Star Wars talk
[QUOTE=Maddetchke Malorkus]Listen to me, does it sound strange that a man from Brookline would be unfamiliar with such a Bostonish colloquialism? I don't even know if I used colloquialism correctly.
[/QUOTE]
all joking aside, i have to say that no, it actually does NOT surprise me. the Boston area is a very snobby, stuck-up, close-minded place. lots of people use the term "bubbler" but people around here have the City on a Hilll attitude that if we haven't heard about it, it dosn't matter.
[QUOTE]By the way, I read your PM but I didn't respond to it. Yeah, that's right. I might get to it today, I might not. [/QUOTE]
i laughed out loud at this, right as my boss was walking by my desk. thanks, jerk.

Actually that is a common misconception. Peoria is native Algonquin for "Poo Poo Face" so you can see where that gets interpreted. I've only lived here for 2 years so I'm only just now getting the hang of it.

Ultra-secret sneak peek from leaked Indiana Jones IV script:

INDY
(on phone)
Billy! How's it going?
BILLY
(on phone)
Um, alright I guess.
INDY
(on phone)
Hey, sorry for calling you so early. I just need to know
if you can move a couch for me, help me out.
BILLY
(on phone)
A couch? I'm kinda busy, I was going to go get a new
windshield installed on the truck. I mean, after the Nazi
fell on it, it's all spiderwebbed.
INDY
(on phone)
Shit. Maybe if you're done by this afternoon? I mean, the
couch isn't that heavy, but my back... after the time I had to
throw all those Nazis in the volcano. The Aleve isn't helping
that much.
BILLY
(on phone)
Yeah, that reminds me that this afternoon I have to go steal
some priceless religious artifacts from the Nazis. I mean, they
have a U-Stor-It rented down by where the Section 8 housing is,
and I kind of have to break in and steal it at great risk. I mean,
figuring out the code so I can buzz myself in the gates could take
awhile.
INDY
(on phone)
Huh. Well, how does tomorrow sound?
BILLY
(on phone)
Tomorrow. This weekend I have to fly a bush plane to Alaska
and fight Nazis and the evil zombie polar bear servitors they use
to guard their illegal drill-rig to hell operation, but yeah, tomorrow
works.
INDY
(on phone)
Cool.
Suddenly, INDY is attacked by RABID BURNING NAZIS with LASER EYES.

Are those clowns still lined up at that theater in California? I heard about that first in one of these forums where a pay phone number was posted and people were answering it from the line. then on the radio a dj was talking about it and said that episode 3 wasn't even going to be shown at the theater they were lined up at.
[QUOTE=snuffy]i'm more looking forward to indiana jones IV than star wars III.[/QUOTE]
I figure this episode has got to be good, i mean they have to kill off all those jedi and that should make for a lot of action
i have a feeling sam jackson is going to die in a really cheesy, cliched movie moment, chalk full of slo motion and trey parker-esque dialogue. something like he's running down a corridoor with a bunch of jedi kids and some important political figures, trying to escape the destruction. they're been chased by bad guys with bad shooting techniques and one kick ass villan with a lightsaber. they get to a point in the chase where if someone doesn't sacrfice themselves to slow down the advancing enemy, they're all going to die. so sam jackson says, "you guys go, I'll hold them off." and the love interest (the only other black person in the film), says, "you can't, you'll get killed!" and he says, "probably, but i've got to try." they kiss passionately and for far too long, because the badguys are still coming up from behind. the woman, the kids and the politicians escape. sam jackson kills a bunch of the bad-shooting bad guys, and goes through a 140 move lightsaber battle that goes through 8 or 9 really cool but completely pointless rooms, showing different facets of the technology at their disposal that they didn't use to save their asses earlier. in the end, he dies heroically and the crowd tears up and cheers, simutaneously.

The world premiere of EPIDOSE III has been moved to an earlier date and at another place, namely, the Cannes film festival. Boy, those people waiting in line must be pissed, since they all wanted to be the first people on the planet to see it.

jackson said something to the effect of "he doesn't go down easily" or something like that. But if you are even 25% correct, then thats gonna be one of the most annoying moments in cinema history. I mean, samuel l. cant do that kind of shit. He has to be kickin some ass, preaching the word...then he can get killed. None of that drek you mentioned.
Yah - ep 1 was atrocious. ep 2 a bit better, mostly cuz it had lots of cool action and natalie portman looking really really hot. Plus that noise that the missle used by boba fett in the asteroid belt. That was my favorite moment of the movie. I dont know why, it was just a really cool noise.
I love the original 3 movies though. Lucas just got lazy after that, though he didnt direct ESB or ROTJ. He actually asked David Lynch to direct ROTJ. I cant imagine what that would have been like.
Fuck Bush!

It's Saturday night. It's 8 pm. I'm at my parent's house digesting bread pudding that my mommy made. I'm doing my laundry. I just saw a preview for Star Wars Episode III
"You were the choosen one!!" Translation: Remember the first movie when we're supposed to develop sympathy for your character and get emotionally involved with your own hopes and desires? Didn't happen. If we are interested in seeing the fall of Mr. Skywalker it is for the sheer spectacle of it. And I love spectacles.
Some people who loved the original three are miserable now with each subsequent release of new Star Wars media, and they resort to sad bastard drinking fests over of the descent of quality and integrity in the reputation of the name of their childhood ideals. 'Lucas' was the word for 'love' on the lips and hearts of the children of the early 80s. And he became a tyrannical father, crushing dreams under the weight of his wookie-like hubris. But I never had much vested in it so I'm not heartbroken or anything, and I get tired of the original trilogy scene dissertations.
I want you people to see it and tell me what you think. Mr. Brown you won best reviewer, hit me with your best shot (fire away.) Nightro and Judas go rent these oldies. Why can't these movies be the movie to watch in cult cinema? And not the digitally remastered with extra goofy muppets and extended lame Jabba conversations, but the orginals.
*Stamps foot and throws plastic Lando (Cloud City outfit without cape) across the room*
I want fresh takes on the fucking over glorified mess that is Star Wars.
I say we simply assign a scene to each person, that way we don't have five people discussing the asteroid scene and nobody discussing the narrative significance of the Snowbeast that tried to eat Luke.

You maybe right. I would hope that some video stores might have the old ones. I sure don't have them. You know what I do know, that it is almost impossible to find the digitally remastered originals. That is, the original movies - no extra scenes, but digitally enhanced for superior picture and sound quality. They did release these on VHS, but only for a short time. Then the only ones released after that were the revamped ones with extra muppets and scenes. It's repugnant, really.
I have two of them on VHS. I think they were recorded from HBO back in 1989.

I'm up for ir, that's all im saying npow, im to damned tired to go into review mode. Bullshit mode yeah, but re-zizzah-vuew? Fizz-uck no!
I'm game tho.
Up for what? The hell's going on here?
FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(serious STAR WARD disco)
What the hell is this?! Get rid of it!
"Well, well, what have we here?"
Which is your favorite Leia?
Her debut as imperial captive in white gown with cinnabun hair and storm trooper blaster, hood up for "help me" R2 transmissions, hood down for a quick getaway.
White Scoopneck awards ceremony formal gown at the end of A New Hope
The quilted Hoth pantsuit and vest
Her most elegant Cloud City floor-length Lando-trapper with loopy braids
Jabba's Palace metal pushup underwire slave bikini
"someone who loves you" cross dressing thermal detonator packing bounty hunter surprise
Camo combat poncho on Endor with "it's a hat, see?" battle helmet
The Ewok Village topstitched pullover with long full mane
This one. Because it would be so easy for her to go into the passive Eskimo demure female mode that this suit warrants, but instead she's still got rockin hair and she's all like 'MAYBE I DON'T WANT YOU HERE HAN EVEN THOUGH I AM SECRETLY IN LOVE WITH YOU' and kicks ass and reads maps with little lights all over them and stuff. HERO.
There is hope, but not for us.
[QUOTE=jane s.]and reads maps with little lights all over them and stuff. HERO.[/QUOTE]
ahhh! I squeeled in delight at this and put my hand to my face.
"scruffy looking nerf herder!" That's also the one where she kissed her own brother. ackk!!!
I think Princess Leia is one of the unsung heros of film. I mean, chick had it ALL, right? Gorgeous, a princess, smart as hell, cunning, strategic. I mean, right? And she doesn't let love get in the way. She's like NO LOVE! I MUST SAVE THE UNIVERSE!1 But once the universe is saved, she's like, let's make out in the treetops. Man.
There is hope, but not for us.
I think Samuel L Jackson's character doesn't fit in the movie. I saw the preview for the upcoming movie and they all have accents or some sort of accent, as they normally do, but his voice doesn't fit ther movie. I think he sounds to urban if that makes sense. I think he should have faked a voice.
Also, it seems like there is only one balck person that can be in the film at one time. I mean Billy D (Lando) filled the quoted in the movies prior.
[QUOTE=JKuhlmann]it might not be so easy to find the "original originals" anymore.

it is. just go to a used store and you can find the digitally remastered ones (not the directors cut, but the others) for pretty cheap. I put price labels on several copies of each movie just today.

What do u guys think of Lucas using whats his face (the new anakin) at the end of return of the jedi instead of the fat bald vader that luke unmasks. also, what would u have thought if he replaced old obiwan w/ ewan?

shut. up. There will be young chewie and han cameos?!?! Does it show them meeting for the first time? Was Han really that much older than Luke? Not possible.
Remember that scene in Star Wars when the Storm Trooper accidentally walked into a doorway? Good times.

i don't know if this is happening, but it should.
Lucas totally fucked up in EPISODE I, when he showed Anakin and Obi wan kenobi meeting for the first time. THat is one of the biggest moments in Star Wars history, and all they do is say hi. there is no extended scene, like there should be. no foreshadowing.
it's just lazy.

I would hate if he changed the unmasking. It's ok that he looks nothing like he used to. The dark side changed him. Old Obi Wan was perfect, a sage-like grandfather. How would he make these changes? Are you asking because there is talk of any of this, of editing the old ones, or just to ask?
when does the storm trooper walk into the door? i wanna see.

I never saw Episode 1. It does sound like a disappointment. Stupid kids. I'm not making fun of you. I love that scene. I never saw it until my older brother pointed it out. Ohhh I died. It's lovely. He bangs his head, then the camera pans away and when it's back on him in a second he's adjusting his helmet.
