When you have entirely too much time on your hands.

First lets address some issues with Star Wars:

Now, if the a force sensitive individual can be seduced to the dark side by embracing his anger/rage, then what side would a passionate sexual person be seduced to?

For that matter, are Sith into Sadism sexual practices?

And for all the "there is no emotion, only peace" philosophy, I have seen a lot of Jedi in the Star Wars movies get fucking emotional about a lot of shit, and then get down right angry.

Star Trek

Look, I have been in the military, and have discussed the fact that every time you need to speak to a particular individual to have them do some task, and you send someone looking for them, they inevitably turn up to be in the latrine (head for you navy and marine types, loo for you Brits.)

Now, in all the Star Trek series, and movies, have you ever seen one of the captains try and get some specialist and be told they are taking a dump?

What is it, future humans dont use bathrooms?

Star Trek captains:

First:

Kirk always seem to have on thing on his mind, sex. I mean the guy went out of his way when there was a sexy female alien around to try and get her in the rack.

Second:
The Prime Directive:

For all the Holier than thou quoting of the Prime Directive, every captain in every series blatantly and willfully broke it with out a second thought.

Thus leading me to believe the Prime Directive was some stick the Federation used to get some race to fall into doing what they wanted them to do.

At least the Klingons were honest about it, they saw something they wanted they would blast the hell out of the owners of the item till they got it. You know, kind of like the US and oil?

And finally, Picard was a sanctimonious stuck up prick, and for all his claiming to be of French ancestry (including owning a French vineyard with his brother) the guy had a hell of a crisp Brit accent.

Any of Matt Damian's non-Bourne films.

Lets face it, the sucker always needs rescued, and to date, the little twerp has racked up a whopping $9,897,894,532.56 om costs to rescue his ass (most of the cost being incurred in getting his butt off Mars.)

I watched the original, uncut Jaws last night and have a few thoughts.

The first snack, the girl skinny dipping.

1) In case none of you ever noticed, she says at one point during the attack "It hurts!"

This is amid the "Oh God" statements, screams and whatever else.

It hurts? really?

2) Chief Brody wants to close the beaches after the first attack, and is told he needs a resolution passed by the city.

WRONG!

While Peter Benchley did a fair job on his research about sharks, he completely missed one point.

The chief of police in any American city or town has the authority to take whatever measures to insure public safety. In other words, he could have told the Mayor to go fuck himself and the city council would have one recourse, fire his ass and then hire someone to take his place to reopen the beaches.

Especially since there appears to be no harbor master for the township, which would make Chief Brody chief of police and the harbor master (guy in charge of the waterways in and around the town, and usually two different people.

Now Brody is an ex NYC cop, which means he knows the system so if he had been fired, his next step would have been to tell the county sheriff, who could step in and close the beaches which were clearly outside the town limits.

Finally, even an idiot medical examiner would have a major problem saying that the first victim got caught in a propeller, and had he falsified the report to say as much, he is looking at a felony level crime in the very least.

Then there is the fact that shark attacks have to be called into the coast guard and this has been the regulation since the fifties.

I don't think sexual sadism is a purely Sith thing, either: mutilation level bodymods seem to have been a thing for Kenobi as well as Skywalker/Vader and it's probably a piece of etiquette he picked up from his former master, whose go to solution to most minor confrontations in the film was cutting somebody's hand off. (I mean seriously, the first time anybody is seen using a lightsabre in the original film it's to chop an appendage off somebody five minutes after it's been demonstrated that he could have just used a Jedi mind trick to make the bucktoothed blue alien sod off and mind his own business...)
