In honor of President Barack Obama’s very very last day, and hours as President, please share your memory of his greatest speech. You know the one, that one on par with “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!,” “Four score and seven year ago,” “Ask not what your country can do for you…,” “a date which will live in infamy,” and “I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”

You all know that speech President Obama gave that made us all shiver in patriotism, share your memories of it. You know where you were at when you heard it, just share.

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” (1987)

“Four score and seven year ago” (1863)

“Ask not what your country can do for you…” (1961)

“a date which will live in infamy” (1941)

“I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” (2001)

4 of these were during war time (cold and otherwise), one of them from the inauguration of perhaps the most charismatic president ever, the most recent one was 16 years ago and I personally had never heard before. Since Obama didn’t start any wars, he really didn’t need to give “RA RA PATRIOTISM” speeches to justify his actions.

I hope you enjoy the military marching past the White House to show off our power, probably waving “TRUMP” banners.

Machete Order? mmm
Time

I like the idea of the prequels-as-flashback (and actually wrote about it on my site before “Machete Order” was a thing), but I’ve never tried it personally. For a new viewer, I would always go release order, with the prequels as a last resort, so my list would be:

SW, ESB, RotJ, TFA, R1, TPM, AotC, RotS

But probably end up being:

SW, ESB, RotJ, TFA, R1, SW

Does anyone have a screenshot of the shot of Lucas’ pad of paper that just says “STAR WARS EPISODE 1” from one of the documentaries? I need it for comedy.

Looks like its in here, but I can’t get it to load at work.

EDIT: I guess it’s not in there.

EDIT2: It was from the end of The Beginning, I was able to make my joke:

I’m looking forward to that eventual ‘saga’ trailer too! I’d forgotten about that.

That’s likely to be after ESB:R comes out now.

sorry if I missed it but what exactly is the “saga trailer”?
thank you

It’s a trailer featuring potential shots from all 6 Revisited edits.

I was asked to talk about my Top 10 Movies of 2016 on my friend’s podcast, so I had to watch some more movies from 2016 before I recorded so I wouldn’t have to have X-Men: Apocalypse or Deadpool in my list.

If you haven’t already recorded, I’d recommend the following:

We recorded Monday, but Hell or High Water was on my friend’s list!

So, is there still going to be a list of names added to the end credits? If I’m not mistaken, I tried and successfully made the list, but I can never be too sure.

We’ve got your real name on the list, but it was finalized some years ago, so I’m not sure exactly how it’s going to be handled in the end.

Argh! Makes me so mad to check his FB page and see idiots commenting that Ady is somehow scamming people for a new laptop. Effin’ dumpster-heads!

(That’s why I don’t have comments on the site)

Green Room

Super-intense, like a season of Breaking Bad condensed into 90 minutes except that you actually want the main character to win.

Sing Street

A story of a boy who makes a band to impress a girl, with great original music and 80’s classics.

Good episode. Enjoyed seeing Zeb on his own, and really liked the design of the infiltrator droid–evoked the look of McQuarie concepts for seethreepio

Dave Filoni says had he looked at the schedule and remembered this would have been after R1 came out, he would have made it a K2!

To be clear, we WILL be getting a Saga Trailer, as he promised a while ago. But it’s obviously not the priority. Cutting a trailer is a lot of work, more than editing the movie, I’d think. We already had at least one “final” ESBR trailer, I wouldn’t expect another!
