I think I realize why so many people don’t like The Last Jedi.

It smirks.

For all of it’s faults, The Force Awakens doesn’t try to be clever. It doesn’t smirk; it’s earnest.

Of course, The Rise of Skywalker is the worst of both worlds as neither clever nor earnest.

I didn’t get that vibe from TLJ. It’s the only one of the ST I genuinely like.

As someone who’s had the misfortune of being one of those losers who can’t get laid in their personal lives, I lament the fact that the term “incel” has become synonymous with “bitter misogynist virgin who blames women for all his problems”.

Especially galling when you know that the OG incel was a lovelorn woman who created the community in the hopes of helping others suffering the same predicament.

Yes. A sad perversion of a once noble intention.

As someone who’s had the misfortune of being one of those losers who can’t get laid in their personal lives, I lament the fact that the term “incel” has become synonymous with “bitter misogynist virgin who blames women for all his problems”.

I only had sex once in my entire life (with a prostitute). Honestly I didn’t find much of a difference between sex with a prostitute and masturbating, and I did it in the hopes that this would open the doors for me to a sexually active life. It didn’t turn out to be so, and I’ve struggled my entire adult life to hook up with women.

The fact that I had to pay for that one time and have had the shittiest luck imaginable with women has really fucked with my head. Am I really so undesirable that paying for sex is my only real option?

However, I don’t hate any women nor do I blame them for not wanting me. I just feel this mix of frustration, anger and bitterness over never experiencing consensual sex with a woman who lusts after me as much as I lust after her. I really want to experience such reciprocity.

not sure about sabine being a jedi its as never a thing on rebels

It’s been previously established that people who aren’t Force sensitive can still learn to competently wield lightsabers with enough practice. There were a few episodes in which Kanan taught Sabine how to effectively wield the Darksaber, and if I’m not mistaken she’s kept Ezra’s green lightsaber.

Alien Resurrection. A film so awful i almost feel bad for my negative rating of Alien 3. Clearly a superior film.

The only thing i will say is Brad Dourif comes off as creepy in it. But the whole thing looks so cheaply made.

At times Alien Resurrection feels like a made-for-TV movie. I also believe humans have had their lung capacity enhanced in this future, because of how lengthy the underwater sequence is in addition to all the exertions such as all the weight they’re carrying and being chased by the xenomorphs.

I’m sorry, but I just can’t get behind an elderly Christopher Walken as the Emperor.

Why not?

In the book the Emperor is described as looking no older than 35 despite being in his seventies. However all three adaptations have for some reason had the Emperor portrayed by much older actors, though in the 2000 miniseries’ defence they aged up the Emperor and said he was 200 years old. I want to see a Dune adaptation that is faithful to the book in that one particular aspect and finally casts an actor in his late thirties to early forties as the Emperor to convey the whole point of the rejuvenating effects of the Spice. Either one of Damien Lewis or Michael Fassbender would have been perfect in the role.

Don’t tell me it can’t be done! Cate Blanchett portrayed 3000-year-old Galadriel and we totally bought that she was that old.

What do you think of The Prequel Trilogy? A general discussion.

JadedSkywalker said:

Yoda should have been Obi-Wan’s Master and instructor in the ways of the Jedi. When Obi-Wan contacts Luke as a spectral force ghost he says to go to Dagobah to be trained by the Jedi Master who trained him. He doesn’t say well Luke contact Qui-Gon’s ghost he was my master he will teach you the ways of the force.

I suspect Force Ghosts can only interact with those who met them in life, which is why Obi-Wan pointed Luke in Yoda’s direction, also why waste time mentioning a long deceased Jedi Master who is irrelevant to Luke?

I still wonder what happened to Revan. In the unmade Kotor 3. I don’t accept the story they gave us in the book and in the old republic. It doesn’t fit with the story of Kotor 2 the Sith Lords.

Kotor I was very familiar to the original film Star Wars, it wasn’t as original as II.The Revan twist was the only really novel thing about it.

My biggest pet peeve with SW:TOR is how, apart from having the Exile show up as a Force Ghost, it otherwise pretends KotOR II never happened.

Avatar: The Way of Water.

Didn’t care about what was happening until the 49 min mark. From there until the 2 hr 15 min I really loved it, but once the final battle begins I went back to not caring about the movie.

So basically I loved about one hour and twenty minutes of the movie. Honestly if it had just been 3 hours of Pandora’s marine life it would have been perfect, as I’m a sucker for marine life.

Kotor I is a classic. Sadly Kotor II I never could get past the first world.

The first world is a chore, no doubt about that. But the rest of the game is totally worth it. Be sure to install TSLRCM and give the game a second chance, you won’t regret it.

Is the app version smoother? I had a glitch where I could not complete the main story quest.

Don’t know. I’ve only ever played it on PC.
