You're thinking of Ziggy. You probably have one of the books of his comic strips. Sounds like Ziggyisms: Notable Quotes of Wisdom for Everyday Living or maybe The Zen Of Ziggy. I'm not really a fan, myself. It's too preachy for me.

What I find interesting about that scene is that Anakin recognizes C-3PO right away. I guess that's what's helping to fuel the "Why doesn't Vader recognize him?" questions. But, what I find funny is that 3PO and R2 are still in service. They have to be about 40 years old. R2 is still...

Well, it's all based on the same thing. :) Actually, Last Man Standing uses several characters from the original novel, even though they changed them in some strange ways. For example, Christopher Walken's character was Max "Whisper" Thaler, except that wasn't his name. In the film, he was...

And Yojimbo was an uncredited rip-off of Dashiell Hammett's novel Red Harvest. Bruce Willis later remade it as Last Man Standing. However, aside from getting the period correct, it had even less to do with the novel than Yojimbo. I don't think it's really fair to mention remakes of films that...

I don't mind the fact that he jumped over Obi-Wan's head and got cut. What I hate is that they had to bring the movie to a screeching halt in order to explain what was about to happen.

Yeah, but what you're describing is propaganda. It's preaching to the converted. I don't think it's a reflection of our current culture since such things have been around since the beginning of film (and in print before that). In other words, they aren't being sanitized so as not to offend...

What about American Werewolf In Paris? And Grease 2? And wasn't there a Dirty Dancing sequel a few years ago that got ripped apart by the critics? I haven't seen any of these movies, but I've heard they were bad. And how could I forget King Kong Lives, Son Of Kong, Escape From LA (basically...

Well, if you're looking for historical facts, I wouldn't suggest watching a movie for them. ;) For the most part, I agree with you. However, there are rare cases where I actually like the theatrical cut better. For example, Aliens VS Predator. Or the original Star Wars trilogy instead of...

Me, too. :)

Oh, dear God, yes. Horrible, horrible movie. If you can only pick one, that's the one I'd go with. I'd also add Robocop 2 (3 doesn't count since he's looking for immediate sequels), Chronicles of Riddick, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and Howling 2: Your Sister Is A Werewolf. Ah, hell, I'll...

I seem to remember that, too. Perhaps they just weren't powerful enough in RotS to knock off the droids without shattering the glass? Don't forget that, while Anakin was very powerful in RotS, you can add another 20+ years by the time he did that in the OT. Apparently, no one was able to...

One critic described the film as good, but not good with a capital "G". That was my feeling, too. It was much better than AotC, and much, much, much better than TPM. However, it still had some major problems, namely the writing. I agree, the dialogue was terrible. One bit that really...

Sometimes the wrong versions of films end up on DVD. For example, A&E had to recall the first Season One set of Nero Wolfe because they accidentally used episodes that were cut for later broadcasts. The cuts were a few seconds here and there in order to make room for more commercials...

The only "real to CG" complaint I had was when Dooku jumped over the rail and the beginning. When he landed, it was so obviously CG. His head looked kind of odd, like a video game character.

While were on the AS subject, does anyone know what the heck happened to Yu-Yu Hakusho? Are they planning on finishing the series?

Yeah, I'm not a fan of "serious anime/goofy expressions" either. That's one of the things that bugged me about Rurouni Kenshin (sp?). I don't think that applies so much to One Piece since its a comedy (and I actually really like that show, too). :) Samurai Champloo did remind me of Ninja...

Thanks!

I've said on these boards that I don't get UPN, but that I really wanted to see the series. After reading this thread, I don't want to anymore. :( BTW, wasn't Enterprise supposed to answer the Klingon forehead question? Did they?

Remember when Spike tried to do their own animated series? They had Stripperella, Gary The Rat, and Ren & Stimpy. Stripperella was pretty good, but Gary The Rat was surprisingly cheap (limited, Aqua Teen Hunger Force animation) considering Kelsey Grammer was a producer. And then there was Ren...
