lol, your profile picture confused me for a sec. I thought you were Smithers.

Maybe this hypothetical personal was so distracted by the amazing acting that they didn’t realize the plot was nonsensical, or vice versa.

I didn’t realize at the time that Boyhood had bad acting & dialogue until Half in the Bag pointed it out to me.

I’m so sick of sheep who can’t watch something and make their own opinion.
I love RLM and often agree with the Half in the Bag reviews. But learn to think for yourself, eh?

I don’t think it’s being a “sheep” to change your mind after someone points out flaws in a movie you didn’t notice before.

It’s been about two months since I began watching Breaking Bad, and I finally finished the final season last night.

It’s one of the best TV series ever made, and I’ll probably never watch it again.

9/10

The final season was a work of art.

Is anyone else having trouble viewing twimg images embedded into posts?

I’m assuming it’s something like AdBlock or NoScript blocking them, but it shouldn’t be…

What browser are you using?

New Rebels episode; meh. Filler episode. I wouldn’t have missed anything if I didn’t watch it. I don’t know why they insist on blueballing (Chiss joke?) us; they know we really want to see Thrawn, Vader and Maul.

I really hate music elitism.

“Oh, that’s not real music. Because I don’t like it, ya see? You’re not allowed to like things I don’t.”

I hate country music, but I don’t go around claiming that it’s not real music or that people who do like it are inferior, I just don’t like it.

I also hate the idea of “EDM artists just push buttons.” Sure, when you put it that way, all Beethoven did was push buttons, all Jimi Hendrix did was pluck at some strings. Anything can sound small and boring when you boil it down to it’s simplest form.

I wonder if that shot influenced Anakin’s look in The Clone Wars?

Damn, that’s a good catch.

Apocalypse Now? It’s got a pretty orange and green color scheme.

I’ve finally fallen victim to the dreaded double post.

Just what we needed around here almost a year later, a new TFA kvetching thread which includes cripple fight, pussy, and reverse racism comments.

What you should have said. Just burn this thread to the ground already.

There’s no such thing as reverse racism.

This thread is a real shitshow.

I’d love to see a full list of changes.

The VFX did look a bit gamey when up close, but I couldn’t tell a difference with the wide angle shot.

i have plans to do TPM, and with that i am playing around with the idea of adding Dooku to TPM by replacing Sidious with him. I have a few ideas that may correct the “gamey” look.

Sounds awesome. I’m looking forward to it.

The dude who’s running the campaign hasn’t answered me yet. If this is a scam, then I just lost some dough cause GoFundMe doesn’t have a real return policy. I don’t know anything about Sonny’s personal life (or that he ran for the office, even), I just watch Predator 20 times a year and felt compelled to do something when I read this online.

Should’ve done more research. Will edit the original post with a warning.

Apologies if I messed up.

Ain’t your fault.

If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you donate?

Well first off, I don’t care about anything outside of the movies, but that’s a personal choice. With that said, what exactly are you using as your personal canon (I hate the term “headcanon” and refuse to use it)? Is this based on something tangible, or just a fan fiction story in your head? Did someone create a good Anakin character?

Really, just TCW and the RotS novelization did wonders for me. I think that the book format is much better for telling Anakin’s story, and TCW made him a much more likable character.

If we’re just talking movies,

That’s the thing though, I’m not.

It also made his transition into Vader more believable by sprinkling moments of darkness throughout. Moments like these make some of the sillier stuff worth it;

Context: Obi-Wan faked his death and disguised himself as the dude who “killed” him, Anakin was under the impression that Obi-Wan really was dead.

But worst of all is the complete lack of backstory combined with the fact that TFA really has no driving motivation for any character other than plot advancement.

I have to agree. I really didn’t care about any of the characters, they only served to forward the plot. I’m definitely gonna be crucified for this; but I think that Anakin was a more compelling character than any of the protagonists in TFA (for various reasons, but that’s another discussion entirely).

Lol what. I can’t tell if you’ve actually seen the PT.

I don’t think the movies are an adequate representation of what happened. It’s like ludonarrative dissonance, but instead of video games, it’s in movies.

I’m going to ignore your second sentence (because what)

Ludonarrative dissonance is the concept in video games that the narrative differs from the gameplay. I’m saying that the ‘true’ narrative of the prequels differs from what is presented in the movies.

and point out that Anakin is not a real person. There is no “adequate representation of what happened.”

Why not? It’s just an extension of the concept of ‘headcanon’.

I really hope this is satire, but I don’t think it is.
