What kills me the most about Christmas music is the constant non-stop air play of the same 10 songs…argh!

There are way more than 10 Christmas songs, especially if you add in the religious Christmas music.

My wife dislikes most non-religious Christmas music. Especially ones that celebrate the winter season in general or the buying of gifts.

I tend to dislike those less (unless they’re about Santa).

Exception is the Little Drummer Boy. Gotta admit that’s a winner.

As time goes on and the novelty wears off, Rogue One is starting to slip a little for me. For whatever reason, it’s the (non-PT) film I find myself popping in the least frequently. I still like it a lot, it just doesn’t scratch my SW itch as well as the others do. I guess it might be the characters. Jyn and Cassian are nowhere near as fun to spend time with as Luke, Han and Leia or Rey, Finn and Poe.

Current ranking:

SW = ESB > TFA > ROTJ > R1 > TPM > AOTC = ROTS.

I still haven’t even bought it. I know I will at some point (probably soon), but that does say something.

The Force Awakens: Official Review Thread - ** SPOILERS **

Then why can’t all the times Kylo isn’t being unquestionably evil just be thrown under “Ben Solo?” Why couldn’t someone say; “it wasn’t Kylo feeling the call of the light side, that was Ben Solo momentarily showing through. Kylo is 100% evil.”

Why do we need to stick to this silly idea of dichotomous personalities anyway? Clearly the films are looking to do something more interesting.

I loved when Kylo said “Your son is gone,” and you could tell he was putting on, saying it to prove it to himself as well as Han. He’s trying to play into that classic Vader dichotomy but clearly doesn’t fit. I’d much rather have this than the split personality.

Plot similarities don’t matter to me, the other stuff is far more important. When it comes to character, I prefer going for something new.

I’m leaving this place because every post made by oojason since he became a mod pisses me the fuck off and has made this site into a watered down version of what it was. I understand not being able to actually insult people, but you can’t even pretend to insult people as a joke anymore. What the fuck? This place used to be fun. I’ll possibly still stay in touch with people I have pm threads with. Unless of course I get banned for daring to be unhappy with something Jason said and can’t access pms. Toodles.

you ok my friend?

Frank’s point remains. Star Wars refers to the original film. ANH refers to the altered versions, most of which are shit.

Not really. All ANH versions of the film, including the SE at one point, were referred to as Star Wars.

Well honestly this kinda proves Frank’s point more, because no one really called it ANH until the PT and the SEs.

Referring to the 1981 version always irks me because we all watched Star Wars on VHS for years without having any problems with that subtitle being in the crawl, but now it’s apparently a crime against cinema.

Technically any change without the original being available is a crime against cinema (though this is a relatively minor misdemeanor). Remember this is the site where people were complaining that they covered up Robert Patrick’s balls in Terminator 2.
