If Star Wars flopped....

In a way, movies today would be pretty much more artistic-focused than mindless blockbusters, don't you think? Movies would be focused on violence or plot twists to get an audience. Special Effects would not be an industry of its own. Also, if SW wasn't a hit, there would be Star Trek Phase 2 on TV in the late 70s... Probably no Star Trek movies until recently, as part of the "old series becoming movies" hype.

Oh come on, try something more awesome. A Jabba the Hut cosplay would look amazing. Or maybe Lobot or Bobba Fett.

I've been on that very same situation as well, and after an open conversation about it and a clear statement from both on how we felt about it, friendship it was set to be. And honestly, that was the best choice. With a commitment you get a whole set of, lets say, responsabilities that sort of take the fun out of it. Think: apart from sex, what are the advantages? Closeness? Can't you have it with a friend? I talk openly with my friends, I love them the same way, and I don't feel such an urgency to live on the same place or sleep in the same bed as them. And if you are taking sex as a priority here, then you should re-think how you see a relationship... Well I could be wrong, though, and this could be the result of my way of dealing with relationships and being a closeted asexual (don't worry, not as George Takei USED to be). But this is how I feel about it. What I'm saying is: if you haven't spoken about how you feel with her, DO so. You will NOT lose her respect or her friendship - unless you say something stupid like "Hey, wanna do it?". If she's not up to it, well, it was NOT meant to be. She will be there for you, though, and will be very close to you, even more than in a relationship because there is no pressure on satisfying the other or keeping an "image". You can truly be yourself, you can do what you want, you can hang out with who you want... And when it's meant to be, both will know, and both will be willing to do that extra step. So relax and welcome to the human race, filled with pains and sorrow and problems that make the rest of our life look so wonderful in comparison!

Okay here we go again. Apart from the local bands, which you will not know anything about, here are my favorites:

Pink Floyd, Yes, Radiohead, Air (French Band), Neutral Milk Hotel, Beatles, Queen, Genesis. Also: Fatboy Slim (except his last album) and Kid 606, Sigur Rós... Some jazz, mostly the Chet Baker and Stan Gets colaboration, Yoko Kanno's Seatbelts... Hmn... Guess that's it for now.

Well, first of all, God is on everyone's side - except maybe emos. Second, having a nuke pointed to some target is like having it pointed to yourself, because we all know what will happen if one country launches it. Total global destruction. So why can't we just put our weapons down and sing and dance and love? Oh yeah. Money. Lets start the Pizza Stone Jihad again!!

As the message was moving telephatically into Johnson's mind through the cat's special "shine", he would see terrible images of blood. He then realized that all his life killing people was meaningless, that all one need is love, and that the duel must be cancelled! He decided to wait at the pre-arranged spot with a white flag, to show he had only peaceful intentions.
