Back, by popular demand, it's...open-thread Friday. State your case on anything in the comments section.
Someone mentioned in another thread that they though the new star wars movie is going to be great. Sorry, but it's going to be a steaming pile of manure like the last 2 prequels. How do I know this?
"Obviously, fans would love to see a movie about Darth Vader running around killing people," said Lucas, who also was on hand to receive a "galactic-achievement award" from ShoWest organizers. "I'm not telling that story, and I'm not interested in that. That's not what the movie is.
The only way for the new SW movie to suck is if Lucas wrote it, and he did..so it might suck. Lucas is a good director, but a terrible writer. The dialogue in Episodes I and II were "horror beyond imagination". Lawrence Kasden wrote Ep: 5 and 6, and 5 was the best. The only other reasons it would suck is: If Jar Jar were in it, the Ewoks were in it, or more aliens that sound like chinese people. Does anybody agree with me that Jake Lloyd from Episode I ruined the movie along with Jar Jar and the crappy dialogue?
*At least it will be consistent with every other Star Wars movie - they all sucked. Marty McFly (powered with the all mighty flux capacitor obviously) would destroy any of those silly characters.
*Calgary Flames are Western Confernence Champions for 2 years in a row!
*More British pubs need to be established in *Boston (with $6 pitchers).
*Starflyer 59 are playing in Cambridge May 8th!
*When Senator Frist runs for President his signs will read "FRIST IS FIRST!"
*The West Edmonton mall is not that great.
*Mark Levin should have his own MSNBC tv show.
*...and yes, open thread friday = random thread friday. Thanks Dan!
Marty Mcfly? whatever man. BTTF2 was horid enough on its own to ruin that trilogy.
Still no fun debate-inducing posts from Flynn.
Why Flynn, why?
What posts qualify as "fun" and "debate-inducing"? With this knowledge, perhaps I can better fulfill this request.
That's really a disheartening quote from Lucas. "Sidious fighting 10 Jedi at once," "Darth Vader executing Jedi," "Sidious and Yoda having it out," "Young Skywalker becoming James Earl Jones": these are exactly what I want to see.
Lucas is such an idiot. Only an idiot could ruin Darth Maul and Boba Fett (spelling?) with Jar Jar, the terrible boy, and hours on end of love story. Curse him and Jackson too!
Here's an interesting piece from Slate.com on the future of Star Wars cinema:

Jason Apuzzo has an interesting perspective on a Wired interview with George Lucas over at Libertas.

Though i do hate breaking the long line of star wars posts, i thought it was interesting that today the jury that convicted Sgt. Akbar of murdering two fellow soldiers days before the invasion of iraq has proposed the death penalty as his punishment. I say fry em'
Who is the worlds most gruesome person? Nick Marrs? Ronnie James Dio? Andrea Dworkin? Cujo? Who is f&*&in gruesome to look at? Discuss.

US Foreign Policy certainly seems to do a good job of stirring up the pot. =P
Oh, what do you mean? That if anyone has any reservation about going to war they are classified as a "paleocon"/liberal ?
If I am so ugly, why did two hot models marry me? Many women find a man with a nine-inch gap between his eyes quite attractive.
Certainly Quato from Total Recall is really gruesome to look at.
Ben-T,
Check out the Duelfer thread from the 28th, that should be right up your blind alley.
Is there anyway to contact Daniel personally?
Dan great point about Quato. He is totally f&%*in gruesome to look at. What about James Carville, he is just f*&*in gruesome. As is Larry King. Ditto for Matt Drudge. He got beatin with an ugly stick.
Andrew,
Go to the upper right-hand part of the FlynnFiles home page and click the "contact" button. There is all the info on getting in touch w/ Dan. It has an email address for him. He is a man of the peeps so try that.
I'll bring this up here as I haven't seen Mr. Flynn discuss yet. The Young America's Foundation National Conservative Student Conference runs from July 31 to August 6 this year. I've been to this conference for the past two years and am planning to go this year. Last year Dan gave a solid talk at one of the dinner banquets on his book Intellectual Morons before holding an evening bull session.
Although there has been a bit of dissent to the domestic Bush agenda at this event in the past, the classical conservative position on foreign policy is often severely outnumbered by an assortment of global democrats and neocons. To remedy this, I'd love to see some of the strong voices who comment here in favor of the Washington/Jefferson tradition at this event this summer.
Who are more fun at parties: girls with tourettes or girls from the projects who are allergic to alcohol? Discuss.
That's got to be a handicap if you're from the projects.
After the fact I know, but, how does Clement do it? He $ucks and is still 3-0. With a 10.0 ERA.
