Han Solo, P. I.

Continuing with the pop culture movie theme (and two of my favorite childhood memories), it appears that Solo and Magnum are indeed long lost brothers. Of course, it would have made flying through space a lot tougher if they had to keep the Millenium Falcon's top down to accommodate Chewbacca's furry melon. Did you ever notice that Magnum never drives the Ferrari with the top closed? Selleck's a tall guy:

God bless James Webb! This is fucking fantastic. Is it okay to mention I was quite depressed when the final Magnum aired? I'm not sure I would equate Rick and Luke, even if they both have 4 letter names with a "k", but no matter. And why does the black guy have to get paired with the wookie? I don't see no wookie flyin' a whirlee-bird!! (is there a correct way to spell that?) Maybe that douche over at American Power (or whatever the f his site is) can start talking about how he knew the Hawaiian crew sooooo much better.

Going back a few posts, the Resevoir Dogs bit was grea too, even if Keitel got a bit short-changed in the comparison.

I knew you'd love the Magnum shit, BD. And I think the black dude/wookie comparison holds water: they're both pilots, yo. But Rick definitely got more pussy than Luke (he wasted a lot of time working on his own sister; almost always a dry well).
