Ok, I said I was going to give up, but I’ve decided to inform you of a few details you missed since you refused to watch the video.

1. the guy giving the orders on the video of the shooting is not the same guy that actually fired the shots. The guy giving the orders was the sergeant of the guy that fired the shots.

2. They had no idea if there was or was not a third person in the room that had not yet come out.

3. long rifle(the witness that called the cops thought they had a long rifle) rounds can penetrate and go through walls like those found in hotels.

fuck fuck fuck fuck. I inadvertently clicked on the spoiler thread when I meant to click on the non-spoiler thread and didn’t realize my mistake until I read a spoiler. fuck.

I also didn’t find the score to be particularly exciting.

What??

(link to TLJ score; minor spoiler? in track title.)

I remember exactly when this happened in the film and it got me fired up.

This is very exciting, yes, though probably a poor example specifically as it is a reprise of the “Tie Fighter Attack” from the original film (also heard in ROTJ), there are plenty of other great examples of exciting music in the film. In fact, while I rate the TFA soundtrack higher, I think TLJ is a lot more exciting.

This is too close for comfort to spoilers.

Chyron speaks the truth.

I dunno I’m actually trying to think of what it could possibly mean and I’m getting nothing but maybe some are more clever than me.

He’s edited it since I made that post.

I don’t know what you disagree with me on because you won’t tell me.

I did tell you, when we talked about it before. I was hoping another perspective would help, especially that of one with training and experience. But you refuse to listen to it. So I give up.

I give up.

My God.

1. I Don’t designate one day a year for giving, forgiving, and charity.

2. giving, forgiving and charity having nothing to do with Christmas???

3. I think Christmas lights if not overdone, look very nice.

4. That “boring religious element to it” makes it all the more special for some of us.

5. Christmas is about a lot more than buying cheap garbage, and it certainly isn’t about teaching kids to be greedy.

You seem to have your mind all made up and are unwilling to take an open minded look at things.

Please tell me that Williams did do the Soundtrack for TLJ.

ok.

I agree that the stores start it way too early. For me, nothing Christmasy allowed until after Thanksgiving.

If you were the one playing Santa you might feel different. I don’t really like Christmas myself and I normally don’t like or interact with kids but I have to admit I enjoyed myself. But then again I’m sure I just saw the best of everyone tho because whose going to be a dick right to Santa Clause face.

Playing Santa isn’t really my thing. It’s not even the kids that piss off about Christmas, it’s everything about it and everyone that just gets on my goddamn nerves.

“There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say,” returned the nephew. “Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round—apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that—as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!”

I agree with Nephew Fred.

I’ve never seen Santa at our Walmart. I wonder what’s his grudge.

Should be from 12-4 every Saturday this month.

Well, I went today and I didn’t see him.

Maybe you aren’t a Christian? I know I can’t see him anywhere.

I don’t think you need to be Christian to see Santa. Some Christians are even anti Santa, because they feel it takes away from the Christ child. Not me. I like both Santa and Christ.

Well I am glad you got to enjoy some Christmas cheer.

I hate Christmas. I hate every single thing it stands for. I hate Santa and I hope he hurries up dies of the massive heart attack that’s been centuries overdue. I just got back from the store trying to buy food and it was full of disgusting people running around buying shit they don’t need to give as gifts to people they don’t like and probably don’t want any of this shit anyway. I can’t wait for this horrific, sickening, chaotic, nauseating, hypocritical, pure evil holiday to be out of my life for another year.

Well if you aren’t going to watch the video and and you’re just going to assume what is in the video based on a comment he made, I don’t see a point in talking to you about this. Is seems like reasonable openminded discussion is not possible.

It was his comment that he made to “sum-up” the video because it was so long. It’s completely fair for me to take him at his word without dedicating an hour of my life to his little vlog.

But I will say one thing: making an arrest is not taking a hostage.

The way they did it, it was. And they were psychologically torturing him at gun point.

like I said, unfortunately there is no reasonable discussion to be had.

I’m just saying they’re not “just some movies”.

I think Dat_SW_Guy’s post should be edited. It comes too close to a spoiler for comfort.

With the distinct lack of the original versions on the free market in any decent quality, I can’t say I blame them.

Being that they’re just some movies, I can’t say I blame them.

dude, a generation is named after these films. This forum exists because of those movies, so do many others. They have a huge fan base. Then there is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_census_phenomenon . Maybe they are not just some movies.

Surprised no wise guys have said Gungans appear in the movie. They don’t.

THAT IS A SPOILER! Now I know Gungans don’t appear in the movie. Someone perm ban Silverwook.

A couple weeks ago, we had a debate about the Daniel Shaver case. At one point I posted a video about why cops can’t always use tazers. Well, now we have video of that same cop talking about the Shaver case. I thought some would be interested in seeing it.

I would give it a zero! This was the worst movie I’ve ever seen!

wow. That bad huh?

Nah, it’s not. But it is (and will continue to be) massively polarizing.

interesting.
