Is that Zelda?

I’m really jazzed for Luke Cage. I think it might quickly become my favorite Netflix Marvel show.

The controversial Shore Trooper.

I like him. I think he’s got a sort of recon or heavy scout look to him. Like a UDT or Navy SEAL for Star Wars.

I gotta say again, it’s always so nice to see physical costumes. I just remember how excited George was when they were doing the clones in all CGI and just how much better it’s been to have real props for the majority of these new movies.

Found a guy on the International OCD Foundation’s website, called him after work today, and discovered that my insurance does in fact cover him, and the co-pay is inexpensive. I may hate my job, but the insurance can be pretty good. Unfortunately, he’s only a psychologist, so he’ll be unable to prescribe. I wasn’t hugely enamored of him on the phone, but hey, it’s a phone call. I did find one negative review of him on Google (Since when does Yelp let you review therapists?), so I’m hoping it doesn’t color my perception. It’s just a consultation. Now it’s a fair drive, but hopefully he can at least offer some advice. I have had patches where I seem to be feeling better, I think this is something biochemical. I hope maybe he can coordinate with the NP who prescribes for me if he’s good. I don’t know. It’s something. Maybe not something good, I don’t know, but I’ve tried something, anyway.

let us hope so, but he has a long way to go.

I hope he continues to make progress. I sincerely do, man.

It sounds like a good start, either way. Keep going with it!

Time to quit the internet.

That’s a good sign. Hopefully it’s all up from here!

It’s not the holiday season until I’ve watched Harrison Ford awkwardly hug Chewbacca’s wife.

I think you’re forgetting the actual affair involving Whatevertheheckitisbaca:

It’s literally impossible to forget Art Carney selling space porn to Itchy.

(Two C’s in “bacca,” by the way!)

It’s not the holiday season until I’ve watched Harrison Ford awkwardly hug Chewbacca’s wife.

If you want a serious (and seriously blue) laugh, just look up Chuck Tingler’s bibliography. Some of the titles he comes up with are crazy.

It’s okay that they were bad. Bad movies happen. Just because they’re part of Star Wars doesn’t mean you have to make up reasons to like them.

Yeah we really live in a terrible world pal. People who dare to like things you don’t.

I’m not worried about people liking things I don’t. I like a lot of things other people don’t like. I also love bad movies thanks to being a weirdo and when I found MST3K, I realized I wasn’t alone.

My issue is that the reason people like the PT isn’t because they’re good movies. This is proven by the need for them to create all these elaborate theories about how the PT is good. They have to justify it to everyone else, including themselves, because I know a lot of these people realize the PT films are not good.

The issue isn’t that they like them, it’s that they feel like they have to like them because they’re Star Wars fans or Lucas fans or whatever. It’s really okay to acknowledge that they’re bad films. I enjoy watching dreck like Plan Nine From Outer Space not because it’s a good movie, not because I have some elaborate theory complete with logical leaps and grasping at straws that makes it “secretly good,” but because it’s a bad movie and I’ve accepted that. It’s the denial that annoys me with the PT.

A world where you and Tyr are pals does indeed sound terrible.

I’ll never join him!

Except for that last one it just looks like his side cape dealie is pulled around to the front.

Why can’t R2-D2 make some new beeps? He just says the same shit over and over…

I think he has simpler vocal programming compared to other droids like Threepio or K2-SO. I would think that R2 has a set list of responses, and if he has to say something that isn’t in the list, he pieces a new sentence together using sections of his other responses.

That’s a neat theory. I think they do a good job of embodying it in the Old Republic MMO wherein the astromech droids all speak with very simple phrases and math.

Hey, my parents were too and ya know what that got em? Three children who still keep in touch with them and each other. Is that what you want?
Think about it, man.

Ugh, it sounds like a nightmare.

Breakups can leave just as much if not more of an negative impact as a bereavement.

When you enter a relationship you merge the threads of your individual lives into a single cloth. If that has to come to an end it’s better, where possible to carefully unpick the stitches.

All the cliches about being torn up, ripped to bits, falling to pieces, they don’t come from nowhere. It’s all real human stuff.

Indeed.

Who are you people?

Damn Dom, I’m sorry.

Breakups are hard. Went through a massive one myself last year.

All I can say is keep moving forward because it will get better.

Just keep trying. There will be highs and lows, but they can be managed with work. You’re doing a lot better than many in your situation.

I’ve been learning about all the different Nazi flags used during their time in power just out of vexillogical curiosity the past few days, but I keep getting distracted and the result is that I have had several tabs of Nazi flags open on my browser over the past week or so.

David Byrne as interviewed by David Byrne in 1984

I decided not to get out of bed until 11. Pretty nice.

It’s not so much that I’m bothered by the existence of the PT, it’s more that I’m annoyed by people like in this documentary who for some reason have to justify that the movies were good.

It’s okay that they were bad. Bad movies happen. Just because they’re part of Star Wars doesn’t mean you have to make up reasons to like them.

there’s a few parts/mistakes I’d like to see again. Like that one painting of a hallway in IV that was painted the wrong way so it looked like the wall and hallway bent when filmed at the wrong angle

Have I missed something. Where’s that ?

I assume he means the detention block hallway.

I’ve been noticing this myself lately. It seems like there’s a big rise in prequel-apologizing lately. Lots of people saying “ehh, they’re not that bad” or some kind of nostalgia kick. I’m watching a lot of The Star Wars Show (and after show) on YouTube, and it’s full of this weird thing where they keep slipping in PT love.

I’m not digging it.
