Red Letter Media's Review of Revenge of the Sith
Okay this is kinda old but I happened to watch it again last weekend while trying to explain to Mrs. Maetenloch just how awful the Star Wars prequels were and why. (Lucky for me she indulges my little rants and feigns interest remarkably well)
Actually of all the reviews this might be the most insightful and educational one - as well as the most poignant when Plinkett considers what might have been. Here he analyzes RotS and the entire story arc in the movies and points out where they went wrong (and right). He even gives Lucas credit for avoiding some of the more tempting mistakes.
Some of the more interesting points from the review for the ADD types: The huge fundamental logic gaps in the story that got worse as the series progressed, the fact that Anakin becoming Darth Vader just isn't all that interesting, how using blue screen in every scene ultimately makes it static and boring. Also the parallels of Anakin's story and Citizen Kane (and Lucas and Charles Foster Kane) were something new to me (must have taken a bathroom break during the original viewing.)
It's particularly telling when he shows similar scenes from the original Star Wars and the prequels - in nearly every aspect except for special effects the original is better. And even the new special effects aren't necessarily an improvement: At one point Plinkett replaces the movie with a scene from a Star Wars video game and the sad part is that you don't even notice for a while. It's all just one giant video game with the about same emotional impact as a gaming session.
Guns Drove Nazis To Kill Says Tony Bennett
At least I think that's what he was getting at. But his comments at a Mayors Against Illegal Guns rally this week were such a hot mess of stupidity that who knows what he really meant - other than guns are bad, bad, bad.
"My own children were just told don't ever have a gun, no guns in my house, they're not allowed." "[Guns] shouldn't be on our streets here,"
"It's the kind of turn that happened to the great country of Germany, when Nazis came over and created tragic things, and they had to be told off. And if we continue this kind of violence and accept it in our country, the rest of the world's going to really take care of us, in a very bad way."
The Pension Fund That Ate California
After spending years dogged by unpaid debts, California labor leader Charles Valdes filed for bankruptcy in the 1990s-twice. At the same time, he held one of the most influential positions in the American financial system: chair of the investment committee for the California Public Employees' Retirement System, or CalPERS, the nation's largest pension fund for government workers. Valdes left the board in 2010 and now faces scrutiny for accepting gifts from another former board member, Alfred Villalobos-who, the state alleges, spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to influence how the fund invested its assets. Questioned by investigators about his dealings with Villalobos, Valdes invoked the Fifth Amendment 126 times.
This is a cautionary tale on how CalPERS, the CA state pension fund, metastasized from a boring but well-run holding account into a giant black hole of debt and obligation that threatens to push many California cities and even the state itself into bankruptcy.
And how badly was it run? This bad:
Another reason not to buy CalPERS's stock-market excuse is that its losses have been far worse than they should have been, thanks to a number of overly risky investment practices. Wilshire Consulting reported last year that CalPERS's returns over the past five years have trailed those of 99 percent of large public pension funds.
In a just world everyone who was in charge of CalPERS over the last 15 years would be in prison. But that ain't the world we live in.
What Sequestration Will Really Mean
A leaked set slides to be presented by the Army to the White House on the impact of sequestration has appeared and includes the following:
- Only deploying units in Afghanistan, Korea and the division ready brigade will be allowed to conduct readiness training. All other units will conduct collective small unit training in first part of fiscal 2014. That means 78 percent of non-deploying brigade combat teams will be ill-prepared for future contingency operations. - Interrupts timeline for pulling vehicles and equipment out of Afghanistan and delays reset of $20 billion in post war equipment needed for future operations. - No new depot maintenance orders issued beyond January. This could affect units in Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, New York and North Carolina and delay the repair and reset of 1,300 tactical vehicles, 14,000 radios and 17,000 weapons. - 250,000 Army civilians would be furloughed for up to 22 days. - 5,000 contract, temporary and term employees would be released
Now the military budget does have a good deal of cruft and waste built into it but this is not the way to make cuts without seriously hurting our capabilities. But until people actually experience some kind of impact from our limited budget they will keep voting for big government and low taxes.
Following the Left's Example on Guns: Personalize, Personalize, Personalize
You're sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door. Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers. At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way.With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your bed and pick up your shotgun. You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it.
In the darkness, you make out two shadows. One holds something that looks like a crowbar. When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike, you raise the shotgun and fire.The blast knocks both thugs to the floor. One writhes and screams while the second man crawls to the front door and lurches outside.
As you pick up the telephone to call police, you know you're in trouble. In your country, most guns were outlawed years before, and the few that are privately owned are so stringently regulated as to make them useless. Yours was never registered.
Police arrive and inform you that the second burglar has died. They arrest you for First Degree Murder and Illegal Possession of a Firearm.
When you talk to your attorney, he tells you not to worry: authorities will probably plea the case down to manslaughter.
"What kind of sentence will I get?" you ask.
"Only ten-to-twelve years," he replies, as if that's nothing. "Behave yourself, and you'll be out in seven."
Sound crazy? Well it actually happened. And if we want to fight back against the Left's anti-gun narrative, our arguments need to be personalized as well.

Original James Bond Astin-Martin DB5 For Sale
And it actually seems pretty cheap at just $5 million given the history and features.
This Aston Martin DB5 may not have a 3D GPS system or a remote-controlled driving app, but this is the original high-tech automobile. One of four Aston Martins used in the James Bond films and one of only two that received gadget upgrates from Q-Branch, this DB5 features oil slicks, rotating license plates, front-mounted machine guns, a bullet-proof rear window, and a place in movie history.
The 1965 Aston Martin DB5, complete with 13 working James Bond gadgets and built to help promote the film franchise is being sold by UK Aston Martin specialists RS Williams, and perhaps, unsurprisingly, the firm has already been inundated with enquires from around the world.
Well you can worship the sun, and pray to Joes Pesci but if you want to get your kookoo message out to the world you mail it to Anderson Cooper.

Speaking of Star Wars we are all aware that Disney wants to do individual spin off films, right?
They want to start with two and three characters up for consideration are Yoda, Han Solo and Boba Fett.
I can *kinda* see a Han Solo Versus Boba Fett movie, but I can't really see them in seperate features. And Yoda...no, sorry, wouldn't work.
I think they should dip into the Expanded Universe and do Mara Jade. That would be cool.

Adapting the X-wing novels would be good. Not even necessarily directly, just use Wedge Antilles and Rogue/Wraith Squadron. You could scrap the rest if you follow the general theme of the novels. Fighter Squadron/Commando Unit.

That sounds gross, but... I'm in desperate need of cocktail recommendations for when I get tired of beer and wine. For Vegas, etc. Next month. I always have this problem. Have tried gin and tonic, salty dog, vodka cran, vodka soda, dirty martini, etc. Nothing is perfect. As you can tell, I am fond of non-sweet, with clear liquors. NO BROWN liquor! Issues from long ago.

The first is about the history of wildfire, while the second is on the Night Watch and the Free Men or whatever they're called. The later doc is narrated by the actress that plays Ygritte and -- umm dat voice.

It's kind of obligatory. The Avengers movie set up Thanos as a future villain. But Thanos was created specifically as a Darkseid knockoff because Marvel was pissed at Kirby for going off to DC to do his Fourth World mess.

Thanos in The Avengers *2*, yes. It's all well and good for the sequel and there is going to be story-lines set up and so on. Same goes for the first Avengers, all the characters were well established so an alien invasion story isn't unwarranted. Make the threat large enough for a group of larger than life characters.
WB wants to do what Marvel did but in reverse, in which case they need to do a story that's much more down to earth. The villains should be...Legion Of Doom-esque.

Don't even waste time with a Justice League movie. You want that make it a "sequel." And here's what you do first.
Batman/Superman. No extra superheroes. That is what people actually want to see. It also doesn't require you to do additional plot building for other heroes. They are fully known quantities, and you can essentially have them in their own universe separate from individual movies. Give them an opponent requiring them to work together, and at the end have it revealed that even if they won a bigger threat is on the horizon requiring a bigger group than just those two.
And that is essentially exactly what Bruce Timm did with the animated universe. Batman, then Superman, then combine them together some, and then move onto the Justice League. And that formula is pretty much the reason Warner Bros. is pumping out two animated movies a year.

I'd expect that the opening storyline of the New 52 relaunch is the template they're using. The idea being that the audience knows who almost all of these characters are, more or less. The only character given an origin was Cyborg, as he is also the only one who didn't have his own book relaunching that same month. Leaving him out of a movie would simplify things, although kids are familiar with a version of the character from the animated Teen Titans series.
Anyway, that storyline used Darkseid as the big bad sufficient to draw all of these very different characters together. It was done in such a way that they didn't realize they'd gotten lucky and Darkseid would be a far greater threat if chose to make a more concerted effort in the future. The Earth 2 and Worlds Finest titles show that the world next door paid a much higher price in driving off Darkseid.
In any case, they have no choice but to rely on audience familiarity with the characters, since they don't have time to do a bunch of movies as Marvel had already done when the decision to do the Avengers solidified. Darkseid is a fairly well known character beyond comics and would be a lot less work than a rogue's gallery assemblage of the heroes leading foes. Besides, has Lex Luthor and the Joker working together ever been a believable pairing?

Some cop wrote "Fman" on the bottom of the magazine (which is decoratively edged with electrical tape) with a sharpie. It adds to the character!

Deval thinks he can order all cars off the road by noon tomorrow. There is a large snow storm headed here. It's all they have talked about a lll week.
Mark Levin confirmed what I posted on an older thread late this afternoon, the TFG went to sleep, and neither Hillary of TFT were told about what was going on in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.
The death of three American Citizens is on their hands. Do I have to ask the obvious, what would the media do if that happened less than two months before a presidential elections when the incumbent had an R after their name?
It pisses me off!
SCOAMF must be impeached, he's done too many things without the authority of the Constitution. Add the four dead American citizens from Libya, two from Fast & Furious, it could be more but I can only think of two right now and he'd be out of a job if we had a media that investigated!!

It's not really serious -- the doc's been raising alarms about my sugar, so I lost 35 pounds. He asked, "how?", and I responded "by cutting carbs" -- while the real answer is much more complex. Doctor goes, "Atkins" [which the medical establishment has been hoping to discredit since his book was published.] and thinks to check liver function to show that it's too dangerous for me to do anything but graze and chew cud.

The use of racial divisiveness has long been a hallmark of the Progressive Left. The stoking of racial hatred and ignorance at universities by peddling “critical race theory” or other such grievance studies and attempts to push “multiculturalism” has grown more explicit over time, and is perhaps approaching a crescendo. These “studies” often involve how “anglo-normative” values or “White privilege” oppresses non-White “persons of color” and can lead to White people being oppressed by their own whiteness! The proffered solution to these problems is to destroy “Whiteness” (or alternatively, “kyriarchy“), so that it may be replaced by some vision of utopia. We have now reached the point where that proffered solution is being put into effect: A mass shooter confessed he learned to hate white people in college.

Good to hear that. I haven't been up to the Fort or the Poudre for a few years, at least two years before the fire. Is it pretty bad, as far as all those charred trees and houses choking the river with silt and ash? I clearly recall how much the Hayman fire messed up the South Platte.

So, the only upside to being sick...meds. The PA (who I will note was
both hot and flirty) suggested gargling with and then swallowing
Children's Benadryl. Helps soothe the irritation from strep throat.
So, I swear up and down I heard her say "Two ounces". The wife says
that's insane. Especially since the big bottle is only 8 oz. First dose I
take a huge swig, gargle, down the hatch. 30 minutes later I'm slurring
my words and damn near comatose. Wife asks what I did, I tell, the
yelling commences.

After 20 years of marriage I can tell you what mistakes you made.
1. You did what a woman told you to do.
2. You didn't do what a woman thought she was telling you to do.
Once you understand that, you then need to forget it because it will change the next day.

To recapitulate, I just turned 50, I'm fat, I've spent 25 years as a CPA while my blood pressure was elevated (when I graduated college, it was more like "blood seep" -- 95/60). I'm thankful for my relations that had gout as teetotalers....'cause it made it abundantly clear that I should take the damned pill and ignore the recommended lifestyle changes. And, now that the doc has decided to worry about liver function because I'm reducing carbs instead of calories, I thought I'd play "nice" for a few days before the blood draw and see how much "permanent" damage was being done (if you get a blood draw during a hangover, don't be surprised if it says you're an alcoholic on the road to ruin).
To a certain extent, you want to have a doctor that's going to challenge you -- critique your lifestyle for harmful behaviors. But, on another FUNDAMENTAL level, you want one that doesn't just bitch at you, but rather works for you to enhance your life.

What are winters up there like? I really think it would be oddball-beautiful to go up to the boundary waters area in the dead of winter for about two weeks. Probably be the only time in my life where I would be - or could get- more than 20 miles away from the nearest human. I was absolutely fascinated by the story bandied about recently examining the Russian family living independently far away in the taiga, cut off from all contact for at least 40 years. Archaeological gold, but not long after the modern world got to them, they up and died.

I went through a bit of crap to get the doctor I have. My previous doc was wildly incompetent and this one was well-recommended. And, I've got to say, he's not stupid.
But when I checked in with him before Obamacare passed, he said, "well, something must be done" -- and when I insisted on every test possible because I turned 50 before Obamacare cut everything, he seemed unconcerned.
I think he'd make a great concierge doc.

Don't know if it's just an urban myth, but I've heard stories of muskies (big, badass cousin of northerns) taking off toes of people swishing their feet in the water at a boat dock. They munch down ducklings like fat people munch down dim sum.

Squadron/Commando Unit.
Posted by: buzzion at February 07, 2013 10:36 PM (GULKT)
Never mind Rogue Squadron, go with Wraith Squadron. "Pretty. What do we blow up first?" You could have the funniest Star Wars movie yet, and not in a unintentional way (as in Holiday Special). Plenty of good characters, plenty of action, plenty of humor, and plenty of X-Wing space combat action.
On the other hand, I personally would prefer to see Ysanne Isard be the main antagonist rather than Warlord Zsinj or Admiral Trigit. She went up against Rogue Squadron much more than Wraith. And a big-screen adaptation of the Lusankya's escape from Coruscant could be fun to see. There's also more Jedi presence in Rogue, and the idea of making a Star Wars film without having any main characters wield lightsabers in it might scare off producers.

He's the most rational actor in the story. People can understand a guy who snaps and goes on a comic-book righteous-vengeance binge. They don't want to, necessarily, but--his antagonists are wildly lashing out at completely innocent people. They're dangerous to us. He's not. He has a list and we're not on it.
Most people, in order to buy into a story, have to identify with somebody in it. He's the least bad guy in this show.
