Even though I’m good at most things, I have a math deficit due to me being on the spectrum which has restricted me to only being able to do the 1st-4th-grade math. This is making finding a job very frustrating.

What are your strengths?

playing Age Of Mythology

I wouldn’t put this on a resume.

Actually I’ve heard that game development is not an uncommon field for some high-functioning autistic people to go into. Maybe it could be relevant!

You guys are completely overlooking Dek’s argument. He’s not saying simply that it the Last Crusade wasn’t meant to have a sequel, but that the film was explicitly designed to preclude the plausibility of a sequel. While you can say the former about Star Wars, you cannot say the latter. Very different arguments.

Actually, you can definitely say that about Return of the Jedi.

EDIT: Frink beat me to it.

Did I say you couldn’t? (by Star Wars I mean SW77)

I don’t necessarily agree with Dek that this means there can’t ever be another IJ movie, but at least argue with him on the correct terms.

Do you agree, if I may ask?

No. I agree Skull sucked. But I’d be happy to watch a good Indi movie. I was skeptical of the idea of SW sequels b/c I felt the same way about ROTJ as you do about TLC, but the sequels have been so good I don’t care.

“Sean Connery was only ever in five Bond movies because You Only Live Twice was designed to be his last one.”

Star Wars is only three six movies because Return of the Jedi Revenge of the Sith was designed to be the last one.”

False equivalence. What in YOLT gets in the way of the possibility of another Connery movie? I don’t recall any Connery going off into the sunset moment. Indeed, the character remains alive and well.

PHASE [insert number]

???

Marvel movies are categorized into “phases.” Phase 1 is Iron Man through Avengers, Phase 2 is Iron Man 3 through Ant-Man, and Phase 3 is Captain America: Civil War through Avengers 4.

Apparently these covers put which phase each movie is in on the spine.

What? Lol

Anakin - ‘I killed them. I killed them all. They’re dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They’re like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I hate them!’

Padme looks on thinking something like… Yes, this is the man I want to spend my life with, and be the father of my children… (yet best keep this to myself - and be ready to feign ignorance and surprise if Obi-Wan finds out Anakin is an unhinged murdering butcher of unarmed men, women and children)
