Check out this fan fix of the turtle's look.
I wish Michael Bay checks it out.

Gone are the nostrils and lips. Back: the iconic look.

What the fuuuuuck.

History happens, good or bad, it happens. Stop talking about it like it's some pattern that repeats itself and for which can you decide a better outcome for it. It doesn't and you can't -- it just seems that way because we're only invested in the patterns that appeal most to our world view.

You see what you want and then you justify your world view by what you see.

God, who the fuck cares if Lincoln was good or bad, he's an icon. He was assassinated so he paid his dues. What does America represent? White occupation of native land or saving the world from the nazis? It represents freedom, even if it falls short of its own ideals. It's in your head. It always is. Go watch more Game of Thrones. (JK, but frealz yo.)

He also had a sweet beard.

And a sweet hat.

The first time I looked at Saturn through a telescope I was struck by the fact that at this magnitude it looks like an icon of Saturn cut out of paper, not the actual Saturn.

And why was it a military base? Because all those "founding fathers" who poured a butt load of money into PT were in danger of losing it all when Seattle got port status instead of us. Those "founding fathers" still had lots of pull in Washington DC, so they got the Fort put here to prop up the local economy. And now it is a State Park -- one of the few that actually doesn't need any tax funds to stay open -- it actually makes a profit.

Plus there are wonderful bunkers to play in. And walks to take through the woods.

Have you ever seen An Officer and a Gentleman, with Richard Gere and Debra Winger? That was filmed here. All the base scenes were filmed at Fort Worden. A couple of years before I got here. You could tell which buildings were used in scenes -- or rather, which SIDES of buildings were used in scenes. They repainted the buildings a pristine white -- if they were in camera view. So the backsides were all peeling and nasty.

That was before the Fort started making money, of course. All the sides of the buildings look nice now.

You can see the Fort at :57, 1:05,1:52 and the iconic 2:06. All a brisk 15 minute walk from my house. Look out my kitchen window, and you can see the tree covered hill that is the Fort. (The jogging scene at :38 is on the other side of the hill - sheer bluffs to the water.)

It is indeed a very neat place. You watch that movie, come over here, and I'll give you a tour, okay?

It continually boggles the mind how they got these movies so wrong.

I honestly can't understand how you can fuck this up, but somehow they did.
Even at a very simple design level, it fails utterly.

Seriously, look at this and tell me which side is more iconic, which is more easily identifiable in an action scene.

There is a god, and he's sniping inflatable icons from a parade-route window....

Way to slam them ivories onna iconic tune, hell yeahs!
*goes looking for shabby xmas tree...

Very cool. So, there's this story that when Lucas washed the rushes (early film edits) without music, he thought he had a total dud on his hands---it was after the iconic John Williams' musical score was added, that it suddenly fleshed out into the space opera that we know and love so much...

I wish Episodes I,II, and a good chunk of III hadn't, uh, gone astray (Jar Jar Binks must die!)---and Ewoks???
Sigh.

Still, Star Wars...

Vai: I thought the same thing. Most people don't know him though. He's a virtuoso, but not a pop-culture icon for his music (unfortunately). A good example being that I grew up with all of this music, and while I know the name of David Gillmour, even I would have to go look him up to remind myself of his work.

Please remove the word "iconic" from the English language. That word has come out of nowhere to become the latest must-use hipster word. Everyone and everything that is remotely recognizable by two people now gets referred to as iconic.

If something is famous then why do we need a word to remind us that it's famous?
