I like to think that she was really broken up about not getting to wear the ludicrous wigs and makeup and her secret husband turning into a child murdering dickbag was just the final straw

By the post-count ye shall know what is valued, Sotosyn

ATTACK OF THE CLONES vs LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN

(by "that good," I mean worthy of more attention than Robert Aldrich's Ulzana's Raid)

True, true. Yeah, but Jar-Jar, young Anakin, all that is pretty peripheral. Darth Vader is like the first iconic figure that appears in Star Wars. This isn't baby Anakin accidentally blowing up the Death Donut or a clone of Boba Fett's father, this is the actual real Darth Vader from the original film. The guy that could choke somebody to death from across the room, he was so badass. And suddenly he's basically reliving a moment from Lethal Weapon or something.

Allen inserting McLuhan as a cameo might have been fresh at the time but now that Lucas can digitally insert Naomi Klein into Cantina scene on a whim this seems old hat.

He should digitally insert Woody Allen at the Mos Eisley bar complaining to Morbz and a pack of sad Ophuls fans.

why am i beginning to think morbs has a "leia in metal bikini" costume hidden in his closet.

If Jar-Jar and young Anakin had been peripheral to "The Phantom Menace", it would have been a wholly different, infinitely better movie!

xp: maybe strike out "costume"?

Danny Winn and the Earthlings was an original ska band based out of Albuquerque, NM. A fixture of the local scene and an enduring crowd favorite, the band was known for melding an outrageous stage presence with tenacious hooks. Originally concieved as a solo creative outlet by Danny Winn, DW&E had became a unique amalgamate loaded with personality from each of the six members.

i live in a city that invented the zombie pub crawl and i can't imagine a star wars ska band getting booked outside of a family reunion in a state park

oh jesus they have a fiddle too

goole, Thursday, 1 September 2011 16:26 (twelve years ago) link

Not one press interview as far as I can tell. Just videos where he shares his art.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 1 September 2011 16:27 (twelve years ago) link

i can never decide whether to admire nth-wave ska bands fot their never say die spirit or wish we still fed people to lions.

strongo hulkington's ghost dad, Thursday, 1 September 2011 16:29 (twelve years ago) link

My first video project ever, this is a never before released short documentary featuring the Ska band Danny Winn and the Earthlings. It was originally a promotional DVD that was sent to such places as The Tonight Show, The Conan O'Brien Show, Saturday Night Live, and many more to potentially further the bands progress. This video never meant to be viewd by fans or others and because it was meant to be a Promotional video for the band, it is a bit bragadocious and focuses mostly on the bands accomplishments and wide range appeal.

"we're not in this just to make music for ourselves, we're in this to please other people and to entertain"

!! no one ever says this!

That's a quote from George Lucas.

strongo hulkington's ghost dad, Thursday, 1 September 2011 16:36 (twelve years ago) link

I just noticed why the 'NOOOO' thing is so funny to me. It reminds me of Xavier: Renegade Angel, who often witnesses something happen and then shouts "Nooo!" while the camera zooms into his eye for a flashback. Having Darth scream this before/while picking up the Emperor, it sort feels like Lucas really wants to zoom into Vader's eye and cut to a flashback montage of a bunch of prequel scenes so that us idiot audience can further connect the dots between his troubled past and the serious deep soul-searching he is undergoing at that moment.
