I mean yes but you might as well spend the extra couple bucks and get a medium sized good-pizza from domino’s. If it’s worth having pizza it’s worth having pizza right.

And domino’s has a deal where you can get three mediums for 5.99 each so for an extra three bucks that could have been domino’s which is probably better than digiornos.

But it also wouldnt keep for as long on the fridge. But honestly who has pizza and doesnt eat it all within a day or two?

The whole point was that it was a good deal though, I’m usually pretty cheap with my money.

Anyway, I did just had Domino’s recently. The thing is, I don’t want to have to order and pickup (which from what I understand you have to do for that deal), it’s just easier to pop it into the oven. Also, Domino’s is real greasy and often if I eat too much I feel a little sick afterwards.

You lost me at “scientific perspective.”

It’s not even necessary to invoke science. Logic will do just fine. Fantasy movies do not have to adhere to science, but they have to make logical sense in-universe.

True, that’s exactly why I’m okay with it.

Funny, it’s why I’m not. It’s not the worst of TLJ’s offenses in my view, and it’s a stunning visual moment in the film, but it sadly fits with what I percieve to be RJ’s general disregard for the in-universe rules established by Lucas over the last four decades.

I’m not at which point in the previous six Lucas films they establish that this isn’t possible, but whatever.

I think NeverarGreat made very clear, why it is somewhat of an issue for some of us, but since you stopped reading after the “scientific perspective” part, you probably missed the point he was making, but whateverrrrrr…

Having read it now, I don’t think that’s really the case, but whatever.

(also, when I say “whatever,” I don’t say it in that valley girl way, it’s basically just a shortening of “whatever you say, if that’s how you want to view it,” but whatever)

The big issues with Hillary that I heard during the campaign were:

1. She would be hawkish on foreign policy, leading to escalating tensions with our enemies.
2. She was potentially corrupt based on potential pay-for-play activities in her organization.
3. She would show preferential treatment to family members, based on her daughter’s position.
4. She would play fast and loose with state secrets based on her handling of her email account.

Just a few examples of what Trump has done in office with regards to these issues:

1. Threatened war with a nuclear power.
2. Is actually corrupt based on hundreds of past and ongoing real-estate transactions with foreign governments.
3. Displays breathtaking nepotism, with only one example being how Jared Kushner was somehow able to operate on temporary security clearance for over a year before it was revoked due to being a dangerous security risk.
4. Actually gave Russian officials top secret intelligence that compromised Israeli operations, leading to our allies withholding similar intelligence from the United States for fear of leaks.

So yeah, I think Trump is a whole lot worse.

You forgot that she is a literal spawn of satan who may or may not run a kiddie porn ring.

Great, now I want pizza. You in dahmage?

Serious question, is DiGiorno any good? They were on sale for like $5 each, so I bought three. Never had before, though.

More seriously, another common complaint is that she is an out of touch elite, which, yes, but the alternative is Donald fucking Trump, i.e. the most out of touch elite on the planet.

Wouldn’t know, stopped reading his post there.

Seems like Mark Hamill is voicing Luke.

Weird Science (1985) - Weird is definitely the right word. D+

It’s probably just nostalgia talking but you sir are dead to me.

(Note: Have not seen this movie in at least 15 years, possibly longer. Saw it hundreds of times in the 80’s and early 90’s.)

Don’t watch it again.

Do you think we’re likely to see more weaponized hyperdrives in canon now?

A great concept . . . that unfortunately seems out of place in the SW universe. If such a thing can be done, why don’t warships have hyperdrive missiles?

I think the idea is that the size of the Raddus is what allowed it to do such damage.

Malcolm X (1992) - Not the kind of film that usually gets made for a figure like this, but it is the one that he deserves. A great, nuanced epic for a great and complex man. Denzel is amazing, obviously. A-

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) - Somehow this was still playing in theaters, and I’d heard it was better than expected, and me and a friend had nothing else going on, so why not? Actually an entirely enjoyable experience. Another one of those rare, good recent mainstream comedies. B

Rush Hour 2 (2001) - Barely a movie, more like a collection of fight scenes and Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker hanging out. Watchable, I suppose. C

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) - There being a new Tomb Raider movie, I got kind of curious about the past ones. But you know what they say about curiosity. This is also barely a movie, utterly ridiculous in every way, though not often in a fun way, unfortunately. D

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003) - Much better in some ways than the first, though worse in others. At least it feels like it’s telling a story, however dumb. D+

Doom (2005) - Couple different factors brought me here, namely wanting some more of the Rock after Jumanji, and wondering about other video game adaptations. I’d heard this was infamously bad, but I was surprised to learn it’s actually not all that terrible, and almost fun in spots. C-

The Rundown (2003) - More early Dwayne Johnson. Pretty enjoyable, though nothing too special. C+

A Wrinkle in Time (2018) - Really like the story they were going for, even if it doesn’t ultimately cohere in any effective way. Still, some great visuals and an amazing performance from the lead. C+

Weird Science (1985) - Weird is definitely the right word. D+

The Land Before Time (1988) - Would have been a great movie if the dinosaurs didn’t talk. C+

Tomb Raider (2018) - Thankfully much better than the previous entries in almost every way, especially the lead actress. Takes way too long to get to the adventuring though, I honestly don’t care that much why Lara Croft raids tombs, I just want to see her do it. Walton Goggins is wasted too, though this is emblematic of a larger problem of the movie taking itself too seriously. C+

Hardcore Henry (2016) - Less a movie and more a 90 minute experimental live action first person shooter video. Some crazy shit in there to keep things interesting, but not much more. C

Oh that’s cool ! As if Johnson was aware people would like to fanedit his movie 😃

I think it’s more a case of that’s how the film originally was, and the studio said “we need more humor. Cut these scenes out and make them funnier.”

No.

Yes she was.

Weird that people still don’t understand this.

The part when he’s talking about killing the sandpeople and Padme said “To be angry is to be human” and most of that scene was a DVD addition IIRC

Which parts of that scene were DVD additions?

suspiciouscoffee said:

Are you replying to my post Dom?

No (I agree with yours).

i find this incredibly unlikely.

At this point I do feel like RDJ’s Stark has kinda run its course. Evans’s Cap is nearing that too, though I feel like there’s still more there. Hemsworth’s Thor just became finally interesting, so I’d be very disappointed to see him go. Otherwise, I love Holland’s Spidey and the whole Black Panther crew, and I like Cumberbatch’s Strange enough that I’m willing to proceed with new team ups.

48fps doesn’t seem like enough for high frame rate. If you’re gonna go in, you should go all in. I’m still disappointed I missed Billy Lynn in 120fps, that sounds more like it.

Probably just a parody of all the times users have edited their post to that to “delete” it.

No.

I’m really hoping that they don’t do the death checklist thing like Rogue One did. If people are going to die, there should be a good reason, not just because fans are bloodthirsty.

I’m pretty sure they changed the Superman scene slightly. Looked less like unfreezing, more like waking up and twitching a little.

I doubt that. I haven’t seen the home release, but all you did was describe what happened in theaters.

dahmage said:

Finally saw Thor Ragnarok. I really enjoyed it.

Now I can try to watch black panther tomorrow hopefully.

Good

If you want to shoot a vertical-ratio “Superman” movie, Zack Snyder (and/or Joss Whedon) beat you to it.

I admit this was my inspiration.

Also, stop harassing me about my hypothetical movie and let me do what I want.
