What was Episode I hype like?
Time

When I think of the hype, I actually think first of this review which was written just prior to theatrical release, but I didn’t discover until much later.

Summary:

Those of you waiting in line for Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace are, in my opinion, setting yourselves up for a grave disappointment. Either that, or you’re about to brainwash yourselves into the short-term, delusional embrace of a sub-par cinematic product – which is even worse.

JEDIT: I forgot how entertaining the comments are.

You have no right to criticize the genius of George Lucus. What he does is some thing of great beauty. You are a sad, sad person and I take pity on you. You have no life seeing that you can write such filth.

Thanks bunghole.

You’re awful, angry and bitter. See you in line on the 19th! 😃

I was sorry to read your review. You have obviously lost all sense of the innocence and childhood within you. I feel sorry for people like you. Most of us are still in touch with our inner child. You are obviously not, and I pity you. I pity you. For that, and also because you’re probably one of the most hated reviewers in the world now. People like you should have their ‘opinions’ taken away before they can tell others of them. God I hate critics. All you do is try to spoil others’ fun. Well good luck to you – I’m just sorry for you that you’ll never know a level of being and enjoyment that most of us do.

May the Force be without you.

I didn’t realize the rabid attack fanboys were out there that early.

20 ‘Vetted’ Refugees Who Turned to Terrorism After Being Allowed Into America

Interesting website, no info on who really runs it or owns it. A brief perusal of their anti vaccination article makes me think twice about the rest of their content.

After they fled the country?

From what I’ve read, they came here, then quietly slipped out of the country after pledging their allegiance to a terrorist organization. I know one joined the Army, got his training, then slipped out through Mexico and a few other places taking the long route back to whatever organization he pledged his life to.

I’d be more worried about those clean cut American kids who decided to join up. (If any of them are still alive?) They’re going to be a lot harder to spot if they try to come back.

I haven’t smoked a cigarette since December of 2015 and alas I think my streak is at an end. I’ve been craving a cigarette for 2 solid months and after today I’m probably gonna give in.

There is a slight risk of popcorn lung…

Excuse me? What the fuck is popcorn lung?

Ever take a big sniff of a bag of microwave popcorn after it’s cooked? Well, depending on the flavoring ingredients, that could poison you, giving you “popcorn lung.” So you could be affected in a similar way after vaping.

Well I’m glad I only eat popcorn at the movies…Jesus Christ. Considering how hard some people pull on their Vapes you’d have to be stretching the limits of the lungs to be affected in such a way.

Air popper is the only way to go at home.

If you need to B*tch about something <strong>other than originaltrilogy.com</strong>... This is the place

I was pissed the theatrical showing of Power Of The Daleks last November was scuttled by technical issues. (And there was never an encore.) Didn’t realize that there were so many Whovians in my neck of the woods either.

Not sure whether to pick up the Blu Ray version or buy a UK DVD from my usual Ebay source. Having a region free player has spared me the insane prices older Who discs command these days in the states.

(Side note: Some of the NYT articles no longer have unique identifiers in the links and the article is simply updated throughout the day, which is kind of annoying.)

Amid executive branch chaos, Trump calls Democrats ‘a mess’

The acting attorney general has been fired, protests are rocking the nation’s largest airports, and a constitutional clash is brewing between the executive and judicial branches, but Mr. Trump thinks the Democrats are a real mess because their audio equipment malfunctions, as do their tear ducts.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer held a rally at the steps of The Supreme Court and mic did not work (a mess)-just like Dem party!

I’ll give Trump credit, “Crooked Hillary” was a perfect nickname. “Fake Tears Chuck Schumer” is dumb.

He’s basically Scut Farkus at this point. A big bully mocking everything he can.
And wasn’t he supposed to give up his personal twitter by now? It can’t be that secure.

You’re a good dude, _ender. I wish your Conservative brethren were willing to put country over party as well.

Thanks. I gotta say, it’s like the conservatives here and all those who support Trump fail to realize that there will be another presidential election in four years. If a Democrat gets elected (and thanks to Trump, I’d bet money that one will), he/she will now have a precedent of a powerful executive branch. All of Trump’s policies, whether good or bad, can be rolled back with the stroke of a pen. Even more liberal policies will go into effect, and this time, with no Congressional approval. Even if the Republicans do control the legislature, a Democrat president would have incredible and dangerous power. And all the conservatives who supported Trump’s moves would be up in arms over such outrageous overstepping of power. Only, they will have been the enablers of such behavior, and we’ll be stuck with future presidents with

Who would have thought Bannon would be Anakin in this scenario?
