Around the same time, there was a great bit of unused dialogue from Henry:

"Marcus, we're like the four heroes of the Grail legend. You're Percival, the holy innocent. Sallah is Bors, the ordinary man. My son is Galahad, the valiant knight. And his father... the old crusader, Lancelot, who was turned away because he was unworthy, as perhaps I am."

Unlike the earlier bit of dialogue from Henry referencing a fictitious Charlemagne quote, this is actually based on the medieval legends of the Grail, particularly Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur.

 As a hardcore Arthurian, that would have TOTALLY upped my enjoyment of the film. Might have confused a lot of people though

I'd love if they brought back Tobey Maguire as a middle aged Peter Parker, passing the mantle to a high school age Miles Morales. 

He could give him the suit and say, "You're the man now, dog."

You're the man now, dog.

HOLY FUCK THAT WAS RIC OLIE?!?!

I didn't recognize him. But now that you say it...

Trying to forget it... need to... focus!

 ??!!??!?!?! 

I didnt see it either!

I'm reading this page, you know.

 See Warbler! He's spying on us. You can't trust him.

Warbler said:

Look again, that was Leonardo that did that, not me.  I merely quoted his post.

 There you go, giving away credit. You're never going to get ahead in the cut throat corporate world like like.

Even if someone noticed it was Leonardo, you should have claimed he did it on your instructions. Then you kick him.

"You're the man now, dog."

I'm showing my classes episodes of "In Search Of" today.

I'm not the sort to get all saddy sad when a famous person dies, even one whose work I'm fond of.

But this is making me quite melancholy. RIP Mr. Nimoy.

A thought:

I think perhaps the best way of understanding the Trinity is by reading The Lorax.

...novelty condom dispenser. So Carlos...

Clue had the unique feature of different endings

 The fact that it was funny was much more important than the multiple ending gimmick.

 The fact is was a FREAKING MASTERPIECES was important.

One plus two... plus two... plus one...?

the animated series was made way after the first season of tos.

 Transferred? Retired? Drummed out? Honorably discharged? Promoted?

I think a better question is how does the same crew constantly stay together for 30+ years.

WTF? is the next movie an action comedy.

Where is the Five year mission of exploration we were promised.

 Well, the way the portray Kirk is already halfway to an 80s sex comedy.

How about this. The wacky crew of the Enterprise gets put on Double Secret Probation by Rear Admiral Dean.

Hijinks ensue, and when they can't quite figure out what to do, Spock calls Thomas Hulce's character from "Animal House" and Hulce explains how to end the film.

Pretty sure that's a behind-the-scenes image and not a still from the film. You can see the stump where the wing ends prematurely and some of the set through the window...

Yeah OK I think you're right, but it's a blue-screen shot and the background is black...

 Could the lights just be off?

still I think the big part of the problem is that Star Trek is competing with it's self so i think if they removed old Trek from home video and TV that would help a lot and make anew Trek film coming out more of an event that everyone would have to be there for.

 You say some really absurd things sometimes, but I guess we all do.  

 I totally agree. Look how Avengers flopped competing with itself and years worth of comics and cartoons. Lord of the Rings failed because they left the Bakshi film available. Luckily you can't get the original movie serial on BluRay or else both Captain America movies would have tanked.

There's a superficial level of "meaning" in District 9 that grabbed my interest, but there was so little substance underneath some random body-horror and a randomer Mech-battle.

Interesting look at the Turkish "Dracula." I've always wanted to see it.

I don't care if we're talking about welfare, or public school, or whatever. If you used to do hallucinogens and have sex with prostitutes, you don't get to talk about 'real values' just because you got married and go to church sometimes.

 Boost, what the heck are you talking about????

 Just venting about someone, the most judgmental person, that I'm not allowed to actually yell at.

Only real complaint i have is the Imperial March is now a generic theme for the Empire and no longer Vader's theme.

 I'm not certain it was ever supposed to specifically be solely Vader's theme.

How the Legacy comics predestined things to end up a certain way. Why should I care about Caedus, Abeloth, or the Lost Tribe when I know that Krayt is going to end up in charge? Why should I care what Luke, Leia, and Han are doing when I know that they'll be dead?

 Well, when "Star Wars" came out in 1977, there was a pretty good chance Luke, Leia, and Han would all die someday.

"It's working, it's working!!"

So said George Lucas when he looked at his bank account.

 I always felt that moment SHOULD have been a nice one... but I never got the impression they were afraid it wouldn't work, or that it working was a particular accomplishment,

ROTJ is obviously the best Star Wars film, but we all already agreed on that in this thread...

ROTJ is the best Star Wars film... discuss!

 I wasn't aware of the existence of that thread. I tried to look around and make sure that this thread wasn't going to be redundant, but that doesn't always work out. 

 Usually a Google search helps.
