Episode VII: The Force Awakens - Discussion * <strong>SPOILER THREAD</strong> *

Cartoon Boba said:

Sorry about such a downer for a first post but who else on here believes all the spoilers make the movie sound like it's going to be a load of self-aware crap? 

 You might be right but at least the ''spoilers' may not be real and if they are you still have to wait until the real McCoy is released in order to truly see if it's sucks, as I mentioned before I think that the PT set a very low bar that should be easily surpassed .

Happy New Year everyone. Wow 2006 already. I sure hope it's better than last year... and the one before that, and before...

Wow 2015 already, back in 2006 there were no smartphones and LCD TVs were just starting to get mainstream.

FOR THE SINGLE (or widowed or divorced) OTers

Right now, it's college and money (or lack thereof) keeping us from getting married. Beyond that, I feel that I'm ready for marriage, as naive as that may sound, but I really do believe it. And I really do believe that she is the one. As far as it actually happening... I'm not sure when yet. Once the opportunity presents itself, I suppose.

Gaffer Tape said:

 We were still talking about getting married.  She landed an internship at Disney World.  She left for Florida the day before Obama was inaugurated.  Three weeks later, she stopped returning my calls.  A few days later she did... to break up with me. I later found out she'd met someone she worked with and married him two months later.  They have a kid now.  When the years passed, and we became halfway civil, she sent me a picture.  He looks cute.  The kid, that is, not the guy she left me for.

 What an interesting contrast, 9 years between both worlds... It makes me wonder about my situation which was similar (I'm 30, had a girlfriend for a while when I was 21, ready to get married, she left me for my ''best'' friend a month after Obama took office, depression for a long time, reborn, etc). I've been dating for 2+ years now and marriage/kids is waaaaay down the ''to do'' list, right after ''dropping dead'' hehe.

It's amazing how we do change a lot over the years, I'm not even remotely the same person I was 9 years ago in any aspect :p

The Philosophy Thread - Where Serious Questions &quot;May&quot; Be Discussed

Do chickens have personalities?  If so, should we be eating them?

Is not personality synonymous with flavor? 

 Not necessarily.  Everybody always wants the fattest cows, pigs, and chickens for their food, and being more fat would probably make them sluggish, therefor decreasing personality but increasing taste, so by this train of thought personality is inversely proportional to flavor.

                         VINCENT
                              (to Jules, who's
                              nursing his coffee)
                         Want a sausage?

                                     JULES
                         Naw, I don't eat pork.

                                     VINCENT
                         Are you Jewish?

                                     JULES
                         I ain't Jewish man, I just don't dig
                         on swine.

                                     VINCENT
                         Why not?

                                     JULES
                         They're filthy animals. I don't eat
                         filthy animals.

                                     VINCENT
                         Sausages taste good. Pork chops taste
                         good.

                                     JULES
                         A sewer rat may taste like pumpkin
                         pie.  I'll never know 'cause even if
                         it did, I wouldn't eat the filthy
                         motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in
                         shit. That's a filthy animal. I don't
                         wanna eat nothin' that ain't got
                         enough sense to disregard its own
                         feces.

                                     VINCENT
                         How about dogs? Dogs eat their own
                         feces.

                                     JULES
                         I don't eat dog either.

                                     VINCENT
                         Yes, but do you consider a dog to be
                         a filthy animal?

                                     JULES
                         I wouldn't go so far as to call a
                         dog filthy, but they're definitely
                         dirty. But a dog's got personality.
                         And personality goes a long way.

                                     VINCENT
                         So by that rationale, if a pig had a
                         better personality, he's cease to be
                         a filthy animal?

                                     JULES
                         We'd have to be talkin' 'bout one
                         motherfuckin' charmin' pig. It'd
                         have to be the Cary Grant of pigs.

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

Also it's a straight bluray rip and not the despecialized edition.....

 What do you mean? It's not the 2011 blu-ray. It has all the original theatrical special effects and no CGI that I can notice. It's a theatrical reconstruction of some kind. The only issue is that it's not Harmy's own v2.5 edition, it seems.

 I suggest you going here and check some of the details so you can tell if you have a Harmy's re-encode or a BR rip. I strongly suggest you to get the original 18GB+ for Ep IV and V and the 7GB+ for EP IV on my spleen or tehparadox, they are worth it.

George Lucas Interview Circa April 1977
Time

Nice post! You can definitely see here the stating points of the fall of GL with SW, I wonder if that exhausting process with Star Wars drained him too much that by ESB he just told Ivan to take control over directing the movie and on ROTJ did the same with Richard. He returned as the cruel-old-white-beard-GL-doppelganger for the PT. SW was the the best and worst thing for GL as film maker.
