So do you like Toy Story 2 now?

No. The crap in my basement wasn’t related to the crap on our TV/projector screens.

Just the crap lodged in your brain.

So, that still means the crap that’s allegedely lodged in my brain isn’t related to Toy Story 2, right?

(Also, needlessly throwing insults is a great way to show your appreciation for one relatively unimportant children’s film that someone happens to dislike.)

Lodged in your brain and affecting your judgement is what I mean.

Also Toy Story 2 is not a “children’s film” and maybe you think it’s unimportant but I (and many others) would consider not just when of the best sequels ever but also one of the best animated films of all time.

Some people do it wrong but the point of PC culture is treating others with respect. It’s coming from a good place, which makes me simply baffled when people call it things like “despicable.”

Personally, I feel being vehemently against PC culture is ridiculous. In my opinion, when you criticize people for criticizing real issues, you become a part of the problem,
because you are showing that you are more concerned with people who are supposedly infringing upon your liberties than people who are actually having their liberties infringed upon (which is what they’re concerned with).

Also the concept of this thread is dumb.

It may be that we’re doing certain things on this forum that are detracting women and girls. And, we also have to find a way to encourage women and girls to post.

There is an age limit for signing up here so what criteria are you using “women and girls” when you reference them as members?

I don’t like to use the term “female” sense it seems a bit clinical and cold. I want to include people of all age groups.

I don’t believe all age groups can be members due to the age limit.

We have plenty of boys here so I don’t see the issue.

There is an age limit for a reason and the connotation of “boys and girls” over “men and women” could cause other issues. This is the internet, not the local summer school, and I would certainly not want to be affiliated with a place that could end up being harmful when the mix of adults and children on an internet forum happens.

Just my two cents.

Guess you should stop your affiliation. We already have plenty of minors around here.

I am unaware of any minors here. If there are and they have made it openly clear that they are minors they probably shouldn’t be allowed to stay. If Jay has allowed it then he has obviously accepted the responsibility. Since I am NOT looking for dates here I have no need to take any personal stock in your suggestion that I stop my affiliation, whether kindly stated or not.

Yes there are and probably have always been. Don’t know how happy they’d be to be kicked out. As someone who started posting here when I was 16, I sympathize. Age is but a number. I’m sure some the craziest members here are all adults (frevious, id, cum, huzini, etc.).

Also I only told you to stop your affiliation because you said you wouldn’t want to be affiliated with a site that allowed kids to post.

Actually the totals I gave included the worldwide box office.

The domestic totals minus the foreign box office break down to:

  • Watchmen - $107 million
  • Sucker Punch - $36 million

Which paints an even uglier picture, which I didn’t need to do when the combined gross of foreign and domestic for both was ugly enough.

Sorry, I was thinking of 300, which made $460M on a $65M budget, and MoS, which made $668M on a $225M budget.

MOS was a success but not a very big one (a film typically needs to make at least double its budget to break even). That’s why WB added Batman for the next one.

Releasing the unaltered cuts at all blows the idea that Disney would want to impose one particular official version to hell, and putting them both on there with seamless branching is just too easy to not do, especially since there’s such a difference of opinion about the issue.

True, though I wonder if they care. I know if we were all in charge it would have every single variation imaginable. But I don’t think it’s all that important to them. Where do they stop with including the variations? My bet is they settle for just two distinct different versions: 77 and 11.

And 99% of people outside of this forum who want the OOT would probably be satisfied enough with it as-is.

As they would be if it had the original crawl.

Yeah, it wouldn’t be “pointless” but it would be an unnecessary subversion of the “unaltered” intent.

Basically, there’s no reason to do it except to perpetuate the fact that the unaltered version hasn’t been released.

I think they handled it pretty well despite the shitty premise. The “duel” would have been less than 10 seconds if it were in film or TV and it sewed the seeds of Vader finding out he had a son. Though he could have found that out some other way such as having looking at Luke through a security recording and seeing his old lightsaber and putting two and two together later on.

Meh, it was awful. Vader’s quest for the pilot who destroyed the Death Star in the original Marvel run was pretty epic. Through multiple issues he hunted down any leads he could find to discover the name of the pilot before he finally succeeded:

Very cool but a bit of a continuity snag in hindsight as Vader’s reaction isn’t quite what it would be considering the revelations of certain film yet to be released at the time.
