I wasn't too thrilled by those leather-skinned Skiff Guards in "Return of the Jedi." They were called Klaatus.

Hold on.  The standard retort for this type of sophomoric hijinx is lying around here somewhere...

Here it is:

We can discuss those roles, choices or any other aspect of a film but we should be able to do it with at least some semblance of class without resorting to name calling and just utter bashing.  If that is the only way you can get your point across then you have my pity because you have much bigger problems.   I just see it as low class, low rent and not a good way to express one's self in a discussion but nothing I say is going to change people from doing that so go ahead and do whatever floats your boat.

Ehhh... you WERE making fun of their sun-damaged condition of those poor Skiff Guards with that comment, right? ::)

Are we including Michael Rennie in the 1954 radio play that was broadcast on Lux Radio Theater?

OK... I just want you folks to drink this image in.  Give it proper time.  Let your eyes scan every inch of this glorious wonder.  Then blurt out the 1st nagging question you can come up with (and see if it matches mine) :o....

I found this Klaatu to be somewhat less than excellent...

Yeah, let's keep it classy.......no name calling,no utter bashing of people. If that's the only way you can get your point across,that would be indicative of a much bigger problem by the author (being low class, low rent, all that sort of thing). In other words, none of THIS stuff;

QuoteNot the child's fault she has a stupid inconsiderate mother.
(Name-calling. That's just "low rent")

QuoteNot the child's fault that she has a stupid ignorant clueless mother with no motherly instincts to protect the child.
(OK, this one is more "low class" than "low rent".)

QuoteWhat set me on this path by the way is attending the last few films I did sitting there with no snack, no drink at a mattinee thinking to myself how bad it sucked
(Not a classy word at ALL I hear).

QuoteSome people are so clueless it is amazing they manage to feed themselves or wipe their a**.
(Those stars in place of the double "S" make even THAT word SO classy! Bravo!)

QuoteThis voicemail illustrates a number of issues besides the fact the girl is a blithering idiot.
(tsk......such name-calling. But it it "low class" or "low rent"? I'm going to the judges for this one.)

QuoteI can be quite mean and scary when needed although I am usually considered jolly.  I yelled with a theater trained projection "Get off the "expletive" phone, now!
(Projecting such scariness and meanness and vulgarity would be a daily double........classless low rental).

QuoteI was in one a few years back watching Gladiator with a friend at a mattinee when soneone actually thought they could get away with smoking.  As a Fire Inspector I could have shut down that theater until they ejected the person but since I was with a work out buddy we just stood up and threatened to beat their a**.  .
(Again.........those little stars. Classy stuff!)


QuoteAll I am saying in the end is cut them some slack, don't hit below the belt, try to find some good even when expressing dissatisfaction

Ah..........words to live by. Right?

Gary, even symbols of moral decline such as ourselves know that you need H-O-T  A-I-R  in order to spell 'hypocritical'...


I read a case study where tight Jedi boots were cutting off proper blood oxygen to a subject's medulla oblongata, resulting in a similar series of incidents.

Cue to 1:45

[admin]This thread seems to have been started out of the ashes from another thread that turned sour. I'm asking that all parties (you know who you are) refrain from stoking any further flames. Somebody is bound to get burned as a result. I'm locking this thread and asking the involved participants to move on. [/admin]
