The Batshit Crazy Republicans Roundup
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Could it be shaped into a pretty decent Jabba with a little effort? If so, you ought to shape it.

Re: The 2016 Batshit Crazy Republican Presidential Candidate
Weird as it may seem, I don't think anyone uses the word "snow" in Empire Strikes Back. It was used in the marketing/merchandising (most notably with "snowspeeder"), but I can't remember a single occurrence of its being spoken in the movie. Somehow, this adds to the realism for me and helps sell the setting. They've been there a while. For them, the snow is less something to comment on and more something that's just there.
I feel like a lesser script would have beaten the audience over the head with the word, the same way a lesser stand-up will use the name of the celebrity being impersonating over and over during the impersonation. ("You little Girlie Man! I am Arnold Schwarzenegger! I will crush you! I will crush you with my Hummer, because I, Arnold Schwarzenegger, drive a Hummer and am Arnold Schwarzenegger! I will crush you, and then I'll be back... ing up to crush you again! It's not a TROOPAH! It's a Hummer! Get to da CHARGAH and see if you can outrun Arnold's Hummer! Hasta LeBaron! Automobile humor! Arnold! Governator! EEiOHaaGHHRAAG!") Good going, Empire Strikes Back script.

Re: The 2016 Batshit Crazy Republican Presidential Candidate
Maybe it mentioned snow a thousand times but the cast just ad-libbed it away. I think Empire might be Ford's best performance on screen.
Too much mugging in Last Crusade. Too bored in Jedi. Maybe Temple of Doom? Certainly better than any Jack Ryan's or later outings like Air Force One.

It's only ever in the stage directions in the shooting script.

Sure didn't take Walker long to start acting like a real Republican Presidential candidate.

Re: The 2016 Batshit Crazy Republican Presidential Candidate
I wish we could have some Democrats over here. Currently the left are basically communist, the so-called right are so centralist they are ineffective in any position, and the right-right are fucking scarey.

Re: The 2016 Batshit Crazy Republican Presidential Candidate
You've got Democrats then. Our Democrats are center/center-right. I'd kill for an effective left wing party.

No, your Democrats are, at even their most leftist, right.
But at least they aren't batshit crazy right wing loon-cakes or Socialist morons with no grip on reality.

Re: The 2016 Batshit Crazy Republican Presidential Candidate
I'd like to do a little research on British politics, Dimple. Give me some party names. Who is the communist-left group you mentioned before? Who's the centrist right and who are the scary right?

BNP / EDL types on the far right. Inside them is UKIP, Conservatives closer to the centre under Cameron. Labour are socialist loons under Miliband. SNP further left.

Re: The 2016 Batshit Crazy Republican Presidential Candidate
People mistakenly believe the Lib Dems to be in the middle, but they are actually am offshoot of Labour when they were similarly leftist and are a protest party. They will likely get wiped out at the next election.

Re: The 2016 Batshit Crazy Republican Presidential Candidate
I'll have to research where Labour stands these days. I haven't paid much attention to them since Brown got booted out.
As far as the Lib Dems...is the imminent death of that party the only reason Nick Clegg hasn't been replaced yet? Sort of a "Eh, we'll disband soon anyway. May as well let him carry us all the way down." mentality?

He's Deputy PM in the coalition so they are stuck with him until the election.
