And if they get pregnant, you can sell the results.


And yet, if your kids die, you don't toss them on the dumpster, or flush them down the toilet...

My favorite episode was when Bingo the squirrel was going to move, and he was saying goodbye to the whole gang and stuff, and everyone was doing him favors and paying him icecreams and stuff, and then he moved to a house 2 blocks away, and everyone got pissed with him.

That's from "The Producers", Warbler.

Hitler was such a bad guy, even Palpatine is better than him.

I liked "Paths of Glory", but it's a good film, and that's it.

I didn't like "Spartacus".

I absolutely loved "Dr Strangelove" - it's a great anti-war film, explores the absurdity and the insanity of the cold-war. It's like what Carl Seagan once said, the cold war was like two persons standing in oil to their chest, one with 2 matches, the other with 5.

I don't need to say anything about 2001 and A Clockwork Orange, as they are the absolute perfect films.

I enjoyed "The Shining", but it was kinda weird, not exactly a "horror" film.

I enjoyed "Full Metal Jacket", specially the first half (of course).

I kinda liked "Eyes Wide Shut", not bad, but still NOT his best film.

What if someone else had played Obi-Wan instead of Alec Guinness?

There would be no "Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom", as he would do ROTJ instead. And ROTJ would probably only come out in 1984, as he was busy finishing ET and Poltergeist on early 1982. He would add more senthimentalism to the "Vader is Luke's father" thing, Leia would not be his sister, and Solo would die.

This relates to something i've been pondering recently - By the time of the OT, are all Storm Troopers still Jango Fett clones, or has the empire started recruiting/enlisting? While Obi Wan is messing with the tractor beam on the death star we hear 2 troopers talking about a new landspeeder model on the market, just like a couple of regular joes, not purpose built clones. What does everyone else think? Ordinary people joined the Nazis during the war, why not the empire? You would get to see the galaxy, you wouldn't run the risk of them killing you cos you're one of them, and I bet they have a great retirement plan...


There are some EU stories that back this theory up. I remember the one that came with the game "Tie-Fighter", in which a friend of someone who was enlisting to be a tie-fighter pilot wanted to join the empire and become a stormtrooper.

Chaltab: well, we know what is SW now, but back then no one would know... they all thought they were wroking on some crappy sci-fi flick. Besides, it may come as a shock, but... some people don't like SW! Yeah I don't get it either.

Getting back on the topic: I wonder how SW would have come if Toshiro Mifune had been cast as Obi-Wan, as originally planned...
