I voted for RR because well... i thought it was only fair to give Kilteds nomination my vote seeing as i made him read Persuasion! :brow:

But then i was reading up on my families history there and if my family did originally come from the MaGregor clan in Scotland (albeit we were long gone out of Scotland by this point) there would have been some family links to RR, which i thought was pretty awesome!
But i'm too lazy to go do the research which would involve probably a few trips to a parish in Fermanagh and the national archives. A lot of our records were distroyed during the civil war but the north has good records and so does Britain but...meh...!

I'm not sure what actually makes a bank holiday, but in the States it is Memorial Day. Where are you Nightshade?

England. Its a term mostly used in the Uk and ireland accorrding to britanica:

Quote:

in the United Kingdom, any of several days designated as holidays by the Bank Holidays Act of 1871 and a supplementary act of 1875 for all the banks in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Although these days are not statutory public holidays, their observance is no longer limited to banks.

Today is the Spring Bank holiday.

worst of the original trilogy.

better than any of the new ones.

imthefoolonthehill

So i guess what I'm trying to say is that it came in third out of six.

Worst of the trilogy?????? That doesn't make sense. I rank it at the top followed by Star Wars then Return of the Jedi. You???
05-25-2009, 03:58 PM
imthefoolonthehill

Episodes 6,4,5,3,2,1 (from best to worst) "This is Podracing!"
05-25-2009, 04:26 PM

I've never ranked the last three, I just lump them into one "not the original' pile of steaming poo.

Seriously how do you go from the sleekness of Padme's ship to the millenium falcon.

Padme's ship was a transporter for a queen...the Millenium Falcon was a cargo transport.

The one thing that the first three is missing...Harrison Ford...

That was just one example, most of the sets were like that.

Are you saying that episodes 4-6 are better or not?
05-25-2009, 04:48 PM
Stargazer86

Harrison Ford is great!

I was sorely disappointed with episodes 1-3. I mean they were cool and all to watch...except for episode 1. That kid was insanely annoying. But I just don't think they melded well together. Lucas shouldn't have directed it. I don't think he directed episodes 4,5,6 did he?

Of course the originals are better. I'm saying the continuity bothers me between the old and new bugs me.

Good evening :D

:lol: Got a Star Wars discussion going on in here? I am afraid I can't really give an opinion there - I only saw the old ones (funny :p) and the first episode. I truly enjoyed that last one, but I had not heard of Star Wars before so it was "just" a grand movie to watch. And I like flying so (not that I can fly ) ... I could totally imagine that boy wanting to go fast :D.

I get it...noted and accepted...

It had to be hard to blend that, but I think that they tried to justify it by saying this is the life under the Republic vs the life under the Empire...or so it was mentioned in one of the Behind the Scenes...

Yes but I think it came off as more whiney and poutiness. I just don't see the sudden transition of Hayden Christenson's portrayl of Aniken to Darth Vader. It didn't work at all for me

Exactly there was something missing there.

Star wars, all 6 of them, have always had great ideas with horrible writing. It takes a lot for an actor to do much with a script that is that terrible. Look back at the old ones. They had poor scripts too.

I have spent since 11 oclock this morning cooking waraq inab ( stuffed vine leaves), that is 11 hours if anyone is counting, and its not quiet finished yet.
But I just tasted it and its tastes awful I might as well throw the lot in the bin :bawling:
and I know exactly why, the leaves were wierd, not my usual brand and I knew as soon as I started wrapping they were odd I mean they were brittle and a mix of the turkish type and the Levant type leaf but I continued and ...waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I know I was impressed that I manged to do it in one day! Last time it took 3.

and tommorow I am making Mahsi Karomb. (cabbage) so up bright and early to have it all done by 3.
:rolleyes:

This is why in the middle east cooking is a communal activity!

lol, no kidding. whenever my mom makes spheeha she usually has a friend with her, and it STILL takes all day :).

What's Mahsi Karomb, though? Don't think I've heard of it. Stuffed cabbage?
05-26-2009, 05:54 PM
Nightshade

Yes not Levantish as it were. same basic principle but with really only meat and rice. ( and spices)
and you dont fold as you roll only roll!
Plus cabbage is kind of stinky ( but tastes ssoooooooooooo goooooooooooood) so alot of peopel won't cook it.

spheeha??? :confused: what is this??
05-27-2009, 12:53 AM
andave_ya
