Star vs Star

There are 2 massive franchises which inevitably have geek fans ready to pull a laser sword or set a phaso-gun from stun to kill in order to defend it as the best space/other-planet movie series. Truth be told, they are much more than that, but these blogs can’t go on forever, so let me be clear. I will not pick a stance on which one is better and I will tell you why. Feel free to disagree, but as you may have experienced when arguing with a sci-fi nerd, you won’t change my mind. In the big scheme of life, it doesn’t matter. Whether you prefer hokey religions or logical reasoning, there is something in both franchises for everyone. First off, you have aliens and robots (an android is a robot, shut up). Who doesn’t love aliens and robots? The unenlightened and unimaginative, that’s who. Second, there’s conflict and drama. Lot’s of it. Seriously messed up conflict in fact. Spoilers coming, but if you haven’t seen these movies, I have no qualms ruining something you waited too long to see anyway. Sister kissing, dad-hating, alien buggering (I’m not British, but trying to keep the language relatively clean), and more. If you aren’t nodding your head in agreement right now, either you missed these details or you don’t know the good stuff from Gagh. Third, insta-memes. Scenes from these movies or tv shows are so memorable, they automagically (RIP Biz Markie) invoke an emotion. An easy way to express the feeling is to use the scene with added text to express an experience. For example, ever take the time to make the perfect taco just to drop it before tasting the awesome? Insert losing a hand….NOOOOooooooo! You get my point. If you don’t, how about leaving the taco on the plate and getting up to get a drink only to see your dog eating that taco? KKKHHAAANNN!!!(or insert your pet’s name). So, to sum up. Buy a fun shirt, make a taco, defend it, eat the taco, watch Star ____ and enjoy.
