I just got shipment notification on my Blu-ray, here’s hoping it makes it to my house a day or two before the 27th 😃

Best Buy? I just got mine too.

yep. i think TLJ got to my house a day earlier than the official release date, so i do have a small reason to hold out hope that this will as weill.

Dahmage’s new avatar is too small to see.

So you’re saying I didn’t make it small enough. I will try again tomorrow.

Frink, i disagree with your blanket dismissal.

I can actually enjoy Pacific Rim as a not very good movie, but entertaining. I plan to watch the new one when it makes it to Netflix or Amazon prime.

I cannot actually enjoy any Transformers movies.

My presence is diminishing around here lately.

I hate that they added Johnny Depp to the ride.

I’m going to go on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and scream at the animatronics like I have schizophrenia. It’s my form of protest.

Don’t forget to make a video of it. And also to film vertically.

Actually you shouldn’t film vertically. it might seem easier to hold your phone that way, but it is actually quite annoying to watch things that were filmed that way. There is a thing referred to as Vertical Video Syndrome and i fear you have it.

Both qBittorrent and rTorrent use libtorrent, but they use incompatible versions of it. (qBittorrent uses libtorrent-rasterbar and rTorrent uses libtorrent-rakshasa)

i have seen people use qBittorent on MySpleen.

rTorrent is very common on seedboxes, that is why you see so many people running it.

Theme parks were a lot better before they removed the guns.

Where is the thrill without the risk.

Film posters are not movies.
Theme parks are not movies.

Now I want to know, are film posters theme parks?

I don’t see why not.

My Audio still does not work.

what did you say?

Snow’s a-melting

The revival was sad indeed. I didn’t even bother with this last season.

Possessed said:

Lol I swear, this site. I’ve literally not seen anybody say anything about TLJ not looking good from as far as picture quality goes. Even people that didn’t like it. Of course the original trilogy blurays needed work, but I feel like that has turned people here into thinking no release of any film anywhere is good enough.

Did you see that sunset last night? I’mma regrade that too. Also your face. 😁

This is the most ridiculous thread i have seen in a while. Why exactly should we be up in arms that a them park, (mostly a child-hood affair) decided to not show rape as reason for humor?

They aren’t changing the history books last i checked.

Wait the Pirates of the Caribbean shows actual rape? I don’t remember that when I was on it.

In any case. I was not complaining about changing the ride, I was complaining about the removal of blasters from the Star Wars posters.

Are you just pretending not to get the point or do you really want me to explain it more.

That’s offensive.

Why does your picture not have a circle around it?

he has altered the circle.

Not sure where you’re getting that idea about Broom Boy™. I just presumed he has latent Force abilities that are just beginning to wake up and nobody around him has picked up on it yet. Just like that kid from Tatooine who was pretty good at Pod Racing. 😉
It’s not like anybody is actively looking for Force sensitive kids at this point, at least not yet.

I’m merely projecting my own biases. I like the original idea of the Force circa '77-'80 ie an energy field that can be tapped into by anyone with the discipline/openness to do so (I believe GL called it ‘space yoga’). Yes, there was the implication that Luke had somewhat inherited his Dad’s talent, but it was still ambiguous enough to a) not be a given and b) be a potential talent that still required serious training to bloom beyond good piloting instincts.

Anakin was of course an outgrowth of the genetic certainty presented in ROTJ via the shoehorned Leia revelation. The original ‘other’ was to be someone who had trained on the other side of the galaxy - ‘trained’ being the operative word. Leia’s sudden identity switch necessitated the idea of Skywalkers being a threat to the Emperor by birthright alone. So at this point Force abilities became more strictly genetic, and this led us down Midichlorian avenue.

Anakin was conceived by Midichlorians to fulfil a Jedi prophecy - all of which I find ridiculous, but he was still only displaying rudimentary prescience (in the form of dreams) and excellent reflexes. I just find levitating objects to be a little far-fetched, especially given Luke’s slow climb to levitation proficiency. Since TFA and TLJ seemed to be ducking the ‘chosen one’/Midichlorian thing and going back to the energy field, I thought they’d also preserve the discipline/space yoga side of the Force as well. Rey’s heaving boulders about the place and Broom Boy effortlessly summoning a broom conflict with the ideas presented in the OT in my opinion. I don’t think these powers should be so superhero-ish, given what we’ve seen before. They should be earned, not just appear like Marvel mutant abilities.

Yes, that is my view as well. I would like to add, that the OT and later the PT also made clear, that in developing these powers you inevitably will be tempted by the dark side, to choose the quick and easy path. That important Star Wars theme appears to have been jettisoned as well. There’s this weird scene, where Rey according to Luke didn’t even attempt to resist the dark side, but that element is never revisited, and appears to have no bearing on the rest of the plot. All the while Kylo is simply presented as a bad egg, who just needed a little prodding from his misguided master to become the monster he was meant to be, and Rey just instantly has these powers whenever she needs them, and all the while remains as good natured as ever.

I don’t know if i would say jettisoned, but i would agree they are doing something a bit different. doesn’t Rey seem to indicate a much more grey user of the force? It seems that it is the Jedi teaching that was the light vs dark, and Rey certainly hasn’t been steeped in that (yet). The entire interaction with her and Luke seems to be all about this. she does have the books however, and who knows what they will do in the next movie. Maybe she will embrace more of the Jedi way.

But i share your frustration that they don’t get very in depth on some of the topics brought up (grey; dark side vs light). Sadly, you can only cover so much in a movie, and it would be a bit strange if they got philosophical at the expense of action. But knowing star wars and all its other media presence (tv shows, books), not to mention all these new movie plans, hopefully some of these new themes will continue to be explored, as i am sure they will be.

Anyone see a track listing for the OT?

“complete with new artwork”

That’s not what I would consider art.
