Opus

Heehee.... It's just like I've always said, Treat a woman like dirt and she'll stick to you like mud.

I don't quite understand why "canon" matters so much. I take what I like and disregard the rest. I don't really care who's idea it is, if it's good it's in.

Isn't Captain Antilles the dude who gets his neck snapped by Vader in the first few minutes of ANH.

I havn't seen the SE version of RotJ but I rather liked Boba Fett's death in the original. It conveys the simple fact of life that even the biggest badass can still die like a bitch. I didn't really care about conehead or the blue chick's deaths. They conveyed the point well enough. My fav Jedi was the bug-eyed rasta-tenticle guy anyway. He had the honor of being slain in combat by the Emperor himself.

There was some debate about this about 30 posts back with more details. H Yeah, but that was six years ago and if we know anything about Lucas it's that he changes his mind more often than an incontenent man changes his drawers.

I didn't feel like reading through all of the posts so please forgive me if you've heard this one before but I've got a kooky little theory for you all. Palpatine alludes to having been the apprentice to a Sith who can manipulate life and metachlorines(sp?) in the way in which he delivers the story to Vaderkin. He later IMO confirms having this ability when he touches Vader's head after the lava scene. Therefore it is my opinion that Palpatine created Anakin's "immaculate" conception by manipulation of the Force. Palpatine then planted the prophecy to decieve the Jedi. The next step was to contrive the events that unfolded in the prequels in order to groom the ultimate apprentice. I have no doubt it'll take you experts no time to shoot this full of holes so fire away.

If I may be a know-it-all for a sec. and show off my knowledge of Victorian literature: Jones is more of a character inspired by Quartermain. 'King Solomons mines" was written in 1886 with a movie adaption being made in 1950 which probably inspired Lucas and Spielberg in the creation of Indiana Jones. Battlestar Galactica is a good example of cashing in on a Hollywood trend. The vipers, cylons and general plot of good guy underdogs struggling against souless evil domination are obviously ripped from Star Wars. Even so It was a pretty good show.

When does the new season start?

Eric left for Africa. The show is still going on next year. Topher Grace as a villian.... uh ya...Who will he be? The Nancy Boy or Dumbass. Why... Professor Asshat, of course.

This is my dream car.

Meh, I'll see it when it comes on HBO. I don't have high hopes of this being a good film.

Very funny, you farging ice-hole.

Not to confuse things further, but Bruno could possibly be called admiral, general since the ARMD's are each independent ships they'd have thier own captains making Global/Gloval in charge of the whole group. My money is on general since generals and admirals don't exist in the same service. But his position would be somewhat like a commodore. A captain in charge of a ship and a group of smaller boats commanded by lieutenants. Maybe they'd call him admiral instead. I duno. Thinking about it makes my head hurt. Just pick one and go with it.

How bout this'n ? M: You rescued me, didn't you? H: I...I'm Valkyrie Skull Squadron pilot, Hikaru Ichijo...2nd Lieu... M: Thank you, Mr. Lou H: No problem at all. I'm a big fan of yours. M: I'm pleased to meet you. Do you listen to my songs? H: Y...yes. All the time. M: I guess everyone is worried. M: So, Mr. Lou, do you know where we...

BW refers to him as Captain Gloval in thier list of copyrighted items on thier site but the compendium calls him Global. The compendium also refers to his job as Admiral and his rank as Brigadier General.

If I may be helpful for a change and you find yourself in Richmond, VA you might try Dave's Comics. I havn't been there in years but they used to have lots of toys. Stories is also a pretty cool but sometimes pricey comic/used book/vintage toy store.

Is it the one where Harvey Keitel(sp?) is a Napoleonic officer hell bent on killing Keith Carradine? If so, I remember it being pretty good.

You have an awesome ass too!? Cool. Most of the time I am so taken with my pecs or biceps to really appreciate how great my ass is, my GF really likes it though. My herculean physique is so dazzling that I was forced to grow a thick layer of fat over it so as to not distract the common folk from thier daily toilings.

Yup, nothing here in VA but rednecks and rebel flags. Except for my awesome ass.

I think it's more of a jade green than teal.

"Dragula" is probably my favorite TV car. A Ford 360 in a coffin. What's not to love?

Don't want to drag this too off topic from Galactica to SW, but are you sure of that? To the best of my knowledge all X-Wings have 4 engines of the same length and it's only the Action Fleet toy that has the lower two engines significantly shorter than the upper pair. AFAIK, both the Fine Molds X-Wing model kit & the Code 3 X-Wing collectable, which are the most realistic interpretations to date have 4 same length engines. Graham I did a Google search but didn't turn up anything good. I clearly remember having a model kit back in the day that came with two different engine lengths and instructions on which engines to use depending on which number you put on the wings. I still have it floating around here somewhere. Here's a pic of the studio model of red 3 that kinda shows the engines:

I'm thinking that the Cylons being so uber-religious are following the propecies and perhaps that is why they sacrificed a basestar, because it was propecised? Just a wild gess I pulled outta my ass. Oh, and I think some X-wings(particularly Luke's) are supposed to have shorter engines on the bottom.

HG sucks, the UN sucks. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

How much are the UK DVDs going for? I'll be over there in a few weeks I might pick em up if I don't blow all of my money on Danger Mouse DVDs.
