I stopped paying attention to The Simpsons years ago.  They don't exist in my world anymore.  I don't get why other people can't do the same.

It's like seeing a beloved pet get rabies and then, instead of being put to merciful sleep, put on life support but never cured of the disease, turning into a twisted, ravening monster that is only alive because the whim of twisted individuals deems it so.

I'm tired of seeing something I once loved twisted into a perverse mockery of what it once was, and I'd literally give an eye just to see it put out of its misery. 

That's odd. I haven't read a single Dick Tracy story in my life, and even I know that he wears a wrist-radio.

I would have liked Nemesis better had Shinzon had an actual reason for wanting to destroy Earth and Data been treated with a semblance of respect.

It was no more daft than Khan's vendetta against Kirk.

If it wasn't for the Federation Shinzon would not have been born to a life of slavery, sickness and perpetual darkness.

If it wasn't for Kirk, Khan would be still frozen or executed for hijacking and would never have met his wife.

I still think it would have made more sense to set his sights on the Romulus; after all, the Romulans are the ones who directly made him the man he was, and he already hated them with a genocidal passion, anyway.

Shouldn't your wrath be directed at the people still watching it?

 Who's to say it isn't?

I love fish -- especially the three-eyed variety.

Ric is an obvious attention whore.

That review sounds like it was written by a teenager, and a stupid one at that.

I vote that I haven't been to the toilet for five years.

 You must be backed up something fierce.

Not impossible, just improbable.

I'm not fond of the way the Great Sith War was ultimately handled in the pages of the TOTJ storyline The Sith War.

Prior references to the war in other comics and books built the Sith War up to be this huge, galaxy-spanning war between the forces of light and darkness that spanned several years and brought the Jedi close to the brink of destruction. But when it was finally depicted, the war lasted all but under a year and consisted of a few battles in a few systems.

KJA was the writer, though, so it all makes sense; he's good at taking other peoples' ideas and sucking all the grandeur out of them.

 Where was the Great Sith War talked about before "The Sith War"?

I think there are a few references to the war in the Jedi Academy Trilogy and Empire's End.

The black plague and the holocaust, just to name two, would like a word with you.

 But Duracell didn't have to live through that, so how could all those horrible deaths and atrocities be worse than living in a world where you can simply choose not to watch Michael Bay type films or listen Lil' Wayne type music but instead choose to turn your attention to all of the wonderful artists at work today? IT'S HORRIBLE!!!

 I see you humans haven't discovered "hyperbole" yet.

Esti a? ne esti, tiel staras la demando-
?u 'tis pli nobla en la menso suferi 
La profundaj kaj Sagoj de superakvego Fortuno, 
A? preni Armilojn kontra? maro de suferoj, 
Kaj per kontra?aj fini ilin?

This thread gave me so much hope for the future. Yet here we are years later, and this zombified piece of trash is still on the air and in its 25th season.

Whenever I read posts about how the writers behind the Clone Wars series liked the OT and tried to recapture it's flavour, I want to give the show a chance and check out a few episodes. But then I hear about things like Palpatine duelling Maul and his brother with a pair of lightsabers, and I just want to build a raging bonfire for the whole thing.

I'm talking more about Kubrick's films than about Kubrick himself.

Me am Bizarro Ric! Me am not now wondering if you am not a Bizarro version of me instead of me am not being a Bizarro version of you! Can you not or can you provide a question to this answer?

This is what political assassinations are for.

I've decided to say that the 21st century is the worst era in human history, as I hate most of the movies, music, slang, fashions, technology, celebrities, etc, etc, etc. made in the last fourteen years.

Ah, critics and their praise for the PT ... like Ebert, who thought Stargate was no better than an Ed Wood film, considered Home Alone 3 superior to the first two, and who's meagre screenwriting credits consist mainly of porn movies.

Yeah, I don't exactly give a shit about what film critics say.

I love Leonardo's new avatar.

If Plagueis shows up in the ST, not only will I refuse to watch the movies, but I won't so much as watch the trailers, either.
