Seeing Zhora (Joanna Cassidy) trying to escape from Deckard by running through store front glass windows. Is still one of the best scenes ever shot. Her look of fatal desperation still sticks with me til this day.

I really like your post. You grasp the numbers game of a galaxy size story. Considering a regular Star Destroyer has about 40,000 persons and a Super Star Destroyer has over 300,000 persons, 10,000 Jedi spread out through the galaxy would not even register to most people in the galaxy. The Jedi were tools of the old Republic and the centers of power. The further you got away from the center of power the fewer people who would have heard of the Jedi. The Jedi were more myth than reality at the beginning of episode 4. Also it did not help that many of the best Jedi were killed going on a special mission to the edges of the galaxy right before episode 1. Or so the old canon goes. I think it is a shame that in this universe, that Luke so completely failed in his efforts to rebuild the Jedi.

Now that they are rewriting episode VIII, maybe they can transport or holograph in Dr. Phil to help Ren with his issues and Maury Povich to help Rey with her parentage issues.

That is old canon. We will have to wait and see how the new Disney canon shakes out. So far all we know is everyone and their uncle are adept with a lightsaber. Energy beams can be fired through hyperspace covering many light years and not only does it not dissipate but can emerge out of hyperspace on cue to destroy a target. (Cool). And it appears everyone has quantum eyesight that allows them to see objects destroyed light years away in real time or is that simultaneously time, either way. (Cool again)

It has been about 7 years since I have joined a dating site. I might need to rethink it, a good friend of mine found someone on a site which I thought was kind of shady. But 3 months after meeting her they were married. A quickie in Vegas. She seems very good for him? So to be honest those Eharmony commercials are starting to wear me down. So they may soon get some of my disposable income.

There is such a thing as singing up for a dating site, but not paying to be a member of a dating site. That way you only get teaser emails from the site saying this person is looking for someone like you. Join our site so you can contact this person. Decisions, decisions should I give them 14.95 a month to see a fake person they made up for me. Yes, because online we all, "are not who we are."

Yes, yeast infections complete women. Along with milk, that does the body good, it allows them to make their own yogurt.

I think this stems from not seeing the finish product before making decisions on marketing. Kylo is clearly not enviable, bad ass or likable material by the end of the film. The script they were working from probably did not have the temper tantrum in it or the killing of Han.

Well heaven, that is if you have Liberty Mutual insurance, with that sin redemption coverage.

Well D was an inside Hollywood joke. That I was using to gauge the general knowledge of commenters. Ask Peter Jackson and the Tolkien estate about those net payments from The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

There are a few of us who will openly admit: A- This was a reboot and a bad one. B- Not wanting to pay for the rights to the expanded universe characters was just Disney Greed. Much love Mara Jade!!! C- The movie is a derivative crap fest. D- The movie will never make it out of the red. Because that is just how Hollywood rolls.

Rey's character was so derivative if not totally steeped in such female leads in shows like, Charmed, The Mortal Instruments, The Witches of East End, The Nine lives of Chloe King, Lost Girl, and Vampire Academy. All very female centric shows with young women or girls whose powers have been blocked shielded or bound. Then all of a sudden the powers are released. But they have little to no understanding of their power and how to use them. The only thing they understand less, is how they fit into their new world. However one thing is clear, they are always the future saviors of something. It is just to bad they are so ill prepared for the task. Now most male centered scifi and scifantasy may center around a male whose birthright of some kind was taken away. But the difference is there was always a central theme of training and training well to prepare to take back what is yours. Or to train in order to fulfill a destiny. The modern scifi writers of male centric scifi tended to borrow much from 70's and 80's kung fu movies. Where your trained and trained to defeat your enemies. The term 'chick' may offend some for sure. But just as everyone knows there are chick flicks, considered more for women than men. Sci fantasy and sci fiction have the same category. And Hollywood knows this and markets films accordingly. This Star Wars reboot is heavy into The Mortal Instruments, Nine Lives of Chloe and Lost Girl, female centric viewing audience. How do I know about some of these shows. I am on the fourth tier of my Netflix watching. I guess the foreign stuff is next, then I guess it is the gay and lesbian stuff.

George Lucas himself did not have the most kind words or thoughts on the movie. I do not know why, but I can guest one reason is. That he literally spent a lifetime building a mythology about the Jedi. Their elitism due to rigorous training, all made completely moot in one 2hr movie. Both Finn and Rey handling lightsabers like they were born to them. Finn really should not have been able to attack that alone parry with Kylo Ren. Yet both Finn and Rey did. As for Luke's training, there was plenty of canon on this, but once again the movie made most of it moot. In the old Star Wars universe both the Rebels and the Empire were running academies and I guest the best term would be pre acadamy training. Piloting in the Star Wars universe is like driving a car here on earth. Almost everyone can, but few can do it very very well. I'm going to be careful here, Luke received weeks of training with Yoda before he went to the Cloud City. The dialogue that matters is Han telling Leia it is far but he thinks they can make it. They were running on sublight engines. I get very upset when people write or watch scifi and they don't get the relationship between faster than light travel and sublight travel. After Yoda died Luke also took a partial training manual that Yoda had. But the most important thing to know about Luke's training is that he built his own lightsaber. Very important to the Jedi, at least in the old canon. I have read 13 trilogies based on Star wars, which isn't that many considering how many there are. In short there could have been plenty of strong female characters who could have and probably should have helmed the reboot. Mara Jade or perhaps a female child of Luke's or Leia, who had some considerable training. The movie just made a mockery of the Jedi lore, Sith lore, dark Jedi lore and most importantly a joke out of what it takes to do battle with trained persons. But mileage does vary.

Shortly before Christmas I was forced to face who I was as a person. So I decided that the Christmas holiday would be the time that I let my friends and family know who I was inside. I came out of the closet and revealed my true self to them. Now I think it is time I do so to my online communities. It's not as easy as I thought it would be, but here it goes. THE NEW STAR WARS MOVIE SUCKS!! They have turn Star Wars into Young Adult Chick Sci-Fi, the scourge of all stem trained males and a select few women who did not lose interest in science after eight grade. Say what you will about George Lucas's interpretation of his own work. At least he understood that space and battle are places where only the well trained thrive and survive. Such is not the case in The Force Awakens. The people over at the feminist frequency should be celebrating. For you have won. With the rise of Young Adult Chick Sci-Fi you have managed to effectively kill off the Manic Pixie Dream Girl and replace her with the Clueless Cinderella Warrior Girl. Yeah, for the new modern feminist! Yeah for the Young Adult Chick Sci-Fi crowd! Yeah for the Clueless Cinderella Warrior Girl! With her standard characteristics being that she walked around most of her life, totally clueless and unremarkable as a human being, compared to other hard working high achieving girls. Then one day she starts to menstruate or kisses a boy or reads some magic words or in the worst case dies. Then all of a sudden she emerges, still clueless, but with superior warrior skills, enough to best the evil at hand. The evil at hand is usually 'a evil boy' in a mans body, which she happens to be crushing on. Mean while her newly found snowflake status endears her to the hearts and minds of many who are willing to sacrifice their lives so Clueless Cinderella Warrior Girl can live on to fulfill her destiny of saving a group, race or the entire human race. Inevitably on her journey to save the world she asks, how am I able to do all of this? The question should be rhetorical, because we all know she is the snowflake commonly referred to as Clueless Cinderella Warrior Girl. I am hash tagging that. #CluelessCinderellaWarriorGirl. Well at least the females are faring better in the Young Adult Chick Sci-Fi that is the Force Awakens. As for the minorities, all we get is the wise cracking garbage man, err, sanitation engineer straight out of the Compton sector. The only things missing from his ghetto, err, urban performance was some old guy calling him a big dummy and a Tupac reference. Okay he was chivalrous enough to try and hold the snowflake's hand when they were running from the bad guys. I am assuming that is where he got the skill to wield a lightsaber. Touching the hand of a snowflake who is a Clueless Cinderella Warrior Girl, is good like that. I am not going to bad mouth Hollywood for they are in the business of making money. Disney paid good money for the rights to Star wars and judging by the scoreboard bank they are making with their latest incarnation of Star Wars. If they want to helm a Young Adult Chick Sci-Fi Star Wars with a Clueless Cinderella Warrior Girl. They are more than a little right! It had to be said somewhere.

Muffyn, Muffyn. Muffyn! Trying to visualize the perfect woman being a natural woman, has been known to cause some body parts to chafe.

Well if you were in the room while I was reading some of the post in the show forums on this site. You would see and hear another person who talks to websites, in very unflattering language at times.

Okay I rather liked this commercial when it reached the end. In today's world, your husband takes two young boys for the whole day for some father son bonding. The whole day. Leaving the wife to enjoy some alone time to do whatever she wants. Sleep late, take a long bath, read, talk with her friends, binge watch a show that only she likes. Hey maybe even shave the legs for the thank you sex for giving her a day of relaxation. I also must admit in today's world couples are to connected. You use to be able to go to work and other places for escape, but now if you are dumb enough to have a video chat program on your phone. Your better half can have constant contact with you 24/7. So I do not find it strange that a person would ignore some calls or texts from a wife or girlfriend. In summary, don't ruin the "bro buzz!"

I think it is the "I just bought a hammer" at the end from her mom that makes the commercial. I wish I knew what it is about, Rashida Jones, that makes her so interesting. She not overly beautiful or anything, but she is just so delicious to the eyes.

Here's to DDII. David and DiNozzo International Investigations. Remington Steele eat your heart out.

I laughed very hard at the last line. In your scenario Morgan would clearly be the frog and Carol the charming scorpion.

They should bring back the old anticipation song used for the Heinz ketchup commercial. As for why men, not just the old use Viagra. Real Genius sums it up. Chris Knight: So, if there's anything I can do for you - or, more to the point, *to* you - just let me know. Susan: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis? Chris Knight: Not right now. Susan: A girl's gotta have her standards. [Walks away]

Okay do not read to much into this. The game is over, she is in the Viagra anticipation mode. Which means the instructions on the Viagra reads that Viagra usually kicks in at the thirty minute mark. So if all goes well when she's with her man, she has got at least four hours of hardness to play with. Before at least one person should become concerned. Viagra is not an instant miracle just a slow and very effective miracle.

Benjamin's in the bank, baby!!!!!!! The perks of wealth, $106 Viagra pills and hot blondes as beckon call girls.

Life in the ZA will always boil down to the greatest Pembletonism. Pembleton: I'm saying you got a darkness, you, Tim Bayliss, you got a darkness inside of you. You gotta know the darker, uglier sides of yourself. You gotta recognize them, so that they're not constantly sneaking up on you. You gotta LOVE 'EM, 'cause they're part of you, because along with your virtues, they make you who you are. Virtue isn't virtue unless it slams up against vice. So consequently, your virtue's not real virtue. Until it's been tested. . . tempted.

Yeah, for the times when the flow is with you. For the die hard Star Wars fan in every woman.
