Tried to watch Armageddon (Bruce Willis) last night. What a joke. Got about 30 minutes in.
“these guys are astronauts, not drillers; I want to bring my own men”
“Oh, sure” (paraphrase)
So you can teach someone to be an astronaut in two weeks, but not to drill into bedrock?
This was only one problem of many, of course, but this one stood out.
well, if characters were to survive after an explosion and getting sucked to space, space battles would have no tension at all. not when force users are the pilots at least.
i do recall a clone wars episode where plo koon and three clones survive outisde for a very short period of time - and they explicitly say that plo koon survives because of the mask he uses and that the clones survive because of their armor.
and the kanan example shared above lasts for basically 5-10 seconds, and you can clearly see that he was almost, well, freezing to death already. i was under the impression leia was floating in space for a couple of minutes at least.
No one is surviving a direct hit on a light fighter. This is different. A large space with many people. She was away from the windows. And so what if it was an anomaly. People unbelievably survive catastrophic accidents all the time in real life too.
Edit: also, IIRC, the sequence was not a couple minutes.
yeah but when people get sucked into space after an explosion in Star Wars, they die.
example?
edit: and even if so, evidence they died instantly and couldn’t have survived if they could’ve used the force or some other tactic to pull themselves to safety?
Star Wars
Those charred corpses be creepy.
That chicken wings are best with buffalo sauce, spicy as you can get? I like everything to be as spicy as possible though I put red pepper in almost everything I cook if it’s just for me.
Not spicy buffalo wings are the worst. Might as well douse them in ketchup.
Possessed… wrong thread mate. 😉
It’s a random thought, dude.
really? i never read the books, but i really liked the movie.
I felt like the movies took a really intriguing, intellectual mystery into a cheap adventure flick. I could perhaps see someone not having read the books enjoying the movies, I guess.
I didn’t even know there was a second one.
Angels and Demons follows the same character. In terms of books, Demons actually comes first. So the movie’s actually a prequel, I guess.
But the movies suck anyway. Browns early stuff through DaVinci was really good. Then the books thereafter are bad. Maybe the movies followed a similar trajectory (though from bad to reallllly bad).
- Charred, smoking corpses
So Star Wars is horror?
The Da Vinci Code: wow i loved this. the story was really interesting, and the plot twists were all pretty effective to me. tom hanks, sir ian mckellen and paul bettany are great on this.
overall i tend to really enjoy mystery/suspense movies, and i also tend to really enjoy reading or watching stuff about conspiracy theories, so this was a piece of cake to me.
really really enjoyable experience, i should’ve watched this a long time ago.
10/10
One of the most thrilling novels I ever read. The movie was lame.
Darn. Thanks for ruining my dreams Wook.
The way it’s bent like that, looks like a rigged and stored fishing pole.
Today:
A Pacifico, a Leinenkugel’s Canoe Paddler (kolsch-style) and a Land Shark.
The Empire Strikes Back
Is there a thread for “worst new sub forum division”?
You have my permission to use this thread to that effect.
This one.
The 40 Year Old Virgin – Someone once called me something to this effect when I was in middle school. Kind of a weird thing to say to a kid.
I watched this recently too. Really enjoyed it. I always assumed it was garbage raunchy comedy, but it’s actually very thoughtful.
Is that a fishing pole hanging out of Luke’s pack on Dagobah after he crashes his X-wing?
Is there a thread for “worst new sub forum division”?
Off the top of my head, here’s a list of things my parents have told me is satanic over the years (some of which they eventually reneged on).
-Pokémon
-Harry Potter
-D&D
-All non-conservative-protestant-evangelical-Christian religions
-Darwin’s theories, but only some of them
-“emogoth” music
-any music with bad words
-“the world”
-Monster energy drink
-most R-rated movies
-Gays (whoops)
-Anime (because the eyes are dark and creepy-lookin’)
-Foreign policy that isn’t neocon zionism
-“Imperfect” Jews (aka every Jew other than Jews for Jesus)So they’re zionists and hate imperfect Jews? So they want Jerusalem transferred to the Jews for Jesus?
No, they just want to bring about the end of the world.
Woof. I haven’t heard zionism used to refer to that philosophy in a long time. Probably since my Catholic high school days.
Hit me up after the rapture. In fact, let’s have an OT.com rapture party!

I had a strange dream involving this forum. We found out a long-time poster here had died, and we somehow got his address, got a group together, and went to pay our respects. The widow was there and told us the poster had mentioned us, but then went back inside. My grandmother was there too. I have no idea what to make of this.
Who was the poster?
They weren’t a real poster. They joined the site in 2002, which in reality is impossible.
Maybe it’s a premonition of time travel. Jay goes back, invents it sooner. I join sooner, get married, and die. Shit.
I’m not married, so at least it’s not a premonition of my death.
Yeah except that doesn’t make any sense
Do I need to hold up my sarcasm sign?
I used to take benadryl every night to sleep also, and it turned me into a real crab apple. Hated everything and everybody. Was always in a haze. Went away as soon as I quit taking it every night. Could very well have been a coincidence but I’ve sworn it off ever since making that connection.
Maybe you’re allergic. That would be ironic.
It’s perfectly fine. Products containing the same dosage of the same active ingredient are sold over the counter as sleep aids.
You been working out, I see.
No. Butts… thanks
