I saw Star Wars as a reward for teaching a summer school ESL class for one of my advisors in high school. 3 months of work seemed like an ample trade off.
At the risk of ubercheese, it literally changed my life.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Alan Dean Foster was the ghostwriter of the original Star Wars novelization.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, he also did the books of the Star Trek animated series. I knew I had read something by him besides the Star Wars novel....

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
And the ALIEN novelization. It was definitely a gig for him.

Slave Leia costume
For your dog.
omg. I would SO get that if it weren't for the fact that Bartleby acts like I'm killing him (much civil disobedience ensues) when I try to put his polar fleece on when the temp is below 20. Also? He's had enough gender issues since...ya know...snip.

I remember fondly the Pip and Flynx books. I stumbled across the Tar-Aiym Krang (the book that is, not the Krang itself) in the checkout of a DIY in Edinburgh. I haven't looked at the books in over twenty years, but I enjoyed them at the time.

Oh yeah. Read that one too. Also before I ever saw the movie (my dad wouldn't let me see it when it came out).
