| 45422 | "Empire Strikes Back" Cinema Reaction (No seriously) | <p>By 1980 I was in Seattle and saw "The Empire Strikes Back" at the Cinerama and I remember the audience reaction was very vocal and very mixed.</p> <p>Star Wars audiences of 1980 was a mix you don't see much anymore. That 1980 Seattle audience was half people like me, we come from the generation that grew up watching "Captain Midnight" (aka Jett Jackson), "Tom Corbett - Space Cadet" and "Rocky Jones - Space Ranger".</p> <p>All of these TV shows started as radio dramas from the 1940's with the result that many storylines follow typical plots found in soap operas: "<em>Luke . . . I am your father!</em>" ie; "<em>Darla . . . I am your adopted sister!</em>".</p> <p>The Golden Age of sci-fi in my opinion was the 40's and the 50's. Many fans of Star Wars grew up with "Flash Gordon" on the movie screen so finding out that Darth Vader was Luke's father actually made since. It actually explains why Luke, Leia and Han were still alive - dad didn't have the heart to ax his son and Luke's friends.</p> <p>What makes "The Empire Strikes Back" so good is that George Lucas <strong>didn't write it</strong> and he <strong>didn't direct it</strong>. When it comes to movies George Lucas is, at best. a "C" student. George is part of my generation and "Star Wars" was his tribute to the1935 series, "The Phantom Empire" starring Gene Autry and the Sky Riders from Radio Ranch.</p> <p>All this old stuff was FUN! By the 1970's nobody was doing fun anymore. A new generation of kids were growing up with serious shows and serious comic books. George wanted to bring back the fun of sci-fi and made his move in the late 70's and early 80's.</p> <p>Thus - George Lucas became the luckiest man in Hollywood. But in entertainment, luck rarely repeats itself.</p> <p> </p> | eddstarr | Apr 19, 2020 | |
| 45421 | Corona Virus | <p>Well, we're starting to run low on hand soap. That's the one thing stores around here can't keep in stock, even worse than the toilet paper shortage.</p> <p>Looks like I'm going to have to start washing my hands with some body soap.</p> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Apr 19, 2020 | |

| 45419 | The Nintendo Switch - Your thoughts? | <p>thankfully said mole is nonexistent in the new game :lol:</p> | Benjanime | Apr 19, 2020 | |
| 45418 | The Nintendo Switch - Your thoughts? | <p>I feel like Nintendo does this to create hype sometimes. I have a real hankering to play the new Animal Crossing. I'd play the Gamecube Version but the mole is gonna yell at me since it's been 15 years since I last watered my tulips.</p> | vkimo | Apr 18, 2020 | |
| 45417 | The Nintendo Switch - Your thoughts? | <p>looks like the coronavirus is <a href="https://www.mdcthereporter.com/how-the-coronavirus-is-affecting-production-of-the-nintendo-switch/">affecting the sales</a>, much like the delay of the PS5 release.</p> | Benjanime | Apr 17, 2020 | |
| 45416 | The Nintendo Switch - Your thoughts? | <p>Why is it so hard to find a Switch? Did they just not manufacture enough?</p> | Vaporman87 | Apr 17, 2020 | |
| 45415 | The Nintendo Switch - Your thoughts? | <p> </p> <p> </p> <blockquote rel="vkimo" style="display: inline-block !important;"><strong>vkimo wrote :</strong> <p><em>I've been trying to get one, they're sold out online...unless you want to pay like $200 over retail - Anyone know where to get one decently priced?</em></p> <br /> <strong>-end quote</strong></blockquote> <p> </p> <p>Haha, same. </p> <p>I bought one a year and a half ago. Returned it when I realized I wasn't going to have a lot of time to play it. And was about to need a lot of money for renovation. That project finally has an end in sight, and everywhere is sold out. Playstation and Xbox and TVs are still available... but no Switch :( </p> <p>It's not just online, either. I was in Target for cat food last week and they didn't have any full Switches. There were some Lites, though.</p> | shakin steak | Apr 17, 2020 | |
