And there's another one.  People in Chicago have nothing better to do but obey Jesse Jackson.  I'd been wondering lately if he was still alive.

So yeah, it's clear that this was planned all along.

It's beginning to look more like the virus was just a hoax, the vaccine is the killer and it's safe to assume that was the point.  Safer than the vaccine anyway.

And the left is trying to push its tyranny after that latest trial with defenses like 'it's your fault if people we support attack you.'  You know, it's like wearing a short skirt, you were just asking for it.

The revolting revolution about the child rapist is continuing.  If a child rapist is pointing a gun at you, just shut up and obey. He's the master.  Whatever skin color the dead child rapist had, that skin color will get whatever it wants, just accept it.  It's not like the cops were around.

Why are liberals so determined to take this position?  Can't they at least openly acknowledge who they're defending? Maybe add that they wish they weren't defending a white-skinned child rapist? Maybe wonder why the media hadn't mentioned that all this time?  Maybe note that if the guy was following the second rule of weapon safety, he wouldn't have been the one being shot?

But no, they don't acknowledge any of that because they're so fair-minded.

I've paid attention to yet another movie.  At this rate you'll need more than one hand to count the movies I've seen this year, or at least played while I was doing other work.

This one was the biggie, Star Wars.  Haven't seen it in ages but it popped into my head this morning.  I'm actually tempted to go through the whole One True Trilogy but that's iffy.

Anyway, it's been long enough since I've seen it that I'd forgotten about a lot of details.  I knew that it was basically Flash Gordon and influenced by a bunch of movies about warplanes but it was nice to see how minimal the actual story was.  It's quite straight-forward.

I still think that the best part about it is how well the story builds up.  For the first fifteen minutes or so, you think the movie is just about two escaped droids.  Then they get pulled into slavery and their master gets killed so their master's son takes them on a spaceship.  There's very little to do with the princess from the battle in the opening scene but they're all brought together quite well.

There are obvious problems with the plot as well.  There's several places where anybody with actual military experience could see how the Empire would have set up air defenses and sending in troops to inspect or capture someone.  Finding Luke and Ben in the cantina, stopping the Falcon from escaping Tatooine, stopping the crew from going around on the Death Star or escaping the Death Star...  That's just obvious stuff, there's no way they could be a galactic empire with so little knowledge of how to actually run things.

The biggest problem I saw - and this is only with the movie itself, I'm pretty good at ignoring everything that came afterwards - was the climax.  Luke is not very good as a hero type through most of the movie (exceptions noted, there are some) but here it was ridiculous.  He'd have to be a total idiot to pick the most unprovable way to aim a torpedo and this is the time when being wrong would be utterly disastrous for the universe.  What's he going to do if he misses, say "oops" and try again?

It works as a climax for the movie and I have to wonder if that's what made it so popular, showing unknown emotional guesses as the right way to go, no exceptions.  It's certainly an example of what the left has been after all these decades.

Which has made me wonder if there was any Hollywood conspiracy trying to make this work for them.  An obvious objection to this would be that nobody could expect such a massive hit.  True, but I'm trying to work out a theory about how they were looking for *anything* that was a hit so they could exploit it for leftist purposes.  That's also why I've been thinking about Guns'n'Roses so much these days.

The first scene filmed was in Tunisia (when I was 9 days old) and I wonder if there was any influence from the Muslim world and/or the drug trade.  And sexual interest in underage boys.  That's the sort of thing that makes me ponder if there's an underground conspiracy going on.  A generic sci-fi movie that no one expected anything big out of, so they might as well hire the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds who's only ever been in one movie, a minor role in Warren Beatty's Shampoo.  Why would Star Wars need to go to Tunisia to film a desert?  It's not like they didn't have those nearby and it's not like they didn't just make up backgrounds.

Harrison Ford even made a point of personally honoring child rapist Roman Polanski as Hollywood celebrated him.  They've been into this for decades if not longer.
