Yes. That is, actually, PRECISELY who I meant.
I had a minor tiff with someone on LJ a few eeks back about how Gonk was the awesomest Star Wars character ever, even beating Han Solo.
And why NOT a Church of Gonk, dammit?!?

Cartman: I kinda meant a paradigm shift in our *total* worldview, not in science. Something what would tip science itself on its ass. It's *possible*...or maybe I just love the Ancients too much

I don't know why I posted that. Seemed like a good idea at the time...

Well...yeah. What part of the trailer misled you into thinking it would not suck?
But I cant point fingers: I paid to see Aliens Vs. Predator.

I went with a woman that's a big Aliens fan. I had stupidly mentioned how great the comic book AVP had been and thus, not only did I spring for our tickets, I had to go into how completely they'd changed the premise into that pile of crap.

I didn't think The Core was a bad movie, surely not Academy Award material, but it's a decent waste of time.
I saw AVP in theatre's, but I didn't have to pay for my ticket, Haha. Wasn't really my cup of tea, but it was better than the alternative.

No- it was just two people watching a truly awful movie.

I think I know why The Core sucked. The TBG (Token Black Guy) died. Everyone knows never to kill the TBG!

I had an R5-D4 toy when I was a kid. It was magnificent. Wierdly though, I had no R2-D2.
