Fumbling Toward Valhalla

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.

Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?

Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.

Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.

Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!

Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...

Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!

Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Ah, Ghostbusters. And now, the videos.




And a nice English wigout courtesy of everyone's favourite Caped Crusader. Now with dance music!

God and the Soldier

God and the soldier
All men adore
In time of trouble,
And no more;
For when war is over
And all things righted,
God is neglected -
The old soldier slighted.

Keep up the good fight, brothers.

Thanks to boiledpeanut for the link! I don't know how many hours I spent trying to mix tapes when I was a kid. I still spend hours on playlists and burnt CD's.

Thanks to Kali Nichta for tipping me off to this whole series.

By way of reply to Sinnick, a rebuttal to his review of The Dark Knight which got too wordy to be a comment in his journal. May contain spoilers and peanuts.

Anyone remember this tune?

For Mattie.

So the song which provides the backdrop for this post is by a Japanese hip-hop duo who perform in English and have a very Beastie-Boys New York City vibe about them. Small and cute and round, they bust out rhymes consisting of.. well, whatever rhymes. The backdrop for this song is this big, 'City of the Future' piece of sonic architecture, the sort of music designed to be impressive and awesome and representative of a bold, new, utopian future. Or so it seems to me.

What's that? This isn't about Jedi at all, you say? Keep your pants on (1), I'm getting to it.... anyway. Cibo Matto manage to reference Obi-Wan Kenobi twice over the course of the song, which I figure isn't bad for a couple of Japanese chicks who really don't have much concern beyond making it rhyme. Which sparked a conversation with a friend online this morning, regarding the Jedi and their relevance.

That's it? That's your big fuckin' Jedi reference? Dude. Weak.

Holy Gosh! Have patience, I'm getting to it. So, it happens that I have, as a geek of my times, several theories on various Jedi personages which I now feel compelled to share with you, my unsuspecting readership. Sit ye back and gaze in wild wonder as my Jedi theories roll out here, just like thunder. (2)
