Last time I saw Pablo comment, he said this:

As far as I know, there’s only one person who could make this happen and he hasn’t seemed all that interested.

He’s apparently shifting this onto Lucas. Which doesn’t make sense if Fox and Disney are meeting with Verta on his restoration. But if they had one of their own, they wouldn’t be meeting with Verta saying “we have one, thanks.” I guess we’ll find out at Celebration.

I’ll hang myself first thing in the morning.

You ok, buddy?

I got lost and confused by the last few. Could someone break them down for me?

Catching up, I’m glad that The Living Daylights being my second pre-Craig Bond rewatch comes recommended, even if I watched it before these posts were made. It (and Dalton) stuck out to me in my random Bond watch, so I was really looking forward to watching it again.

He was handed the wrong card. So he showed it to Faye out of confusion, and she read it out loud.

Imagine if he was handed the Best Makeup card again…

Added head explosions?

Your skills are now complete.

You mentioned rolling back the Revisited Death Star Plans because of Rogue One. Just wondered if you plan on going back to the pink X-Wing engine glow too.

Yes, the engines are now pink.

Progress on the Wampa;

Started layering the fur onto the mask. A very time consuming task as this has to be done in small sections at a time. I’ll be gluing the fur onto the mask as much as possible and then hair punching the rest to blend in the edges to give a more natural look.

What made you decide to go back to the pink engines?

Rogue One having pink engines, without any excuse of film age or bad color balance. It’s purposeful and undeniable now.

Yeah, I brought that up yesterday. He heard the word “victory” and went off on that first, before All Lives Matter-ing the Jewish people.

Why is he so proud about getting less Electoral Votes than Obama or Clinton either time they were elected?

Hey look, he brought up his Electoral Vote number! It must be a day ending in Y!

Let me see if I can break this down:

New York art dealer Jeffrey Loria who bought the Florida Marlins for $158.5 million 14 years ago wants to sell them to Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared (son-in-law/advisor to the President), for $1.6 billion.

NYP says that Loria may be named as Ambassador to France. Now Kushner’s business partner is backing out saying that he doesn’t want “this unrelated transaction to complicate that process”.

I guess I’m glad that they’re at least pretending that one isn’t related to the other? It’s not like paying 1.6 billion dollars for an under-performing baseball team is a steal. It would look more like the Kushners were bribing Loria to take the job.

And what does it take to become an ambassador? Because he literally was an art dealer who buys now buys baseball teams.

Yes, I believe so too… but again, any ideas on how Windu’s and Palpatine’s confrontation might play out?

Nope.

I’m curious what one of the few sane pro-gun people I know (Tyr) thinks about this.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/02/15/republicans-in-congress-just-made-it-easier-for-mentally-ill-people-to-get-guns/?utm_term=.7ba74facde16

I’ve been (stupidly) assuming that this was part of some larger bill that was actually sensical, but no, the gun lobbies are just worried about old mentally ill people who can legally not handle their own finances being able to buy guns.

“Did your men deactivate the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon?”

“Yessir, we had them unplug an easily accessible wire. They will think its something a lot more complicated, it should take them days to figure it out!”

“Couldn’t you just have removed it completely?”

Mocata said:

It’s … tinny? For lack of a better word. The brass isn’t deep enough and the lighter percussion is too loud. The SW logo is too big as well grumble grumble. It all just looks bold or a similar but wider typeface. Maybe I am just insane though.

Edit: or maybe not … https://medium.com/@FixTheCrawl/the-force-awakens-misses-the-mark-on-the-oldest-star-wars-tradition-ccb37f727872#.t5e8vhqrt

That’s just someone complaining about them changing the font back to ANH/ESB.

On a side note I always loved that R2 fixed the hyperdrive given Han’s disposition towards droids

R2 doesn’t even fix it, he basically plugs it in!

Ignore this is Cosmo for some reason:

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a8878322/trum-racism-question-electoral-college/

Reporter: Since your election campaign, and even after your victory, we’ve seen a sharp rise in anti-semitic incidents across the United States. And I wonder what do you say to those among the Jewish community in the States and in Israel, and maybe around the world, who believe and feel that your administration is playing with xenophobia and maybe racist tones?

Trump: I just want to say that we are very honored by the victory that we had. 306 electoral college votes. We were not supposed to crack 220. [to Netanyahu] You know that, right? There was no way to 221. But then they said there’s no way to 270. And there’s tremendous enthusiasm out there. I will say that we are going to have peace in this country.

He then goes on to babble about how all violence is bad and he knows Jewish people.

Does anyone have any idea on how Adywan and his team will treat the “a lightsaber… a Jedi weapon” dialogue phrase for the Prequels? Is there any way Palpatine will not use a lightsaber but only the Force in his duel against Mace Windu?

I believe neither Yoda nor Palpatine will have lightsabers. Especially not fight one another.

I guess we watch enough shows at night that we could probably get a couple movies in a day… I’m starting to think like my wife, shows are easy because they’re cut into pieces you can stop watching between, but movies are a commitment of a couple hours!

From my understanding, it’s just a bigger Blu-ray disc with a different compression format.

Don’t miss that Russia operates by leaking anti-Russian information to the media, somehow. So now Russia is bad?

So, let’s break this down:

1. Endorsing a source of news.
2. Bringing up the election that he lost.
3. Mention that the newspapers he subscribes to are failing.
4. Reference a single source that agrees with him.
5. Criticizing Obama.
6. Unnecessary quotes.

Just another morning in the White House!

The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. @MSNBC & @CNN are unwatchable. @foxandfriends is great!

This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign.

Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia

Thank you to Eli Lake of The Bloomberg View - “The NSA & FBI…should not interfere in our politics…and is” Very serious situation for USA

Crimea was TAKEN by Russia during the Obama Administration. Was Obama too soft on Russia?

The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by “intelligence” like candy. Very un-American!

I used to be able to watch five-to-seven feature-length films every day, one right after the other. I don’t know how I ever managed to accomplish that; these days, I get tired watching two movies in a row.

Ah, to be young again.

I can’t even think of 5-7 movies I’d want to watch in a day.
