Lots to cover today...
First of all, praise to be God, Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, trees, rocks, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan, it's football season again. Look here for a preview of tonight's game against South Carolina. Injuries be damned. I think we make a decent showing tonight.
Secondly, has anyone seen this? I don't necessarily think this is a bad idea, I just think I need to be the one deciding who stays and who goes. You know, like that dumbass in front of you that can't work the ATM. Or that no-driving fool you always encounter on your way to work. Or that slobbering idiot member of the Wal-Mart Legion of Carolina fans. Those people could go away and life would dramatically improve for the rest of us. It's just that I need to be in charge. On to the #1 Sci-Fi Movie:
#1--Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Jim and I finally agree on one. This is one of the few sequels to out-do its predecessor. It tells the story of Luke Skywalker learning who he is, and more importantly, what he has to become. It follows him through his intial Jedi training with Yoda and his first face-to-face encounter with Darth Vader. I like it because it's well written and serves as a fantastically superior middle piece to the trilogy. Jim likes it because the bad guys appear to be winning. Great moments include killing the Wampa ice creature, Yoda's raising the X-Wing from the swamp, the first appearance of Boba Fett (an homage to the Man With No Name. His name is never used in this movie and when he first enters, you can hear the clink of spurs, even though the character doesn't wear them), and Vader's revelation to Luke. Thumbs way the hell up...
Memorable Quote:
Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke: He told me enough! He told me *you* killed him!
Darth Vader: No. *I* am your father.

I figured this had to be number one, otherwise I would have to revoke your scifi credibility.
Besides, how can you not love a movie with lots and lots of Star Destroyers kicking rebel ass?
