I have not been and I think I am going to give it a miss... Could anyone who has seen it imagine it being superior with John Williams music?
Or is it just that bad and even music won't save it?
I love music more than anything in life, but great music never turned a bad movie into a good one. Ever.
Ditto
The original is SO much better,
Yeah, well not every member of the populace banks with Coutts Darth Solo lol
Yeah exactly the same system is in place here, except banks don't charge you to use other banks cashpoints. That, I'm afraid, is taking the piss. But there you go. *shrug*

good news, found my car.
Nice one Warbler. Panic over :)
What?? That's severely taking the piss!!!! Over here you can use your card at any ATM, any bank, building society, for free. It doesn't matter. And the cashpoints cater for every type of card that's available. The only ones that charge (usually £1.50 per transaction) are in pubs and corner shops (convenience stores) and you'll only use them if your either drunk or in a hurry. Man, the things you learn. Lol

Pfft. Plumbers. I don't need one those. I've plumbed houses and know the in's and out's of pipes. I'll save myself some money and do it myself. Or I could just put in a work order and wait a few more weeks for management to get their own maintenance guys out and have them poking around my place while I'm off at work.
Fuck that. No one comes in my place to fix shit unless I'm there.
A 'foreign' cashpoint visit? Wtf?

A Foley catheter, and a colostomy would do the trick.
I'm not incontinent. Not yet anyway...

I look forward to reading C3PX's next issue.
My next issue is dees damn pipes! The bathroom sink fills half way up with water every time we go to wash our hands. I've fished several beards worth of hair out of the thing (so gross), and it still won't drain. Every time the toilet flushes there are weird burps and gurgles resonating from within the walls for the next ten minutes.
Going to get some drain-o when I'm at the store and remember, but I'm afraid it might need to be snaked.
Tune in next time for more of C3PX's issues.
Get a plumber. Issue solved.

Absolutely love Jackie Chan. Most of my favourites are hs old Hong Kong stuff such as Wheels on Meals, Dragon Lord, Project A (1&2) Armour of God, Police Story (1&2) and loads more. Also a big fan of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.
Fantastic stuff. Years ago I belonged to a shop a company called Shaolin Video in London that imported Hong Kong films uncut and undubbed. I would buy them just for the fight scenes alone. Eastern Condors, Shanghai Express, Miracles, First Mission (though that wasn't its Hong Kong name) Winners & Sinners, Mr Vampire. There were so many. This is one of absolute favourite end fights from Eastern Condors with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao

Who are you again?
I had in mind to ask you the same question. But then I looked into your fb page and must openly admit, the helmet's quite cool. Even though I think the Clone Troopers were wank. So fair play TK-949.

My cat's breath smells like cat food.
My piss smells of sugar puffs in the morning. Go figure..
Well over an hour and a half?? That don't sound good. As you said, when its light go back and search then and keep your fingers crossed. Hope you find it. That would piss me off no end as well.
CP3S said:
So, realistically, Hey, what do you feel like the solution is?
I'm sure I answered a question similar to that earlier in this thread. Realistically? It's gone beyond the point of being able to do anything. The only one glimmer of hope is that UKIP get in at the next election.
Darth Solo said:
Thank you very much, i just stepped outside for a smoke now, after 3 days going abstinant.....
Now i thing your a fag teaser.
I'm on my sixth day. And I'll be lying if I said there haven't been moments where I've felt like tearing my hair out.
Darth Solo said:
Oh snap.... Thats all ive got
(Pissed off cat growl) doing that right now ;)

Speaking of surprise, we were up for a big surprise in 1999.
Don't remind me! Lol. All the ingredients are different this time though I feel. The cake won't turn out to be tasteless, charred mess. (Like one of my drunken fry ups) ;)
imperialscum said:
Well Disney will sure make it as good as possible. But that "good" is defined by today's mainstream expectations (which does not reflect mine).
I could be wrong. Maybe the films will be good after all.
I understand your doubts. But JJ aside, the likes of Arndt, Kasdan, Kinberg et al are reasons for optimism. And they're all massive fans. As for JJ? he will probably get the best script and screenplay he's ever had to work with from Arndt. It's going to be interesting to see what he does with it.

Where was the surprise with the prequels? What twists and turns were in it? Where was the anticipation of not knowing where the story was going next? The intention of telling a good (albeit, ultimately known story) was hmm, say, maybe 30% of the reason behind making the films. Everything was half arsed. Apart from the design of it. Gotta make the toys look good.
What?!?!?!?! Where was the surprise with the prequels?...
The suspenseful un-answered questions, that's where. Like...
Why did the Jedi design a fighter that required an Astro-Droid but was so low to the ground that the Astro-Droid couldn't get out (Except by using it's rocket boosters)?
Why is Anakin alowed to dress in cool looking black-leather while all the other Jedi have to dress like Monks?
How did Padme get through the first 20 years of her life without seeing a waterfall?
Why are Jedi impervious to heat?
Just who was Master Syfo Dyas anyway?
How come the Naboo starfighter was designed with no landing gear?
What is Jawa juice?
Why does Count Dooku keep his ship on the other side of the planet to his base of operations?
Why is the high ground so damned important?
And of course, how do you stop your own heart when your husband has just become a sith?
^ It's these kind of enternal mysteries that keep me coming back to this endlessly fascinating trilogy! ;-)

Maybe i did overreact, a little. But giving up smoking is some hard shit.
