She obviously saw that from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, when Anakin kneels (in exactly the same pose, bended on one knee) before Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith, and Anakin pledges his allegiance to the Dark Side. IMO, ROTS and Empire Strikes Back are the two most psychologically rich/dark/nuanced parts…

Granted I didn't know what the big deal the original 1977 Star Wars was about and was disappointed when I took my 10 y.o. brother (I was 25 and kept hearing about it) to see it; I was more into The Godfather. But the 2nd time I took my brother again, I relaxed, just looked at it as a big comic book movie and enjoyed…

At Disneyland, girls and boys are part of the free Jedi Training Academy (it's in an open plaza and lasts about a half hour). While Obi-Wan and then Luke Skywalker were the only Jedi in the Original Star Wars trilogy (aka Episodes IV-VI), the prequels not only had both sexes but interplanetary jedi(and since they…

There *is* a Jedi Training Academy at Disneyland open to girls/boys, 12 and under, in an open plaza. Several sessions run every day. I saw them while waiting in line to see Michael Jackson's Captain EO multiple times. (Huge SW and MJ fan.)

Me too...bwahaha. They have those Jedi Academy training sessions @ Disneyland, they run a few every day - and I saw a lot of them while waiting in line to Michael Jackson's Captain EO several times (huge fan of both SW and MJ).

Oh, no, not "Frisco" - it's a dead giveaway that you just moved into town or are not from the Bay Area. "San Fran" isn't accepted either, but it's marginally better. Francisco would be nice; but since the Beckhams' baby is a daughter, Francesca would be good.

I heart you for your Darth Sidious reference.

Plus, there is the fact that Brad and Angelina have made it through 6 years together in a pressure-cooker circus (sorry for mixed metaphor - that's all I could come up with this late at night).

Don't know about Katy/Russell. But Angelina and Brad together, the examples that immediately come to mind: their recent family walk in the streets of New Orleans, zip-riding (?) in the Budapest park, eating gelato/boat trips in Venice, Namibia Wild Animal Sanctuary, eating out as a family at Benihana, etc. Alone…

The United Nations High Commision on Refugees (UNHCR) has called shenanigans on online tabloid X17's report of a mini-riot breaking out during Angelina Jolie's mission of investigating the conditions of Libyan refugees at the border of Tunisia & Libya.

It worked - fucking hilarious, especially the taxi part.

Locals from on "Frisco" :-), FYI.

Hi, I live here too - moved here in 1980 & lived in the Mission (hate the gentrification). Am I missing something? Folks usually call San Francisco "San Francisco" or "the City," not San Fran. (And I learned early that "Frisco" is a sign of a non-local.)

"It's only been recently that I've realized that my mom and aunts were probably sexually assaulted and only know how to manage that pain through denial."

How/why do you ascribe Angelina Jolie's role as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador as "whoring out her deeds for press?" It's *precisely" because of Jolie's high media profile that she's the go-to person for the UNHCR in basically every urgent or forgotten refugee issue. The UNHCR knows her ability to be an articulate…

Sarah Lane never said she wanted top billing that I know of - do you have a link for that? And I feel the same way about Savion Glover, the top in his field of tap dancing, being short-changed in the credits of Happy Feet - when tap dancing was *central* to the story and it was all Savion's choreography/dancing. At…

Yes, I would also like links to articles to #4. And I haven't forgotten that Natalie Portman is a Roman Polanski apologist. I've forgotten if Aronofsy is, but it wouldn't surprise me - given how almost the entire film industry came to Polanski's defense.

Also, I wonder if Elizabeth had (m)any women friends - something Angelina Jolie is always criticized for not having - even though Debbie was just quoted as saying that "women liked

And Jennifer didn't have 2 kids with Brad. I was in the Philippines during the Elizabeth/Eddie/Debbie scandal so I didn't hear as much about it, but the reverberations lasted long after I got to the U.S - at least until after Elizabeth started her AIDS work, became a Dame, was granted an award by Pres. Clinton, the…

She recently said he's still into them when talking about what each kid liked to play with. The birthday party might have been as long ago as his 7th birthday. Of course, he likes to play video games too.
