when i was really young and hadn't heard the word 'before' to mean 'in front of' i thought that the phrase 'pearls before swine' was a like, reverse 'bros before hoes' sorta saying and couldn't understand why they named a newspaper comic that when it was mostly about making bad puns

Miranda, walking into the Ares cabin: What're you two watching? Clarisse, not looking away from the screen: Hockey. Miranda: I didn't know you liked hockey. Sherman: Oh, we love hockey. Except for those boring interludes where they skate around trying to hit the black thing. Miranda: ...you mean the puck. Clarisse, screaming at the television: FIGHT, YOU TIME-WASTING FIGURE SKATERS, FIGHT!

"Over a decade after its release, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) still stands out as George Lucas’s summative and most masterful artistic statement. I use the word “summative” deliberately, because Sith incorporates a broad cinematic heritage, and also draws from Lucas’s own interests in narrative/illustrative art, architecture, world religion and mythology, anthropology, philosophy, pedagogy, and even race-car driving. In finding a tonally and visually radical common ground for these fixations, the film also addresses and subverts the director’s own oeuvre; and, as has always been the case with Star Wars, Sith contends with the poles of past and future, searching for (and sometimes grappling with) the space between. Of course, the Star Wars saga has always been anachronistic, employing science fiction iconography while also pulling famously from Joseph Campbell’s theory of monomythic commonalities in world narratives; the original film, released in 1977, also acted as a gateway to a commercial future, opening the floodgates (along with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws [1975]) for a new kind of American blockbuster cinema. However, while Lucas and Spielberg offered auteurist statements on genre that were also fortunate enough to generate mass appeal, the majority of big-budget fare has since become studio-incubated and sanctioned by market control groups, resulting in films that are often devoid of passion for cinematic language. Ironically and sadly enough, this can certainly be said of J. J. Abrams’s insipid The Force Awakens (2015), a reactionary attempt to conserve a falsely utopic view of the saga’s origins."
