So, a staggering three weeks after I ordered them (God bless the international postal system) my two blu-ray copies of “Halloween 6 - The Fantabulous Producer’s Cut” have arrived.

I don’t have the option to return the one I ordered by accident so one of you lucky people gets to have it. Brand new, factory sealed and complete with not one but two of those really annoying security sticker seal things Americans put down the sides of their blu-ray boxes.

Free. From me to you. Because I’m just that nice. It’ll cost you money if you buy it. This one won’t cost you a thing. It might, however, take bloody ages to arrive depending on where you live though. But it’s absolutely free so that’s a small price to pay. The price, as previously mentioned, is nothing. Who wants it then? Hurry, while stocks last!*

*The stock is one.

Damn, I’d love one but I’m pretty sure the region code would be different from what my blu-ray player can handle.

Last Album Listened To
Time

I listened to the three most popular blink-182 albums because I was bored.

Enema of the State (1999)

I mean, it’s a pop punk classic, how can I not love it? It’s an album that I keep returning to just because it’s so fun. I’m guessing a lot of you dislike this band but whatever, I still love this album.

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001)

This one gets hyped a lot by blink fans, but I think it’s kind of meh. It’s not as fun or catchy as Enema of the State and not as interesting or experimental as the untitled album. I love the singles and the joke track but overall it’s not one I would listen to all the way through again.

untitled (blink-182) (2003)

I find this one to be a really good album. I don’t listen to it as much as Enema but I find it more intriguing and varied. Some of the experimental songs pay off, and others pay off less, but overall the album comes together very well.

I haven’t watched TFA in a while. I think when I do rewatch it soon, my opinion of it will turn out lesser than I had it before.

It will. TFA diminishes like a fart in the wind upon subsequent viewings.

Nah that’s Rogue One.

What do you know?

Lots of useless information that will never get me anywhere important, like that Rogue One is boring.

I don’t hate CGI but there’s been two decades of crappy stuff that doens’t fool the eye for very long. I don’t think CGI spaceships impressed me until the 2009 Star Trek film. And bad CGI still happens. Justice League allegedly being the latest example of when a human in a suit might have been better.

I agree, I think that a lot of movies from the 90s and 00s have aged so much quicker and more poorly than stuff from the 80s and earlier, and it really is down to CGI. Bad practical effects are so much easier to look at than bad CGI (see The Evil Dead for poor but charming practical effects, and Ash vs Evil Dead for poor, hideous looking CGI). It’s the same with 3D animation. I can watch Snow White which is from almost a century ago, and it still looks good, but Toy Story which has some of the best 3D animation for the time, is still obviously dated.

And about Luke not actually being a great pilot because he gets helped a couple times, agree you forgetting he and wedge are the only ones who even survive?

There’s a Y-wing flying away at the end too.

If only three Rebel pilots survived the DS battle, then who the heck are all these guys?

I presume they were keeping the majority of TIE fighters occupied elsewhere while designated squadrons made the trench runs, and flew off in a different direction once Luke made a successful torpedo shot.

Maybe the pilots at the end of A New Hope are brand new pilots that jumped ship from the Imperial Academy and they just finished their Rebel indoctrination. The awards ceremony at the end of the movie could’ve taken place a few days after the Battle of Yavin unless otherwise stated in the shooting script.

Nah, one of the books explains it by saying there’s only thirty available ships so those at the celebration couldn’t fly up with Luke and Co.

It really doesn’t take that much effort.

Kinda is when you have no confidence whatsoever when it comes to women. Seriously, most people I hang out with say that I’m a lot of things, but I’m not boring, but whenever I’m around girls I’m so nervous about appearing to be an asshole that I just become a hollow boring shell of myself, which leads to me having quite a few girl friends, but no girlfriends.

Now lets change the subject and talk about how ridiculous it is that I have ROTS ahead of ROTJ and TFA.

At least it isn’t above Rogue One.

It is for me. Most of them are above Rogue One, mainly because I find that movie utterly tedious, with all the boring characters, especially Jyn, who is the most bland protagonist in any Star Wars film.
