Very enjoyable but kinda soulless.

I must admit that while PT being annoying, it has more soul.

I would say the opposite. TFA is mindless drivel, but it does have some spirit.

I certainly wont be adding it to my all time greats collection!

There goes my idea of thinking that you might frame the BD and put it on your wall. 😃

I wont be purchasing, already wasted enough on the cinema just to clarify what I saw was real.

So the rumor that you might encrust the disc in gold plating is false?

It is indeed, may make a good cat deterrent in the garden though.

Maybe he will freeze it in carbonite and hang it up on his wall of shame.

I’ll throw it at Sarlacc!

Are you sure you wouldn’t want to encrust it in platinum with rare jewels?

I’d like to encrust it in a yuletide log

What’s this bunny thing even mean?

Haa! Nice bait! 😉

No I’m serious, what does it mean? O.o

A long running gag on the forum. It’s a huge image intended to mock excessively long posts with too much easily trimmed quote material in them. It has been abused in the recent past. Linking to it is acceptable, but as an inline image is where it has had to most impact good and bad.

Ah, okay, thank you Wook. 😃

I’m starting to think we need a glossary of these things for newcomers?

Probably a good idea, been signed up for a while, but been out of the loop for so long it just went right over my head.

We had one that vote_for_palpatine maintained until he disappeared.

We also had this:

Lastly, I made a text version of the lolbunnyskyscraper, but it’s in my bookmarks and I think those disappeared?

I knew I was in the wrong place when I read some of the threads and replies from the resident CLIQUE, you all should really try harder to be inclusive rather than criticise every post a non-clique member posts, your forum may last longer.

Ha, this forum will last way longer than you.

Now then, I’m off to another thread to say things you can’t possibly understand because you aren’t a part of the clique.

Wink wink, nudge nudge. 😃

Really? It’s like ten short lines of text. And I used it many times before without a single complaint.

And I don’t know what a Trandoshan is, so I’m not sure I could poke it.

Non-nerd!

…That doesn’t have quite the same effect as the non-less version of that.

(Oh, and Trandoshan = Bossk’s species)

I can’t find it. Google search now returns a lot more signatures and individual posts that don’t lead to the right places. 😦

SilverWook said:

I honestly don’t recall how big the text version was. Just erring on the side of caution. If you find it, post it somewhere, (like off topic) and I’ll have a look. 😃

Oops, I missed that part.

Spare me, Silverwook, I beseech you! 😉

JEDIT: Scratch that…a temporary ban might do me some good. Don’t let me back for a couple weeks, at least. 😉

Yoda Is Your Father said:

I agree that Snoke took me right out of the movie. And if you’re suggesting that they would have been better off going down the puppet route, I agree with that too. Yoda was so good they tried to get Frank Oz nominated for an Oscar but the academy wouldn’t have it.

I don’t care how the special effects team does it, they can use CGI or a puppet or a man in a mask or do whatever they want. My point was that you don’t want it to look fake. You don’t want people to roll their eyes and say “lifeless puppet” or “CGI” or “Halloween mask” etc!

I ask you this, though: has there been a single sci-fi/fantasy movie in the past fifteen years or so that featured a major character that wasn’t an actor in a costume that achieved this? I suppose Gollum would be the one, but my reaction to him was always more “Jesus, that’s impressive CGI” rather than “I can’t tell if that’s CGI”. He’s sort of the Yoda puppet of CGI. Effects almost always look like effects, that’s just the reality we’re in.

I will say I was disappointed in Snoke’s design, though. I’d have liked it if he was as disfigured as in the art book rather than dialed back a bit as he was.

Edit: I guess that Doug Jones in any given Guillermo del Toro movie achieves what I’m talking about, but that sort of rides the line between costume and puppet.
