[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."
