Comic & Geeky
This remains one of my favourites from the old Ed Locke's Grandpa Show strip, which might explain why I haven't had a date in years. This one was sort of inspired by a picture of Jerry Lewis I saw in a tabloid. Even though he was swollen to bursting because of a thyroid condition, in the photo he was in a tux and still on stage performing his schtick ...
Moving on ...
I was surfing some sites this weekend and I have a few opinions on some upcoming flicks. The opinions are legally binding. Don't cross me.
THE GOOD
I think the casting of Martin Freeman from The Office as Arthur Dent in the Hitchhiker's Guide movie is an inspired decision and sort of hints that the movie might have a slim chance of not completely being a pile of slop. I always identified with Arthur Dent and identified with Tim in The Office series, which might explain why I haven't had a date in years ...
THE BAD
Any second now we're supposed to hear that the Red Dwarf movie is moving forward after a bunch of delays. I still think that bringing Kochanski back from the dead was a bad idea and her character is a party pooper. And she's going to be in the movie, still played by Chloe Annette. See, that character takes the edge off because she both brings and removes "hope" to and from the situation: Lister is no longer the last person alive and so his purgatory is no longer a purgatory. On the other hand, pining for Kochanski showed that Lister longed for a better life than what he was stuck with. When she shows up it takes away one of the qualities that made Lister interesting. Including the Kochanski character is a fundamental flaw, which may explain why I haven't dated Chloe Annett.
THE UGLY
The title and logo for the final Star Wars flick, Revenge of the Sith, was unveiled and suddenly George Lucas' master plan is revealed! The logos and titles of Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi are very similar, so the prequel series, in essence, reflects the first series!
Consider this then, the original trilogy contains two films that are good (New Hope, Empire) and one that's an idiotic buffet table of crap. Now, the two prequels we've seen are probably two of the worst movies ever filmed, so if the trilogies reflect one another, it means that Sith is going to be good. Right, right, right?
Here's the math:
A New Hope (good) = Phantom Menace (bad)
Empire (best) = Clones (crud)
Jedi (waste) = Sith (groovilicious???)
What makes this theory really cool is that the second films of both trilogies are the best (Empire) and the worst (Clones). See? It brings balance to the Force!
But let's face it, it's more likely that Lucas is just completely insane.
