Televison and see big bird instead. I was confused. Then it clicked....she was guesting on SS.

Basically it wasn't anything special, just really weird. Her voice was almost gone (a cold maybe?) but sudden;y she went into a song about something. I was too busy laughing to care really, but it was more funny because a second before that she had a quiet, raspy...then she's singing.

I couldn't tell how i\old it was really. Her hair looks longer than it would be now, but shorter than for ROTS.....so i'm guessing right around when she did Closer.

So yeah......just mentioned it because in light of her SNL rap....I found this pretty hilarious even if she did it beforehand.

So, is the rest of the show as good as this excerpt? And which other films are "broken" in it?


It's basically the same type of humor but that clip was only a sketch they did. The whole show is just extremely random and makes fun of a lot of things but with that same sarcasm toward it. "The Worlds Most One-Sided Fight Caught On Tape" is hilarious, it's just so awesomely random. In no way do you know what's gonna happen. The Sci-Fi convention was great two. You will only be doing yourslef a favor to somehow get a hold of these DVD's (legal or otherwise)

Ditto. Maybe not at that moment, but the ending leaves us believing that the Jedi will once again return and bring "peace and justice" to the galaxy.


....and the cycle will repeat.........damn, just thinking of that makes me happy.....because I know it will never be made into a movie and I can think of it all by myself.......just how I was happier before the PT and had my own vision of the OT history.

As for the topic........like someone above said, I think ROTJ can easily mean all three things.

I guess I like to use ..... alot

Padme's Ruminations

This music, this scene, is the best in the whole franchise. If you don't know of which one I speak, it's the balcony scenes between Anakin and Padme, at dusk, with the creepy music and middle-eatern vocals.

First off, when I saw this in theaters, I was floored by the complete rush of emotion I felt, especially for such a simple scene. The only two ther times I had that feeling were the funeral of qui-gon and the end montage in AotC. And it's the powerful combination of George Lucas' incredibly powerful directorial eye (in the scenes without talking) and John William's persistently incredible scores for these movies, that make these scenes work.

I think because both the music, and that kind of scene, were such a departure from regular Star Wars that I felt so moved by it. It just seemed so eerily important. More important than anything before or after it. That might not be true, but at the moment, it felt so powerful. The visual look of the scenes was so incredibly fitting to the music and emotion. It seemed so sad.

Evertime I hear that cue from Williams, I basically stop what I'm doing and listen, and I get the same emotion. It's perfect "calm before the storm" music. Like everything is going to change after it. It could be put in lots of situations or movies.....or something.

Now, don't get the wrong idea hear. I, for the most part, do not enjoy the prequels. I like TPM for the memories I have of when it came out, and I like ROTS cuz it's the closest we'll get to good Star wars again....AotC had Across the Stars....thats about it for me. The OT will forever be the best, and I'll never watch them 1-6.....ever.

But Goerge has his incredible moments. Moments of pure cinematic genious, profound emotion were I can tell he really cares about these movies enough to not cut them. And I know I'm not the only one that felt this way about those scenes and to be able to work up those emotions in other people means to have done exactly what you envisioned and executed it perfectly.

/end fanboy rant.

only is these new ones have success, like studios did with DVD. And evn then, not for years and years. Most people, like the switch to DVD from VHS, will take a while to update, if they ever do, and since this format isn't the incredibly leap that going to DVD was, in the average consumr's eyes, they can't afford to stop making dvd's.

That was a long last sentence.

Well, if they aren't bastards about it, they will very quietly go about fixing the video.audio issues with the original DVD set of the OT.

But then again, they've hidden their flaws under the "creative decision" facade and to change them would probably force them to give in to a recall of the 2004 DVDs.

Goddamnit, I hate shooting my own hopes down.

Oscar Night...

Best Picture..........Crash?

Now don't get me wrong, all the nominations for that category were excelent but.....Crash. I thought it was interesting and kinda controversial (not in the Brokeack scale of course) but I personally think Munich was a much more intersting film. The acting was better, the story was more interesting and intense. Very emotional and suspenseful. Just my opinion tho.

Crash just wasn't my kinda movie. It was complex and realistic but not very entertaining and kind of stereotypical. Brokeback Mountain was a very daring, well acted, well directed, and a movie that really made you think about things well at the same time completely engrossing you in what the hell was going on.

But....oh well, it's just the Oscars.

On the more kick ass note, Phillip Seymour Hoffman won Best Actor. I damn near jumped in joy. He finally got recognition for being one of he most interesting actors out there and he did such a weirdly awesome job in Capote. He was so into that character (and apparently stayed in character, voice and all, for like 36 days of his shooting) and it shows.

Rachel Wesz won, King Kong got 2 (maybe 3, can't remember)

In all, I'm kinda glad the academy went away from predictable expectations like not giving Brokeback Mountain everything it was nominated for. It just seems to happen too often, the one film sweep. Extremely few movies can possibly be that good. Again, IMO.

Anyone else catch the completely unedited "talk shit" line in the ...Pimp song. How the hell do they miss that. Kinda funny I think. And the one guy they completely cut off after winning something for Crash, one guy talked them BAM...commercial while the other guy was walking up.

Jon Stewart did an awesome job, even made fun of himself when one joke or another didn't work so well...the intro was great.

I love Oscar night. And now...sleep
