    Well you snuck that post right under my radar. ;)

    Now that was funny and interesting. Apparently Ol' Spectre has made the first move.

    sari: well, when you hit 25, you reach a level of maturity they cannot.

    When you're 30, 40, 45, and 50, you have better chances of promotion than a 29, 39, 44, and 49 year old does ;)

    And then there's retiring and senior citizenship, with all their discounts. And, they have to respect you because you are their elder and better ;)

    Casper: heh, sorry about sneaking that under your radar... I figured it was time for a post. Glad you found it amusing! And you're right, Spectre made the first move.

    I'll second Casper, this one snuck right up on me! :eek:

    Gotta love that Sorcery stuff. Nuthin' puts the competetion on ice like...well, ice. :p

    And an extra double LOL on the vibro-cane. Do those come in lightsaber versions, too?

    Great posting Jaxx and Excal, can't wait to see what the lady-folk find out about those droids.

    That's the good news... the interrogation scene is next, I think...

    The bad news is that I could be wrong and you'd have to wait a bit longer 8-}

    But the good news is that there will be a post tonight when I get back! :D

    Ay, I'll second Casper. Time well spent indeed! :D

    I can't decide which I liked better, the good girl/bad girl routine put on by Kelli and Mazza, or Turu's and Jace's drunken despondent droid enthusiast/ Dr. 'Al'. [face_laugh]

    Well done Jaxx, two thumbs up!

    Hey all, I'm still alive (despite the best efforts of senior drivers to try otherwise) and kicking. Jaxx, DK is coming along nicely (my part I mean), I've just about finished up Ryloth. You will all soon see this, and I guarantee you will like what you see.

    Gotta fly. Just sending this to the top! excal

    Interesting short post and rapid fire sequence. I wonder who tall, dark, and ugly is?

    As for action sequences 30 pages later: Well.....I don't like to brag..........but I think it took me 100 or so pages. Of course you know that Jaxx. ;)

    Well, I went to Rotten Tomatoes.com and so far Episode Two, on their collection of reviews, is still ripe.

    HOLY SPICE MONKEYS!!! :eek: Well she sure walked straight into that, didn't she?

    Oh and Booyah on that new book rating. :D Brave New World is as fun as it is crazy. A lot better in my opinion than 1984, but that's just one man's opinion. ;)

    Ok, here's a more responsive reply...

    *shakes fist in front of Casper* You braggart! You had to spoil my fun about the 30 pages ;)

    Rokangus: Yeah, Kelli has a tendency to walk straight into people like Spectre all the time...

    And Brave New World is an awesome book. Nothing but sex and soma... my kind of place ;)

    OMG!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL..... look at what I found in one of those chain e-mails...

    "In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from."

    Sweet mother of god!!!!!!! Now I can tell my English teachers that the F word is actually an ACRONYM and therefore, just because it has a negative connotation, I can say it at will!

    hey all, just wanted to let you know I have a new icon...

    EDIT: And I e-mailed that jerk from the New York Times who wrote a bad review of AOTC.

    Here's my e-mail...

    ---

    Dear A.O. Scott,

    As one movie critic to another (I write for the Asbury Park Press, a bit
    south of you, in Jersey, if you live in New York), I must say that your
    review seemed to me that you were trying write an article based on
    opinions you did not feel.

    And, for starters, when you use big words, make sure you know what you
    mean. When you make any sort of a reference to Oedipus, remember that
    Oedipus was doomed to kill his father, marry his mother, and bear
    children (one of whom would be a future star of Sophocles' better plays:
    Antigone).

    You compare Luke to Oedipus. That is completely unfounded. Luke does not
    kill his father. The emperor does that through his last power surge.
    Watch "Jedi". You see Vader's skull and his body smokes. It doesn't take
    a rocket scientist to come to that conclusion.

    Second, Luke does not marry his mother. Actually, he doesn't marry
    anybody in the movies.

    Third, Luke does not have children. He may have a sister and a very evil
    father, but no kids.

    As for your opinions, it sounds as if you were trying to be someone who
    has to criticize anything popular. It's ok not to be anal. My reviews
    are like that. I explain to my audience that while the movie may not be
    an Oscar winner, it's still fun.

    Star Wars (or Lucas) doesn't go for best picture. It goes for the fan
    base. And it is quite apparent to me that you thought you could be funny
    by trying to pick on Star Wars, especially the "bad acting".

    That's just it. Star Wars is chock full of bad acting. Lucas describes
    Episode 4 as if the audience walked right into the middle of a series of
    a science fiction movie. Meaning it's supposed to have bad acting!
    (considering what Sci Fi was like at the time, and the sorts of images
    it conjured at the time)

    And besides, the prequel to the original trilogy is just that: a
    prequel. It's not supposed to give anybody some insightful revelations.
    It tells what happened in the past.

    For the transition to the Old Republic to the Empire, Lucas can't have
    it in one short scene. Picture this:

    Palpatine: I think I'll make an Empire.

    Anakin: Ok.

    Big fight.

    The End.

    Wow! What a movie, eh?

    Please, next time you watch a movie, let yourself be drawn into the
    atmosphere. Let yourself be taken in. Then make your decision. You made
    your decision to attempt to be funny and sarcastic BEFORE you saw the
    movie. And it shows. You can write better than this. Show us you can do
    that.

    You work for the New York Times. Write like it.

    LOL on the Fornication thing! Well it makes sense I spose... :p

    And way to go in that counter-criticism. Booyah and hoorah! Besides what does Luke have to do with AOTC in the first place? ?[face_plain] Ah well, i guess that's why I'm not a movie critic. :p

    Woohoo, bring on the Tommy! :D

    Sheist!! :eek:

    Dang sory to hear that you had a week of Heck. And AP testing never makes it easy. :(

    And I'll second the notion on the 1825-1840 time period. Besdies Andrew Jackson and a lot of reforms, nothing did happen as far as I can remember.

    Hope that wrist heals up mighty fast!

    UPPERS!!

    Ouch! Don't you just hate blaster balls. When I get it, I got to itch............what? OH! SOrry: wrong blaster balls. :p

    Nah, that was pretty clever there of Ol' Spectre. Interesting to see what happened.

    And Balls up to writing to Mister *******......I mean A.O. whatever. You know, he probably had a pretty bad childhood with that name, so it goes to show you where his critique skills come from. Now it will be interesting if he will write you back. I have a doubt, though; some of those Elitist Yorkers look at Jersey and say "the landfill isn't full yet." which is totally bogus and wrong. If it wasn't for Jersey, there would be no Boss, there wouldn't be the Meadowlands, etc.

    And wouldn't you know it: it takes a Jersey native to set the record AGAIN! :D

    FORWARD!

    Rokangus: Thanks for your sympathy! It seems to have gotten a bit better... my wrist, that is. You'll also find out exactly what happens to Kelli soon enough too ;)

    Casper: Spectre's a tricky, slippery one, eh? And Jersey guys have a way of putting it right? Right! ;)
