Hotblack Desiato really fits well as a science fiction futuristic name of a character but funnily enough, Douglas Adams got it from the name of a Real Estate agency in Islington (it’s the surnames of the two founders and Douglas Adams being who he was, asked for permission to use it first).

I’d watch 47 hours of David Lynch rotating an owl...

‘A group of owls are called a parliament! Also, they are spaceships for inter-dimensional electricity spirits! Here’s the weather today in Los Angeles!’

“Obviously, from a modern point of view it looks oppressive, but it was actually rather progressive for its era.” So it’s a Whedon show ba-dum-tinggggg!

The genius who though it would be a smart decision to bump WW84 from winter 2019 to May 2020 will never live this one down.  

(deep despairing sigh)

I think we all know where this is headed. . . .

It’s also coming to a head that Kansas is getting.....slightly less red.... due to just how bad the Koch experiment messed the state up, to a point where even the conservative voters noticed 

Have you seen Bright Lights, Big City?

The main thing Borders had in common with Tower was that both companies got investment and over expanded in the 90's, only to collapse in the mid 2000's, leaving many malls with big empty stores.

I remember Borders. It was pretty cool. Not Tower cool. It was a little more expensive but better than most music retailers for selection and they carried imports.

Besides, if you live on the surface you have to deal with Columbia flying overhead.  There’s always a lighthouse.  There’s always a man.  There’s always a city.

And I’m shaking my fist, not so much at you, but at me for being nearly eight hours late with it.

I honestly expected to see stormtroopers being roasted like celebratory pigs during that final scene.  Well, not honestly, but it would have been true to their nature.

I was waiting for someone to post this! “What is your degree in, POETRY?!” is one of my favorite lines in anything ever.

That’s a fair point. But none of those spies are public figures like the Queen of Naboo is (so in theory no one would know anything about them in the first place). Using her publicly-known first name as her disguise name is still an odd choice - unless it’s a double-bluff that’s so dumb it’s clever.

Fair point, I think the overly cute ending warps my general opinion of what the Ewoks were like. Wicket is quite good when Leia is in that stand off with the storm trooper.

Well, they’re not adapted from the same book at all.

It was the first time Hollywood had gone back to a long-assumed retired major property, and even though the new entry sucked, it also made bank.

There’s just only so may times I can listen to an 80 year old Irvin Kershner repeatedly say the word ‘intercourse’ over one of the biggest emotional beats in the franchise.

(That number of times is a lot, by the way)
