Very belated response:

Most of those caps were made from real raccoon skins, horrifyingly enough. Even the ones where the hat fur was fake still had a real tail. The price of raccoon fur went through the roof.

Is an ace bartender a bartender that has shot down five other bartenders?

Half-assed job great job internet writer!

Edison's Conquest of Mars is the sequel to Fighters from Mars, which was a heavily-plagiarized War of the Worlds ripoff. It's not a sequel to the original book itself…and is, of course unauthorized. The only reason they existed is because Wells may have accidentally agreed to it.

Wow. Killraven. +1 nerd point for you.

That was actually the History Channel (the European branch). The Great Martian War.

Yes.

The plot is an artifact of being written before we really understood microbiology. They actually explain in the book that microbes, and therefor germs/virii/etc don't exist on Mars, so the Martians actually had no way of knowing that it was something they needed to protect against.

You summary describes exactly why it should be remade, because you've never actually seen a faithful adaptation.

The hero in the book has no name, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I rolled right into that one. Well played, Fox.

I've seen them and I certainly never owned the DVD or VHS of the movie. I remember them being deeply depressing, honestly.

Surely creating Kung Fu Panda carries a penalty greater than two years!?

I cannot speak to the quality of deployment. I have never seen the movie, and therefor would never have gotten the reference. I was just making a dumb joke ;)

He certainly had his hands on the neck of that rebel officer when he throttled him to death as the second thing he ever did on-screen ;)

And in Empire Strikes Back he's in the base before the Stormtroopers who are running to keep up with him. The only reason he's not murdering rebels left and right is because they're already evacuated. Trying to claim that letting his minions go in first is the only way Vader does things is silly.

The funny thing is that her armor absolutely is more durable than standard issue stuff. It's made from the hull plating of Palpatine's old Naboo shuttle. That's why it's shiny like all the Naboo ships. The props team puts a ton of thought into these things that never even gets mentioned in the movies. The visual…

Well it did just wake up. It was feeling productive.
