If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

People abuse because they were abused, and that's the only way they can regulate their emotions. Not that it means the guy is not at fault, but just to give insight into why this happens (I feel as though people like him deserve sympathy until they begin perpetuating their abuse on others, at that point, sympathy disappears and the situation must be dealt with).

Those kids are going to need years of therapy, or it's depressingly likely that the boy is gonna grow up just like daddy and beat his wife, and the girl is gonna grow up just like mommy and get knocked-up by the same kinda guy as daddy. It will perpetuate itself endlessly, as it always has with the kid's dad, and his father before him, and so on.

It sucks. It sucks a lot, but the mental health situation in this country is so much worse than the physical health situation. The stigma around getting help for your various psychological ailments is utterly deplorable, and it keeps people from getting the help they need, and it either exacerbates the problem, or it perpetuates it on future generations. It's like having a broken arm and being too ashamed to get it set by a doctor; you're only making it worse.

My brother is so ashamed that people will find out about his OCD that he is relapsing and as a result, everyone knows about it. If there wasn't so much stigma, maybe he could be more open about it (even to his shrink) and maybe he could improve his situation; it's not like anyone we know would judge him about it anyway. It's just sad that we shame people with legitimate, in some cases, life-threatening illnesses to the point where they want to pretend they don't exist, which only makes it worse.

I'm sorry for these kids. I dunno what you can do about it; perhaps suggest some counselling for them and maybe the mother. I would call the father a write-off at this point.

Sorry bro. Most of his lines are delivered very well, but it distracts me every single time I hear him say things like "therearen'tanybasesaroundherewhere'ditcomefrom" because there's just no rhythm to it.

It looks like an Imperial Cruiser, our passengers must be hotter than we thought; try and hold them off, angle the deflector shield while I make the calculations for the jump to light speed.

What a mess. All of his lines in the Falcon seemed like he was just trying to say them as fast as possible, while the lines themselves seemed written for a slower delivery.



 




Exactly what I mean! He just blurts them out and you have to stop for a second to analyze what he said because there's no emphasis or... effort, really... put into certain lines. I feel like the "oh, he was under extreme duress" line to be a pretty lame excuse; it's a movie, not real life, and I know I've put more effort into what I'm saying in a tense situation than he did there; regardless, the actor could try it again, the director could choose to do another take, or the editor could use a better take. 


It's weird, because he delivers fast lines on the Falcon well half the time, and he does fine in the other films, but just certain ones he flubs (in my opinion) and it just throws me off.

Well the news just seems to be getting better about the new Star Wars films, especially knowing that this person will have nothing to do with them or anything Star Wars related ....

He was a moron and I shant miss him.


But what if he becomes more powerful than we could possibly imagine?

I never considered Empire superior to Star Wars.  I did like it when it was first released and even had a laserdisc of it a few years after that.  After a while, the things that I had never liked about it (Vader as father, Yoda, 3PO silliness) ended up becoming the things that caused me to lose interest.  To me, it felt small and stylized compared to Star Wars.  It was too slick, too formula.  I very much prefer the vast unknown, far away adventure of Star Wars.




I agree with you.  Also, the script and acting are noticeably better in SW (esp. Guinness and Cushing).  ESB has lots of cool stuff in it for saga fans, but as a movie, SW can stand up against any film ever made.




I dunno about that. There is a lot of weird delivery for me (Especially on Harrison's part) in Star Wars.




 


Any examples?


 


 




A lot of his lines on the Falcon on the way to the Death Star are just all run together with zero inflection and it makes it hard to follow. Makes me cringe every time.




Get out.
