Anyone still holding out for an Emperor cameo? I’m aware McDiarmid publicly denied involvement with the movie, but I wonder if he’ll still make a surprise appearance in the end.
If he does I hope they get his makeup right this time.
This. Also, no references to him as “Darth Sidious” or “Sidious”.
This is how I’d rank the DCEU so far:
- Don’t give a shit
- BvS was one of the worst films I’ve ever seen
Agree with you 120% on #1.
As for #2, I’ll take your word for it.

Since I last posted here, I’ve purchased the following CDs:
That’ll unconfuse him.
I assure you, my emotional reaction is perfectly inert.
While I’m here, I’d just like to say that I’ve gone about two months without getting drunk. Fo’s ongoing feud with the forum is making a relapse awful tempting, though.
You have undone us, worthy malefactor.
“Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?”
“What?”
“I always ask that of all my prey. I just like the sound of it.”
I have an old soul. I think it comes from someone who was in their nineties back in the 1910s.
I’m partial to this one:
Huh? Is that palatine? I’m confused.
You are a true believer. Blessings of the state, blessings of the masses. Thou art a subject of the divine. Created in the image of man, by the masses, for the masses.
Stupidity and the EU (old or nu) have become so synonymous to me that I barely twitch a muscle at any of the inane crap they decide to canonize anymore.
For example, this
Kyber crystals were inherently attuned to the light side of the Force, and would attempt to resist any effort by dark side practitioners to utilize them in lightsabers. To this end, the only way a Sith, or other darksider could make use of a kyber crystal was to use the Force to dominate the crystal, bending it to their will. This process would cause the crystal to “bleed”, as if it were a living organism, resulting in the distinctive crimson-bladed lightsabers synonymous with the Sith.
would’ve once made me react in this fashion:
But now, the angriest I’ll get is this:
There will be … there will be.
Here’s a better, quirkier dream than the one recounted last time.
I was travelling on the bus, drinking a Diet Cherry Coke, and who should happen to be on the bus but Alanis Morissette herself. She, too, was drinking a Diet Cherry Coke and having a conversation with another musical icon (I don’t recall who, but I wanna say Debbie Gibson).
Anyway, after finishing my Coke, I decided I wanted some more, so I conspired to steal Alanis’. I quickly discarded that plan, though. Instead, I decided I wanted to impress her with my musical talent and began singing this song aloud. One or two other people on the bus joined in, but Alanis still failed to take notice.
The dream then took a change for the weird, and for some reason some government official appeared on the bus and charged the bus driver 25.11 for something on my behalf (that’s not 25 dollars and 11 cents; that’s 25.11 cents). The bus driver said neither he nor the bus company would be paying for it, that I would have to pay it, 'cause they didn’t have the funding to cover it. The official said they did, the bus driver stressed that they didn’t, and they continuing arguing from there.
Then a cute woman in her twenties with frizzy blond hair and a red backpack appeared on the bus. Then suddenly she and I were transported off the bus into the middle of these overgrown woods. There was this large dark blue sheet stretched out in the middle of the woods, with the shadowy side leading into some realm of supernatural darkness. The dream trailed off there.
Proof-positive that TV’s Frink Computer is making this forum great again.
I didn’t think distinctive voices were hereditary, then I found out Cree Summer’s father was Don Francks.
It firing on Scarif would be pretty weird. But then again that’s the sort of crazy thing that the Empire might do.
I thought when they destroy Alderaan in SW that it was the first time the superlaser was used.
Well, the RO trailer does show the DS firing on Jedha. However the super laser is most likely not fully operational at this point, hence it doesn’t blow up the entire planet and instead just causes a lot of destruction. I guess they did this in RO so that the DS can still be a big threat to the main characters without undermining ANH. Alderaan was simply the first test of the “fully operational” DS and its planet destroying capabilities. In RO it seem to only be capable of blowing up a city-sized area.
Ugh…
Why “ugh”? Like SilverWook said, it makes sense for them to test the unfinished laser. Also since the plot of RO seem to revolve around Kyber crystals from Jedha and Galen’s expertise on them, it makes sense that they would have a weaker laser during this film.
Also ANH characters constantly bragging about the “fully armed and operatinal” DS does mean that it should be unfinished in RO. It’d be silly if it just hovered over some planet all the time doing nothing.
this has mostly been my take as well. that shot from the trailer almost certainly is the death star in some low power mode / not working mode. and if it isn’t the death star, i would be slightly annoyed that there is some other amazing weapon we never heard of…
I don’t believe you! It’s another trick!
Oh yes, I feel better now. I still have a bit of a cough, but the other symptoms are long gone.
I think, therefore you are.
You will even. You will even or you will die.
I never said you were a sock holy crap, just a plain ol’ sock.
DANCE FOR US, SOCK, DANCE!!!
There’s also Blue Velvet. It’s odd, but not “Twilight Zone meets Azathoth” odd.
Deadpool is honestly the first comic book movie I’ve enjoyed since The Punisher with Thomas Jane.
Oh, and I wanna see Frink’s superhero outfit now.
