^Yeah, McD is pretty good throughout much of ROTS but when he dials it up to eleven it’s more watchable than most of the rest of the movie.
FTFM
I wish the more utilitarian uniforms and colour palette from “The Cage”/“Where No Man Has Gone Before” had been retained in TOS proper. I really don’t care for the garish Technicolor sets or those unprofessional-looking mini-dresses the ladies had to wear.

I went outside a couple minutes ago to spray the yellowjacket nests accumulating against the south wall of my house, and I found an ant hill in the grass. It was a pretty good-size ant hill, with lots of large red-and-black ants everywhere. One of them was dragging along the abdomen of a yellowjacket. It was pretty cool.

He probably had one of his parents set it up for him. And Club Penguin wouldn’t have been worth it. When I was little that’s what a lot of other kids at my school were playing, but it was just dumb.
Yeah, it was dumb. I played it all the time, but it was dumb. The site shut down recently and I actually logged in for the first time in many years on the last day just for old times’ sake.
If you have a remote control handy, I equally love and hate the first D&D movie.
On the one hand it’s an insult to the game (though a bizarrely accurate portrayal of what people think the game looks like if they overheard a session of play)
On the other hand, Jeremy Irons chewing the scenery. YAtatatatatataaa~
You said D&D movie and I thought of this instead.
When I was little, I learned the days of the week to the tune of the Addams Family theme song.
I finally finished Dune! It was great. Are any of the sequels worth reading?
Username: I’ve used this on everything for years. Don’t remember exactly how I thought of it, but it was probably something dumb.
Avatar: Currently Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures album, just because I’ve listened to it a lot lately.
Signature: Line from “New Dawn Fades,” a song on the aforementioned album.
Look at you guys, ranking Rogue One with the main movies and not just counting it as an EU movie mostly to avoid comparing it with TFA and choosing which one you really like more.
How many of you have done a Rogue One - A New Hope back-to-back viewing? I very much want to do so sometime in May if i can find the time, but i am curious if those who have done so think it is worth it? (watching a movie is pretty easy to find time for, but watching two in a row takes a bit more ‘convincing’).
It’s great. I planned a big R1-OT-TFA marathon the weekend after the blu ray came out, but I didn’t have time for all of them and my ROTJ DE disc was scratched (it’s been replaced since then), so I only got those two. It was a lot of fun to watch those two back to back though, imagining Krennic belonging in one of those boardroom chairs, seeing Alderaan annihilated after the previous smaller blasts on Jedha and Scarif, things like that.
Another great episode. I loved the appearance from the god squad.
I also wonder if angry red ghost Jack is the same as angry blue ghost Jack? Red ghost claims to be the reason Jack’s still alive, and blue ghost claimed Jack would be better off dead, so I think they might be entirely seperate hallucinatory entities. Just a thought.
I’ve been falling in and out of sleep all morning and having many different dreams. One of which involved Bibleman fighting Transformers.
I used to have tremendous respect for Bill Nye. Then I watched this and this.
It’s amazing how one can take credibility built up over decades and flush it all down the crapper in the blink of an eye.
Exactly. I planned on watching some of the new series at some point, given my fond memories of the tapes my elementary school teachers would play. Then, I saw that first clip on twitter the other day and cringed into a new, darker plane of existence.
EDIT: I clicked the second link out of morbid curiosity, and backed out immediately upon reading the title.
I never was a faceless account. I picked out this awesome picture for my avatar before ever posting IIRC.
Hey, all in favor of me going back to that say aye!
Or don’t…
I’ll probably do it anyway…
I did the markdown thing.
I liked the first one. I haven’t read the rest yet.
Looks like he’s strangling Rey.
O boy, how have I not noticed this thread before?

I would list my comic inventory, since that’s just a matter of copy/pasting, but methinks this post is long enough without ~150 comic books.
Idiot changeling bounty hunter from AOTC.
The Earth setting was holding them back, and I’m glad they’ve ditched Earth and Thor’s bland human friends.
What are you talking about, Darryl is awesome!
I recant. Thor has one good non-super human friend.
The New Spiderman movie will almost certainly be better than the last two terribad ones. I still can’t believe they had a bad guy who basically looked like he was wearing a bad rubber lizard suit from an old Godzilla movie.
Yeah, I wasn’t a big fan of that second trailer, but surely it can’t be worse than the “Amazing” predecessors.
Mind you, I’m not sure any Spider-Man movie is likely to best the first Raimi one, simply because that one has stuff like this. Sure, it’s goofy as hell, but it’s more creative than anything I’ve seen in a comic movie since, and actually feels like something that would be in a comic.
But I digress, I’m sure Homecoming will be fine. After that Ragnarok trailer, I’m suddenly far more interested in Thor, whose previous movies were incredibly dull. The Earth setting was holding them back, and I’m glad they’ve ditched Earth and Thor’s bland human friends.
I wonder how a battle between two death stars would play out.
pls tag as last jed spoilers pls
I’ve been sorting my comics alphabetically by title for a while, but I’m considering rearranging all the Superman books to chronological reading order.
Like, release order? That would make sense. I imagine internal chronology would be impossible to do.
Yeah that’s mostly what I meant, but without splitting up multi-issue story arcs within one book (basing it on the release of the first part of a given arc).
