That's really interesting. So, from your experience, which fight do you think is better—Empire, or Jedi?

I thought the Empire Strikes Back fight way better than the one in Jedi. The fight choreography in Jedi is just terrible compared to Empire. The way Vader sort of awkwardly steps across Luke, and sits down, so his hand is conveniently positioned for the second camera? It's just clumsy.

Well, you could put tax rates back to something approximating the levels in the 1960s. Then there'd be some extra money.

If you want a linguistic answer, I used this website:

The criteria they are using—"official languages"— excludes that, though. Papua/New Guinea has more like 300 if you use the linguistic data from the Max Planck Institute's World Atlas of Language rather than Wikipedia, anyway.

The question that you are asking—a linguistic one, about drift and so forth—can't be answered by the criteria you have selected, which are political. What language a nation-state recognizes as official is based on politics, not linguistics. Mexico has 60+ national languages that are recognized by the Mexican…

If they had regular boots they'd be ok. It's the footies that are the problem.

Fortunately, there's very little cannibalism.

Everybody I knew that hung out at comics stores in 1978 was more or less outraged at Marlon Brando having the "S," because everyone knew it was the English letter "S"—for Superman—and it was stupid for a Kryptonian to be wearing it. I don't know anyone who thought the S was an alien symbol at the time the Donner movie…

I'd like that too. I'd prefer a Jor-El with the sunburst thing rather than the stupid "S." The revisionist making the "S" a Kryptonian thing has always seemed ridiculous to me.

When the original 70s Superman movie came out, fans were outraged that Marlon Brando was wearing the Superman "S," because the "S" stood for "Superman," and it was a stupid thing for a Kryptonian to be wearing.

I've heard versions of the story that it was pretty much Marlon Brando's idea.

Yeah, I think it's a by-product of the blowing-up. He's not allergic to Kandor.

When Superman started, the "S" just stood for Superman, like the bat on Batman stands for "Batman," not the heraldic crest of the Wayne family. The "S" being a Kryptonian thing was created during the Superman movie, ostensibly by Marlon Brando, who wanted to wear it because he thought it looked cool.

Rick shot them in the head.

I was wondering that too.

It's like Disney WANTED it to fail.

With Pixar Galactus fighting Pixar Fantastic Four? Hell, yeah.

I wish Pixar had done "John Carter."

Yes. You could seamlessly edit Anakin into Dune, though you'd have to digitially alter the Anakin footage a bit to make the cinematography a little more shitty.
