Saw a huge flash in the sky around 10:50 pacific time this evening. Scared the crap out of me and no idea what it could have been.

Hehe, I have a can of Duff in my fridge. Not real of course, but it amuses me.

and i have a bottle of duff on my shelf above my computer. it was real, i drank it. (a friend brought it back from Chile for me, they don’t worry about US trademarks overseas)

The Force Awakens and Rogue One are superior to the prequels in every way.

Not in terms of their soundtracks.

That’s very much up for debate.

I can’t remember any [music] from the recent films, but I absolutely remember at least one song from each prequel film.

You don’t remember those?

I could actually not remember either of those. And it is probably not music’s fault but rather unmemorable nature of TFA.

who are you again?

Sorry, I do not introduce myself to peasants.

who keeps talking? or was that the wind…

Not sure exactly how…

Although I’d love to figure out a way to have Palps say it and lay it over an instrumental version of the song.

Palpy has enough dialog across five movies you can probably build it. He says oh in Jedi, so all you need is a K sound. And have a musical sting from Smooth Criminal when he says it.

He could say it to Vader on the operating table.

great idea

The "Name that Movie/TV Show I Can't Name" Thread

This was an animated film I had seen on TV when I was young. It was about a boy who lived alone on a planet (like the King Kai planet depicted in DBZ) that only had a house with two walls, a floor, and no roof with just a bed and stove. I vividly remember scenes of him making tea and him running then falling over hurting his knee.

He then leaves the planet by capturing a shooting star with a net, riding it through space (while a voiceover narration plays) until he arrives on a desert land and meets a moustached man who is a pilot whose plane has broken down in the desert. Another scene I recall is a sandstorm happens there and the pilot covers him and the boy with a blanket.

Sounds like a version of The Little Prince

I find it highly suspicious that our resident trolls have come back at the exact same time, btw.

Am I in that group? I’ll challenge you to a dual.

Difference is you’re trolling for laughs, and it worked.

Yes that is the difference… because when you do it, it does not work.

Most statues are not nuanced. The other reasons for the war don’t really come into play in a non-nuanced world, it’s the main one that rings loudest: slavery, and we can’t glorify that.

Maybe the world needs to be more nuanced. Maybe the other reasons for the war need to be better understood.

There is nuance in nuance. Obviously nuance is important, but as a said a statue is not a nuanced object. It is a symbol, and for many people when they see it they don’t see a million things, they see only one.

Maybe better education on the Civil War and its other causes could help here.

Of course it’s important to understand all the reasons as an educated citizen, but the truth is most of those reasons have little to do with the effects the war still has today

None the less, those reasons need to be considered in the the decision to remove the statues.

(beyond being a common, phony excuse and dog whistle).

?

Build a memorial if you want. But the statues as they exist are misguided.

Which statues? What about the ones for the pows I mentioned and the battlefield markers?

Again, nuance. If a statue depicts a glorification, it should go. If it symbolizes something else, maybe not.

unfortunately, some of the statues at Gettysburg do probably depict glorification. Still if you try to remove them, you will probably get a fight from battle field historians.

i was just recently at gettysburg,

http://wesa.fm/post/confederate-monuments-arent-going-anywhere-says-gettysburg-park#stream/0

there certainly doesn’t need to be an erasing of history. but i have heard the sentiment going around, that i agree with. it goes something like this. “places of prominence should be given to good role models” so to me, anything along the lines of naming a public school, what goes up in the town square, basically anything that says ‘hey world, these are people we like, and you could do worse than to emulate them’, those are places that confederate statues probably don’t belong.

So far this thread can be summed up as follows:

A bunch of yaks and shills being castigated for eating the same dog food, film after film.
Their reply?
“But it’s good dog food!”

Oh well. Disney, please announce another rehash before the end of this year. How about a Bib Fortuna movie. Throw these dogs a frickin’ bone.

Why do you even read these threads? Surely you have better things to do with your life.

i laughed (at both posts actually)
