“Today I am announcing that in the coming weeks, I will be resigning as a member of the United States Senate,” Franken said during an emotional speech from the Senate floor.

"I of all people am aware that there is some irony that I am leaving, while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office and a man who has preyed on underage girls is running for the Senate with the full support of his party,” Franken said, referring to President Donald Trump, who has also been accused of sexual misconduct, and Roy Moore, the Republican candidate for Senate in Alabama.

“But this decision is not about me, it’s about the people of Minnesota,” Franken said.

He is right about the irony, but it is also right that he resign.

TV’s Frink said:

Yeah, apparently I’m in the minority, because most people seemed to not like it. Shrug.

yeah, it wasn’t good Frink. it wasn’t good.

and a continuation of Firefly.

…eeehhh, it’s been too long I think. I might be okay with a second movie, but they missed the boat on continuing it as a series years ago.

i would agree, i doubt i would like any continuation they tried to create at this point.

Psycho just messaged my girlfriend and said he plans to kill her and then himself. She already has an order of protection against him. If the cops don’t do anything about it this time then I guess I’ll just end up in jail myself because this isn’t gonna fly.

That is just terrible. Has she considered moving farther away from this guy?

Does it matter?

Not in the grand scheme of things I suppose. But it just doesn’t make sense.

“The Silence Breakers”(plural) are not a person(singular).

ok then

• the gall of writing the line “A good question. For another time” for Maz Kanata

This line makes more sense in the context of TFA: Restructured.

Does it? I haven’t watched that yet.

You seriously don’t understand countdowns, do you?

I’m not upset, I just thought it was funny. Though, in retrospect I’d have been better off saying nothing.

i didn’t think you were upset, i just think there is a lack of ‘water under the bridge’ around these parts. no worries Handman.

The Force Awakens

had a few friends over for an early birthday celebration over the weekend, and used that as an excuse to watch this. And of course i needed to rewatch it before The Last Jedi next week.

Still a top notch film, but so much will hinge on what The Last Jedi does with these characters. since it is all one story, either it will all work together, or it won’t to some degree. Assuming that The Last Jedi is as great as well all hope it will be, i think that The Force Awakens will remain a great film for years to come.

8/10

Watching this with a group, it is clear that Fin and BB-8 are real crowd pleasers.

I think the weakest things for me in this movie are

• Poe: I think you can tell that he wasn’t originally meant to be a big character, he just isn’t needed in my opinion, and i don’t really buy the fast friendship that developed between him and Fin. but whatever.
• General Organa saying “snoke”
• the gall of writing the line “A good question. For another time” for Maz Kanata

ALLOL :p

I’m a pretty fair-minded guy. I have a balanced view on things. I get along well with people. I am compassionate towards others. I’m pretty good at admitting when I’m wrong.

This type of build up never goes anywhere good

So, hopefully, the weight of the following comment means something:

This place now sucks.

yep. maybe just sleep on it ender, and feel better in the morning? Maybe all this place needs is a proper amount of darth_ender posting in it.

I’d legitimately like to understand what “busy being poor” means and how that precludes someone from learning other languages.

Go and ask a 19-year-old who has worked for food for over 10 years by scavenging junk and other crap in a town of less than 1000 people here on Earth and get ready to be surprised that they don’t know how to turn even a computer on let alone read or write or speak perfect grammar of their own language.

• not a town
• not on earth
• ?

No, I think it was just me.

best answer by far

The site was up for those in the inner sanctum, it was down for bad people.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi | Training Featurette

Man that looks exciting.

DOES NOT!

Perhaps it would be an idea to give your views on the training featurette - or why you found it not to be exciting etc? Instead of just a ‘DOES NOT!’…

Don’t hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning.

😃

Indeed, why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Please do not respond with the ‘Crap!’ line from the film.
 

Seriously, I suggest you expand on some of your posts on subjects like this, instead of just posting ‘DOES NOT!’

I’d rather spam screenshots from the Blu-ray disc of Kelly’s Heroes with subtitles ON (gotta find it) compared to more Star Wars jingly mingly fingly wot. In a separate thread.

Carry on with your irregularly scheduled program.

Cool.
