Yeah, he said "preserve". When I first read it, I got the image of a ~~Jurassic~~ Pleistocene park myself.

I wonder if anyone brought his poor word choice to his attention.

~~strike~~. It's [ s ] and [ / s ] minus the spaces.

I always found strike through's annoying.

Yes. The wig was terrible. What was wrong with the previous wigs they used on her?

She was definitely skinner in the balcony scene than the end on Mustafar.

I have no idea what I'd ever say to KT personally, if I met her...probably something about how she did a hatched job and character assasinated the greatest female SW EU character in the post ROTJ era, but yeah that sounds about right

Sounds good to me Alex

I sooooo wish I was going to SD Comic Con. My friends (who are the Roswell board mods) Erin and Jen are going, for the New Moon panel. So jealous but so praying they get in to be my eyes and ears.

If I were there it would have worked out well because New Moon panel is on Thursday and according to that schedule:

Friday, July 24

Friday is the big day: Star Wars day. Plan carefully and keep hydrated. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

I so need to go one day soon.

Jerry, *mumbles* I always found you annoying.

Seriously.

I'll have to pay close attention to the balcony scene next time I watch it. I sometimes fast forward through the romance scenes.

**BehrItAll** · 07-11-2009, 05:05 PM

I don't FF that scene because soon after Anakin wakes up shirtless and hot and HAWT!

FreedomsBullets · 07-11-2009, 09:31 PM

<-- Is indifferent to shirtless Hayden.

Not exactly gonna complain, but not looking for it either.

Palpy's favorite fetish is to dominate people who would otherwise seem dominant, hence his interest in young Skywalker. Lord Sidious has a weird incest fetish as well, molesting not only Anakin, but Anakin's son, Anakin's future daughter-in-law, and Anakin's father

Huh? Anakin didn't have a father.

I was referring to the Force.

Juli,

you could take it or leave it.
I was disappointed when his low rise pants didn't sink lower.

But it was only a PG-13 movie.

Ewan was once quoted saying in jest he want to drop his Jedi knickers and show his real lightsaber

basenji · 07-12-2009, 08:36 PM

Yeah, well, Ewan's contract requires he be naked in all his movies.

Personally, I don't mind doing nudity for artistic purposes, so long as it's tastefully done. Like, getting out of bed naked, or swimming naked when it just makes sense. But I would never have sex on camera, because that's just porn. (Sometimes I think modern independent film is rated M for Money.)

Jedi knickers? That's great.

You noticed that too?

What do the Jedi wear under their robes anyway? About the time I stopped hanging around TFN was about the time someone said Palpy wore the gold bikini.

Well, you heard my opinion on artistic nudity. For me, it can capture important metaphors. Like in my culture, it's often used as a symbol of rebirth or as a heroic symbol, since many warriors fought naked to keep from catching a snag on brush and other vegetable matter. (Warriors who danced naked before the battle also pledged to leave no one behind. And after the battle, if no one died, they wore their second-best outfit which people would then strip off them, so as to show their battle scars; if you removed an article of clothing, keeping with Lakota virtues of generosity, you got to keep it. So there's a lot of the "heroic nudity" imagery.) It's also used as a fertility symbol, if the genitals are oversized, such as in Sun Dance figurines.

But sometimes it's pure fanservice. And showing a penis is the surest way to an R rating, which incrases your cred with the art crowd.

**Cryostar** · 07-13-2009, 06:05 AM

I'm sorry Juli, what was that?
