Yeah, seriously. It starts with a reworded version of “Once upon a time;” an evil wizard-knight who’s also a Lord kidnaps a princess while the princess tries to contact a good wizard-knight to help fight evil; the good wizard takes a lowly farmboy yearning for adventure under his wing and starts training him to be a knight; the pair recruit a rogue and his beastly sidekick to help them on their journey; the group infiltrates the evil castle to rescue the princess; the wizard-knights duel with swords…

…yep, no fantasy whatsoever in there.

^ and this

(and Star Wars has no aspects or tropes of fantasy)

Blatantly untrue.

^this

anyone ?

well , long ago and far away …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWdd6_ZxX8c

^lol

Duracell is a great master code breaker as evidenced by the red plom bloom

The original header on the splash page of the original Marvel Star Wars comic read …Long ago in a galaxy far far way …there exists a state of cosmic civil war . A brave alliance of underground freedom fighters has challenged the tyranny and oppression of the awesome galactic empire .This is their story ! Stan Lee presents :Star Wars the greatest SPACE FANTASY of all ! so there’s that . and the whole a long time ago in a galaxy far far away is inherently suggestive of the whole long ago and far away trope of fantasy as well .

I don’t know about this , seems to me like this " easter egg " is kind of retroactive and made up on the fly …https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2018/09/author-jason-fry-shines-light-on-a-long-hidden-star-wars-easter-egg.html I thought the guy was shouting " The Empire’s Down "! and I have always thought of Tatooine’s twin suns as G1 and G2 since they were named that in the 1978 Star Wars Storyboook I had as a kid and still have a beat up copy of .

you’re welcome

Hey, which one sucks the least: 1, 2, 3, or 4? I’m thinking 3 or 4.

I am going to say 2 looks the best , I would recommend 3 books to seek out 1. How to draw comics the Marvel way by Stan Lee and John Buscema 2. Constructive anatomy by George Bridgman 3.Dynamic anatomy by Burne Hogarth . All three are excellent for teaching you to break down figures and heads into their basic components and simple shapes that will give you a good foundation to build on .These books helped me improve by leaps and bounds when I was learning to draw .Study and copy them and you will improve quickly .

Hello in TV land …choop choop choop .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKOGugXwNAU

but the real question in all of this is , why is six afraid of seven ?

gotta disagree here , Roseanne Barr was a direct consequence of what she said in the moment , James Gunn was a hit job , whose comments were dug up by some of that same alt -right hate mob in retaliation .

there is a difference between wholesome and an outright asshole

You’re not familiar with his comedy. Observe as Jon Stewart laughs his head off as Norm pokes fun at Marlon Brando’s Oscar acceptance speech. You either get it or you don’t. That’s comedy. Everyone who knows him loves him.

I am more than familiar with him and have laughed at some of his jokes in the past , however , in that article you posted , the equating of Down Syndrome to a lack of empathy diminishes my opinion of him as his comment diminishes those with down syndrome . He calls for forgiveness and a second chance and then makes that comment ? WTF ?

there is a difference between wholesome and an outright asshole

IDK …I was almost willing to give HIM a second chance , until his analogy equating people with down syndrome to having a lack of empathy …having once worked closely with clients in a group home who had down syndrome , all I can say now is Fuck him man .

I have a 1977 Burger King glass with artwork of R2-D2 and C-3PO on it , I know that Burger Chef had A promotion for posters that had the same artwork that was on the glasses . I was always under the impression that Burger Chef later Became Burger King ( I live in the United States by the way ) and that is why the art is the same , but after talking with a friend , and doing a bit of research , it seems this is not the case and they were two separate entities . here is the Burger Chef commercial for the posters …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCez7mZP_ws and here is the Burger King commercial for the glasses …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCBUMErrxKI what baffles me is that I don’t remember seeing Star Wars promotions growing up in the 70’s and 80’s where the same artwork was used by different license holders . does any one have more info on this ?

Russ Heath, 91

Writer/artist of many DC war comics, and victim of Roy Lichtenstein.

wow , was just talking about Lichtenstein with my girlfriend after seeing a print at a restaurant , turns out Russ Heath was one of many victims , John Romita of Spiderman fame was another among many others …https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/comics-behind-roy-lichtenstein-180966994/

JEDIT III: Removed Jedit’s 1 & 2

I signed in just to comment …this is freaking amazing !!!

I need to add this to my collection , it is criminal that I do not own a copy yet

nice to see Ahmed Best dealing with the toxicity he received by continuing to channel his feelings on the matter in a constructive way …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2QBlA6ORHQ

I agree that they are not protesting the anthem , this line of dialogue started and inflamed by the cheeto in chief is just part of the divide and conquer agenda

The issue with Metropolis is which of the many versions does one synch Pink Floyd to?

I’m surprised nobody has fanedited the Moroder version, (my introduction to the film in the 80’s, and still a favorite) adding in recovered lost footage and extending the songs.

is this the version you speak of ?..https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/rock-version-silent-film-classic-227317 if so , would love to get my hands on it .I first became aware of this film in art school when one of my teachers brought in a vhs tape for us to watch in an art history class . I love this film in any version .
