In the Phantom Menace, it's stated that Anakin had no father. The subject is then dropped... until Revenge of the Sith, in which Palpatine tells Anakin that he knew of a Sith lord who could manipulate the midichlorians to the point where he could create life. We're supposed to make the leap that this is how Anakin was conceived. WordWolf had come up with an alternate theory before this movie came out.

Let's find five independent people to prove your case. Oh, darn, you can't find five people who've seen Traxx, can you?

Predator 2 made $30 million at the box office in 1990. The box office receipts for Traxx? Oh, that's right, not a single person in the history of movies paid for a ticket to see Traxx.

Everyone here, raise your hand if you saw Predator 2. Ok, now, everyone here, raise your hands if you have ever seen Shadoe Stevens outside of Hollywood Squares. Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Frye?

I was recently corrected about the mistake of Obi Wan calling him the Emperor. The moment before he does that, he sees a hologram of Palpatine telling Vader to bring peace to the Empire. Considering that the Jedi have become suspicious of Palpatine by that point, it isn't as much of a stretch as it originally seemed to call him "Emperor." I missed Mon Mothma. I thought the duel between Grievous and Obi Wan was supposed to look awesome but, in the end, just looked silly. What saved it was McGregor clearly having a field day. The whirring lightsabers didn't impress me. I thought it just looked stupid. But hey, that's me.

"And that scares the sh-- out of me, kid. No one requests to come down here unless they're looking for a reputation and there's no room for showboats or anyone looking to prove himself. Now, I won't stand for it. Now don't get me wrong, we need good cops down here and they say you're good at what you do. But the team comes first. You live by that and you'll be okay, and we'll all be there for you. Remember, the door swings both ways. That's it."

I sat there and thought: whoever said this had to be really dumb. Hey! Okay, next clue: "Hey, kid. Welcome to the war."

Mystic River I'll come up with another one...

I think you meant "burp." It's easy to confuse the two.

Dumb and Dumber?

Closer Natalie Portman The Professional (aka Leon)

See this movie Don't mistake it for a cheesy stupid 1990s movie with the same title. This one is in theaters now, and deserves every dime it can make. It's directed by the guy who wrote Million Dollar Baby.

Indeed. I thought I'd pick some of the better but lesser known quotes from that brilliant movie.

Extra clue: They don't have meetings about rainbows.

Chill Wills? What was he in, Traxx?

The two posts mean: sharon knows the movie but is holding back because she wants other people to have fun (the same way I did when I told her to give a clue people can't refuse). I'm just saying, pthpthpthpthpthpthpth! to her. :)--> The question remains open.

Potential terrorists weren't the only ones shocked at the pictures of Saddam Hussein in his underwear.

I don't know about being "against Jews" per se, but the fact that he had Jewish friends and converts says almost nothing. After all, one of the biggest defenses against racism is, "But some of my best friends are..." I think promoting and misquoting the Thirteenth Tribe and the Myth of th Six Million says a lot more than walking around in your shorts with a shrink.

:P-->

Mason is not in the 1976 version. So you're right. We're at the 1954 version of A Star is Born

No question: the acting is dreadful. Heroes on both sides make sense: remember, there are villains on both sides, too. The person at the top of each chain of command is the same guy, so there may well be heroes on the Separatist side somewhere who look at Palpatine as a power hungry brute bent on ruling the galaxy, and they'd be right. What they wouldn't know is Palpatine is the head of their side as well. After the movie, any place where the Separatists still had a stronghold would probably be a good staging ground for the later rebellion.

Tom is correct. We leave off at the 1976 version of A Star is Born.

Traxx. Sweet Jesus. I thought you meant the other Italian restaurant where I asked you to marry me.
