  1. BIRTH OF A NATION by Emot · · Score: 0, Troll

    Was an excellent film regarding this fine Republic's upbringing and growth from nothingness to a delightful little hate-filled boiling kettle of rage and racial despisement and MERCHANDISING! Man, Birth of a Nation branded clotheslines, silk nightgowns and galvanized buckets fetch up to and exceeding fifteen dollars at auction! Considering their initial purchase prices of three to twelve cents, that states an increase of well over ten thousand per cent! This information bodes well for the Birth of an Empire collector's market. So kids, get out there and buy buy buy up all the Birth of an Empire merchandise you can possibly fit down your dumb throats! The lava-field Anakin and Throat Crush: The Game for X-Box and PS2 should fetch obscene amounts in auctions one century hest.

    Actually, it's been well-established for some time that Dagobah had a strong dark-force aura, which allowed Yoda to hide undetected.

    Sure, because the best way to hide a light source is to put it in the dark...Apparently Timothy Zhan (or whoever wrote that part) has never heard of the word "contrast".

    Lets try some analogies:
    A drop of cold water will go unnoticed if dropped on
    a) Someone cold b) Someone hot.

    A drop of green paint will go unnoticed if droped on
    a) A green surface b) A red surface.

    A shout of pain will go unnoticed in
    a) A quiet library b) A loud bar.

    A light Jedi's force aura will go unnoticed if he hides near a strong force area aligned to
    a) the light b) the dark.

    Yeah...

  3. Is there a law against the word "to"? by gkelman · · Score: 0, Troll

    According the Brtish tabloid The Sun and This will be announced soon according the article.

    Am I the only one that shuddered at such grammatical construction? Surely the word to is dying out to be in there? Also
    British is spelt British not Brtish. But come on. Use of the word to is not a crime. Use it. Now.

    Is it just me, or are the titles to eps 1-3 better than the movies. I mean really, i was hanging out for ep1 to come out....and then JAR JAR F'IN BINKS came along.

    Lucas had something going 20 years ago, why he can't leave it at that is beyond me. Look at bladerunner, cult classic, 20 years on loved by all, and there aren't 30+ sequels, prequels or interludes for it.
