You think maybe Lucas got some ideas from it? (hint hint-nudge nudge)


Yamato had a big influence in science fiction and in space battle sequences, but I doubt GL ever knew about it... or maybe he did, didn't he used to live in Japan in the early 70s?

Motti, Tezuka was the father of modern manga and anime...

There is little to see here in São Paulo, I mean, it's like visiting Detroit, what's in it? About 95% of outsiders come here for business reasons only. The other 5% are lost. Rio is an ok place to visit, it used to be better, but it used to be worse too, you just have to know when to go, where to go, and how to go. You could check out other coast cities if you are more adventurous-like. The northeast coast is ok as well, I would recomend visiting it during the low season (march-november), or maybe during Carnaval (february, sometimes march, depends). If you like nature, fishing, and being bitten by bugs, you would like the Pantanal. There's the Foz do Iguaçu falls, in the border with Paraguay and Argentina, there's the south, which feels a little bit like a latin europe. There's the amazon forest, but I'm not sure how's it like to visit...

Cool I'm an ambassador? Do I have diplomatic imunity?

I hate TV mostly because it sells a false life we will never achieve and fill our minds with violence, hate, and lies. And advertising is the conection between the TV and the false idealism that buying stuff you don't need will make you a happy, actractive and charming person. But, still, some ads I enjoyed are:

There was this campaign by Nokia here, in which they presented the life of unusual people, like a man who only walked backwards, a man who thought he was invisible (he went to a ping pong game and started playing with the ball in front of the players), and they conected in some way with the cell phone, the man walking backwards see the cell phone on a store and walks foward to see it, for the first time on his life, the invisible man discovers he is not invisible when they take a pic of him with the cell phone. It's not "ha ha" funny, but it was pure genius.

There's the famous ad, with an elderly couple sleeping on a dark room, and a bug starts to make some noise, you know, "bzzzz", and the old man gets a can and starts to spray to kill the bug, and they turn on the lights, and there's spray paint all over the wall.

The bizarre ad by Sega, with the poor ping pong player in China that played with his ears, and since he was a kid he was pulling his ears to make them big... cant explain it, you gotta see it to belive it.

And another one, I think it was a X-box ad, which featured a woman during labor work, and she shoots out the baby out of the window, and it flies over the sky, screaming, and it gets older, and its a kid, then a teen, then a man, always flying thru the sky, screaming, and when he gets old he lands "puf!" on a open coffin. And it ends with "Life is short" on the screen. Thought that was cool.

Plot holes in the SW saga

About the obi-wan never beeing found, I've heard this theory (*could be a spoiler if I am right*) that Obi-Wan fought with Anakin after he became Vader, and Vader won, but he saw Luke with Obi-Wan, did not kill Obi-Wan, and said to both of them to run away and never to come back. That would explain the following things: "You should not have come back", Obi-Wan hiding Luke on Tatooine with Lars under the name Skywalker, Obi-Wan knowing Vader is Anakin, Vader knowing Luke is his son but not knowing about Leia (which was hid under the name Organa).

I don't know what's so awesome about it. It's a place like any other.

I did see that movie, I enjoyed it very much, I like that kind of gangster-movie, altought I must say the reallity is not that brutal and violent, and the real people involved were not so young as the actors cast. It was supposed to be set during the 70s and 80s, and they speaked like it was 2001 (something non-brazillian viewers would not notice). My favorite brazillian movie is "Boleiros", which narrates 5 or 6 short stories about soccer. Unfortunally it's completly untranslatable, and audiences outised Brazil would never get the jokes.

I live in São Paulo, it's probably 3rd or 4th biggest city in the world, I think it loses to Tokyo, Mexico City and NY. It's about 480km away from Rio de Janeiro.

Yes, with some white rice it would be nice. Now, Mon Calamari is a celebration dish, usually served during dinner parties and transatlantic inalgurations, thus requiring a nice bottle of champagne (the real one, from the region of France called Champagne), served in room temperature. But please, do check with your guests if any of them is alergic. Both Mon Calamari and Ewok could be served as kosher, too.

My favorite dishes:

Ewok a là Lune d'Endor
Mon Calamaria a là Jedi
Salad Kamino, with some omelete du fromage
Green Fried Tauntaun eyeballs
Sand People's wonderful macarroni with cheese
The soup Yoda makes in Dagobah
Jarjarburger with bacon

Ewoks could be served with a light salad, or maybe potatoes, never serve Ewok meat with anything warmer than the cut of meat itself. And always serve red wine with red meat (beef, pork, ewok); you should keep the white wine for the fish, chicken, or mon calamari. What a romantic evening, a candlelight dinner with your loved one serving "Ewok a là mode du Sith", with some fine red wine from Coruscant, aged 25 years pre-ANH, with some Kenny G on the stereo...

I'm 21 almost 22, when people talk to me over the internet they belive I'm 40 for some creepy reason, when people see me they belive I'm 17, and I'll always be/act/behave like a 14-year-old kid.

Like that joke, which I belive is from Groucho Marx: "I have the heart of a 14-year-old boy. It's in a jar, wanna see it?"

Have you guys seen that Michael Keaton clone movie, i belive it was called "multiplicity" or something like that... So, in that movie it says that when you make a clone out of a clone, it becomes kinda retarded. So that's what happened to the stormtroopers, they made clones out of the clone army, and they became kinda... special. It would explain why the Ewoks defeated then.
