this is allegedly a reprint of a post that was flagged and removed on craigslist.

flagged? HELL NO. i would vote BEST OF CRAIGSLIST. (hopefully the violence was overstated. the rest of it is hilarious.)

This is quite a lovely little work of art; it covers all the bases and has a perfect, and literal, punch line.

For some reason the violence and hilarity remind me of my ongoing argument that somewhere about 2/3 of the way through "Return of the Jedi" George Lucas lost his nerve for what makes a heroic adventure heroic and has fucked up ever since. It is not, actually, a world of teddy bears and robots; you can't really address the emotions if you pretend pain and danger don't exist.

these are among the reasons why "empire strikes back" is a far better film than "return of the jedi"
