When have you quoted Star Wars lines in the right situation?
Time

This one was actually from a friend of mine, who is not even a Star Wars fan.

After walking in on my girlfriend and I in a compromising situation (with her in the approximate pose above), his favourite joke for the next week or so was to bend down and say "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!". I couldn't help but think it was hilarious and that we also deserved it for being in the kitchen at the time...

The fan favorite was practically 'spit-roasted' with a crap origin story on the one end and rubbish death on the other.

I like this analogy.

Jango was threatening in more than name only if you are familiar with Morrison's character Jake the Muss (Once Were Warriors). I wouldn't mess with Jake the Muss, Jake the Fett or any character that guy plays.

If you could control the airwaves, what would you force the whole world to watch?

Flying Circus is a skit show, while Goodies is a more of a regular half-hour comedy. While Circus had the luxury of deciding the length of any given skit; Goodies used a format that retained their basic characters throughout the show, as well as having a semi-coherent story running the length of each episode. This would plainly be harder to do and I think that is the reason why I think they may be better.

The Goodies also made 72 episodes versus Python's 45. Python's absurd humour is definitely funnier at its peaks but they were playing in a safer playground. Gilliam's art and animations also helped a lot in defining their uniqueness.

I watched The Goodies again a couple of years ago afraid that it would not live up to the memories. It did, and then some. Although I will admit to possible herbal enhancement ;)

Are they really calling him Captain USA and not Captain America, pc bullshit.

I hope its not Joe Johnston's doing and it is only a marketing thing, because if not i'll boycott seeing the movie.

See OP sky. The quote is from Cannonball Run, as Bingo impressively recognized.

 

VADER: Watch the step... IT'S A DOOZY!

Is Part 3 of Anything Ever Good?
Time

CP3S said:

Season three of Lost was absolutely horrible. Does that apply?

I thought seasons one and two, for the most part aside from some bad filler episodes, were pretty great. Season four was a step in the right direction, season five was unbelievably good, and season six was just painful. 

If you divide it into two trilogies of seasons, every third season was pants.

 

I think Lost is worth watching just for season five. It has some of the best TV I have ever seen. Five was the season I was waiting for. I don't even really care about season six because five was so good.

Police Academy 3 was where they started getting really bad wasn't it? Although Bobcat was better as a cop. I think 4 was where they weren't even good enough to get Steve Guttenburg anymore.

Have you seen the CG versions of Jabba that were added to Star Wars Anchorhead?

Only a few screengrabs. 

I accept your opinion of the puppet and the character, but aren't the CGI versions much worse?

Yes, which is exactly why I posted this...

"CGI characters, objects, and entire scenes - Gollum, Jar Jar, droids, & nearly every scene I've viewed a screengrab of from the prequels - do not look more real."

I read that. Carefully. But you didn't say they looked less real either which was why I followed it up. As I said I was not looking to pick a fight and thankyou for your reply.

The silhouette furthest left is a James, but not that one.

 

*edit* This has gone on long enough. At least you guys had a guess. The 3 on the left are James May, Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear.Their silhouettes appear in the intro. I made this as a prank on my brother and had to point them out when he hadn't noticed weeks later.
