<p dir="ltr">Ever since I got the tablet, I don't use my computer all that often. And I type a lot slower on the tablet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Which makes typing movie reviews on the tablet kind annoying.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, I'm watching Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark. But are you find head about it?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Nope.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And the fact that I'm probably gonna watch Sharknado 2 shortly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sucks to be y'all, I guess.</p>
<p dir="ltr">(And I figure it is apt that the drawing accompanying this post is appropriately crappy)</p>

Genre: Movies/Action. Year: 2014</p>
<p dir="ltr">And then a giant mechanical T rex appears. On the moon...  apparently made by the Japanese. For some reason.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Seemed to be a regular moon based sci-fi movie up until this point. Beginning was very reminiscent of 2001.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Surprisingly <u>decent</u> for a Syfy original movie.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And then it just ended... uh...<br>

Never seen those before.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Yesterday's had the adult male figure as Han Solo, and the female figure was A New Hope vintage Leia (white dress and stereotypical Princess Leia hair buns). The children were miniature stormtroopers. A miniature AT-AT presumably represented a dog or other household pet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Today's went with a different theme. I only saw this one for a very short time, so I was only able to identify four of the five figures. No dog this time. Children represented by ewoks. I was unable to identify the medium sized figure in the time allotted. Presumably a teenager or something. Adult female was Jabba's palace vintage Leia. Adult male was A New Hope vintage Luke.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I can understand both children types. The obvious "a little short for a stormtrooper" gag on one hand, and the representation of children as small fuzzy critters on the other. The AT-AT dog was pretty humorous too</p>
<p dir="ltr">WAIT A MINUTE! Who in their right mind would equate themselves (presumably a husband and wife pair) with Princess Leia at her most scantily clad (yeah, that's what I meant by Jabba's palace) and her brother.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I guess both representations are from when the character does not know of the family relationship. Not sure if that makes it better or worse.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Pretty sure it is worse.</p>
<p dir="ltr">(I was considering tacking "And Unwitting Incest" onto the end of the title, but decided I didn't want to give away the twist ending)</p>
