How can you discount the shirtless scenes? What sort of film connoisseur are you?
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

A het-male one.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Reign of Fire. Pretty much the only redeeming scene in the movie.
I think the best part of the scene is when the kids ask, "Did you make that up?" and the lead guy cheerfully says yes.
And the meta point? They probably didn't have to pay a penny of royalty to Lucas, because they abstracted it just enough back to vague mythology to be "original," while leaving it recognizable to the (outside-the-movie) viewer.

Though I was amused the wooden sticks they used for swords were painted red and blue.

I'm sure the free publicity did nothing to sway George to letting it go. Plus, the man's always seen himself as a myth-maker, so I doubt he's too annoyed at seeing his story being represented as iconic.

As a het female, I can sure appreciate the value in shirtless lady scenes. It's a thing.

Well, has Kevin Smith had to pay any royalties for the numerous Star Wars references in his movies? At what point does something cease being derivative and becomes simply a part of culture?

Different aesthetics, I suppose. For me male shirtlessness is neither a positive or a negative, it's just there.

Alias was good. But, sarameg, I don't find it as insubstantially plotted and eyerolly as you. Cause really? I'm just in it for the pretty. And this week. Lots of great dialoge.
MEEP! Today was due day for the applications to go to England and Ireland for my students. Already, I have 12 students signed up and I still have to see the other class! What's exciting is the thought of taking kids to see really cool stuff, esp. since so few of them have opportunities to explore life outside their ghetto. But I'm sort of in awe of how difficult it will be to do fundraising.
Gulp.
