The original cast actually had the benefit of an abrasive and humorous personal chemistry, mostly because they were loving off-set.


Everything since is the film version of Viagra-dick: inflated, groggy, hollow, and extremely self-conscious.

This is like that 40-Year Old Virgin "bags of sand" description of breasts but for erect penises instead.

Although you might be onto something with "groggy" if you mean there's bags under its eye.

Star Wars has grossly and painfully overstayed its welcome in our lives, just like a pill-induced priapism. Any prior sense of 70s lite sci-fi virility has been incrementally replaced by a quavering, diluted commodity of tired fleshbag apparatuses pleading helplessly for the merciful dispensation of cultural castration. :one:

All the new stars wars movies could have been a 5 hour loop gender reassessment surgery videos recorded on VHS-C during a Butthole Surfers concert, and they'd still be great because of how frothing mad they make the stars wars "purists". Like, I grew up on the films and I hold the originals in high regard too, but like most people I eventually I came to realize that they're movies for children that are being made to sell toys and video games, and if you think it goes any deeper than that you should probably stick to writing your own fan fiction and pretending that's the new canon.

there was a hinge sort of in the shape of a pelvis where the GI Joe's dong should be and if it broke you... probably had a legless GI Joe for a while?

Their legs were attached by an elastic so they remained.

Until the rubber band holding the legs to their torso wore out and you just had a torso with a hook coming out of it and no thumbs and bite marks from your dog.

So he transforms into Sam Worthington, then? The Clash of the Titans remake has the unique distinction among movies of having an action figure that was more realistic than the star.

What's amazing about this trailer isn't that it gives away the plot--it's that it's so poorly paced and edited that it feels like I just wasted two hours.

If you get lulled into seeing his movies, his head snaps open and fires venomous darts at you.

Always shake out your boots in the morning to make sure there's not an Avatar DVD in it.
