Looking forward to it. I hope they keep the original theme music as well. The Aerosmith tune seems out of place here. I mean, this ain't "Armaggedon".

Darth Vader hasn't looked so good at a ribbon cutting ceremony since they rolled out the second Death Star.

"Star Wars" was always meant for the big screen. I once was awed by seeing a brief shot of a star destroyer moving across Tatooine on an IMAX screen. That was amazing, like being in space.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the classic worst film of all time, "Plan 9 From Outer Space" - of course it's a movie few people have ever seen:

That dude playing Darth Vader is huge. Ken Watanabe is a pretty tall man to begin with. The Last Samurai meets the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Cool pic, no pun intended. It does remind me of a set from Space:1999 though.

Famous Amos, the crispy, crunchy kind. Definitely not the gooey, soft "Country Ma'am" type. Cold glass of milk required.

Reminds me of that old Paul Simon song. "we are waltzing into Graceland..." Great bass line.

Huh? "Usefulness" is certainly a noun. "Useful" is an adjective though.
The program shouldn't be scrapped altogether -- just cut back and streamlined. And organized properly with specific goals for the participants and the local schools. Having thousands of young people in the prime of their intellectual creativity and physical stamina simply marking time studying Japanese and playing the human tape recorder is not the way to go. JET has been useful as a "way into" Japan for young people seeking bigger and better opportunities. But it shouldn't only be that.

This is sure to appeal to a certain demographic group, I guess: 40-something ladies who remember the original movie and are now into Korean dramas. It's the ultimate fantasy for J-women: a good-looking guy who disappears at the snap of a finger when he gets boring.

The Japanese version of "Ghost"--you know "Flashdance" is just waiting in the wings. Oh, what a feeling.
