This Movie must be stopped!!!!
Time
Getting back on the subject "movies which production should be stopped" - I'd like to bring up again one title... even though this choice may be shocking to some of you:

"Indiana Jones 4"

Seeing how Lucas and Spielberg lost their magic with age, I don't want Indy Trilogy to be ruined in the way STAR WARS was ( in this case - by introduction of prequels). I like old Indy flicks too much to witness the same process as in "new Star Wars".

I simply hope that this movie will remain only a rumor posted on certain websites.

...

The problem is that even 10-year old rumors sometimes become reality... DOOM anyone?

Are we absolutely sure it's really about homosexualism?

Webster says also: "gay" = brightly colored and showy; brilliant in colors; splendid; fine; richly dressed
Take a look at the can - it's fairly colorful, don't you think? Or maybe it's because the drink gives you energy to be "cheerful and gay".

OK, I had to modify this one a bit while translating, but now it may be even better

- Microsoft Call Center, how can I help you?
- I've got a problem!
- Well, can you describe the problem, Ma'am?
- I have a file in .txt format and I need one in .doc format! How to do this?
- The format you say... yeah... good. Please type "format" at the prompt... where is your file located? "C" drive?
- Yes, it's on C drive.
- Good, then add "C:" after "format".
- Are you sure this will help?
- Definitely. I guarantee you that your problem will vanish.

Ric, you're a smart guy, if I said we have elections coming and I show you Palpatine's voting poster - it's already funny, no matter what is actually written.

Anyway, is says "President Palpatine", "A man ruling with a strong hand", "A man who can stop corruption", "[Voting list] No. 66" and the last is a joke from the actual party: "League of United Galaxy". Imperial seal in national colors.

Leaving so many witnesses was not an option, so the Empire - as a role model of totalitarian regime - destroyed the planet along with all the prisoners on it. Yes, this was the operational test of the station's technical capabilities, but since that world was far away and insignificant, the Empire wanted to test the effect of using its superweapon to destroy a populated planet on Alderaan.

I can write this, because that information was de-classified
