I’d say burn it with fire, but it appears that’s already been tried and failed.

I saw this and couldn’t resist one last post… this is a wonderful example of how little has changed. Way back on June 13th 1983 the proto-internet Usenet allowed for a regular fan, not a professional movie reviewer or journo, to post his thoughts about George Lucas’s new movie Return Of The Jedi.

[trimmed for brevity]

So there you have it… proof that butthurt Star Wars nerds have been around long before this current generation of whiners and nitpickers nursing their rings following The Last Jedi!

Actually, it’s proof that some people had enough insight to realize ROTJ was crap from Day 1 instead of wallowing in nostalgic delusion for four decades.

• A wife (preferably a natural redhead of Irish/Scots background with blue eyes and an incredible singing voice)

Gosh, you’re pretty demanding.

It’s only demanding if I’d accept nothing else, which isn’t the case.

As a fan you either adapt or die.

Or go insane.

The middle way sure can suck sometimes.

In no particular order:

• A wife (preferably a natural redhead of Irish/Scots background with blue eyes and an incredible singing voice)
• Children (especially a daughter)
• A job as a filmmaker
• Financial security
• Happiness

This movie will take a while before everyone likes it

WarGames (1983) - 3/5

Absurd, but not stupid.  Not sure if that description will make sense to anyone but myself, but it works for me.

You should know better than to underestimate me.

It’s actually a 0-9.

I’m glad I discovered process theology.

I read 13 of the 20 stories in this book (not counting A Christmas Carol, which I did read, but as its own separate book years ago). Of those thirteen, I only really liked five: “The Ghosts of the Mail”, “A Madman’s Manuscript”, “The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton”, “Christmas Ghosts”, and “The Signal-Man”; the remaining eight ran the gamut from “meh” to “not bad” to “would’ve been excellent if it weren’t for the poor ending”. Sorry to say this book ain’t a keeper.

My two new little buddies, Fez and Echo:

Is Fez as much a deviated prevert as his namesake?

Why didn’t anyone tell me Curt Swan drew Superman again for a while post-Crisis‽

You never asked.

Chappie (2015)

I can’t remember for sure but it seems like people didn’t really like this. I did, despite it at times feeling like a cross between District 9 and Short Circuit.

8/10

i do remember hearing bad things about it, but i never saw it.

first i thought you rated it 0/10
then i thought you rated it ∞/10

first is only used by Mala for trolling
second is that’s not how ratings work!

true, i think we are on the barney system now

You bet your sweet ass we are.

Mark’s broke her own rules. Therefore I consider them no longer binding.

Re-read the rules my sweet, I wrote them for the rest of you to follow and very clearly used the word your and not our.

Basically, I can jolly well predict whatever I like in this thread!

Do as I say, not as I do. Is that it?

I predict rebellion.

Let the man *sigh*.

Yeah, the spoiler thread sucks lately.

don’t wanna give away too much, since it seems that this ain’t so much of a spoiler thread after all

Funny how that pans out.
