I think Yoda's conversation with young Anakin about being cold...

Yoda - How Feel You?

Annie - Cold, sir.

 What movie's that from? Don't believe I saw it.

I'm sure whoever you got this quote from, purposely distorted it for humorous effect.

The scene is from "The Empire Strikes Back", here's a direct quote from the scene in Yoda's hut.

Luke - I am ready! Ben! I... I can be a Jedi, Ben, tell him I'm rea- [BONKS HEAD]

Yoda - Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi...

I believe it's Episode CDXX, "Revenge of the Ganja",
the scene when Luke takes a huge hit.

...Sorry, I don't believe Yoda says this in any of the movies.

I'm speechless! Congratulations, Harmy!

Erik Pancakes, I got you beat. My speed tests say "5.46 down - 0.40 up".

I'm a whippersnapper but I get it. Although I do confess I first got to know the song through Weird Al and his parody, "Jurassic Park".

What boggles my mind is how something so dull and awful become so popular. Is our bar for 'lurid titillation' so low?

 According to an article about the movie (trailer)

So who is the audience for this rom-dumb? Mostly women over 50, and housewives home with the kids. And that 20% of men who must be even less sexually satisfied than the bored housewives and women over 50.

“Fifty Shades” author E. L. James knows her audience since she herself is a 51-year-old lady from England who looks like she would enjoy a nice beating from “Poor, f-ed up, kinky, philanthropic Christian.” Or any sex actually.

Just increase the text border and/or shadow size, then. The white streaks in the clouds really make it hard to see it otherwise.
IMHO any text color other than black or white isn't such a hot idea.

I have a suggestion. The text is a little hard to read, to avoid eyestrain I would suggest something similar to this:

Also, I'm not too sure the "before & after" pictures are gonna come out good in print.

That was a very well written analysis, hairy_hen, thank you.

Heh. Analysis.

Can't say I'm against that.

Yes, "Be fruitful and multiply" being one of them.

Don't feel bad. I wish society wouldn't push so much on us the idea the we ought to have somebody. What if we don't want to?

And if you really wish to have someone in your life, stop making excuses, go out there and talk to people. There's really no excuses, blindness, missing limbs, general awkwardness...

Unless you're the kinda guy who only asks girls to help him get a couch in his van cause his arm is in a cast, there's a woman or a man for you out there Warbler.

Funny, I thought our society glorified violence, as it's gets more of a pass from the MPAA than sex usually does. Blow people away all you want, but if you show just one penis, it's NC-17 for you! ;)

I thought the fanbase for the book was mostly women? Go fig.

 Exactly right on both counts.

 Our society does glorify violence as well, and that bugs me too.  How many people are inspired to do evil things because of movies and books?  Probably more than we care to admit.

One would argue, most of those people, if not all of them, are mentally ill. I think Catcher in the Rhye and a Bazooka Joe comic would have the same effect on some of them.

It couldn't possibly be because of the influence of some trashy novel or movie, just like kids never commit suicide because Marilyn Manson screamed something about it on a CD.

 I refer you to my above statement. Marilyn Manson is just an entertainer, no more of an act than Frank Sinatra. At least Manson's violence is an act, with Sinatra there are rumors of ties with people of a certain ilk. The fact that Manson's image is controversial is one thing, the fact that it "inspires" braindead people to kill, tells me there's a problem with them more than with the artist.

You might be tone deaf.

Notice I said used to. Besides, I was barely out of my single digit years at the time and I'd never been exposed to the accents before; I think I can be cut some slack for obliviousness. 

 My apologies, herr mon. :)

 I haven't read the book, so I'm basing my opinion on wikipedia.

From what I'm reading in the plot synopsys, it sounds really stupid. It sounds like bad fanfiction one would write..

* gets to "Background" paragraph *

OH.

oh.

Well, obviously the movie is being made because they know people horny housewives will go see it. Just like when "Sex and the city" came out. "Oh, look girls, we're outrageous! We're kinky!" PLEEAZE. Stop it.

What bothers me is that dimestore trash like this is being read by women, and it's being passed off as literature. Not only that, apparently it perpetrates a distorted view of BDSM relationships, which bothers me as any act that would perpetuate ignorance would.

I'm still watching Taxi.

The scene with Louie explaining Pac-Man to Reverend Jim is one of the funniest things I've seen lately.

In 2003, I saved photos from the Stargate movie onto a purple floppy disk. Soon after, though, I lost the disk and never found it. To this day I still wonder what became of it.

In the last few years I've become extremely forgetful. The other day I was cleaning a shelf and lo and behold, under an inch of dust, there was a floppy labeled "Ghostbusters II". I haven't used a floppy in at least three years. I suspect it might be either a dos or amiga game, but right now I have no way of knowing. And with all that dust the disk is probably kaputt anyway.

I thought Tracey Chapman was a man.

 That's funny, I used to think Mick Hucknall was a woman.

has greenie been around lately?

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE SOUND OF TWO BRICKS BEING SMASHED TOGETHER!!

Did you know that it took 12 years to make Boyhood? Twelve years!!

BOYHOOD

BOYHOOD it's amazing, it took 12 years to MAKE!

I made this myself.

I think I've had that from time to time. Is it loud, or rather, do you hear it loud through your bones?

I have neck arthritis, and it's so bad, sometimes when my neck cracks other people hear it. Sometimes it loudly pops even if I just turn my head.
