	The Bynk Zone: I hates Lucas! I hates it forever!
		Thanks to George's appalling lack of subtlety and talent, one of the great embodiments of screen evil is now the lame embodiment of an over-privileged teen trust kid who had to settle for a stock Benz on their birthday instead of the AMG model.
		Lucas' explanation that they're old men and cripples works in this situation, but in reality, we know that it was merely a lack of vision in the melee-combat department.
		Because no matter what Lucas does, it'll never be the same: they'll never be young and impressionable again, walking innocently into an old analog theatre to see a movie that, although they didn't know it in the five minutes before they saw it, would change their lives forever within the first half hour.
