LISTENERS: I want your help! As stated on this week's episode, I want you to email 1-5 questions about the original Star Wars trilogy to reporterjason@gmail.com, and I would need them in the next 48 hours!
Don't be shy. Also, if your question(s) are/is used, you get a credit on the show. Just ask Ryan. He sent me the awesome question this week about Jurassic Park dinosaurs.
Star Wars trivia???? PUT ME IN COACH. There has been a distinct lack of guests as of late!
My SW knowledge is aged like a fine wine. I read a good 20 expanded universe books in the late '90s and played a ton of Star Wars CCG, filling me with useless knowledge and names of characters that had 2 frames of screen time. I have gone nearly cold turkey though and would love to see how much my mind has retained.
I'm getting lots of questions submitted, but very few so far from mah forum buddies. I am keeping five slots open for you.
And by "you," I mean YOU. Send me some Star Wars original trilogy questions for the podcast to reporterjason@gmail.com or atw9k@simplysyndicated.com, along with your meatspace name. I need them tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry Jason. I thought about coming up with some questions and realized that I have nothing I could ask about Star Wars. I could have gone to wikipedia and imdb just to find some questions, but what's the point then. I believe that some part of the question, even if it's just a vague idea should come from within.
I'm just going to put this out here where we can all see it.
I really, really dislike the new opener. It hurts me deep inside. It turned me off the show so violently I haven't even listened to the latest episode yet, and I like this show so much I listen to it the moment it pops into my feed instead of waiting to get on the bus.

I am loving the poster art they choose to display next to movies on this site.
Yeah, they seem to get as many posters as they can from every country for each movie. I think it helps you judge the movie instead of the poster. Also, I really want prints of some of them.
After glancing at Scott's, I wish The Matrix were higher on my list. This is something that I worked hard to suppress while ranking; I have to wonder how much bias plays into the system.
Also, it's slightly irksome that in 1,600 ranks, The Godfather has only popped up like three times while Transformers II has shown up like 43 times.
@Matt: We were going to talk about the poster art on the show, but we totally forgot.

I ranked a whole bunch. Then I forcefully ranked a bunch of movies that I felt were out of place because they did not show up enough times, or showed up too many times. I also had to forcefully rank a bunch of movies that never showed up at all.
I tried to avoid searching for specific movies to rank so that there would be no self-selected bias. I wanted to see how well the system would work vanilla. Looking at my top 20, it's not bad. It's just not perfect. And it breaks down more and more the further down the rankings you go.

A lot of movies that I really like are foreign and obscure, so they would never show up if I didn't force it. And there are still some that weren't even in the database at all, like Bayside Shakedown. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210199/
I am going to have to watch this Bayside Shakedown. They had Bayside Shakedown III playing on my flight back home from Japan last year and it looked awesome.

Here is the correct viewing order for maximum awesome:
Don't worry. It's OK to watch the first movie without seeing anything else. That's the first thing I ever saw. I still have yet to see some of the OAVs and specials because I can't find subs.
Because sharing these things seems to be a thing we do now, here's mine. http://www.flickchart.com/Charts.aspx?user=Apsup Finally watched The Shawshank Redemption because that sites list of shame. Also it seems that I will be finally watching Godfather this weekend, has been on my computer for ages, but never got around watching it.

And Scott, March Madness does not apply to ice puck stick, but good for them. I already knew this from seeing trogdor post it on the FBs.
