Easter Egg written on the bombs in the opening sequence.
Neat! Not sure I noticed the smily face before.
And Kubrick film reference for the win.
I think banter between an actor and director, (playful or otherwise) far removed from the set of the film goes a bit beyond the realm of critique and discussion of the actual film here.
Some fans are so eager now to paint RJ as this horrible monster who took a steamer on Star Wars, they will latch onto anything to support that argument. I fully expect RJ to be accused of indirectly causing Carrie Fisher’s death if this keeps up. 😕
Rian and Carrie really got along well. I wish she was here so she could let loose on the complainers.
I wish she was still around too. I imagine she would use a lot stronger phrase than scruffy looking nerf herder.
They stuck Admiral Ackbar’s head on Grievous’ body and called it a day? I have a new exhibit A the next time somebody disrespects my green meat eating rabbit pal!
The hell of it is, Hasbro will probably make an action figure of this guy.

Nobody has fan edited such a thing yet?
Looks like another Dem pickup in PA, with a big swing of 20 points from 2016, despite being massively outspent. The Republican explanation seems to be that their guy was a particularly lackluster, unappealing candidate, and that may actually be true. For example, would the Dems have picked up Alabama had the Republicans not selected a particularly revolting human? Probably not.
Democrats can’t hope to keep this up indefinitely. What are the chances that EVERY Republican candidate will either be a vacuous empty suit, completely unqualified neophyte, and/or some sort of depraved monster?
Oh, nevermind.
The Legion of Doom sure isn’t what it used to be. 😛
Huh?

So, who’s going to volunteer for the Space Force? 😛
Five bucks says someone will actually go down to a recruiting office and try to enlist in the Space Force.
Pretty sure everybody’s ignoring me again. I’m growing tired of them.
I had thoughts like this about my only two close IRL friends around November/December (I think I even posted about it here a little). Turned out that one was working, like, 6 weeks worth of 12-hour night shifts and the other had just started dating someone new and was nervous about me meeting the guy given our history (well…my history of reacting badly to things like that given my feelings toward her).
Point is, while it’s certainly possible that you’re right, it’s also very possible that they just have other shit going on that’s taking priority. God knows I’m shit at keeping in touch with people when I’ve got “more important things” happening.
Try not to focus on the negative possibility. But in the meantime, also try and put yourself out there and meet some new people, just in case the negative possibility ends up being the truth. And even if it doesn’t, then hey, maybe you meet a new friend to add to the group!
You’re right. But of the people I know personally, I’ve been told on multiple accounts that I’m A: The most awkward person they’ve ever met, and B: The most antisocial person they’ve ever met. So meeting new people, as hard as it is for normal folks, it seems to be even harder for me. I honestly don’t see any opportunities.
Pretty sure that airport directly inspired THX. Try Flint’s instead.
THX 1138 shot some scenes at LAX.
Unfortunately, it definitely shows. Or maybe that’s not so unfortunate, given airports are dystopian fantasies anyway.
I don’t think that particular part of LAX had been overused in films at the time THX filmed there circa 1970. I get a chuckle out of the fact Airplane! used the same area though.
Only movie geeks like us even notice these things anyway. 😉

Didn’t they sort of do a music track only DVD of selected scenes from the OT and PT several years ago? Or was that more like music videos?
Screw digital only exclusives. Do the people that shun physical media really care about such extras?
So, it’s impossible for the creator of a petition to just take it down?
TM2YC beat me to it!
I remember Warriors of Virtue. Barely.
I have it on Laserdisc, and there’s a preservation project going on somewhere. Need to find out what’s going on with that.
I’d be interested in it.
Politics.
I’ll try to remember to make a thread around here when it’s done.
Maybe it was a flash photo? That’s a lot of work just to erase the pages on the off chance someone who reads music can actually make it out and then play it on their Casio keyboard.
If only I could post the really steamy stuff. . . .
Don’t even think about it! 😛
Those are well drawn though.

Now I have seen everything!

I think most companies that would be target of boycotts today are too big for a boycott to hurt or affect them in any way, like Disney.
Religious groups targeted Disney (or at least tried to) in the late 90’s. They were upset over gay days in the parks and domestic partner benefits for employees. I once saw a book on why and how to boycott the Mouse. Ironically, it was in the clearance bin.
Play nice, kids!
No one in the ST has stepped in a pile of shit or been part of a fart joke.
But that just makes the PT original.
That is what happens when you treat the PT fans like people.
PT fans are people too. Let’s remember that in the future.
And damn my eyesight for missing this the first time.
That’s actually true. I think the petition is bs, but what happened to respecting the minorities? If it was the PT people would be fine with it. In fact when it was the PT people here were more than fine with it.
Recently there was a comment in this very thread where someone said we shouldn’t treat PT fans like people. I found that to be very rude and possibly ban worthy. I used to be a PT fan myself when I was younger and several little kids I know are PT fans.
So while we’re at it, how about we stop treating people who like the ST like people? Or stop treating people that like MARVEL movies like people? Or how about stop treating someone with a certain sexuality like people because they are attracted to X instead of the majority’s Y?
I hope I don’t get banned for this, but come on.
Could you point me at that post please?
As it requires no great sacrifice or personal inconvenience on their part, it kind of cheapens the concept of a boycott. Let’s see them deny their kids a trip to the parks or buying other Disney product.
Sorry but I don’t understand what personal sacrifice or inconvenience has to do with a boycott? The point is to get a message across by voting with your wallet, if anything the boycotters are better off from saving money and not having to sit through more movies they are fairly certain they are not going to enjoy anyway.
Why else would we boycott the movies other than we really do not care to watch any more Disney SW movies due to our experience with TLJ and the direction we can now see that the movies are heading in? At that you could almost say that it’s not a boycott and that Disney have simply lost part of their fan base which if they aren’t fans anymore of the new movies, they’re not going to see the movies or buy the home releases anyway. What makes it a boycott is that these people love their SW and still hope to see change to a certain extent in how these movies are being made as a result of hitting Disney where it actually hurts them. If this changes actually happens then they’ll get back the patronage of the boycotters.
Regarding kids, I certainly reserve the right to decide what my kids will watch and what I buy for them. Once they are old enough I’ll have no problem if they want to watch the ST and spend their own money on merchandise and we can have interesting conversations on the matter, that’s if they even like SW for that matter 😉 I’ll be bringing them up on a healthy dose of OT for sure but you never know if they’ll keep liking it as adults.
Edit: forgot to reply on your comment about kids
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_bus_boycott
Boyctts used to be about important social issues, not because someone doesn’t like a movie a company puts out. Nobody threatened to boycott Paramount when they put out a Trek movie the fans were upset with.
The kids comment was in the context of someone stopping their kids from enjoying other Disney product when they had no problem with it before.
