Blade Runner:
I went to a 35mm screening of this (First time viewing as well), defineatly the best way to watch such a visually impressive movie. Will pick it up on Blu Ray ASAP.

I saw that in 35mm (Final Cut) a couple years ago, so amazing. Only issue was the film crapped out for a minute, and at the absolute worst possible moment (Batty’s tears in rain speech). Other than that, a great experience.

Also Guardians V2 was a hell of a lot of fun. Better than the first, in my view.

What a big dummy. I agree with the slip-up; but I’m pretty sure it’s only that, a slip-up.

If by slip-up you mean the guy has no fucking clue what he’s talking about (ever), than yes. Also yes to agreeing with his accidental message.

How out of touch do you have to be? I suppose if this was gonna happen, it would happen in Bumfucknowhere, Wisconsin (I’m sure Ashwaubenon is a lovely place); but even still, Darth Vader is iconic. It would almost take effort not to know who he is.

Yeah, pretty much.

What does this story have to do with politics though? Obviously it was a strange and misinformed overreaction, but I will say in a large amount of schools wearing masks is prohibited (and with good reason).

This is my real life name.
Or: I prefer having an actual name to having a weird word or phrase, so I picked this name because it sounds cool and is from a great movie (but isn’t necessarily a famous enough character name that someone else would have the handle, because I use this on a few different sites).

Avatar:

If you go back several pages you can find a post about me meeting a really nice girl at a camp I went to. It’s long and I don’t feel like quoting it. Anyway, we’ve been texting each other for a few weeks now and a couple nights ago she admitted that she really likes me. It shook me up a bit… a lot. We live about two hours apart, but she seems interested in a long distance relationship, but do those ever work out? Are those “real?” This is all very new to me.

Okay, end of childish nonsense post.

CatBus summed it up nicely, yeah, they are real.

Speaking as someone who has been in a couple of long distance relationships, I will say they can be trying. Both had a sort of “doomed from the start” sense to them but what’s ultimately important is that I don’t regret either of them. Yeah, they both ran their course eventually - one only a few months and the other much longer (and would have lasted even longer than that if it had been up to me) - but most relationships do.

Especially at your age, you shouldn’t be worried about whether a relationship will really “work out.” What’s most important isn’t if you think the relationship will ultimately end (as all do, in one way or another), it’s whether you think you’d want to be in that relationship at all. For how long doesn’t matter, it could last a day or it could last forever, point is that’s something you can’t know until you start. Right now, it’s really as simple as do you like her? and do you want to be in a relationship with her?

This is where CatBus’s other point comes in. You shouldn’t feel like you have to date a girl to prove you’re not gay. But you also shouldn’t feel like you can’t date a girl because you also like guys. Point being, don’t worry about gay, straight, don’t worry about how people perceive you, focus on your feelings - do you like the girl and would you want to be in a relationship with her? A simple question, and your answer (and only yours) will tell you everything you need to know.

Ryan McAvoy said:

Or it could be Darth maul?

Person A: "Darth Maul is my favourite Star Wars villain because he looks so badass!!!"
Person B: "What else is good about his character, apart from looking badass?"
Person A: “Character…?”

The same could be said for OT Boba Fett, IMO.

If Boba Fett dueled Luke in ESB instead of Vader, then yes. But he didn’t, so no

It’s really telling that, in making him interesting for Clone Wars and Rebels, he’s practically unrecognizable from his TPM interpretation.

But if you think the PT is better made, or do something insane like give the PT a 5/10 and RO a 1/10, you’re just trolling for reactions.

TFA plot is way bigger mess than any PT plot. It is simply horrible. So ranking TFA below PT is completely natural in this respect. When you also count in the complete lack of originality in TFA, the judgement is clear.

Evidence that your repeated opinions are worthless and add nothing to the discussion: Frink isn’t even talking about TFA, he’s talking about RO (which I thought you liked).

Check his post again…

Just because he mentioned it once doesn’t mean he’s talking about it. Dat SW Guy put TFA above the PT and RO below, that’s what he’s responding to. You even cut out the part where Frink mentioned TFA. Clearly you made a mistake, I’m just shocked, I didn’t know the Truth™ made mistakes.

He said: “If you don’t like either TFA or RO, that’s fine. If you prefer to watch the PT to those two movies, ok that’s your prerogative. But if you think the PT is better made, or…”

The last part refers to what was established in the first sentence. The longer version of it would be “But if you think the PT is better made than either TFA or RO (those two movies), or…”. It is basic grammar.

But if you think the PT is better made, or do something insane like give the PT a 5/10 and RO a 1/10, you’re just trolling for reactions.

This is what you quoted, which explicitly refers to RO, which Dat SW Guy ranked below the PT, but then you talked about TFA. I don’t know how to make this clearer.

Also the fact that you talk about grammar when you have consistently the worst grammar of anyone on this site is hilarious.

I think that your opinion is ridiculous, but would you care to explain why you feel that way?

I can help - “rehash, crap, rehash, rehash, crap, crap, rehash.”

Ranking the Star Wars Soundtracks
Time

Anakin’s Dark Deeds is probably simultaneously the best and worst part of the soundtrack. The beginning is just waaaay too much. I’m of the opinion that choir should only be used sparingly in SW scores, and on this cue it just goes way over board. However the latter part of the track (as it’s presented on the OST) is kind of undeniably amazing (especially as it appears in the film and in fan expanded scores).
