Got my Star Wars tickets today!!

[Brian5475E]

Yes Finally got my Star Wars Ticket today. For those of you who are Star Wars Fans

[TheGreatAndPowerfulOz]

It's a few decades late for that, isn't it?

LOL

I mean ... Star Wars came out in the late 1970's.


:P

(yes, I know you mean episode 3, not 4)

[CHNDROSE]

I would be envious if not for the fact that the last two installments sucked harshly, IMNSHO. I finally had to warn a friend of mine that I would kill her and scatter the body pieces if she tried to guilt trip me into seeing either the third Lord of the Ring movie or the hopefully last Star Wars movie.

But I hope that you enjoy it.

I see you're a Jar Jar Binks fan, through & through!! LOL
WTF was Lucas thinking when he did that to the movie?!?!?

Stick with the Holy Trilogy (as it was called by Hooper X in Chasing Amy - LOL) and the universe will be in balance.

*Taken from the script of "Chasing Amy" written by Kevin Smith:


HOOPER
For years in this industry whenever an
African-American character - hero or
villain - was introduced usually by
white artists and writers - they got
slapped with racist names that singled
them out as negroes: Black Panther,
Black Lightning, Black Goliath, Black
Mantra, Black Talon, Black Spider,
Black Hand, Black Falcon, Black Cat..

VOICE FROM CROWD
She's white.

HOOPER
She is?
(beat)
Well bust this - regardless.
We're at a panel discussion. The room is full. Five
creators sit at a long table, their names on placards in
front of them.
(One of them is a very striking Girl.) The banner behind
them reads WORDS UP - MINORITY VOICES IN COMICS'.

HOOPER
(holds up comic)
Now my book, White-Hating Coon',
doesn't have any of that bullshit. The
hero's name is Maleekwa, and he's a
descendant of the black tribe that
established the first society on the
planet, while all you European mother
fuckers were still hiding in caves and
shit, all terrified of the sun. He's a
strong role model that a young black
reader can look up to, Cause I'm here
to tell you - the chickens are comin'
home to roost, ya'll: the black man's
no longer gonna play the minstrel in
the medium of comics and Sci-
Fi/Fantasy! We're keeping it real,
and we're gonna get respect -
by any means necessary!
During the speech, Holden and Banky enter and sit up
front.

HOLDEN
(calling out)
Bullshit! Lando Calrissian was a
black man, and he got to fly the
Millennium Falcon!
Hooper whips his head around, looking for the source of
the comment

HOOPER
Who said that?!?

HOLDEN
(standing)
I did! Lando Calrissian is a positive
black role model in the realm of
Science Fiction/Fantasy.

HOOPER
Fuck Lando Calrissian! Uncle Tom
nigger! Always some white boy gotta
invoke the holy trilogy'! Bust this -
those movies are about how the white
man keeps the brother man down - even
in a galaxy far, far away. Check
this shit. You got cracker farm-boy
Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy -
blond hair, blue eyes.
And then you've got Darth
Vader: the blackest brother in the
galaxy. Nubian God.

BANKY
What's a Nubian?

HOOPER
Shut the fuck up! Now Vader, he's a
spiritual brother, with the force and
all that shit. Then this cracker
Skywalker gets his hands on a light-
saber, and the boy decides he's
gonna run the fucking universe - gets
a whole Klan of whites together, and
they're gonna bust up Vader's hood
the Death Star. Now what the fuck do
you call that!

BANKY
Intergalactic Civil War!

HOOPER
Gentrification. They're gonna drive
our the black element, to make the
galaxy quote, unquote safe' for white
folks.

HOLDEN
But Vader turns, out to be Luke's
father. And in Jedi, they become
friends.

HOOPER
Don't make me bust a cap in your ass,
yo! Jedi's the most insulting
installment, because Vader's
beautiful, black visage is
sullied when he pulls off his mask to
reveal a feeble, crusty white man!
They're trying to tell us that deep
inside, we all want to be white!

BANKY
Well isn't that true!
Hooper explodes, He pulls a nine millimeter from his
belt, draws on Banky and fires. Banky goes down, falling
forward into the crowd The crowd screams and starts to
scatter, Hooper jumps over the table and raises his fists
in the air.

HOOPER
BLACK RAGE! BLACK RAGE!! I'LL KILL
ANY WHITE FOLKS I LAY MY MOTHER
FUCKIN' EYES ON!!!

The crowd-is gone. Holden sits in his chair, laughing.
Hooper steps off the stage and picks Banky's head up off
the floor.

[delphis]

ahhhhh yes well at least this one is rated pg-13 so I guess it is suppose to be much more gorey than the first 2 which I thought were almost complete garbage(the story and visuals in #1 and then the visuals in #2)

Animated Clerks:

Randal Graves: State your name and latest film.
George Lucas: George Lucas, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
Randal Graves: And, do you think Phantom Menace is as good a movie as Empire?
George Lucas: Well, certainly, I, uh, think it's the best movie I've made yet.
Randal Graves: Permission to treat this witness as hostile. Mr. Lucas, how do you explain that in Star Wars, Obi-Wan tells Luke that when he met his father he was a great pilot, but in Menace he's just a little boy?
George Lucas: Uh, well, my... my kids thought...
Randal Graves: And how come Obi-Wan tells Luke that Yoda is the Jedi that trained him, but in the movie Liam Neeson trains Obi-Wan?
George Lucas: Uh, well, the power of myth...
Randal Graves: Isn't it true you knew this was a bad movie, that you wrote it over a weekend but kept telling people it was done for years?
Lawyer: Objection, your honor. The pod race was pretty cool.

Or the original"

Randal Graves: Which did you like better? "Jedi" or "The Empire Strikes Back"?
Dante Hicks: "Empire".
Randal Graves: Blasphemy!
Dante Hicks: "Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.

Star Wars??? Who even follows those movies anymore? *no offense*

[TheGreatAndPowerfulOz]

Since all the Kevin Smith movies revolve around The Quick Stop and there are Star Wars references throughout all the movies, I thought this to be as good a place an any to post a pic of me at The Quick Stop in Leonardo, NJ!!

And of course, to keep in the filming style of Clerks, I had to have this in black & white!



I think this summer I may have to make another trip to NJ for more photos and another trip to Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash.
If you didn't know, Walt Flanagan works in the NJ location of the comic book store. I didn't get his autograph last time I was there.

By the way ... the car in the far right side of the photo is the Lanos we were driving.
