If Franken were serious about this, he would have just sent the letter to the FBI, but not made it public. By publishing the letter, he's saying "Hey look at me! I'm the glorious defender of the innocent! Vote for me! Vote for me!
James Earl Jones had been acting for more than 30 years when Star Wars came out. He had a part in Doctor Strangelove. Would he have gotten his role in Conan The Barbarian without SW? I don't know; I think Star Wars enhanced his fame, but did not create it.
Who else could have been the big star of the film? Hamill played the idiot-savant of the Force, and it was clear that his actual personality was not far from his character's. Fisher's character was royalty (not something an audience is likely to be sympathetic to) and Fisher was not as suitable to an action film as a Sandahl Bergman or a Sybil Danning. Her role limited her to a position which was not critical in the big battle. She was too passive when Cushing had his hand on her shoulder. Her character was panicy in the vertical shaft scene, and then she allowed Hamill to support her when they swung across the shaft. Alec Guiness's character dies. C3PO and R2D2 are comic relief. Other major characters are villains. Nobody left but Ford, and he enhanced a good character.
How does a liberal arts / humanities class differ from studying on your own? Two ways: you're in the company of other ignorant students, that's no help. You're subjected to the teacher's guidance and bias, occasionally helpful and frequently harmful.
It's better to study on your own and buy the advice of an expert only when absolutely necessary.
There are exceptions. One of the mathematicians profiled in E.T. Bell's "Men of Mathematics" claimed to be quite proud that his work had no practical application. Alas, I can't find the quote now.
It's been 45 years, but when I was at MIT the Humanities was leftist indoctrination. To get an American History class, I had to take advantage of a cooperative agreement with Wellesley.
The two leading potential Democrat candidates are Hillary and 'Granny' Warren. Compared to them, Fiorina is a shining star. Fiorina falls about in the middle of the Republican pack, sounding good but with a field of destruction in her wake.
A Democrat president elected in 2016 means the end of the US as a world power, and the beginning of a new dark age. I feel very sorry for the youth of today.
The country's current financial problems lie in the erect laps of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Due to them, Bush was unable to remove the legislation that caused the 2008 collapse. Granted, Bush is responsible for doing the exact wrong thing in response to the crash, and Obama has followed his lead, compounded with corruption and deliberate destruction.
But don't let me get in the way of your Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Hillary's foreign policy will be to refuse to act, and then be unavailable when something goes badly wrong, and then try to destroy the records. Again.
Karl Rove is a money-raiser who makes heaps of money for himself by running GOP campaigns, win or lose. He sees Jeb Bush as his best bet for making money from a compliant, non-distinctive candidate. Cruz won't touch that bastard, more credit to Cruz.

Seeing Franken clothed is pornographic. It blisters my mind to imagine him naked.
The idea that Franken is a decent guy is the funniest thing I've ever heard about him.

Forbidden Planet: Anne Francis.
Creature From The Black Lagoon: The Creature.
The Crawling Eye: Janet Munro
The Thing From Another World: The Thing

I can't speak to scene length, but shot length in IV was quite short, averaging less than 5 seconds before changing to another camera.
Ford is intelligent, and it shows.

You need to see Mosquito Coast. It's an agonizing movie to watch, and it's that way because Ford played the role well.
Liam Neeson was an established actor long before SWPM.
Nicholson has the advantage that his personality is not far from the villains he plays.
Except for a dry spell 2006-2009, Mel Gibson has been in at least 1 major motion picture a year for 40 years.

It appears you've never been charged $200 for an hour's work by a plumber.
If Tim Cook is so bloody interested in equality, he can give to the poor everything he is paid.
The US was founded on justice, equality before the law . All other forms of equality forced by law are a swindle; they are injustice.

We already did that in 1992 and again in 1996.

There is. There are 1.6 billion members of this conspiracy, called Islam.
Brown has been known to be a loon for over 30 years. It shames California, not Whitman, that she lost.
And Russia.
