You mean Leia singing, or the alien commercial?


The alien commercial. I've not seen Leia singing. Does watching it induce the same kind of headache?




It is probably worse. The worse thing is not the singing, is watching Harrison Ford there, watching the whole thing. Those were precious hours of his life that were wasted in shooting that thing...

THIS HAPPENS TO MOST BROTHERS. IT HAPPEND TO ME AND MY BROTHER.


Happened to me and my brother on a number of ocasions, and we didn't speak with each other for long times. But then, like magic, we got back together being friends again. As I said one day, sometimes I do hate him, but deep inside... I still hate him, but deep inside, deep inside, very deep inside, like those russian dolls that keep coming up after you open then, deep inside, very deep inside, I love him.

OK, I know I was generally oversimplifying the whole issue - and that was my intention really - but I do belive there are two different acts that tend to be mixed together. One thing is "neutralizing" a general threat when it has become aparent that it is impossible to act in a different way, sort of like exploding an asteroid before it colides with Earth (yes I know exploding would only make it worse, it was an example), or when you have someone in a car chase and you have to colide or shoot the tires or anything violent related.

This gets complicated because it's hard to define a line between senseless violence and neutralizing a threat. Someone with a gun on the street, a sniper shooting the person would be considering an OK shooting, a neutralizing action, or a stupid violent act, depending on the background of the situation. If he has a hostage, it's one thing, if he points the gun to himself, you wouldnt shoot him, you would talk to the person (in both cases he is threatening other's life). Take the brazillian shot by the english cops as an example, as several witness and news medias claimed, he was not running, did not jump over the gate, was not wearing a heavy coat, and the cops didn't properly identified themselves before stoping him and shooting him several times. To me, that is idiotic, dumb, senseless violence, as was the bloody sunday, as is the bombing of civillians, as was hiroshima and nagasaki (even though there is blood in both american and japanese sides).

*sigh* I feel like I've written two full paragraphs but only made the issue worse, I feel like it won't make my point of view clear at all....

The Bilderberg reunions? In which the world leaders get together in a meeting not shown or talked about by the media, with a never revealed agenda for secret discussions? In some sort of a Illuminatti-esque secret society, in which the fate of us, the brainsashed sheeps of this corrupt world, is decided and forever ruled? Naaahh... what's wrong with that? No conspiracy at all...

No it dosen't. That's ridiculous, like blaming rock 'n roll music for satanism. Why don't the people who blame videogames for violence blame Star Wars? I mean, there are a LOT of people killed in the SW films, and every single movie is composed of violent people solving their problems in violent ways (cutting arms, shooting everyone, exploding planets and death stars and killing millions). So why don't blame it for violence? Maybe because videogames are interactive, but how interactive are they? Well, you are basically commanding a on-screen character in a series of very limited pre-determined animations, which is, logically, the same as having 10 channels showing violence and you changing channels at will, it's as interactive as videogames.

What causes violence:

1- Dumbness. Dumb people resort to violence. If you ever have to fist fight with someone or point a weapon to someone, you are a VERY dumb, moronic, stupid, idiotic person. Why causes dumb people? Bad education and dumb parents (and dumb people at the surrounding).

2- Drugs. Dumb people take drugs. Dumb people resort to violence to get more drugs.

3- Pooverty. Anyone poor and smart enough will do something to get out of this situation. Get a job, or create your own job, or whatever. Anyone with any education or politiness will never resort to violece. Now, dumb people, when they need money, they'll just punch someone in the head until the golden coins pop out of their ears, and they'll take the coins and spend it on beer.

Note: Anyone dumb enough to resort to violence will do such a thing no matter how many times they've played GTA San Andreas.

You wanna cut down crime? You wanna cut down violence? Don't ask for people to get weapons - chances are that dumb people will get those too and shoot you in the head. What you gotta do is to get kids who are possibly going to grow up being idiots and give them books and proper education. There's NO way to solve this problem NOW, in a similar way that there's no way to solve the terrorism problem now. BUT... one can solve the violence problem in the future. The answer is to raise the kids in a way that they don't have to be violent, or are smart enough so they don't have to.

By the way, by "dumb" and "smart" I don't mean how good your grades are and how high or low is your IQ, I mean how well educated you are about respecting others and our world. The Unabomber was a brilliant genius, but he was a dumb motherf***er. Now, someone like Forrest Gump with an IQ of 75 would be someone smart, get it?

If, for some reason, I get married, I would make the whole wedding a spoof of Star Wars.

The church would look like Cloud City and Lobot would do the reception and show everyone where to be (he will merely look back and point to the way). As the wedding begins, the bride would make a hole at the church's door with that flame thing, stormtroopers would come in, and then she would come in, as the ANH Vader theme is played. The priest would look and sound like Grand Moff Tarkin.

"In a way, you have determined that this is going to be your wife. Now, I have grown tired of asking and this will be the last time, do you accept this woman as your wife?"

"I... I..."

"Do you prefer another wife? A military wife? Then answer the question!"

"I do..."

"You see, he can be resonable. You may proceed as planned and kiss the wife"

Wife: "What? You didn't ask me!"

"You're far too trusty."

My future mother-in-law would be the Emperor.

"Good... Good... I feel like I have not lost a daughter... but gained a son... It is your destiny... Yes... I can feel your anger!"

The wedding cake would be in the shape of Han Solo frozen in carbonite. The band playing would be dressed as the cantina alien band.

I can go on and on all night with this joke....

Luke: Obi-Wan, are you ok?

Obi-Wan: I am fine. I just... had a bad feeling... Like if thousands and thousands of midichlorians have been evaporated from the galaxy, leaving a void in the force. This could be a Sith move... I shall meditate on this issue.

Luke: I... I understand. I wish I was so wise as you are... or as the Jedi Knights once were.

Obi-wan: Don't mind those things. Everything on it's time. But please, don't unfocus from your training.

Luke keeps training with the ball. Obi-Wan reads some aurabesh from his handheld device.

Obi-Wan: (to himself) Quite amazing... quite amazing indeed... your midichlorian count is quite high. Indeed Luke does have the force of the Skywalkers with him. (loudly) As we arrive in Alderaan we shall have a meeting with Senator-King Bail Organa and discuss this situation as the R2 unit is inspected and the plans are taken from him. It has been a while since I have last spoken with Bail Organa, in fact, not since you were born. It shall bring great joy to my old heart to see that old friend again... even in such desperated hours.

(Goes on for another 50 minutes)
