“Fresh Attacks kill 19 in Afghanistan”

1) Remember that scene at the end of The Return of the Jedi when the Rebels on Endor take down the shield and what’s left of the Rebel fighters take off into the incomplete Death Star, and they come out into the center into a massive power plant after that wicked awesome flight?
Well, if you eat an apple, you end up with the kind of double concave shape that unceasingly reminds me of the power generator at the center of the Death Star. Go eat an apple, you’ll see what I mean.
Actually, I really need to mention Lando’s co-pilot. Deadly precursor to Jar Jar Binks? I would make a comment here about how the blubbering fish dude looked like he’d be good wrapped in rice and seaweed with a little wasabi (that’s a lie, wasabi has a good burn but an unfortunate taste), but when you have squid-people in the movie too, making a sushi joke about a fish-person seems somewhat short-sighted.
b) At the start of Charlie’s Angels when they do that uh…rescue kidnapping bomb defusal thing operation, when Lucy Liu’s character dives out of the chopper…was there someone flying? Don’t the Angels work alone? Was Bosley flying? Is it Bozley? He did grow up in da’ hood as we know from Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle! (which also featured a chopper scene…choppers rock). Anyways I’m sure someone died from the chopper crashing because they didn’t flash the “no animals were harmed in the making of this film” blurb.
finally) everyone loves a happy ending. So I’d like to say thank you!
P.S.) how does Hollywood expect to make a convincing fake fight scene with Jet Li out there? The man’s got fucking cobras for arms and cannons for legs, he’s so unbelievably fast that every time I watch anything less (Steven Seagal comes directly to mind…) I find I cannot at all believe it. I can pretty much love any movie except for ones that try to have fight scenes without Jet Li. Disappointing. Plus Andy Lau looks funny in that movie where he duels with razor blades. They needed that pretty crazy chick more. And a funnier wig. And shit, why are there like 50 people named Kar-Wai in HK film? Tony Leung Kar-Wai is different than Tony Leung or is there a Leung Kar-Wai also? Or is that just Wong Kar-Wai?
Starship Troopers is a better movie than you think, go watch it, even if the armor ended up in more movies than anyone or anything else involved with the movie both in front or behind the camera.
