"Alec Guinness? That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time."

I haven't, but I'm going to guess lots of the submissions stretch to the point of nonsense to include inappropriate references to Jesus, Obama, the good old days before dedgregation, and other general racism and bitterness that it isn't still 1959.

I'm Jedi Orthodox, so I don't recognize the prequels. But even if you do accept heretical texts as canon (an offense that should get you thrown into the Sarlaac Pit), Qui-Gon and Mace weren't totally teamed up.

Shit, if a band out of Boston can be country, why not everyone?

Well, looks ain't ev'rything…

Sounds like you live in Missouruh.

[Bela Lugosi vice]: No one gives two fucks for Neville Chamberlain.

"straight-laced Reba McEntire"? I never thought of her that way. She always seemed like up-from-trash to me (it takes one to know one!).

Yep. Cf. the ending shot of Goodfellas.

I can't believe it took this long into the comments for this to be referenced!
