the point of dating someone is to trick them

Arranged marriage, or we could just go full Brave New World.

Are we sure movie’s disdain for dating isn’t born out of his disdain for movie theaters?

Dating in general is nothing but a big giant waste of time. Both people are just lying compulsively over an expensive dinner. It’s sickening.

We’ll just go extinct then.

Saw that in the theater. Whatever we went to see was sold out. I remember that being kind of fun.

I could never own an LED TV for my main setup. I’m glad I have one of the last plasmas made, and I’m seriously glad OLED is becoming a real option now. It definitely wasn’t when plasma was still around.

It’s a pretty low-end LED too. Bought originally for college. I’m wary to buy a new TV now b/c 4K OLED is still quite expensive, and I don’t want to buy a set, only to move in a few years and have space for something bigger. Will probably just stick with what I have until I move again, even though the current space could probably justify a set in low-mid 40s inches.

I’ve seen nothing to indicate he’s anything but a good father to his girls.

Except that they watch Star Wars on TV after school when they should be doing their homework 😉

I was surprised to see TFA airing on TNT this evening. I would think they would have promoted the heck out of it. I’m old enough to recall when it took a feature film three years to reach network tv.

I came home and my girls were watching it. 😃

Shouldn’t they have been doing their homework?

No.

Though it can be argued that that’s a positive trait.

play risk with no rules

That would take even longer

It would be weird if that didn’t come to a head. Abrams himself established that friction between them right out of the gate.

Except Abrams is a horrible and uninspired filmmaker so he probably already forgot. 😛

get around any of the other rules.

Okay! It’s the wild, wild West!

An Oppo would have been overkill for my 32” Samsung LED set and Sony shelf system stereo, but I probably wouldn’t have had to spend an hour trying to get the TLJ BD to play if I had one.

older as in 2014

Uh, no. The Rebellion is rebuilt from the ashes of the Resistance and Rey develops as a Jedi in the crawl. We start several years later

I imagine the price would have to be pretty cheap to justify a purchase of a practically defunct movie studio just for the rights to catalog titles and one every-three-years franchise. Disney is getting much more than that in their acquisition of 20th Century FOX.

Ugh. I’m about 40 pounds heavier than I should be and I know that eating less and exercising more is the key. Every night I think to myself “Tomorrow is the day that I eat a healthy amount of food and go for a run”. This never happens! I get about halfway through the day just fine, then walk over to the pantry and stuff myself with pop tarts till I hate myself. Has anybody discovered the secrets?

All of this compounded on top of my sexuality presenting itself to me recently. I’m very conflicted on that front, too.

EDIT: Hope everything gets better Ash. You too Handman.

Honestly? Don’t buy Pop Tarts. I’ve reduced my snacking simply by replacing a lot of the carby/sugary snack food in my cupboard with fruit. I can easily walk through the store without buying Oreos. But if they’re open and in my cupboard, they’re not lasting long.

I finished a 40-lb weight loss about a year ago. I just committed to exercising every day after work and made myself go even if I didn’t feel like it. It quickly became habit. Also severely restricted my calorie intake using a counting app.

Now I eat as I used to, except for the new snacking habits, and subbing a meal or two a week with salad, and get to the gym about 3 times a week for intense cardio, and I’ve managed to keep it off.

Since this thread is about Fox being bought by Disney I think on a related note I’d like to ask: Why hasn’t Time Warner bought Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer? It would make perfect sense since Warner owns MGM’s pre-1984 movie library save for the ones produced by United Artists through Turner. It would mean having all MGM movies under one roof, plus recently the only thing that’s keeping MGM afloat is the James Bond franchise. Warner would also be acquiring Orion Pictures movie library which is currently owned by MGM.

You say why it would make sense for us, the consumer. But why would it make sense for Time Warner, as a business decision?

Because then it’s just a movie set in space.

What’s a 007 movie without a Bond, a psychopathic villain, and a pretty girl? A spy movie.

HA!

I’d love to see a Star Wars story, which doesn’t include or even reference

• any Skywalker
• any Kenobi
• Darth Vader or any cheap imitation like Kylo Ren
• Emperor Palpatine or any cheap imitation like Snoke
• Death Star or Death Star II or any cheap imitation like the Starkiller base

So a Star Wars movie that isn’t a Star Wars movie. Okay.

• any left wing or right wing agenda, make it just a good old “good vs evil” story

lol

Happy Easter everyone!

Replace Ren’s “prepare my ship” with “tell this star destroyer to prepare for my departure.”
