For them? It would be too damn scary for me!

Next year I'm planning to go to an anime convention dressed up as an anime character, I'll post photos here if I ever do such an insane thing.

There are better ways to kill youself, but there is NO way he could have done this without noticing. He had to druve all the way around the airport, which stands between the avenue and the little artifical "peninsula" where the runway is, and he had to either drive over some sidewalks, or sneak the car through some locked gates I've seen. If he wanted to kill himself he could have pulled a "The spy who loved me" stunt and driven into the water.

In otherwords, the imaginations of the public have gone dow nthe drain so that simple names like those in the OT just won't cut it nemore. The people need to think that the characters are outlandish & such, and the only way lucas can seem to do that is by having funny names that just scream "I'M FROM ANOTHER PLANET!!!"


You mean, names like "McG" and "Cher"?

Perhaps he didn't forsee the Ewoks. OK, let's see, if it wasn't for the Ewoks they would possibly reach the shield generator (didn't the Ewoks indicate where it was?), and then they would be caught and the Death Star would still be protected. The whole atack would be aborted, and the surviving rebel ships would get away. Skywalker would surrender and the whole thing that happened inside the Death Star would still happen, and the Emperor would die. Since the Death Star wouldn't be in peril, the emperor soldiers would come in and capture both Anakin and Luke. Anakin would die, and Luke would probably be terminated. Hmnn...

I guess nobody expects the spanish inquisition, I mean, the Ewoks!

Jet Taxi
2002 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
(30 January 2002, Brazil) Airport taxi drivers frequently hear the announcement, "The white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only." But Santos Dumont airport in Rio de Janeiro may need to add a new phrase: "The runway is for take-off and landing of airplanes only."
"The signs that tell you to stop when the plane is on the runway are practically invisible," said the director of the local taxi cooperative. Apparently a Boeing 737 preparing for takeoff was equally invisible to one 64-year-old taxi driver, who sped onto the runway after dropping off his fare. He was right behind the jet when it revved its engines in preparation for a 140-mph takeoff.

Local aviation experts say the force of the 737’s jets is comparable to a hurricane, but, we assume, much hotter. The taxi was spun 25 meters through the air, hit the rocks at Guanabara Bay, and ejected its driver. The man’s tip for the trip was a broken skull and thorax. He is presently in a coma.

Airport authorities cited driver error as the cause of the accident.


I vaguely remember that one. I've been to that airport dozens of times for the past few months, and I still have no idea how he was able to drive by the end of the runway. The airport is located in a small "peninsula" thing, so that you only see water until the plane hits the ground. The runway is so small and the airport is so old that since last month it has been used only for Sao Paulo - Rio flights (the most common flight over here). I don't remember seeing any easy way for a taxi to get over there, so I guess he sneaked in during the night for reasons only known to him, as there's absolutely nothing there for him to see. Maybe he was so stupid he thought he could get customers right out of the runway. But the fact is it did really happen, I remember seeing images of it on TV, and it was featured on Discovery Channel's Mythbusters.

Yes, but don't you think the emperor made a HUGE miscalculation of what was needed to destroy it? He allowed them to land on the Endor moon, recruited the most incompetent troopers to guard it, so incompetent they could lose a battle to Ewoks, and he kept himself INSIDE the Death Star while the rebels were trying to destroy it! I mean, didn't he learn from Moff Tarkin's mistake?

"Sir, we have analized their atack and there is a threat. Should we get your ship ready?"
"Evacuate? On our moment of tryumph? I think you overastimae their chances!"
"We don't want you to take any chances, sir."
"There is no need. Those rebel will learn their final lesson now."
"Sir, I STRONGLY advise you to take that ship NOW."
"Damn it, I said NO! I'll stay here and watch those rebel goofballs burn themselves! Look there goes a fat one! Woo!"
"It's not that hard to blow up this Death Star, sir. Please, take that ship. It'll take a minute, and if we win, you can go back."
"Read my lips: nnnnNO!"
"OK screw this, I'm getting to my ship."

Superman's cousins flew to Earth to kill him. Superman fights the battle using Kung Fu moves in his flying suit.
Superman wins, and then flies back to Krypton, to help in the Kryptonian civil war.
This movie is the first of a planned trilogy that will see Superman crowned the ruler of Krypton.


oh my god. Please tell me they are not going to make this?


See?! See?! That's why McG must NOT be allowed to direct anything at all! Except for Charlie's Angels movies, let him have it.
