Star Wars

[IbisNibs]

Because we are still children ourselves?

Bwa-ha-ha-ha ...

But seriously ...

I was looking for a place to enter my most recent post above. It turned out there were 4 or 5 redundant threads on plant consciousness (etc.) strewn throughout the two decades of the forum's existence. After a few hours of updating / editing / annotating, plus the eradication of two lengthy and unseemly flamefests on veganism / vegetarianism, I finally got them all consolidated into one thread.

I reckon you have pet Triffids.

Why "adults" are so invested in puerile stories for children?

I still love Star Wars and I'm nearly 58.
Why suddenly start liking dull stuff when the white hairs appear?

I'm not particularly a fan of either of those, but I enjoyed the Masters of the Universe film starring Dolph Lundgren.
The Transformers films are all dire.

You cannot be in my gang.

The 80s He-Man movie was directed by an alleged paedophile, so it's NOT COOL ANYMORE.

Oh, FFS! Does 'fly' and 'in the ointment' mean anything to you?
You spoilt that film for me.

It was the director who spoilt the film, wasn't me guv.

Adam The Woo does the Star Wars attraction at Disneyland ..

That was great!!
I've never ever wanted to go near Disneyland, but I'd sell my ass for that attraction. I've had this goony grin on my dial for 20 minutes. Awesome!! Nice find Swift!

Because the distinction is a false one.

I have a Canon camera and found the old one too abrasive so I bought a new stretchy strap for it. The packaging included instructions and a parts warranty for a year and I thought this a bit of an overkill. ‘It’s a strap!’, I thought.
Then it hit me.

I think it was Kevin Smith that said Star Wars was basically Generation X's Vietnam.

So I am allowed to shit myself and have tantrums? Good.











































To be honest, I never stopped doing those things.

Two cynical nerds speculate about what will be in Epsiode 9:

sadly, I think they might be on to something with the time travel idea.

Please God, let Star Wars die.
