Out of the Blue

MrsBlue and I are currently working through a disagreement over whether to get a portable air conditioner. For ten years now we've been able to get by with only one AC unit, which is up in my office, relying on the high ceilings, ceiling fans, and other elements that keep the house bearable in the summer. This current heatwave has finally got me willing to give in on this, but as has been repeatedly demonstrated, my willpower pales in comparison with my better half's as she is remaining stubbornly steadfast in her refusal to consider this.

Lucas has denied this was ever in the movie but back then it could have been in some of the reels without him even knowing about it. There was also a scene where Luke and Leia are about to swing across the chasm in the Death Star, she says "for luck" and they full on kiss on the lips. Subsequent versions just has her saying "for luck" but they cut out the kissing part. I've never seen Luke staring at the Star Destroyer/Corvette battle, but Leia DEFINITELY kissed Luke right before they're about to swing across the chasm. It never made any fucking sense that he took that out. Of course, 99% of the edits in scenes in the Special Edition made no fucking sense. Han shooting second is just retarded (it turns him into a pussy instead of a bad-ass), and pretty much the whole dialogue between Luke and R2 on Dagobah got reworked for absolutely NO FUCKING REASON whatsoever. I liked the digital fixing of the battle scenes and such, but all the pisspoor hackjobs in dialogue were just retarded. Fucking George Lucas. Creston
