I refuse to accept this.  Not nearly old or grumpy enough.

My thoughts precisely.

Your picture, on the other hand...

Dick Van Patten as a Jedi FTW!

I cannot wait for a conservative Republican in the USA to claim that Borders closed down because of Obama's supposed Socialism.

More likely Amazon has eaten up the market share of the other retailers brick and mortar stores in online sales.

Or it could be the so called great recession.

Also borders always had high prices.

Okay, I'll take the bait.

<snipped for length> (cf. Frink's Guide #18)

Unless socialism steps in and decides that the tax payers should all pay to keep it around.

Very well said, Xhonzi. Since you've essentially said all that needs to be said, I'll just add my "+1" to it...

Lazy twist, was Lazy. So here's a pic of a video game character that looks like me.

Pics or it didn't happen.*

Many of us that are older were 16 at one time.  Youth is nothing to be ashamed of.

Indeed. Furthermore, as JediTray has so recently demonstrated to us, age doesn't necessarily translate into maturity.

These games you guys play.....they're not just text?

Oh my...

That's right! While you old geezers are playing outdated, obsolete text games, those of us who are young and hip are playing multi-colored video games with real graphics! Like this!

Dude, I updated mine yesterday right after you and Sluggo did. Cache actin' up?

Ripplin, start reading other off-topic threads. :P

What's with everyone changing their avatars?

Ripplin, if you decide to follow suit, make sure you put a KFC bucket on your head before you snap the photo. Too much disillusionment can be a bad thing...

Surely you're not suggesting that the notion of a largely male population on an online Star Wars messageboard is surprising...? :P

Nice! Now why doncha post your home address? ;)

I would love to see what TV's Frink looks like.

Honestly, I tend to envision Frink as a life-sized yellow cartoon figure nonchalantly living and moving and walking around in the real world as though it was the most normal thing conceivable...

Someday, we'll have a meet-up at a con. That would be so cool.

You could always quit your job if you want to meet xhonzi and I...

Accusative-case first-person pronoun fail. :P

I found a quote earlier today where Ady said that BadAssJanbusterback2 said that he would donate even more to him if Ady got him reinstated on the boards.

*sigh*

Freakin' hilarious. Didn't he make Ady the exact same offer the last time he was banned?

Actually, for that matter, didn't he say just four days ago that he was "ok with being banned at this point," and that he had "no interest in coming back"?

Words fail me.

Not necessarily. Didn't Ady indicate at some point that it could  be closer to the end of 2011? Or did I just hallucinate that?

Just had a bacon-lettuce-tomato-avocado sandwich.

And unlike Blade Runner and Alien, which are products of the company's that distributed them, Star Wars is owned by Lucas and not FOX.  Therefore, Lucas does have the right to decide which editions are deemed the default editions.

No one's suggesting that George's suppression of the original Star Wars trilogy is illegal; only that it's wrong.

Lucas having the capability to show a bigger,grander universe did just that

Grander? Maybe. Bigger? Definitely not. After ESB, each successive installment of the Star Wars series gradually shrunk the universe. The same damned planet (that's supposed to be in the middle of nowhere) shows up in 5 out of the 6 movies. With the PT, interpersonal relations get so tangled up between all of the main characters that it's hard to believe this saga takes place in an arena any larger than a city block, let alone a vast, immeasurable galaxy. Vader made 3p0 and lived next door to Greedo! Obi-wan knew Boba Fett! Chewie and Yoda were best buds! This, to you, is a bigger universe?

there are many untouched original versions now with blu ray quality

Now that's just objectively untrue. When it comes to issues like artistic merit and personal taste, you're free to throw around the "that's just your opinion!!!111one1!1" tautology, but right now you're declaring something that is factually incorrect. There are no untouched original versions in even passable DVD quality, let alone blu-ray. Adywan and Harmy have done masterful jobs with their ESB and ROTJ reconstructions, but even as good as they are, they will only ever be reconstructions. D_J's GOUT V. 3 looks incredibly promising, but the source material he's using is so limited that even this set will never be quite what a decent DVD release of the theatrical Star Wars trilogy should have been. Get your facts straight next time.

+1

Is Vader not allowed to have a single original thought?

That's very profound. Did you get it off of an herbal tea box?

Woah, woah, woah! Whatever happened to voting on new members?
