LOL. This isn’t too far off from a more serious take I had.

😃

Shit.

Also, Hitler profile pic is almost certainly a joke.

Don’t underestimate the gumption of neo-Nazis.

Also, I actually came here because I have a question; how do you put a link in words? Like you did for every link in the first post (the link to the discord server, about and help pages, etc.). I’d like to change my signature so I don’t have the full link in there.

[WORDS] (LINK)

Remove the space, and you’ve got a working hyperlink.

I find it catchy, something “Jedi Ro[t]s” frankly is not.

Both 1983 & 1997 versions suck.

I don’t know why I’ve never seen this before now, but McQuarrie’s Wampa design was way creepier than any of the live action versions they actually built.

Too bad they didn’t cast Bolaji Badejo to play the wampa.

incredible feats such as ripping open the crust of Mustafar and the netherworld of the Force itself against it’s will (as seen in the comics taking place between ROTS and ANH)

Ugh.

new in 1993, and still relatively new in 1995

But My Neighbor Totoro was released in 1988.

Vertigo, while still a good film is overrated. The decision to reveal the truth too early breaks the suspense of the film. The film would have been better if we learned the truth when Jimmy Stewart’s character did.

Or if neither we nor he learned the truth and the film closed on ambiguity.

Han should’ve had his limbs eaten by the Ewoks, forcing Leia to carry him on her back the rest of the movie.

Edit the Stormtrooper’s casual conversation when Obi-Wan disables the tractor beam in ANH so instead of talking about ships one of them is talking about a one-night stand they had.

This isn’t the “Best Edit Ideas” thread.

Watched it up to the point fat divorcee Spider-Man appeared, then turned it off. Found it absolutely uninteresting; I won’t be finishing it.

No come on - tell us what you REALLY feel - don’t hold back!

Rey is a power bottom. That’s why she has such muscular thighs.

Order 66 is one of the weakest scenes in an already weak film. The Jedi are way too easily dispatched, and don’t fade when they die. Vader can’t “hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights” if all of them are dispatched this easily.

Agree with almost everything you said. The thing where they don’t fade when they die, though? Doesn’t bother me.

And here’s why.

*dramatic pause*

Jedi fading away when they die is a stupid concept and has been since Day 1.

Black Fire (James Kidman)

I borrowed a copy of this novel from my local library in 2008. It read it and absolutely loved it, so much so I immediately wanted to own a copy. It took me 'til 2017 to purchase one, and finally a month ago to take it off the shelf and begin the re-read.

I considered Black Fire a masterpiece in my twenties. Now that I’m older and wiser(?), I see the flaws. The protagonist, while sympathetic, lacks personality; the dialogue skews toward cliched/banal, especially the exchanges between the protagonist and his girlfriend; the plot twist at the end isn’t exactly unpredictable. Those are the cons, but there are certainly pros. Black Fire is rich with imagery, atmosphere, and emotion; as a “right-brained” individual, I find these qualities compensate for the novel’s shortcomings.
