memory is fuzzy but was queen amygdala an elected queen with term limits? how do you go about electing royalty?

probably in an election

I can totally see how an elected queen works -- it's just like any other elected position except you get special clothes and better stuff for your family

Although it's implied in II that everyone votes in the Naboo elections.

You also get to boink guys you used to babysit.

fuckin gungans, they just vote for whoever promises more welfare

sure it wasn't decided through collecting utility data?

queen amygdala--sounds like the queen of STD's. What is Amygdala anyway

in fairness, boinking the babysitter/babysittee just a universal perk of politics

we've gone straight through some kind of custos event horizon itt

too true :(

(xxpost) Amidala - amygdala is a bit of yer brain

(xxxpost) But that would only work if they had utility data for each individual building, which they didn't because their application wouldn't allow it.

what I do best...

that's a 'shop

the crimes of Cowardly G. Soundgarden (342 new answers)

no I'm pretty sure it's a horse

why are the guys from Office Space beating a horse

because of the data thing

Definitely a 'shop. Ron Livingston originally had a golf club in the horse-beating scene.

One thing that really bugs me in these movies is that they insist on putting every last line of Yoda's dialog into his screwed-up Yoda syntax. There's a scene in Attack of the Clones where Yoda is supposed to be commanding the Clone Army in the heat of battle and it's obvious that his garbled syntax makes snap decisions virtually impossible because it takes him 10 times as long as it should to give a simple order.

When The Phantom Menace first came out, there were lots of crazy people arguing that it was a better movie than the original because it had "real" actors like Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor rather than Mark Hammil and Carrie Fisher. These people were obviously smoking crack.

haha i didnt even know that was from office space. still havent seen!!

was this literally crazy people yelling things on street corners saying this?

xpost - WHAT?!

do you think you could find anybody (outside of skywalker ranch) these days who will go to bat for these movies, specifically to argue that they are better than the originals? do this person exist?

^^ the article for which the word "challop" was invented

Nowhere in the original Star Wars trilogy is there any sequence of events nearly as profound in their application to real life as the manipulation of Palpatine as he orchestrates the separatist movement "headed" by Count Dooku, which allows him to go before the senate and ask for special
"emergency powers" to deal with the growing threat facing the peace of the republic. Perhaps if America had embraced the prequel in the way they did the original Star Wars trilogy they would recognize the danger when an elected member of a representative republic asks for "emergency powers" to combat a threat.

makes you think

Watching the Stars Wars prequel is like a lesson in civics

sounds fun

that's not even challop-quality, too earnest

i mean

Chances are you don't even remember these words of Darth Maul: "Fear is my ally."

He's written a number of things.

There is no scarier scene in the entire Star Wars canon than the one that takes place in Attack of the Clones between Anakin and Amidala when they are having a discussion about the politics of the republic, and Anakin suggests that the system is broken and needs to be replaced with something where one person in charge has the power to enforce laws he feels is for the good of the people. To which Amidala replies, rightfully, that what Anakin is talking about sounds like a dictatorship. And then these all-too-familiar words from Anakin: "Well, if it works."

dont you see??? the iraq war is OUR fault. for NOT LOVING THE PREQUELS.

Class Warfare, Ideology, and the Ways in Which Rap and Country Music Are Identical Entities
Some of the greatest music in pop history was forged by the rebelliousness engendered by class warfare; then there's rap and country music in which class distinction created the desire for assimilation into the capitalist ideology.

do you think you could find anybody (outside of skywalker ranch) these days who will go to bat for these movies, specifically to argue that they are better than the originals? do this person exist?

I'm not sure we have that individual data here.

There is no scarier scene in the entire American canon than the one that takes place in between McCain and Palin when they are having a discussion about the politics of the republic, and Palin suggests that the system is broken and needs to be replaced with something where one person in charge has the power to enforce laws he feels is for the good of the people. To which McCain replies, rightfully, that what Palin is talking about sounds like a dictatorship. And then these all-too-familiar words from Joe The Plumber: "Well, if it works."

Titles that I Published This Week that You Probaby Weren't Notified Of
I did not receive notification of most of these articles having been published so I assume most subscribes did not. I simply want to bring attention to the fact that I was published this week. Not a lot, but here are some you may have missed.

With the Adoption of Preventive Detention Pres. Obama Becomes the New Cheney
Yes we can? Oh no, you didn't! Obama's acceptance of preventive detention means suspects can be jailed without evidence based on what they might do in the future. Is Obama really just Cheney in disguise?

Is the Catholic Church an Institution Too Silly to Be Engaged in Serious Discourse?
Isn't it time to relegate the Catholic Church to the same peripheral status we give to Flat-Earthers and right-wing militias and neo-Nazi skinheads.

Yes, isn't it.

How to Quit Wasting Time and Start Making the Most of Your Day
A little lesson in time efficiency.

On that note.

I have distinct memories of LOTS of people around me going to bat for these when they first came out (particularly I, but also III) but 10 minutes into Phantom Menace I basically became a completely unforgiving asshole about Lucas and his general horribleness and had a lot of arguments with various apologists.
