quote:Should we know this bartender? I've never seen a movie with a bartender discussing movie details, nor have I seen a bartender picking out auto-parts to rice out his car with, obstinately rejecting these wind-flaps.
Uh, Nim, remember the scene in Star Wars when Ponda Baba pulls a blaster and the bartender dives under the counter shouting "No blasters, no blasters!" as Obi-Wan ignites his light-saber and slices Ponda Babe into deli sized portions?

In fairness to Nim, I think I may have misused the word "paraphrase." But yes, that is what I was thinking of.
And Sol, thanks for the quote! I can't wait to use it in the SWG forums.

I never heard the "no blasters"-line, just Ponda's angry bellowing and Kenobi's igniting saber. Tell you what though, I may be able to check it out on the new DVDs this weekend, my favorite shop is selling the box for 499 Kronor (67$), quite doable.

Ha ha. I got mine for $44.03 flat with my Target employee discount. But even without it it would only have been $44.99 plus tax. Then i went to Borders and laughed at their $67 price tag. I rule.

Someone told me that Meijer is selling it for $44, too. For those of you not from the Northern Midwest, USA, Meijer is like a regional version of Super Wal-Mart. Except better.

No, it's 10%. You have to remember that sales tax in California is up to 8.75 cents on the dollar now. Man, does that suck. But that's why the employee discount is nice.
