Goaz first met David Lynch while driving him to a memorial tribute to Roy Orbison where Lynch decided to cast him for the role of Deputy Andy Brennan in the TV series Twin Peaks.[4]

I just finished watching it and I got the same impression. The movie being very nice to Hindenburg and making him like possibly the only really sympathetic character in the movie? Giving no background to why the french officers acted the way they did. Also the random name drop of Bolshevism there too.

The creator is long dead, the rising tide of fascism doesn't have to ban his works anymore they just mangel it to completely destroy the point. Whose gonna correct you?

Neither of them have gently caress all to do with the stories they're based on. It's ridiculous.

Semper Shitpost Ubique

Someone mentioned defence procurement in Star Wars. It's cannon that the X-Wing is the result of political manoeuvring by contractors:

"The new starfighter was intended to become the backbone of the Imperial Navy, but political forces led to the Galactic Empire deciding to rely on Sienar Fleet Systems' more affordable TIE line. The Alliance to Restore the Republic then adopted the X-wing design as its own."

It never made much sense how the rebels were able to procure and manufacture this sort of thing in secret, but if I remember the origins of a lot of the iconic Star Wars stuff is "the genius hero spaceship designer took his design to the rebels after his corporate rivals secured a deal with the Empire". Like if Northrop took their designs to the Soviets when the Pentagon went with Lockheed or something like that.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Yeah plus a lot of surplus and retrofits- Nebulon frigates and Y-Wings are modernized Clone Wars ships and at least in old canon Mon Cal cruisers are basically civilian ships with guns attached. Basically what I'm saying is I would absolutely watch Pentagon Star Wars

The Star Wars EU says Tie Fighters are cheaper and weaker than X-Wings, but I'm not sure that really matches up to the films. The main X-Wing pilot in the OT we see is a mutant with special abilities which throws off any comparison as well.

Well also in a game context they're either evenly matched or generic monks depending on what kind of game. I think they're supposed to be sort of like the Zero (if it was used by the side with industrial superiority)- cheap, lightly armored, and agile

quote:

Pat Riley is a chubby, whiny, and obnoxious job-hopper of indeterminate gender who is searching for a steady foundation in life. Pat falls in love with Chris (whose sex is also unrevealed to the audience) and the two get engaged. Meanwhile, Pat's neighbor Kyle develops an unhealthy obsession with identifying Pat's sex, and begins stalking them. He sends a tape of Pat performing karaoke to a TV show called America's Creepiest People, bringing them to the attention of the band Ween, who feature Pat in one of their performances, playing the tuba. When Pat learns that Ween intended to only use them for one gig, Pat and Chris break up.

Kyle steals Pat's laptop containing their diary and tries to coerce them into revealing the computer's password, so he can access the files. When Pat only answers that it's a word in the dictionary, Kyle begins manually trying every word in a dictionary. He eventually succeeds with the password "zythum" (an Egyptian malt beer), and reads the diary, but doesn't find the answer to his question, and finally snaps.

Meanwhile, a gang of thugs with the same goal begin harassing Pat, who becomes distraught over the thugs' androgynous nature. Pat complains to Kathy, a friend who is a therapist and host of a radio talk show. When Pat gives acerbic reactions to call-in listeners, the station fires Kathy and replaces her with Pat.

Kyle calls into Pat's radio show saying he has Pat's laptop, and sets up a meeting at the Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum to retrieve it. Pat arrives to find Kyle dressed exactly like Pat. Kyle demands that Pat strip naked, but Pat runs off into a Ween concert. After Kyle corners them on a catwalk, Pat falls. Their pants get torn off by a hook and they are lowered with their genitals exposed to the cheering concert audience, but not to Kyle nor those watching the movie. Kyle is subsequently taken away by security guards. Pat then runs to see Chris, just as Chris is leaving on an ocean liner. In an epilogue, Pat and Chris marry.

During the end credits, Kathy is now hosting her radio show again and the first caller is Kyle, whose obsession with Pat has driven him to cross-dressing.

Ween? Weird jokes about cross-dressing? Julia Sweeney? This sounds like the most 90s thing ever.

Kyle goes on to have a writing career examining gender and is published by the New York Times, the Atlantic, and Harper's. He's on a podcast with Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal, and is well known for his defense of J.K. Rowling.

IIRC one of the things that make them cheaper is that they don’t have hyperdrives like X-wings do so if they get stranded in deep space away from a star destroyer lmao

X-Wing VS Tie Fighter makes it pretty clear that the Tie Fighter sucks poo poo and only the Tie Interceptor is comparable to the X-Wing.

Edit: Also maybe Rogue Squadron.

Guy who read a bunch of EU books as a kid jumping in to confirm that in addition to the hyperdrive, X-Wings have proton torpedoes (the things Luke used to blow up the death star) and shields and twice as many lasers as TIE fighters do

The point of TIE fighters thematically is to emphasize that like stormtroopers Imperial pilots are expendable and the only way they win fights is by there being a lot of them

rogue one establishing that hyperdrive speed from anywhere to anywhere is a couple minutes max really raises the question of what is even the point of capital ships.

But that’s way down on the list of questions raised by nu Star Wars. up top is: why does any of this star warring matter at all if even under the ‘good guys’ pre and post empire the median galactic citizen is a slave miner on the arid planet of Fuckshit IV. prequels on are deep in the end of history mindset where material conditions are unchangable, all that matters is how nice and polite the ruling class is.

Even the interceptor doesn't have shields or missile launchers.

It's funny how the exact opposite is actually true in real life. The big evil empire is usually the one with baroque, expensive junk wagons.
