Has anyone ever made a comprehensive documentary about Star Wars parodies? I'd like to watch something like that. Anyways, the greatest Star Wars parody of them all is Troops (1997). youtu.be/5HO70-Rk3jE

“Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “Edward the Confessor’s dead?” “Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “What about Harald Hardrada?” “He’s dead, Dave. Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “Not King Harold?” “Yes, Dave. King Harold’s dead, Dave. Everybody is dead, Dave.”

A post from BBC Lincolnshire with the headline “Digital reconstruction reveals Norman Conquest man’s face”. The digital reconstruction is an older, balding man’s face against a black background, and looks not unlike Norman Lovett playing Holly in Red Dwarf.

That's a medium-sized cruise ship by modern standards. Icon of the Seas is 40.5% larger by GT.

If the wearer has actually worked while wearing it, a chore coats look fine. Case in point, the three sailors in chore coats in this group photo from like 1905.

I'd literally never heard of this movie before now.

He's a VP contender for sure. Shift the tone of the primary + secure Georgia in the general election.

I've leaned towards Pritzker for a long time, but Ossoff is starting to make an impression on me.

Sadly, I think the franchise needs another break. I think Star Trek will be in hiatus for 10 to 15 years.

YES I keep thinking about Digger. I know it’s not cool to love Digger, but you’ll all catch up in about 3 years and wish you had seen it in theaters WHICH YOU STILL CAN.

For the public, it was the worst marketing of a movie since Master and Commander. And the last movie critics so obviously misunderstood was Starship Troopers.

The movie is about how and why the climate disaster is portrayed in art and who gets to make those decisions. "Should we make light of this administration?" is a question the movie itself asks.

It infuriates me that Brooks receives a portion of my monthly PBS/NPR donation.

I watched #Digger today. The satire is about far more than climate change. The trailers couldn't do this movie justice. #Digger will make bank during awards season. Tom Cruise and John Goodman will be nominated for Oscars for sure. Go see this movie.
