    Now is talking to yourself a sign of insanity? I always do it, but usually after some idiot calls me on the phone and asks if they can check the status of an order they placed at Amazon (yes it happens); or if they can return something to me that they bought at Walmart (yes it happens too).

    Gollum makes more sense than Jar Jar.

    Someone said JAR-JAR was the social movie industry trying to give credibility to the idea of incorporating "Ebonics" in public schools. Funny it seemed to have backfired.

    LOL, I know that situation far to well. Or the guy who thinks you are the actual manufacturer and wants a referral to a place locally to buy the same item, that one is almost daily for me at times :( Others trying to get us to accept returns or warranty replacements for items they bought elsewhere, makes me wonder how many Nintendo's aka Wackos are out there?

    The fact that your wife even used that word seems to indicate you two were meant for each other. :p

    (I did actually watch the trilogy all at once but I don't know elvish or any terminology ;) )

    I hate that call. Can I buy it locally? I have begun telling people - I dunno, I'm not an information desk (well, in a nicer way of course LOL)

    As far as the first three new episodes. I think there is no way Lucus had these planned from the beginning. It was all a big cash cow. Lucus saw how popular Star Wars has become and he thought oh my god I can milk this some more. I’ll make 3 prequels. I mean look at the crapfeast the new episodes are. They aren’t even close to the originals in any way. It’s not just that it was we saw the originals at an early age. The stories aren’t as compelling. Children aren’t caught up in the new ones, either.



    Yeah my girlfriend used to ask the same dumb questions. Finally I just took her with me one time when I went to raid a small rural village. She wasn't too good with the steel, but she killed 2 people and it really helped answer a lot of questions. She, also, has more understanding when I come back tired and covered in blood from plundering.

    You can’t use the word epiphany everyday. How many sudden deep meanings and realizations are you having a day? I mean you can’t say “Oh my God, honey. I just had an epiphany. Cheese Whiz + Chips makes quick easy nachos.”

    I was so worked up by the time I got done writing about Lucas and Star Wars that by the time I hit your quotes I was on autopilot. I couldn't help but think Lucas probably said, "Hey I had an epiphany. Make three more star wars movies." "Hey I had another epiphany. Cheese Whiz plus chips."

    I mean if he really had plans for 6 movies then how come when he originally released Star Wars it wasn't called A New Hope or episode 4 or anything like that.

    Wow... this is a great thread. ;)
    I say just watch Episode 3. I enjoyed it, but those were some seriously large babies at the end there.

    As far as the LoTR stuff, you just have to watch all three back to back to back at least once. Come to think of it I just had an epiphany!

    No wait false alarm... *sigh* now I'm going to go have to cleave someone out of frustration. :mad:

    I would suggest...get the star wars dvd, put it on the floor and jump on it repeatedly. Don't watch ANY OF THEM.

    Step away from the dvd player..!!

    We can forgive the fact that you're a virgin, hell...we can even overlook the fact that you collect your own hair and nails, but a self confessed Star Wars fan - THAT, my friend, is unforgivable.

    Some men are the plundering and pillaging type and some are the stay at home and cuddle type.

    Incidently I plunder those cuddle types.
