So delighted at any chance to die on Hamburger “AOTC is the only competent prequel, actually” Hill.

I’m basically here with Phantom and ROTS. AoTC, for all the complaints, is the only competently paced prequel.

I respectfully have no idea what this take is even trying to prove. But I’ll admit I’m outnumbered here and politely keep listening.

Also AOTC - for all its stolid acting and CGI - is original, paced well, and Makes Actual Sense, putting it ahead all three trilogy-enders on Basic Storytelling.

Just boring-ass orginalism. Once the Boomers and Xers are dead ROTJ will get ranked at the bottom forever for the original sin of the original series: bringing back the Death Star bc George couldn’t be bothered to come up with a good idea for the finale. The original “Somehow Palpatine returned.”

Whenever my wife and I do something cool then get in a car, we put on (specifically the John Barry) James Bond theme.

Whenever we leave a train wreck situation with our dignity barely intact, it’s the Police Squad theme.

At my high school, the n-word for poor kids was "ghetto kids". It's insane to remember how normalized - even by some parts of the faculty - that term was in the W Bush years.

Already blasphemy.

Feels like the criteria of "Comedy" is Shakespearean, or just "has a happy ending, with usually a marriage"

While I actually don't disagree categorically with the #1 (though definitely smacks of the pitch being Writer: "X is the greatest Y ever" Editor: "Let's make a listicle of best Ys ever and put X at the top!") they lost me at 100.

Do people besides MST3K obsessives care about the show enough to hate it? Very much a "get a life" scenario...

(Peter Gunn could NEVER)

Now it just needs a rustic ska cover to make it official:

Also low key the best lounge theme since James Bond.

Do you think *I* want to go on that website to see what the creeps are into now? No, that's what High Quality Journalism is for.

Fell in love with my wife by "MST3K and chilling" from a bootleg site in 2012.
