383 - There Were (Officially) No Twins From Alderaan, The Church Of Our Lady Of Bifurcation, "Bartender? I'd Like That Stuff From Flash Gordon", and Five Ghosts Photographed Pretending To Be A Shaky Light Blob

[‎11:23 AM] Mr. Silver:
So Rey is Luke's kid
Didn't seem to be hiding that at all.
[‎11:23 AM] Ms. Rose:
Everyone seems to think that. I'm not convinced.
[‎11:25 AM] Mr. Silver:
Well... Unlikely ace pilot aptitude... Unlikely electro-mechanical savant... Ability to pick up Force abilities by exposure and suggestion.
Luke had all of that.
So did Anakin.
He left her on a planet even more lifeless than Tatooine just so there'd be so little chance of it ever “wakening”, I think.
Obviously this idea didn't go as planned, since whatever guardian she was left with was portrayed by "arm-in-shot".
Could have been Sydow, though
He made a comment about not mixing in family affairs
He and Kylo clearly knew each other.
[‎11:30 AM] Mr. Blue:
Someone said in book versions Rey is Han and Leia's kid
So she's Kylo's sister
It does seem blatantly obvious that she'd be Luke’s daughter
[‎11:31 AM] Ms. Rose:
They briefly mention the twin idea in the movie, if I recall. So, basically the same plot as 4-5-6. LOL
[‎11:32 AM] Mr. Silver:
The twin thing was dumped as non-canon, I thought
[‎11:32 AM] Mr. Blue:
She has to be some Force user's daughter to just pick up the Force and all that.
Who the Hell else is there? Obi-wan have any kids?
[‎11:33 AM] Mr. Silver:
Leia "Just flip the coin."
Han "It's weird!"
Leia "Just flip it...it's tradition."
Han "You weren't even born on Alderaan...you don't HAVE to abandon a twin, you know."
[‎11:36 AM] Mr. Blue:
It almost seems like they're making it so obvious that Rey is Luke’s daughter just to throw a twist in that she's not. Or maybe they're just not subtle
They really hammered home that Kylo Ren is Han and Leia's son several times, so I guess they assume the audience is dense.



[‎1/‎5] Mr. Blue:
Churches have weird names
"Our Lady Queen of the Americas Church"... who is that even referring to?
[‎ 11:00 AM] Ms. Rose:
I thought Dairy Queen was Queen of the Americas. Or Madonna, maybe. :P
[‎ 11:06 AM] Mr. Blue:
"Church of the Savior on Blood" is another. At least it's clear who it references but... kinda morbid
[‎ 11:14 AM] Mr. Silver:
Our Raging Queen of Sailors
[‎ 11:15 AM] Mr. Blue:
Our Savior of the Festering Wounds
[‎ 11:25 AM] Mr. Silver:
Our Lady of Perpetual Defenestration
[‎ 11:32 AM] Ms. Rose:
ROFL
[‎ 11:33 AM] Mr. Blue:
Dennis Miller (on TV): "Now, I don't want to go on a rant here, but America's foreign policy makes about as much sense as Beowulf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first battle of Antietam. I mean when a neo-conservative defenestrates it's like Raskolnikov filibustering deoxymonohydroxinate." 
Peter: "What the hell does rant mean?"
[‎ 11:34 AM] Mr. Silver:
Hehe...loved that comeback.
[‎ 11:36 AM] Mr. Blue:
They did some digs on Dennis Miller on the Simpsons, too
(Lisa joins Mensa and reads a shirt that says C:\DOS. C:\DOS.RUN. RUN:\DOS:\RUN)  "Only 1 person in a million would find that funny."
"Yes, we call that the Dennis Miller Ratio."
[‎ 11:39 AM] Mr. Silver:
Heh
[‎ 11:39 AM] Ms. Rose:
LOL
[‎ 11:41 AM] Mr. Silver:
Defenestrate and Bifurcate and Snoo are my trio of go-to words for conversations where people ask me what happened to someone...
[‎ 11:49 AM] Mr. Silver:
"So, what happened to Steve again?"
"His doctor said it was Bifurcated Torso."
"Ohhh."
[‎ 11:50 AM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
[‎ 11:55 AM] Mr. Silver:
"I don't understand what's going on with Chuck."
"Well he'd been having these headaches and eventually they put him in an MRI and they turned up a nodule of Snoo."
"What's snoo?"
"Not a lot, what's snoo with you?"



[‎ 10:09 AM] Mr. Silver:
Anyway...
We watched "Flash Gordon"
Last time Silver Jr. watched it he was too young to get into it...appeared to have blanked it out.
[‎ 10:10 AM] Ms. Rose:
I saw your FB post. I immediately thought of the theme song. "FLASH! AhhhAHHHHHHH! He'll save every one of us!" Classic cheese.
[‎ 10:11 AM] Mr. Blue:
Remember when I set a recording for Flash Gordon but it was actually Flesh Gordon?
[‎ 10:11 AM] Ms. Rose:
Hahahahaha!
[‎ 10:27 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yeah!  Hehe
Star Wars - space opera
Flash Gordon - space glam
Silver Jr. liked it this time.
[‎ 10:33 AM] Ms. Rose:
I admit, I did not see it as a child. But Thaddeus showed it to me and I gained an appreciation. So, I guess he wasn't a complete waste of 13 years. :P
[‎ 10:35 AM] Mr. Blue:
It's entertaining
[‎ 10:36 AM] Mr. Silver:
Hehehe!  I saw it new in the theater.  (sings) AWESOOOOME!!!!   I've seen it enough times to step out and think about things as it runs.  I commented "Son...no one ever made a movie that looked like this before, and no one ever will again."
So, baseline conversation now complete, on to why I brought it up:
The most mind-bending line in Flash Gordon is when the slave is giving Dale a drink.  Dale asks what it is.
"It has no name.  Many men died to bring it from the Galaxy of Pleasure."
#1...how do you order it?
#2...what did Ming tell them to go get?
#3...there is an entire galaxy of pleasure.
#4...none of them moved there.
[‎ 11:34 AM] Ms. Rose:
#3 is the most important, in my opinion. That's the big question.
[‎ 11:34 AM] Mr. Silver:
#5...did the many men die of pleasure...or were the inhabitants really enjoying killing them off?
[‎ 11:36 AM] Ms. Rose:
I feel like I could be a killer in the Galaxy of Pleasure.
[‎ 11:42 AM] Mr. Silver:
#6...Ming (Courtiers chant: "Ruler of the Universe!") is apparently unable to conquer the Galaxy of Pleasure
Amazing
Hehe
"My job is to bring you drinks. What? Haven't you ever seen a Mongon bartender uniform before?"
[‎ 12:14 PM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe that's like where the cenobites come from
Pleasure/Pain is the same thing there.
Also I want that on my tombstone
"Died of Pleasure"
During the Great Pleasure Bounty of '27
[‎ 12:17 PM] Ms. Rose:
I approve this tombstone.
[‎ 12:42 PM] Mr. Silver:
Indeed
[‎ 12:45 PM] Mr. Blue:
What happens if someone gives the drink a name?
[‎ 12:51 PM] Mr. Silver:
Yes! Does it stop working if someone bothers to name it?
(Glam Mongon barmaid orientation)
"The 1st rule of ... (points) ... is it has no name."
"The 2nd rule of ... (points) ... is it HAS NO NAME."
"The 3rd rule is, nobody name ... (points) ... or it may not work anymore."
"You mean what I've been calling Green Stuff?"
"This doesn't taste right anymore...hmmm."
"SOB!!!"



[‎10:48 AM] Mr. Brown:
[‎10:54 AM] Mr. Blue:
Seems like an unreasonable stretch, even by ghost picture standards
It looks like it's coming from the back yard
[‎1:05 PM] Mr. Silver:
"We sat our 89-year old expert down in front of MS Paint to let him try to outline the figures as well as he can with his palsy."
[‎1:06 PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
I see a goat standing on its hind legs, a minstrel playing a gittern and a tall woman carrying a tray of baked goods
Lute, I mean, not gittern
Damn... dude's playing two flutes at once!!
He's the Jimmy Page of medieval wind instruments
[‎1:17 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Hehe!  Look, I have teeth like the queen!  Hey, you aren't going to paint me doing that are you?  She'd kill me."
[‎1:17 PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
"Of course not!  But all the same, please hold still for a few minutes while I sketch your hat."
