Top three bUGLY questions about science fiction movies.
1) Did Chewbacca shed? I don’t remember seeing a bunch of wookee hair all over the Millennium Falcon. I would guess that Han wouldn’t have taken kindly to wookee hair in the cockpit. Definitely coulda affected the Falcon’s resale value.
2) What’s the deal with everyone wearing the same thing in science fiction movies? There are a few exceptions, but for the most part it looks like everyone bought their clothes at the same place. And, most the time they are wearing the same outfit for the entire movie, even if the story takes place over several days, months, or years. I have a million galactic credit idea (million cubits idea for you Battlestar Galactica folks). Somebody should have opened a Gap or a Banana Republic, or even a J. Crew on Coruscant, Rigel VII, or Osiris. Forget running spice illegally all over the ‘dad blame’ galaxy. With Hans charisma and ability to look cool wearing leather pants (blackasylum.net’s opinion, not mine), he could have made a killing managing Ambercrombie and Fitch stores. You know Lando would have cut him a deal on some prime commerical realestate on Cloud City. How many ladies would be pining for Lobot’s affections if he had a nice weathered zipper hoodie to cover his cranium jewelry when not on the job. Talk about a confidence builder.
3) What ever happened to Pizza? Honestly, I can’t go a month without eating pizza, seeing a pizza box sticking out of a garbage can at one of my buddies houses, or receiving a pizza coupon in the mail. So, I ask you, where has all the pizza gone in the future (if Star Wars, Star Trek, Logans Run, etc.. are the future). Hell, what ever happened to Italian, Mexican, or even German food? The camera’s needed to follow Count Doku around a little more. Judging by his girth, he had access to some Italian food.
Top three bUGLY songs of the week.
1) Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones. I’ll be honest, the freakin promo commericial for the “Departed” DVD release has this song playing in the background and that’s what got me to buy it (stupid ear worm). I like to listen to this song while driving to the store to pick up similac and diapers. That’s is the way in which I roll.
2) Kings Crossing - Elliot Smith. Good stuff. His death was a terrible loss. Why is it that we have lost artists like Smith, Jeff Buckley, and Kurt Cobain, but Sebastian Bach is still cutting records?
3) Storm Coming - Gnarls Barkley. I liked Crazy enough to get the album, but this is becoming my favorite song on St. Elsewhere. Right before I get my Pong (as in ping, biznatches) on, I like to fire up a little Storm Coming.
That’s it for this week.
