playing video games is not a sport. There is nothing athletic about it.

Seems to fit this definition.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Let’s say, if video games were to become a sport women would probably be better if they were as dedicated as men. Unfortunately it’s another activity that got lost in the sexist world. “Video games are for boys…”

video games aren’t sports.

huh?

Sorry but I can’t consider something I do while having a snack and sitting in a comfy chair in front of my computer a sport.

That’s just because of how you’re playing them.

We’ll see what an investigation/lawsuit turns up.

no,no,no,no,no,no. We don’t wait for investigations and evidence and trials anymore. The cops are guilty. They murders and they shoot the guy because they hate his race. We all know it, we don’t need any investigation or evidence or trial! Benefit of the doubt/reasonable doubt don’t matter anymore.

lol

I’d quote a section of the article, but the entire thing is so insane that I can’t pick just one part.

Swearing and nudity should not only be allowed on broadcast television, but encouraged.

Very unique idea for an edit. PM sent.

I got banned from the Star Wars subreddit for telling someone how to get the Despecialized editions. GG

I don’t know why I keep going back to that place.

"Daily reminder that Rouge[sic] One was a masterpiece"

“DAE think the prequels were not that bad?”

“I know the prequels are controversial, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on…”

And you have click on the thread to finish the sentence because this poster decided to take a page out of the BuzzFeed playbook, and all it says is;

“the lightsaber fights were epic.”

And every time an upcoming movie is discussed, everybody is floating these goofy fan-fiction level ideas or things that have been said a thousand times before.

“I think we can all agree that the Obi-Wan movie should be a gritty western”

Or it’s someone pointing out a detail from a movie and providing a child’s analysis of it.

“Anakin force-choking Padme is subtle foreshadowing of the revelation that Darth Vader is actually Anakin”

“Anakin’s shadow right before he leaves to find his mother is a visual callback to the Darth Vader helmet. It’s so dense, every single frame has so much going on”

Yes, and “very good of its kind” may be damning with faint praise but we all know that’s as good as it gets with space fantasy movies.

I didn’t get that memo. I’m less impressed by the great dramas, perhaps, but I think a movie can be evaluated on its own terms, whatever Blockbuster shelf it would have sat on, whatever box office success it had, and whatever a professional critic had to say about it.

Mrebo can you name me 5 family films from 2016-2017 that you consider to be superior to The Last Jedi? That you personally like more?

https://youtu.be/9eJXB0FQPD0 - good analysis on why Snoke in the ST doesn’t work like Palpatine worked in the OT.

Just what we all need, another no-name youtuber giving his reasons why nu star wars sux.

Maybe you should watch the video before trashing it. Just a thought.

Scrolling through this and…Lol, I have never seen such a shallow, circle jerk thread.

Good thing you brought the substance this thread needed.

Even Trump occasionally stumbles upon a good idea

Replace the Cantina music with a hit song from 10 years ago. It’s not new enough to be relevant, but not old enough to be retro cool, just awkward. Preferably some sort of rap.

I’ll get right on that.

Well, in that case it makes sense because the Empire was supposed to be evocative of the Nazis. Seeing black ladies as imperial officers wouldn’t work if you’re trying to make the bad guys Nazis.

😉

We need a thread for this.

Multiple pages of argument in the TLJ Review thread over whether or not Luke force-choked the Gamorrean guards at Jabba’s palace.

Blade Runner 2049; the 2049th movie in the Blade Runner franchise, and the movie meant to kick off the Drive-Blade Runner shared universe, takes some bold risks, but ultimately isn’t as fun or action-packed as the other 2048 installments. Ryan Gosling returns as The Driver, but gone are the clever wisecracks and pop-culture references that littered Drive, instead replaced with a dark, brooding, and dare I say boring, character. I left the theater feeling confused and empty, why was Jared Leto a robot? Was Harrison Ford playing a character, or did he just wander onto the set? Why was The Driver dating a cartoon?

Boring, nonsensical. 7/10

What about a thread where we review movies that we haven’t seen?

No joke, though, I think this could be a funny thread.

With almost 40,000 people killed in the U.S. each year in car accidents, should self-driving cars be required in the not distant future?

Yes.

Red Letter Media posted a video on Youtube where they were basically mocking other people who review Star Wars online by the way they were acting, and I thumbed it down because I thought it was kind of obnoxious to mock Star Fans even if they can be over the top, but I thought about it later it it was actually a pretty spot on parody. Christopher Nolan fans probably have the highest ratio of of annoying fans to not annoying fans of any fanbase, but Star Wars has to be up there.

You’re talking about The Nerd Crew? I thought those were hilarious; and I don’t think they were meant to mock Star Wars fans particularly, just a very specific type of “[pop/nerd]-culture commentators.” Also, if you changed your mind, you better have gone back and un-disliked it 😉
