Can we try to stay on topic here?

My response to the Ayn Rand thing was great, I was like, "Uhhhh…" and just sort of trailed off like that. It was best not to speak.

Downvote me then, bitch!

And so it goes…

To be fair, when he says, "Bloody MULTIPLE mes, coming out of a CORPSE!" he is being funny. Unintentionally, but still. Also, cut him some slack; he needs to find stuff to report on that has nothing to do with Trump fucking up, and that's hard.

Hey, I slept with a girl who thought Ayn Rand was the best writer of all time. Not just a good writer, but the BEST writer… of ALL TIME. There should be a law banning attractive crazy people.

Fun fact: Barron Trump is autistic, and Trump calls him "the retard." If you think I'm making this up, then you don't know Trump.

Do I… make you horny, baby?

Remember how at the end of Battlestar Galactica, they showed lame little flipping toy robots and Roombas to tease how the Cyclons began? This is how it happens, people!

Hell no! Take out all those 70s R&B session singers? Never!

There's a lot of soul happening in that song. "Maaaaake a liar tell the truuuuuuth!"

Make a hawk a dove! Something the world with love! Something something something something!*

Yeah, a friend of mine gave me the annotated screenplays book, so I remember the part where he was a dick about Brackett. I also remember how his original plan was to give Star Wars an all-midget cast. …So, to sum up, George Lucas has had some good ideas, and some not so good ones.

Ugh, don't remind me. Bring back Big Shot! Or the gangsta rabbit…

DEAR GOD, THAT IS ONE TERRIBLE FRENCH (fine, Belgian) ACCENT IN THE TRAILER. I mean, gawd.

Yeah, I mean, I'd want to be able to teleport so I could rob banks and travel the world, but yes, in terms of real-world application, translating stuff is for sure more useful than eye-lasers.

Yeah, but Lucas likes to give himself writing credit where it's not really due. Tons of people tried to revise The Phantom Menace, for instance (including Carrie Fisher), but the credits just say 'written by George Lucas.' And I've read Brackett's script. Parts of it got tossed, but she came up with Vader being…

Yeah, one of my professors in writing school used the prequels as an example of how not to construct a story. Later on, I did this too.

There's also no real main character in any of the movies. Who's the protagonist? Obi-Wan? He just stands around and frowns, mostly, and has zero character arc. Anakin? Sort of but not really, plus he's the bad guy, plus he stands around and broods, mostly. …But if I start pointing out flaws with the prequels,…

Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan wrote 'Empire,' Kasdan wrote 'Jedi,' the team who wrote 'Temple of Doom' rewrote 'Star Wars.' Lucas just can't write very well at all (hot take; I know).
