Whenever I’m sad I just read this thread. By the way I actually liked most of the ideas of your clone wars edit, kitty.
I think it’s worth it. The PT is the greatest thing that’s happened to Star Wars if you don’t count everything else, so they should be acknowledged.
Do you guys think we wouldn’t be in this position regarding guns if the constitution was uncodified? Do you guys think it’d be worth it?
I saw some people arguing that and I personally don’t think it’d be worth it but maybe we wouldn’t be in this situation right now.
Is Black Panther as good as people are making it out to be? Marvel movies have recently been falling so flat to me (despite most of them getting great reviews) and feeling like basically CGI messes that I really am not excited even with all the praise.

this is important, but I still disagree.
I actually share most of snooker’s thoughts, and I will post my review sometime next week because I won’t be home til then.
Just one quick question - is the color correction in your edits based on the 35mm trailers?
Does anybody know what happened to Moth3r?
Do they make movie tie-ins at all these days?
I don’t think so, unfortunately. GoldenEye is a classic, for example.
Correct.
Not sure if it has been mentioned but apparently the killer was a white supremacist. Nice.
Sorry if this question has already been answered Adywan, but what source are you going to use to revert SE changes back to their original form?
The “they’ll get the guns anyway even if illegally” argument is nonsense. By that logic, why bother having laws in the first place?
In many states, as well as federally, smoking pot is illegal. People still do it constantly because they have some sort of access to it illegally. The same applies to pretty much any other product. If there is demand for it, at least a few of those demanding it will get their hands on it somehow.
Any other illegal drug, alcoholic beverages during prohibition, alcoholic beverages to minors today, porn to minors, child porn, etc. is accessible in some way to those who seek it hard enough. The same applies to weapons, especially considering the whole 3D printing situation.
So we should stop regulating child porn, alcohol, etc. because people are going to get it anyway, right? That’s what I’m hearing and it’s fucking stupid.
Not only that, but I find it hard to compare a plant to a killing machine.
To Dek: most people in the US are good. I believe in that and so must you, because if not we’re all fucked and we’ll be living in fear. People acquire pot even if it’s illegal because it being illegal is nonsense. It is a plant that will get you high and that’s literally it. It’s not harmful to anyone. You cited other examples of course, such as child porn, which is absolutely sick, but I’m pretty sure that marijuana has a larger underground market than child porn, and that’s because there are more people of good than of bad, at least in America.
And yes I do think that if child porn was legal it’d have a larger market. People are crazy but some just don’t know it. Take Possessed’s anecdote and apply it to several things, because it is applicable.
Edit: I’m glad you’re still here with us Possessed, I thought that wouldn’t even need to be said but why not. You’re a good fella and you’d be missed by me and all the others. Thank the maker for Illinois’ guns laws.
I literally just ate 9 Reese’s Pieces in a row. I don’t feel well.

What did i do wrong i just asked a question.
When Adywan has something to update us on, he will. Asking for updates is unnecessary and feels like you’re demanding he work at your speed, not his.
Plus before long we’ll be getting people demanding updates constantly to the point of harassment just like with ESB, hence the “it begins” comment.
Sit tight and be patient. ESB took the better part of a decade. ROTJ might not take as long, but it definitely won’t be done anytime soon.
Plus he’s also working on SW, so 2 movies at once.
This might be my last post in this thread since I don’t think I contribute to it at all:
While I do understand why some people would want to have a handgun in their drawer just in case, I fail to see any logic whatsoever behind people arguing that we shouldn’t take automatic rifles or any sort of military-grade weapon out of the marked.
I ended up seeing it in theater. To anyone else in my situation, I would say wait for video, or maybe even never see it.
Shocker based on your laundry list of complaints with the TFA which basically amounted to “I don’t like it because it’s not exactly what I wanted it to be.”
Disagree. While some of the things he said were nitpicks (some even identified as such) he has some very valid complaints towards TFA.
I’m afraid I’m living that right now… even if you decide to go in with 0 expectations your subconscious will inevitably think that every time she’s kind to you she wants something more with you, which will increase expectations and all of a sudden you’re hopeful again.
I don’t know what to tell you Handman, just good luck my friend.
The movie is good. My only issue is the Opera lady. That is literally the only thing that I would edit. Maybe the “saving what we love” quote. Maybe.
One thing I’d definitely want to do if I knew how to is re-rotoscoping the lightsabers, and maybe fixing some wipes.
Each film is to some degree worse than the one before it, so a ranking from me would be pointless as it’d just be me listing the films in release order.
Raiders is a perfect film.
Temple is the rare sequel that tries to do something very different to stand apart from its predecessor, and while there are a few missteps it’s mostly great.
Last Crusade is the standard sequel that rehashes the popular first entry while Flanderizing all the characters to death (especially poor Brody). It’s saved from being garbage by Sean Connery and the last ~30 minutes, which are genuinely fantastic.
Crystal Skull isn’t as awful as its reputation but aside from a 20-30 minute stretch in the middle of the film, it’s not very good. I disliked that they brought back Marion, tying it too heavily into Raiders instead of letting it stand on its own. And far too many moments in the film are utterly cringeworthy.
So, for me:
- Raiders: 10/10
- Temple: 9/10
- Crusade: 7/10
- Crystal Skull: 5 or 6/10, I can’t really decide.
Switch The Last Crusade and Temple of Doom and you have mine. I think Temple of Doom is as dark as it is due to Lucas going through depression during the development of the story.
1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. Last Crusade
3. Temple of Doom
4. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Anyone who ranks any other way is just wrong, wrong, wrong.
This
YES!!!
Edit: quick question, does it tie in with the 2003 miniseries too?
My God, here we go again.
This was literally a David Bowie song, so I can’t wait for conspiracy nuts to claim it was a false flag years in the making and Bowie was in on it or something.
How does the song relate to what happened? Sorry I didn’t pick it up if it was obvious.
I enjoyed the movie despite being extremely critical of it, but I would tell anyone to go watch it regardless, simply because it’s one of the most beautiful Star Wars movies if not the most beautiful one. Plus Hamill, plus several incredibly amazing scenes that are all stuck to a (unfortunately) not very good plot.
I can see where this is headed and I’m giving up now to save myself the time and aggravation.
Anyway I’m done like I said.
ah, the Frink gambit.
Or I could spend several pages and days arguing with you guys. That always goes well.
or we could spend several days discussing it intelligently without wisecracks and insults and actually listen to each other and learn something, but heaven forbid we do that.
Oh Warbler. How foolish you are. Thinking someone could learn something from an argument on the Internet. Now that’s what I call delusion!
That’s an unfortunate belief. I’ve learned a great deal from the opposing viewpoint in this very thread. If you have not, then the fault is yours, I’m afraid.
Me too, but I think he was being sarcastic.
