George is nothing more than an overgrown child who wants to spread misery to other people.

I really have nothing to add to this conversation as to my own opinion other than George can do what he damn well pleases with his film.  I just wish it wasn't up to people like Harmy to give me the original nominee for best picture--and winner of best editing, costuming, effects, art direction, and score--in 1977.

There's a reason 9Gag is fairly unpopular compared to imgur or even 4chan.  

As someone who's closest friends identify as on the spectrum, and having a debatable place myself,  I do take some offense to Ender's self-righteous claim that Warb belongs there.  Or, rather, the way he presented it with no tact whatsoever.  Web diagnoses on these sorts of things are pathetic at best - as I would think a nurse would know.  Ender, you're using it as a way to discredit him in argumentative situations on the forum.  Seriously, listing the signs here?  As if to remind everyone else he's below you?

That's the sort of thing that, if you were genuinely curious, should have been addressed in private via PM or something.  

I understand you were trying to be polite, but all you've managed to do is cherry coat a condescending appraisal of Warbler.  I've a right to point out that this comes off as rude.

It's very annoying to me when I'm invited to watch a movie at a friends house on their new humongous super HD ultra plasma-whatever TV only to realize that all the money they spent on the TV and BD player is for nothing because the motion enhancements are turned on making the film look like a speed up soap opera. Even more annoying when I'm the only one in the room who even notices this and everyone else insists that it's better this way. Ugh...

 It's even worse when people don't know the difference, IMO.  I can at least see the appeal of high-refresh rates, and even appreciate them in video games/certain animation.

Hey Andrea,

  I know you're busy with a lot of other projects but I was curious as to what kind of process you've made on this one in the past month and a half.  Do you have any updates to show us?

I don't get it.  You both go from egging each other on to getting offended over that same kind of back-and-forth.  It's clear you both have extreme distaste for each other, why not leave it at that?

I've heard the "he started it" / "it's one sided" stuff enough already.  

PS-  Fo, I like your new user title ;).  

I understand they indefinitely have no plans.  Frog did well, but not well enough.

Was that needed Frink?

Anyone who thinks Geordi gets tortured an unfair amount doesn't know about O'Brien Must Suffer.  Good thing Colm Meaney really excelled at the role.

Frink, I kept creating FremenDar variants because I forgot if the password was forum generated or my own one.

Seriously, I will never understand this excuse.  Don't make socks, just send a damn note via the contact form.

 playing Devil's Advocate here: I believe Warb e-mailed Jay and did not get a response until warbler-temp.  There's validity in a second account if you feel you were wrongfully banned and have some form of proof/excuse that won't be shot down immediately.

Hey, random thoughts.  Plus, it's old news -- why beat a dead horse on the day filming is finally announced? 

I'm still mad that from what I understand the Episode VII script has been tweaked as to focus more on the original cast than intended.  Part of me wonders why I care at all, but ... still.  I want new faces.

Isn't it just a matter of downloading a .cbr reader?  I don't know your OS, but I remember liking Jomic and Simple Comic for Mac.

Sticking to my guns on this one.  Sure, I agree with you vbangle.  I'm grateful to the team for their work, even if I don't always care about the movies they choose.  There's serious dedication from everyone on the Team, and I get that.  I do feel privileged that we usually get to see the final products.

It's less the action itself and more the motives I question.  I get the feeling this is a unwarranted temper tantrum -- but I'm not active over at MySpleen.  By all means, point me in the right direction if that's the case.  This stinks almost as bad as the Superman KCOP cut thread.

Sounds like ChristophMer, despite the sock method, may have had a legitimate grievance with Team Blu.  Didn't know that actually happened.

I personally hate power plays like this.  Whoever actually removed all their work from MS should be ashamed of themselves.

Hollywood itself needs a remake; it's dated and no longer relevant.

 ...which is why people are turning to TV for quality storytelling.  

I was about to pull a Warb and *sigh* about the predictable CG comment, but then I took a look again for myself.  Man, if any bit character in the prequels didn't age well in the graphics department, it's Dex.

I like Ellen -- she seems admirably personable, even if I'm not crazy about her jokes -- but I'm not sure she's the right fit for the Oscars.  There's a reason she's a day-time talk host.

Yeah, this sounds more like it's related to Reagan's "Star Wars" initiative as 005 said.  Would love to be proven wrong, though. Can you provide pictures of the casing?

DuracellEnergizer, from what I know of your tastes/viewing habits you may wish to do some research first and find a high point to begin with on Clone Wars and then go back if you feel necessary.  A slew of bad episodes at the start may be enough to turn you off from the show entirely; I can be the same way.  Just so you actually know you have something to look forward to.

I may be projecting on this, though -- I've been meaning to look at the series myself, and the jump to Netflix seems the perfect excuse.

 I have to know what this gif is from.

I can confirm that if Frink had any socks left, at least one of us in the off-topic circlejerk would know and likely throw him under the bus when it's gone this far.  Also, the mods have gotten all of the socks; give SilverWook and the rest of the team some credit, here.

This is ridiculous and shame on both of you.

1977: intimidating

2004: I think given that this sound isn't recycled it's actually more interesting than the 77 equivalent.

Adywan: It's been awhile, but I think he made some sort of hybrid noise; however, it's also possible he just put the 77 one back in.  Unless I'm just making this up,  my preferred version.

2011: I think I could make better in Audacity following a tutorial.

well this is all I got on that subject

"Details about his character are unknown except that Driver's would be similar to Star Wars' biggest villain, Darth Vader."

Much as I grow tired of certain members' tirades on this subject, I must admit reading this actually does make me worry as to the plot of these sequels.  Hey, at least we know he's not Vader.
