Who would have thought that Star Wars can bring two people together, even celebrities themselves like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Love at first sight can be fictional for some but in this case, it holds true for Kim and Kanye when wearing fictional garbs. Who can blame a guy seeing a girl dressed up as Princess Leia, in the same costume she wore when she was captured by Jabba the Hut?

Kim posted online, "Happy Star Wars Day!" which also includes a photo of her and Kanye West costumed in a full-on Star Wars attire during the premiere of the much-awaited…
Winnit wanted to put up a statue to show his religion, but he put it right in front of another religious statue. Official take it down thus making Winnit mad, so he files a lawsuit demanding to put it back up.

Section A: One of the primary conflicts in Blade Runner is trying to identify real humans versus “replicants” (this is a challenge both for characters in the film and the film’s viewers). Without an identifier or test to determine who is human, how do we determine what makes a human “human”? Or what makes someone inhuman” (a monster)? How do you think Viktor Frankenstein would answer these questions? When we think of replicants, in movies or in books, we make them in our image.…
