My dad would've cried about the accents. Don't know how global an issue that is.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

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

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Why did your dad cry? What am I not remembering about that movie?
Um, not that I would be anything like this, but maybe he's the kind who tears up at moments of extreme grace (physical/mental/whatever) during sporting events and/or movies?
Yes, I get a lump in my throat when I hear the Olympic anthem. Yes, I tear up when I see the torch go by, even if it's just on TV. Yes, I bawled at Hoosiers, among other movies. Yes, I am a dork.

Thrive to spite them
I just read that George Lucas will be releasing the original theaterical releases of Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi on dvd. I'm sure it will be wildly overpriced but I'll buy it.

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.
The changes to Empire and Jedi didn't really bother me. I'm all for a Han shoots first, damn it, version of A New Hope, though.

Always Anti-fascist!
Damn it. Now I'm picturing Han as Mike Kellerman. "You have the right to remain sile..BANG!" Sometimes I hate my brain. Mostly because it is now insisting there is no way Greedo dealt Mahoney-level weight. In my defense, it's very early here.

Can other people send to gmail fine? It may be a local to my mailserver issue.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmm. Tried just now upon reading your post, and no immediate bounce. Yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You guys are in the wrong thread, right? It's not just me, despite it being that kind of a day.

It's been that sort of a day for me.
