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.

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!

Here’s all the updates so far in the last couple days:

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!

If everything works out you’ll have a two hour trailer.

I can’t understand it.

I just purchased the collector’s edition of Exorcist 3. I’m interested in seeing the reassembled cut or whatever it is. It’s not the same as watching the film as originally intended but Morgan Creek lost the original footage. btw the TV series isn’t as crap as it should be but it’s as silly as it could be.
JEDIT oh maaaaaan.

I popped the disk in. But it seems to be the wrong fricking region. I was having such a nice day too. Oh hum.

Weird, a few days after this I got a MYSTERIOUS package in the mail that contained this very same Exorcist 3 set. THE VERY SAME!

Spooky!

Trump tweets to support LL Bean, but links to the one lady on the board who actually likes him’s side company selling lobsters, somehow screwing over LL Bean because now people will boycott it while promoting her personal business.

Good use of power there, Trump.

huh? him’s? and what do lobsters have to do with LL Bean?

OK, so LL Bean has a member on their board who supports Trump. The board denounces her for proclaiming any political affiliation at all. This board member also owns a company selling Lobster. What Trump does in his tweet is tell his supporters to shop LL Bean, while linking to the profile of the board member’s lobster company, making it so liberals want to stop supporting LL Bean while making conservatives want to buy lobsters from the board member’s side business. So Trump hurt the LL Bean board that rejected his friend by causing a boycott while promoting the personal business of his friend. Seems really shitty to me.

When I read the articles today the much more worrying thing about this movie were the things the co-directors (??) said. These guys sound like total bozos.

They are comedy directors, first and foremost, so they’re going to be a bit goofy.

And wtf would anyone want to watch a Han-Solo learning-from-his-mentor (?!?!?!) movie?

I’m imagining this is more like a Saw Guerra role, in for like 3 scenes and we’re left wondering why they made a big casting reveal for this.

The best thing TNG ever did for the franchise was make red the command division colour. So much better than pissy gold or milquetoast white.

I agree, the red does look way better as command. However, the command red shirts did kind of hurt the “red shirt dies” joke industry

Which was actually the point of Roddenberry wanting them to swap colors!

Remember that time in DS9 when Sisko’s dead wife comes over from the Mirror Universe and he introduces her to his young son like this is normal?

I’m with Frink.

I think Woody is going to be great in the movie. He’s the best part of the Hunger Games movies.

That being said, I’ve read some parts of it and it seems to be a huge bs. As if Russia was planing 5 years ago that Trump would be the US president…

It’s Buzzfeed, it’s not a shocker. Also, the fact that it’s riddled with errors and many of the allegations are turning out to be provably untrue (such as Trump’s lawyer meeting with People in Prague when he has come out in said not only is that not true, he has literally never been to Prague in his life).

Trump saying he has literally never been to Prague is the very definition of literally unprovable. Trump is as legitimate a source as Buzzfeed is, which is to say “not at all.”

Also, Buzzfeed being Buzzfeed doesn’t mean that there’s nothing to see here.

http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2017-01-11/amid-claims-of-russia-donald-trump-ties-john-mccain-says-he-sent-sensitive-information-to-fbi

It wasn’t Trump, but a member of his council. It’s absurd to claim it’s unprovable. I don’t know how often you travel overseas but using a one’s passport and plane travel records it would be easy to prove where one has been at a specific point in time, especially if you can prove you were actually in the United States (as that dude is claiming) at the exact same time it’s alleged you were in Prague (which he is claiming he has never been to in his life).

Can he prove he was in the US?

While Cohen’s passport didn’t seem to contain stamps from the Czech Republic, he wouldn’t necessarily need to have one if he visited the country. The Czech Republic is part of the Schengen Area, a group of 26 European countries that have a border agreement. Visitors must present a passport when they first enter the area, but they do not necessarily need to show the document when they travel between countries within the zone. Based on the passport pages he showed to Yahoo News, Cohen made multiple visits to Schengen countries, from which he could have traveled on to the Czech Republic, including a trip to Paris last year.

In fact, Sean Spicer just essentially said in the press conference that they don’t even know where he was.

http://www.npr.org/2017/01/11/509137239/watch-live-trump-holds-first-press-conference-as-president-elect

Michael Cohen, who is said to have visited Prague in August and September, did not leave or enter the United States during this time. We asked him to produce his passport to confirm his whereabouts on the dates in question. And there was no doubt that he was not in Prague.

In fact, Mr. Cohen has ever been in Prague. A new report actually suggests that Michael Cohen was at the University of Southern California with his son at a baseball game. One report now suggested apparently it is another Michael Cohen:.

Did you read what you quoted? In very last paragraph they looked at his passport during the time he was alleged to be in Prague, and he was not out of the country.

???

Based on the passport pages he showed to Yahoo News, Cohen made multiple visits to Schengen countries, from which he could have traveled on to the Czech Republic, including a trip to Paris last year.

“So is Michael telling the truth? Has he ever been to Prague?” Trump asked, according to Cohen.

Bannon informed Trump that the passport didn’t show travel to the Czech Republic, Cohen said. After Bannon looked at the document, Cohen said Trump’s chief of staff, Reince Priebus, press secretary Sean Spicer and special counselor Kellyanne Conway all checked out the passport. He also showed it to Vice President-elect Mike Pence.

“He didn’t spend two seconds looking at it. He was like, ‘I believe you, Mike,’” Cohen said of Pence.

Where does it say “they looked at his passport during the time he was alleged to be in Prague, and he was not out of the country?” It says it didn’t show travel to the CR…and even if they said what you are saying, I can’t imagine any reason that Trump, Bannon, Priebus, Spicer and Conway would all lie. They’re all upstanding honest truthful people with no motivation to lie whatsoever.

This is their response to the intelligence report:

Michael Cohen, who is said to have visited Prague in August and September, did not leave or enter the United States during this time. We asked him to produce his passport to confirm his whereabouts on the dates in question. And there was no doubt that he was not in Prague.

When you travel overseas you get your passport stamped as you exit and enter the United States. When you’re an American - it is exceedingly easy to prove where and when one has been in terms of being in the country or not being in the country during a specific window of time. The report is alleging he was in Prague during a specific time period and his he is claiming his passport shows that he was not out of the country during that time. If you’re within the United States it is extremely difficult to also be in Prague - you’d need very very long arms. All that nonsense about the Shengen Zone is irrelevant - that only applies if you’re in EU territory, as is the fact that a different Michael Cohen might have been at a particular baseball game in LA (seeing as the important fact wasn’t that he was at a specific baseball game in this country, but merely somewhere in this country during that time.)

2. Aside from this, the people who are claiming anything about this are completely untrustworthy and have every reason to lie about it.

lol

???

I’ve never seen Kellyanne Conway (just to pick one of them) say anything approaching the truth.

For sure, but they could just as easily say the same about Buzzfeed.

I already said Buzzfeed is as trustworthy as Trump or any Trump lackey. There is plenty here without relying on Buzzfeed.

Alright, that’s fair. I haven’t been following the story too closely, and I’ve only been half-paying attention to the conversation in this thread.

Buzzfeed is running with a document that has been around for a while, it’s just that no one has reported on it.

Here’s what the US electoral college map would look like if Trump were into it

I don’t get it.

It’s a golden showers joke.

And of course McCain would hand it over the authorities, then the intelligence agencies would go through the process of vetting its legitimacy. From the NBC report:

According to the senior official, the two-page summary about the unsubstantiated material made available to the briefers was to provide context, should they need it, to draw the distinction for Trump between analyzed intelligence and unvetted “disinformation.”

Right, everyone important has already seen this, and were going to sit on it until it was proven. BuzzFeed gets a hold of it and makes the decision that we should REALLY make sure it’s untrue by publishing it. Trump was briefed it was coming.

Also, this is literally Star Wars: The Next Generation for the next generation. Why shouldn’t the villains get away from the classical definitions of villains?

Well, I guess that classified documents aren’t supposed to get leaked, are they ? That being said, I’ve read some parts of it and it seems to be a huge bs. As if Russia was planing 5 years ago that Trump would be the US president…

This isn’t supposed to show that Russia planned for him to win the Precidency, just that Russia (supposedly) has a lot of dirt on Trump and he owes them a lot of money, which would make people concerned that he can be controlled by them.

Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to “leak” into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?

Yes, intelligence agencies should actively stop the press from publishing things.

Wait, what?

We need someone to cover Paul & Storm about Adywan editing like the wind.

So can I get an answer to my question or at least an acknowledgement or are you guys just gonna leave me hanging here?

Because I can do that.

Eventually Ady will open a prequel thread, then I’m sure it’ll be addressed.

Well i was going to release ESB:R next month, but i think i will leave that until 2020 just to make him suffer more after his comment 😉

Now everyone will think it is coming next month.
