I honestly don’t think 234 was someone teaching us a valuable lesson. Was it a perfect representation of the exact kind of user we don’t care for? Absolutely.

Since [POLITICS] happened a couple weeks ago, I’ve been rip-roaring to stand up to bullies. After an opportunity to do so happened at work, I was fired up and took out some more rage on the aforementioned troll. The lesson I said I learned was basically a realization that I should have a limit to my kindness, or people will walk all over me.

This isn’t the dawning of a kinder, gentler 005, humbled by The Perfect Troll. This is a woke 005, who is ready to stand up for himself and others.

We’re all eager to go frame-by-frame and point out every little pixel that could be tweaked. Or maybe that’s just me.

When will we see an official thread for Return of the Jedi Revisited. I would be interested in seeing/hearing what Ady and others have to say about that film. I feel as though we have talked about this film forever(seven years). Jus

When it’s ready.

But seriously, it’ll be a month or so after ESBR comes out, I’m sure.

So what was the final straw that got the account banned?
And did we figure out if it was a banned users sock?

It was from a new area of the world, but socks can be tricky.

And I think it was taking it outside of OT that really got him.

Crooked mods, listening to the population of the forum instead of doing what they want. Sad!

Looks like the current administration very cowardly banned 234. Sad!

I just don’t see how that’s possible. What threads were you reading that entire year that you didn’t see Frink? Why aren’t you trying to rational discussions in those threads?

You can’t play ignorant about how forums work then reference long gone accounts and inside jokes.

Your very name is suspicious.

We’re still in the transition process. We cannot be responsible for new users yet.

This happens in ANH when Han is shooting at Stormtroopers in Docking Bay 94.

Tvs frinck js bullying and harassing me and no one is takings me serious now people are accusing me of being a sock i dont even no what that is

Last chance. If you are indeed a real person who is new to this forum and confused by how you are being treated, it would help if you put a little effort into making your posts legible and actually contributing something besides complaining about TV’s. Once you have something serious to say, maybe people will take you seriously.

You’re gonna have to try a lot harder than this.

He’s not wrong, it is ridiculous.

I found a couple edits on this website but they don’t seem to fix the major problems of the movies.

I find that the Ridiculous Edits fix all my problems with the movies.

Nothing beats Lucas’ explanation, where somehow your Force ghost is only as young as you were the last time you were on the light side? So Anakin gets to be younger because he was a shit for longer.

I don’t recall any gags, can you point a few out?

Gags (spoilers, maybe):

Cruise jumps off of a moving car to crash into a yoga studio in an uncomfortable position as a woman with her head between her legs waddles over to assist.

Cruise jumps on the back of a jet pack policeman, who then flies into an apartment, cooking their hamburgers for them as the woman keeps yelling to get out of her apartment. This is followed immediately by cutaways to the family in the apartment above backing away from their dinner table just before the jet pack flies through it.

Cruise drops his (old) eyeballs and chases them down a hallway into a sewer grate.

I think there were a couple others, they just didn’t fit. Maybe a fan edit would help, but I don’t care enough to find/make one.

I see we opened up registration again. I’ve missed these quality threads.

I sit corrected.

Beru’s second “Hello” has Baby Luke’s echo on it. I will admit that I kind of teared up at the final final bit.

Minority Report

There’s really no reason why I haven’t seen it until this point, but I figured I would love it as it combines a lot of my favorite things (time paradoxes, Speilberg, Tom Cruise action film). However, I found it uneven tonally, to the point of distraction. I could understand having funny scenes, but there were gags just in the middle of things that threw me right off. I liked it well enough, but had it taken itself a bit more seriously I would have liked it even more.

3/5

Am I alone in this?

I wanted to break down the known Infinity Stones and how most of them have been on Earth forever. Figured I’d just come up with my notes here to share.

Space Stone (Tesseract): Hidden/lost on Earth until Loki steals it from SHIELD. Currently in Asgard.
Mind Stone (Septer): Given by Thanos to Loki who loses it on Earth. Currently in Vision’s forehead, on Earth.
Reality Stone (Aether): Hidden/lost on Earth until Malekith steals it from Jane Foster. Currently in Asgard.
Power Stone (Orb): Hidden/lost on Morag until Star-Lord steals it, & Ronan from him. Currently on Xandar.
Time Stone (Eye of Agamotto): Sitting in a libary on Earth until Doctor Strange steals it. Currently back in the library on Earth.
Soul Stone (???): ???

So 3 of the Stones have been on Earth for hundreds/thousands of years (ignoring the easter eggs in Odin’s Vault). One was in Thanos’ possession until he lost it on Earth. One had been on a dead planet for hundreds/thousands of years.

How long has Thanos been searching for them? The one he started with (Mind Stone) he gave to a trickster god who promptly failed to gain the Space Stone. The Reality Stone was hidden in a pocket dimension, IIRC, and we can assume the Time Stone is hidden through magic (it’s possible that Kamar-Taj is in a pocket dimension itself, though it still has wifi).

Infinity War will be interesting, as Thanos has to go through the Avengers (Mind), Asgardians (Space/Reality/Soul?), Guardians (Power), and Sorcerors (Time) to collect them all, even if he only has to go to three planets to do that.

Nope, just the Prime universe.

Saw Doctor Strange yesterday. Wasn’t very impressed by it. Seemed like the character arced rather quickly while everything else slowed down long enough to explain everything twice.

Before that I watched Exorcist III for the first time, on Blu-ray thanks to Bingowings. I’m not a horror movie fan, but I liked the original Exorcist and I feel that this had a good amount of balance between creepy stuff and weird shit and genuinely scry bits. I haven’t watched the “Director’s Cut”, which should be an interesting experiment.

I imagine it’s more that they’ll be a Klingon captain adversary. A Federation captain doesn’t fit in with Worf being the first Klingon in Starfleet thing.

Maybe they can bend it because Worf was the first to go to the Academy, but hopefully they don’t do that.
