Ah, ok, I thought you'd taken it from google or something... well, hail to evolution and all that :)

Pedocat... the new meme.

Huh?...Where did that come from. Did somebody say something about chins somewhere?

Weird.

;)

 

------sticking to my pledge.

This is not sticking to the pledge.

Neither is this.

Doesn't change my irrelevant point.

As for Kristin Kreuk, can't really bring myself to find her hot after Smallville ;)

How is evil a religious term?

Ah, if the chin thing was an inside joke from past posts, I didn't get it...as you can tell lol. i haven't been in off topic long enough to get those.

If it's not, still dont get it but wonder, why the hell are you looking at her chin?! It's like making a comment about the pick-up truck! Yeah there is a pick up truck there somewhere lol

Why, why is this so impossible to get?

If you're gonna claim with certainty that someone has a "natural beauty", you need to know for certain that the beauty has in no way been "helped along" by any artificial means such as facial operations (chin augmentation being a common and less problematic one, in the cases of receding chins - it was just an EXAMPLE).

Otherwise, what's the point in claiming that someone is "naturally" beautiful?

I'm of the belief that there are no evil people, only evil acts

That's a common cliché, but it isn't accurate - some people's minds ARE wired in a way that drives them to do evil all the time.

They may still be "some good" in them, just as the Hamas do charitable work, but that doesn't change the fact that the "evil" is a fundamental part of their personality.

This is like saying there are no insane people, only cognitive delusions. No talented musicians, just good albums. Makes any sense?

What makes people do things defined as evil (and not everyone is agreed on what is evil) are numerous and complex.

Sadism and lack of empathy being two of them.

And now you're doing it yourself :DTo struggle to avoid evil, to struggle to do good even at personal cost and even if you fail, that's human.

To struggle to avoid evil, to struggle to do good even at personal cost and even if you fail, that's human.

he birds they kill.

Evil is human nature doing things you and probably others don't like.

So if I don't like you wearing a goatee, does it justify me saying it's evil?

To call that not human is to miss the problem of evil.

Yea, it's a Scotsman fallacy - it doesn't hold up logically, obviously, but I still accept that sentiment as an expression of sane idealism (which is admirable until it gets too wide-eyed and reality-denying).

To struggle to avoid evil, to struggle to do good even at personal cost and even if you fail, that's human.

Just wondering, are there cases where any doubt can be practically ruled out? ESPECIALLY if the criminal admits his guilt (as it happens often)?

Would it be fair to introduce such punishments just for those cases, with the more dubious wrongdoers getting off lightly?

Why not?

Oh Jesus...

It's not natural if she'd had a chin augmentation prior to that ;)

I certainly don't want a world for my kids in which the PT is considered Star Wars gospel.

They shouldn't consider ANYTHING as "gospel", including the OT.
That settles it - you're a weirdo.


it's that I think the PT lessens one's ability to enjoy the OT.
For a weak mind, probably.



It's not my business to try to mold them into the type of Star Wars fan I want them to be.  To do so would be a tad insane IMO.

After my little sister and I finish up Episode II this Saturday, I'll never put the PT on for her to watch again.  Episode III was PG-13 anyway.  Nothing but the OOT from now on.

Most awesome sequence of posts EVER.

The little runt started it !...And I aim to finish it.

 

Anyway:

Looks like CGI..

Ok, hate to hijack the thread, but HOW THE HOLY FUCK DOES THIS FIT TOGETHER SO WELL??

Pretty fucking good, then :D

Thanks for the info! Kinda can't tell it from the sound... but yea, I quite like it that way.

Do you think it's a good idea that they made the droid leader's voice and lightsabers match the synth-string's pitch?

On the second link, I guess I still prefer Jar Jar's introduction to be less epic, but it's quite okay :)

Might be an editing issue, but at the beginning of the invasion sequence, I quite like how, in the movie, the ships fly by the camera with nothing but percussion (the combination with the engine glissando doe sit) accompanying the scene, the orchestra joining only after the shot.

Aside from those, can't pinpoint any differences to the original atm... :)

Nah, I think there was some kind of high-pitched G-string... err... strings playing a high G or something?
I remember it because when the lightsabers light up, they start buzzing at the same note... although it'd be funny if I remembered it wrong :D


But yea, the lack of loud music is better for the suspense, as well :)

I just read the last 2 pages, and... LOL at Warbler. Just LOL.

The "Gas Leak" scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=590dquz3kPQ&feature=player_embedded

Blimey, I still find the final version better :D

This one seems to have some editing / timing issues towards the middle, but I'm mainly referring to the first 10 seconds or so :)

Ok, this is just stupid.

Is he talking about the prequels now or the original movies? HE DOESN'T CONFUSE THE TWO I HOPE??

Yea, where Star Trek had thought experiments and "humanity" (as corny as it sometimes may have gotten - look up TV Tropes "you fail logic forever"), Star Wars mostly had mythical escapism, but calling it "little more than special effects"?
The original movies hinged upon the humanity of their main characters - sorry, that's just silly.

Then he mentions Abrams' movie... okay... that one had cool SEs, but it sacrificed some of the "story" quality, didn't it? It belongs to the same franchise, but was much more like SW except probably more shallow.


The Shat should listen to some Plinkett - his thoughts on this aren't organized at all.

Um, are you joking? :)

I don't know whether they made an extra recording for the movie, but it's pretty much exactly the original piece except obviously cut together differently for movie purposes - which is the very problem :D

Or maybe you think the "changes" sound great, I dunno, to me it sounds awkward and hackneyed.

Btw, a little off-topic, but if you want to a REAL "hacking up" of a music piece in a movie, look no further than the X2 opening.
