Damn, here I was over in the General Star Wars section saying we should be nicer to guys who have different viewpoints than us. Good thing I added that little thing in about totally going to war against people who attack us! Chrisdo is the biggest douche I have seen here... ever, to be honest! About ten times worse than AWK, even! Let's tally up the strikes:

Ageist
Racist
Sexist
Pro-slavery

I was going to add "not too terribly intelligent," but I'm sure that's not his own fault, so I'm not going to blame him for it. Seriously, do you have anything constructive to add to this forum, or are you just going to take pot shots at the clearly more mature Darth_Evil by making jokes about porn and sex (which is extremely immature in the first place!)? I think it's about time you take your trolling somewhere else, like to some KKK forum or something, because that's the only place I can think of that would possibly share your narrow-minded, egotistical views!

Moving in from the Basher's Sanctuary (TF.n)

You prefer the SEs, zombie?! Well, you need to be banned from here then since you represent an alternative viewpoint! Heh, just kidding, but I am surprised. I didn't know that. But damn, those TF.n boards are crazy. It almost makes me sick to my stomach to read this thread.

I would like to bring up a point, though. Although we are, specifically, an OOT site (as is implied in the name), sometimes I get a bit frustrated at how a lot of posters here are so quick to flame those few people who come in here with alternate viewpoints. I don't agree with them either, and I'm quick to retaliate with a counter-argument, but most of the time, their ideas are met with personal attacks. So maybe we could stand to learn a few lessons from the debacle that is TF.n. We can't expect others to play nice if we don't play nice.

EDIT: Just to be fair, I'm going to admit that I've blown up at a few people in the past as well, and I need to work on that. But if they start attacking us, then it's on!

Exactly! Disney is no longer Disney. They just jumped on the CGI bandwagon, which I'm sure will die soon. It's a fun gimmick, but most people grew up on traditional animation. The only people who have grown up on CGI are people born from the year 2000 and on. THet worst thing about CGI films is that most of them have horrible stories and voice acting. Because its CGI and is more complicated than 2-d drawing, they focus more on the Animation than on the story, and its killing modern animation. I can honestly say I've only enjoyed one animated film this year, and it was Cars. Pixar always gets it right, especially with John Lasseter at the helm. (Although Incredibles was horrible.) Pixar films seem to fit with CGI. They have strong stories accompnoied by strong CGI, and it fits. I don't bother to see CGI films anymore. I wish Disney would just try to re-capture the magic they once had, the magic that died back in the mid-ninties....


I agree that Cars was awesome! But you thought The Incredibles sucked?! That's my favorite Pixar movie ever! Not saying your opinion is not valid, but I'd love to hear exactly why.

In Mos Eisley, when the violent, tyranical, and supposedly discourteous Imperial Stormtroopers are searching door to door, why did they decide to skip any door that was locked?! Oh, yeah, because nobody would think to hide something secret behind a locked door!


I know what a nomad is, Tiptup. I was a bit confused as to what dessert nomads do. Do they wander around parfaits?

And, yeah, that door thing always puzzled me. They busted open the similar-looking door of the Tantive IV, so why couldn't they start busting down doors here? It is an Empire after all!

I thought most of your points were funny, but I do have to address a few of them.

1: What are dessert nomads?
2: How can there be no cameras on the Death Star if you claim that shooting out the cameras is not enough to prevent the Empire from knowing they're rescuing the princess.
3: I love that point about Leia taking the Empire back to her hideout. There was actually a flash movie posted here a while ago that made fun of that, if the person who posted it is reading and knows where it is... Then, instead of orbiting the planet, the Death Star just blows it up and mows right on through. Fun stuff.

My Mum and I don't really - how can I put this... gel - as a result I had a pretty bad falling out with my parents the day before I left England and I don't think it will ever really be fixed with me living here now. But we are playing nicey-nicey on the phone so whatever. They actually missed my university graduation and cos we had an argument. My Mum's pretty nuts actually and my Dad always backs her up (he has to I guess).


I guess if I had to choose one over the other it'd be my mom. My mom's pretty nuts like yours (actually, I'd be willing to bet mine wins hands down, but I'm not one to be airing family laundry so openly). In grade school, part of my own reputation was tied in with my mother's because everyone I hung around with knew how crazy she was and constantly made fun of me for it. My father... well, to be honest, I don't really know him well enough to have that much of an opinion of him, and that's part of why I don't like him all that much.

NOT WEAR MAKE-UP??? that's like you guys on the general forum not talking about star wars. well okay, to me makeup is everything and everything from moisturizer (spf 30 ppl! nobody wants to get skin cancer) to powder to lipstick. on days that one would say i'm 'not' wearing makeup, i'm almost always wearing moisturizer and probably some eyeliner. at least the swelling is kinda going down. i can now partially see out of my right eye!


Is it that heretical an idea? I think girls look better without makeup and shouldn't feel they need it to look beautiful.
