I find the concessions that we're running out of oil and need cheap, clean energy really surprising coming from the filmmakers.

Quickly: wasn't the rationale behind a clone army that "tactical droid" was an oxymoron?

Yes. It's about time someone told bullies that what they were doing was harmful and wrong.

Thanks so much for your response!

I read "Alien Queen Barbie" and was so goddamn disappointed by what I actually found in this article.

I think people freak out because PBS costs the government very little and discussions of removing its funding to fix budgetary problems are red herrings and misdirection, and because there's a strong fear that, if budgets are a reflection of a government's priorities, removing PBS' scant funding is a concrete example…

I love this - and just drop them into a situation where they are on the job for days or weeks. They meet up, set off...and are stuck in costume for the whole movie.

I love "El Maquinito," but even better, well...I'm told by some of my Mexican friends that they grew up thinking R2D2's name - because apparently it's not translated in the Spanish releases - was "Arturito," i.e. "little Arthur."

I hope so - the verb "joder" (ho-dare, I guess, would be an anglicized pronunciation) means "to fuck/to fuck(mess) with."

None of the above. Once the gray goo assimilated the Unicorn the gray goo would convert everything else into Unicorns.

Yeah there's a WHOLE lot of written language in Star Wars, lots of reading displays, lots of references to reading...
