asses, here are some

I can enjoy Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for what it is without needing it deconstructed or otherwise reconstituted. Why can’t I feel the same in regards to Star Wars?

One word: OVEREXPOSURE.

JESSICA STEEN

I’m durnk again. But unlike my sister, I know then enough’s enough.

Depending on how long this COVID bullshit goes on, you can expect me to report in this time next month or four months from now. I can go quite a long time without a drunk provided I have something other to relieve stress with.

I’ve seen maybe 15-20 minutes of Annie Hall, and I’d still place it above Star Wars.

Or would I?

Can’t visit my mom in the hospital.
Can’t go to my favourite book/comic book store.
Can’t go to any thrift store.
Can’t even go for a coffee.
Can’t do jack but Jack.
COVID-19’s a c***.

Hoggle kinda looks like Jeff Fahey given the Jeremy Bentham treatment.

I’d cast an '80s porn star as Rey — the bigger the hair, the better.

THE GOONIES (but it didn’t work)

Defective discs are one of my pet peeves.

"Ja, my name is Ilsa Immelman, and I vant to know, how many children do you have?"

"I have two girls and a boy."

"Oh, a boyyy. I don’t vork vith the males, 'cause I used to be one."

When Rey buries the lightsabers, she unearths the cloth-wrapped body (mummy?) of Shmi.

Which then springs to undeath and throttles the life out of her, bringing whole new meaning to “The Rise of Skywalker”.

No money 'til Wednesday. On that day I may get drunk to momentarily smother my crushing depression.

I’m thinking about officially retiring from ot.com on 30 May. That’ll make my time here exactly ten years to the day I joined. Not the worst way to bow out.

Why you always obsessed with leaving?
Why leave? Stay.

My love for Star Wars is in a coma and Off-Topic’s on life support. Most of the current discussions disinterest me, and the few which do stimulate me quickly fizzle out. So I continue coming here out of habit, taking the piss to pass the time. It’s kinda depressing, actually.

Honestly, if “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi” title cards appeared at the start of their respective movies followed by title-less scrolls, I’d prefer that.

This.

I’ve considered it, but my photoshopping skills are pretty mediocre, so I’ve never gone beyond a few recolouring exercises.

Our President thinks we have the memory of goldfish given some of his recent claims and statements in comparison to those he made just a couple of months ago.

Conversely, he has the memory of goldfish and has forgotten his claims/statements made just a couple months ago.

Disney liquid

A list of my influences, arranged in alphabetical order:

• Karl Barth
• Ingmar Bergman
• Wes Craven
• David Cronenberg
• Philip K. Dick
• Jesus of Nazareth
• Peter Kropotkin
• H. P. Lovecraft
• David Lynch
• Guy Maddin
• Karl Marx
• Rod Serling
• Paul Tillich
• Leo Tolstoy
• Simone Weil
• Alfred North Whitehead

These are all filmmakers, writers, philosophers, and theologians whose individual perspectives/aesthetics have influenced, in big ways and small, directly and indirectly, my own. From Whitehead, Weil, and Tillich I’ve gained my understanding of God and creation, and it is this God which operates in the shared multiverse of my stories. From Barth I’ve gained my understanding of evil, and I find this understanding of evil best represented through the eldritch abominations/deities of Lovecraft and the body horror of Cronenberg. From Jesus, Kropotkin, Tolstoy, and a lesser degree Marx, an ideal humanity and civilization. From Lynch, themes of duality and absurdism. And I could be here all day, futilely trying and failing to cogently convey why these creators resonate with me.

Why on earth would someone want to edit their posts to a .?

Because it gets to the point.
