Part of it may have to do with the fact that actual rape is invariably very unpleasant subject matter, and rarely results in any kind of happy ending.

"Shave… her…. HEAD!!!"

I really feel like this movie will be bad, but I would love it if it's not. I really want to be able to see a good movie that contains not one but two flaming tornados in one shot.

Jeez, people, settle down. This review is far from being high praise.

Say what you will about Sony and the Garfield-verse, but this is still very good news. When's the last time we've had a female superhero film? Freaking Elektra? It will probably be a competent film at least; if it does well at the box office (if the last two TASM films are any indication, it will), it should pave the…

Algrim and Korath also come to mind, though their roles were relatively small.

"George Lucas learned that lesson the hard way when he failed to supply his Star Wars prequels with a Han Solo equivalent—an irreverent personality to offset all the poker-faced Jedi business." You're forgetting about Jar Jar Binks.

I moderately enjoyed Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I have no shame.

For some reason, none of the heads look more eerily disembodied than R2-D2's.

I was completely expecting to read "OF COCK" at the bottom of this.

The A.V. Club
For all I know I might be dreaming right now.

Actually, that's not entirely true. Mara Jade never appeared in Return of the Jedi, not even as an extra. She did, however, appear in the RotJ radio dramatization, during the Jabba's Palace scene. But her supposed appearance in Episode VI is a myth. One supposed screenshot of Mara in the palace is actually taken from…

Nah, everybody here is a lot nicer than the pretentious jerks that live in Wookieepedia.

Yeah, I totally get that Abrams will want to feel free to do what he wants, but it would be nice to have a connection here or there, even if it's just fan service. George Lucas made use of Aayla Secura and Coruscant, after all.

Well, on the bright side, Mara Jade doesn't exist at ALL anymore.

I still don't understand this whole "PenzeyMoog" situation.

Well, he can only be "Merlin-esque," because the real Merlin himself wasn't black.

Since Krabappel's gone, that's one very good reason to stop caring about Bart staying in the fourth grade.
