R2D2 funny

[spacefire]

from bash.org:<br /><br /><BigPigPeaches /> So my GF and I are watching “The Empire Strikes Back” last night. Let me say that this is possibly my favorite movie of all time.<br /><BigPigPeaches /> But suddenly I consider: we have always thought of R2D2 as a light-hearted comic relief type of droid. With his tweets, chirps, raspberries, and whoops, how could he be anything other than cute?<br /><BigPigPeaches /> But what if people were misunderstanding what he is actually saying? What if he could be accurately translated? And what if he were saying things that weren’t cute at all? To wit:<br /><BigPigPeaches /> (The scene where Luke and R2D2 are leaving Hoth in Luke’s x-wing)<br /><BigPigPeaches /> Artoo: Hey, assclamp, where the hell are you hauling me?<br /><BigPigPeaches /> Luke: There’s nothing wrong, Artoo, I’m just setting a new course.<br /><BigPigPeaches /> Artoo: Oh, goodie. Are we going to see your dad? Cause you know he’s Darth Vader, right? I mean, you know that, otherwise you’re even more of a dumbass than I thought.<br /><BigPigPeaches /> Luke: We’re not going to regroup with the others.<br /><BigPigPeaches /> Artoo: That’s probably because they know what they’re doing, and you don’t.<br /><BigPigPeaches /> Luke: We’re going to the Dagobah system.<br /><BigPigPeaches /> Artoo: The Bagadouche system? What an appropriate destination for a douchebag such as yourself. Are you sure you don’t want me to fly? Cause I’ll bet you’re going to crash us into some godforsaken swampy bog, you mindless pube.<br /><BigPigPeaches /> (Later on in Cloud City, during the escape scene)<br /><BigPigPeaches /> 3PO: Artoo! Where have you been?<br /><BigPigPeaches /> Artoo: Listen, you bronzed &%$#@!, I’ve been dicking around in a frigging swamp for the better part of two weeks while some wannabe wizard has been taking advice from an ancient lizard. I got slime in my droid genitals, a bad yeast infection, and I’m not in the mood for your <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

That's pretty doggoned colorful.<br /><br />Maybe they'll do subtitles when they rerelease the movies again, eh?<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

Heh... You don't mind if I plagiarize this do you?

You know what? R2 does deserve an Oscar. Those folks should set up an award for best bot/droid/cgi character or whatever. Not just FX.
