At least she was adorable in 40-Year-Old Virgin.

The real question is: Is this better or worse than the Star Wars prequels?

Howard Carmichael would eat one just to transfer all that sexual energy into writing and performing. That's why they called him "Hoagy."

Thanks!

To the sea salt!

Love the woman, love the outfit in certain contexts, hate the reason it exists, consider it mostly okay in the movie itself because Leia stays awesome and righteously takes back her agency while in it, but also respect Carrie Fisher's right to mock it at every turn.

He was really excellent in Seven Years in Tibet, even if that role isn't exactly challenging.

I almost hate to do this, but… he looks an awful lot like Andy Samberg in that last one, clean shaven.

I was thinking one of those Van Damme movies, but to each their own.

What do they sell there? Food?

Oof. Here's my Nerd Card. Do with it what you will.

I also just discovered he's writing for Rotten Tomatoes now, too! Our Rabin cuppeth runneth overeth.

Oh, that works too. Ain't no eagle coming to save us, though.

Yeah, the original Star Wars poster was essentially a Frank Frazetta painting with sci-fi trappings instead of fantasy. It really wasn't too big a leap to getting Leia in a creepy bikini before all was said and done.

With all the Star Wars nonsense going on around here right now, thank God for Nathan Rabin.

They are in Chicago, I can buy that the AVC offices just happen to be in the Sears Tower.

Huh. That is very interesting. Those movies, it really does feel like they're building up to TGTB&TU, even if there isn't a continuity to speak of. Like, they totally work watching them in release order. Now I'm curious what watching them in semi-reverse order would be like.

I have done this, and it's true. All of it.
