  • The Cinema is the Dark Side

    The cinema likes to show that it is keen on movies. As such every document, memo and directive has to have a quote from a film on it.

    Well tonight I recieved several refresher training documents. The quote on top of them was from The Empire Strikes Back.

    You do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover you power. Join me and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.
    So by completing my refresher training on burns, knives and fire extinguishers, I'm going to turn to the Dark Side and rule the galaxy?

    The duty manager is pretty tall and wears black. Hmm, his head is pretty shiny too. Maybe he is Darth Vader.

    Gotta wonder just how often these backfire. Seriously - do they not know that Darth is pretty much a bad guy?

    (Worse. They DO know. Kinda reminds me of my wife's place of work - any acceptance of corporate BS there is called "Drinking the Kool-aid." I kinda like "Embracing the Dark Side" more. )

        Could be, but I'd rather be a follower of Dark Helmet.

          I did once work for a smaller firm (with a sense of humour) who got swallowed up by a bigger one (largely without one). The codeword around the office was "You will be assimilated" every time a big-corporate initiative came down the pipe.

            At work, one of the systems I use is referred to as 'the dark side.' Mainly because the screen is white text on black backgrounds, but also because only a truly evil entity could have laid out some of the menus

              Except I think that specific quote is the one used by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to Anakin Skywalker. Vader's is slightly different.

                why is going to the Dark Side bad? They have cookies

                Also villians are just misunderstood. This coming from the villian girl, who would like to see the dragon in Fanstamic (Disney show at the parks) fire Mickey just once. Yes I am very evil

                  Nope, it's as Luke is hanging off the aeriel in the middle of the shaft in Bespin. Luke shouts, "I'll never join you, never." Vader then tells Luke he is his father and Luke throws himself off.

                    I worked crowd control for Fantasmic. I dreamed of seeing Mickey eaten. Over a hundred shows, never happened.

                      Right. Been a while since I saw Empire Strikes Back >.>
