Why is this topic even still open? Hasn’t it been proven again and again that seemingly the only point here is to talk about the ST, which could easily be done in the review threads?
My OP is not about the ST beyond it being a part of SW.
the thread is you complaining about the ST though.

you are the first person that I’ve heard of describing this as a ‘tonal clash’.It’s a scene right out of a parody.
The laser that’s going to kill “what we love” fires in center frame right as they lean in for the kiss after Rose’s “saving what we love” speech.I have never EVER seen a more utterly insane development in the SW community than people who think that the ST isn’t a fucking joke compared even to the PT, let alone the OT.
It’s like the people who bashed the PT for years just shut down when movies worse than the PT come out.
Maybe because they know that they’re the reason why these new movies are cinematic abortions.
you’re being extremely aggresive and hateful. that is 99% of the time a really bad thing.
i was also going to try to answer the topic but i don’t understand most of what you said so far, sorry.
I’ve never understood the appeal of drinking.
i wanted not to think about some stuff that’s been on my mind so i decided to drink a heck of a lot. it worked, plus i don’t remember most of what happened, but i’m not sure it was worth it.
last night i got totally wasted for the first time in my life, and good god i’m never drinking again. it felt like i was going to throw up most of my organs. and now i’m feeling incredibly sick and might still throw up later today.
i call my teachers by their first name, i’m pretty sure i’m going to call my superiors by their first name too.
it’s been very pleasant. 40s-60s. 😃
i think comedians spent so much time of their lives telling jokes and obviously dealing with comedy that most if not all of the regular jokes aren’t really funny to them anymore, and i think that that’s why they embrace the ‘absurd’ and shocking jokes with minorities and all of that. i don’t think it’s fucked up because it means that if they’re making the joke it means that they too think it’s absurd and shocking.
There’s a way to tell a joke about shocking subject matter in either good or bad nature. (Saying people have “downs syndrome” as an insult is obviously just in poor taste, and honestly not even a joke.)
i highly doubt comedians think of ‘down syndrome’ as an actual insult. it’s funny to some because assholes and stupid people would use it as an insult. so the comedian is indirectly making fun of those people.
It depends on the context of the joke. In this scenario, where the context is seemingly a sincere apology, it definitely does not come across as anything but rude and uncaring.
do you think that what happened to james gunn, for example, was fair?
The situations are simply not analogous. I wouldn’t have had a problem with the Tonight Show cancelling a James Gunn appearance the day after those jokes resurfaced.
i wasn’t talking about norm’s case since i haven’t read anything about it, or any other specific case for that matter. i’m talking in more general terms. and you haven’t really answered if you think that what happened to james gunn was fair.
regarding this specific discussion - dom, i don’t think mfm and handman are defending that the ‘metoo’ movement should end, just that the ‘guilty until proven innocent’ thing is terrible if the accused person is in fact proven innocent. i think that was norm’s point. i’m pretty sure everyone who’s not a sexual predator agrees that it’s great that all these rapists are getting what they deserve. the problem here is with the ones that don’t deserve.
You’re talking about a legal matter - “guilty until proven innocent,” but this merely the court of public opinion. The reason why comments like Norm’s are misguided (at best) is they ignore the fact that most of these people suffer quite minimally in the long run (the whole thing about “career being over” is largely a myth), so all the comments really serve to do is to disparage those who are the victims (who rarely if ever get any actual justice) and dissuade them from speaking out, for fear that they will be either ignored or outright attached because they don’t have enough “evidence.”
i agree with you that this attitude is making victims more encouraged to speak out because it means that something is going to happen, but i think it gives them too much power. at this point anyone could claim anything about anyone and we’d be throwing stones at the accused even if whatever he’s being accused of is bullshit. that’s a problem. i don’t know a better way to handle these matters but i don’t think what’s happening is ideal either. a lot of people suck and a lot of people lie, so it’s always a possibility. i’m glad it’s rarely the case, but who knows where it’ll go next.
Victims should be allowed to speak out period. There shouldn’t be any “but”s after that.
they have always been allowed to speak. problem is they have to be taken seriously. i just think we should find a better way to do that without instantly incriminating the accused person because they might be innocent.
Attack of the Clones (6/10)
The Force Awakens (6/10)
The Last Jedi (5/10)What the fuck.
oh shit!! someone has a different opinion!! what the fuck?!!!
hey, thanks for the info guys!

oh, brother! good luck ash.
well, this thread’s called “Star Wars Prequels 35mm 4K Filmized Editions”, so i think that’s what the preview is a preview of.
hey mfm you’re not alone, i make and laugh at fucked up jokes too.

glad you’re back man. i really hope nothing bad happens to you. heck, i really don’t know what to say.
Maybe it was too fast as originally conceived? Star Wars films need multiple viewings to absorb everything as it is. Would be an interesting editing experiment to recut it without the inserts.
maybe just take a few of the shots out? syncing it to the soundtrack would be a pain, though.
i’m glad this thread exists because now i can finally ask: what is criterion?
let me add my first post about me in here in a while: long story short, the girl that had broken up with me a while back and i are back together, adding that incident to the list of times she’s broken up with me and come back a few days later.
anyway, she lent me her external hard drive and i’ve been looking at her pics with her ex, because i thouhgt it wouldn’t hurt, right? it’s in the past right? why would it hurt? right? well, guess what? fucking wrong. add that to the not-so-good spot we find ourselves in relationship-wise and i feel like i’m going to have a mental breakdown.
we’ve been together for roughly the same amount of time she was with her ex and they have close to 400 pics together. we have MAYBE 20. granted, i hate taking pictures, but the numbers still annoy me. plus it seems like they did a lot more interesting/fun stuff than we did (as in they went out to do something fun in the free time they had together while we’re inside studying or doing some other shit because that’s what she wants to do/has to do). also granted, she wasn’t in college at the time she was with her ex and therefore had a lot more free time, but this annoys me too because i have a lot of free time right now given that i’m a senior and she doesn’t because she’s in college, which also annoys me because our realities are so different that apparently she’s losing interest in the relationship. well, fuck.
i don’t even know what i’m even talking about anymore.
just a bit of teenage drama for you all.
I’m a little upset I can’t just see her
i sympathize with this.
i agree with the baka.

There is a lot about your posts I don’t like seeing (the constant depression, misery, and hatred of just about everyone and everything).I don’t hate everything. I like depression, misery, hatred, Nike shoes, and Colin Kaepernick.
allol
me too. maybe we’ll make the jump to 4k puppet yoda once the TPM print scan comes out?
sorry, i didn’t read your entire post, only the first few sentences, but i’ll try to reply.
i don’t see how luke isn’t literally being ‘the last hope’ when he’s facing down the two most powerful men in the galaxy alone.
i also don’t see why luke was the hope for the galaxy and not for the jedi. i’ve always interpreted it as the latter.
i’m not being able to translate my thoughts into words well enough, so sorry about that, but meh
even though i don’t understand the technical stuff and don’t have access to most of the older screenshots, i’m really looking forward to this. thank you so much emanswfan.
wow what an asshole
