People Who Refer To "Star Wars" as "Episode IV" or "A New Hope"

You think I'd willingly see a movie called "A New Hope?" It sounds like it should star Kirk Cameron and detail how all the ways I enjoy life are leading me to Hell. I'm not sure when the shift from Star Wars to Episode IV happened exactly, but I'm 99% sure that it wasn't until George Lucas started adding digital fart jokes into his movies as he always intended back in 1997, so we can probably call a moratorium on that garbaggio now, s'il vous plait.

    Is there anyone (other than Lucas) that actually does this?

    I, for one, refer to each and every film I intend to watch as A New Hope. Once I do so, I refer to them collectively as Left Behind.

    I like how the Star Wars geek is all gross, but Star Trek geeks are fucking tops at R3.

    Hey, it hasn't been 26 years since a good Star Trek film was released.

    Off topic: Those women aren't on the contributors list anymore. Was it the nerdiness, the neuroses and fragile egos, the combativeness or the vulgarity that drove them away?

    I know there's nothing better than imagining there is some large-scale drama going on behind the scenes at homespun review blog, but Glenn just cleaned house because it was clear they were never going to write. I'm sure they both forgot they were even on this thing. Nice life!

    While we're at it, can we get rid of Professor La Mercier, or is he tenured?

    When you're tenured, you can clean out your office and give away signed copies of colleagues' books and never teach again, but you still get paid.

    Don't worry, Professor La Mercier's just on sabbatical.

    Also, that's supposed to be a neckbeard. I also should have drawn Ron Paul '08 onto his shirt to complete the Star Wars Internet Nerd Zeitgeist.
