This couple is amazingly creative and fun. I also really like The Cradle of Doom and Goonies Never Say Cry.

Sounds Crazy Until You See It For Yourself
Jan. 9th, 2011 03:06 pmVery awesome Victorian Star Wars paintings:
Seems completely appropriate, n'est-ce pas?The whole concept for Jabba as a robber baron type, from the mustache down to the cigar, was the idea of the individual who commissioned the piece. At first I thought facial hair might break the look of the character, but I learned an important lesson through this painting, and it is this: Jabba was born to rock the whiskers.
Important Public Service Announcement
Nov. 19th, 2010 08:18 amParents, you've got to keep an open dialogue with your kids. You just don't know what they might pick up on the streets. Do you really want them to grow up thinking Greedo shot first?

So, About That Movie
May. 22nd, 2005 10:07 pmEven with my vastly lowered expectations, I didn't care very much for Return of the Sith. The script seems as though Lucas just vomited into his word processor, and despite what many high profile reviewers have claimed, you cannot make a decent movie without a working plot and passable acting. Very little was consistent or interesting, for me, and the worst of this was the politics, both the internal and the metaphorical.
( Cut For Politics )
The acting was also tank. I didn't expect anything out of Hayden Christiansen, but I thought Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Jimmy Smits, etc, could make up for it. The only person having any fun is Ian McDiarmid, and boy does it show. He ran away with every scene he was in, and if I see the movie again, it will only be to enjoy the Emperor.
And let's not even get into inconsistencies between the prequals and episodes IV-VI: ( Cut for Spoilers )

Apr. 17th, 2005 10:26 pmeldrichhobbit links to two interesting essays:Good Bye, Jedi, and Good Riddance: I have a lot of difficulty disagreeing with this. Not just because I'm evil.
Boone: Why We Care (huge spoilers for Lost): Examines Boone, Everyman. While I do see the author's point, I don't much identify with Boone. (Ed.: Well, you're not Everyman, are you?) I love the author's summary of the other male characters:
I mean, who else is there to identify with? Sawyer? He steals things and gets gonorrhea from hookers. Doctor Jack? He’s a superhero. Lottery-winning Hurley? There’s nothing wrong with him that, say, a few months on a desert island wouldn’t cure. (Unless . . . the island doesn’t want him to lose weight!) Sayid? He used to work for Saddam Hussein. Jin? He’s a mafia legbreaker. Michael? His son’s got psychic powers. Charlie is a heroin-addict former rock star. And Locke is some kind of Jedi survivalist shaman psycho. How do you identify with that?
Apparently, you just have to be me. Of course, given my history of liking not terribly likable weirdo characters, this doesn't surprise me. Of all the characters, I most like Locke. Pressed for a second, I'd choose Sayid. Strangely, none of the women appeal to me at all. Claire is too sweet and dependent. Shannon is a manipulative man-eater/victim of her wealthy, shallow parents, neither of which have any relation to my reality. Kate is the Thief with the Heart of Gold; the only way they could have made me hate her background more is by making her the Hooker with the Heart of Gold. Sun is the sheltered daughter of a mafioso. I suppose admire her most, since she has shown an enormous amount of backbone, and I sympathize with her torn loyalties. But none of the women are Everywoman, or any character I particularly relate to. I wish the older black woman with the dead/notdead husband hadn't fallen off of the island after she comforted Charlie with her Bosom of Unconditional Love.
