Now I have to see that movie myself.

I like the raptor tease.

Is that the part where it shows a bit of leg?

Meh. Not enough scales.

I suspected this guy was gonna turn out to be a noxious little bitch the moment he threw a hissy fit in the re-writing subforum just 'cause some guys didn’t share his vision for the ideal PT; now it’s been confirmed.

Well now I gotta go check that out…

Perhaps “hissy fit” was too strong a term, but he was definitely acting pissy for no good reason.

Here’s the relevant post:

I really like Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains, so I must be of Generation X (at least spiritually).

Can we have mismatched socks?

I don’t believe you! It’s another trick!

I probably must be one of the only people who prefers ANH’ Vader, both the suit and acting by Prowse/Jones.

“You are part of a rebel alliance and a traitor! Take her away!” Love those hand gestures.

While I prefer the TESB suit for the most part, I certainly like the gloves Vader wore in SW over the later pairs. They looked swankier.

I know it’s just a movie, but is it believable to think that Anakin could survive those burns even with the suit?

You’re seriously asking this question in a movie universe with faster than light space travel, prosthetic limbs that are indistinguishable from real limbs, laser blasters and swords, and literal midi-chlorians?

FTFY

Well, guys, it looks like you won’t be hearing me bitch about the hot weather much anymore. As of this afternoon, I moved out of my old heatsink of a room into the basement, where it is much cooler.

Of course, it does smell down here. Oh, and there’re black widows lurking about, too.

Ha.

I don’t even care how good Iron Maiden is or is not, that album cover is ridiculous.

It reminds me of a Goosebumps cover, so that makes it awesome and ridiculous.

Everyone, meet Darth Id 2.0!

Here on out, BillionaireBozo is on spiritual ignore.

I certainly know what I’d like to see in a real-world reboot: a human race without fundamentalists – be they religious or irreligious in nature.

And with that, I’m out of here. As the young’uns today say, “Catch ya on the flip-side”.

I don’t think my mother could ever be a Mormon. She drinks at least a dozen cups of coffee every single day. 😉

Yeah, I’m bowing out of this thread for the foreseeable future.

Y’know, I do have respect for atheists. I’ve encountered a fair number of them over the Internet over the years, and a fair share of them are pretty decent guys; they aren’t shy to make their skepticism/criticism of religion/theism known, but they tend to remain well-mannered and respectful, never going out of their way to resort to strawman arguments or inflammatory language to insult or belittle their opponents even when their opponents failed to do likewise. Some of those atheists frequent this very forum, I might add. Unfortunately, most of them aren’t here right now.

I’ll just end this post with an apology to Mike O; if you’re reading this, I’m truly sorry for inadvertently sparking off this worthless discussion; you don’t deserve the strife.

Because I’m making a general comment about a belief that is stupid. I can’t address every single persons personal interpretation. So I make my comments about the idea of “God” that is most widely accepted.

Most widely accepted idea of God? And how, pray tell, did you come to the conclusion that this is the most widely accepted idea of God? Did you read any polls, any statistics which gauged how many Christians were hyperliteralists? Or is this just you making an assumption based on Hollywood Christianity and all the hardcore fundagelical loudmouths who go out of their way to draw attention towards themselves?

Yes, indeed.

This is why I usually avoid getting into religious debates. Someone’s always gotta start flinging the caustic rhetoric.

Then why use ignorant broad-stroke strawman arguments to cast their beliefs in as stupid a light as possible?

Darth Lucas said:

There is absolutely 0 evidence to support the existence of any god(s). It is a ridiculous ancient notion and I honestly can’t comprehend how intelligent, rational people in the modern age can believe in an invisible man in the sky who created everything and a centuries old man who rounded up two of every animal on a boat and a dirt man and a rib woman and a man living in a whale. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I’m sorry if this offends anyone but it’s all really silly.

FYI, not every Jew/Christian is a Young Earth Creationist who takes every part of the Bible 110% literally.

They could create a fem 005 or a homosexual 0069 and bring in 007 as a supporting character, as Marvel brings other characters to support the individual hero films. A fem 00 might work if done well. Jolie and Johannsen have paved the way. I doubt I’d see a homosexual 00 if it’s primarily a pandering, identity politics gimmick. It would have to have VERY much to recommend it otherwise.
A homosexual Bond or Captain America would be a homo-militant attack on iconic figures of British and American masculinity.
I’m still recovering from being told we MUST believe allowing every pervy bi-sexual cross-dresser to prance into any Girl’s Locker Room is the most glorious idea ever conceived, or else we’re pure evil and deserve to SUFFER AND DIE!!!

Yay, the prodigal conspiracy theorist returns.

I wish you and Darth Id would just get into it and cancel each other out.

 Conspiracy FACTS, my friend, conspiracy FACTS.

I don’t think anyone should suffer or die.
I do think your idea for female, gay or of non-European origin double O agents that aren’t Bond getting spin off movies is a brilliant idea though.
Bond is a pastey faced toff, male heterosexual. His entitled position informs everything he does. His colleques could and should be a diverse bunch.
Spies need to be from a broad group of people in order to remain undetected.

Try having any kind of career or life, say out loud "Two dudes who rub each other's poop on their groins semi-exclusively has nothing to do with marriage." and see how much they value your welfare.
Every character that is straight white and male has to be run-down and diminished these days.
Yeah, you can try out other characters in their own movies without DESTROYING characters beloved by others, but then, that's the point of changing them.
I would prefer the resources go to making a truly great Bond film. They were on the right track. Craig is my favorite Bond and I appreciate the effort to make it a little more real and gritty, but I think they went too far. Skyfall and Casino were fine, but a little small. QOS and the last didn't live up, imo. I'd like a big, high-stakes action/adventure.

All the different gods from religions across the world are just aliens fucking with us and you know it.

I’m unfamiliar with the last two prequels, so I can’t speak to how Padme was portrayed.

Like the typical Barbie, she had quite the extensive wardrobe.

Probably because Alien was R-rated, so they couldn’t watch it 😄

You could if a parent took you to see it.

And an R rating didn’t stop Kenner from making toys. 😉

Somehow the empty eye sockets do make the xenomorph look more kid-friendly.
