Then why else would you be reading scanned pdfs and be bothered that you can’t select the text on them?

You were being sarcastic about the splitting, obviously taking a jab at me with that comment.

I was being sarcastic but not necessarily jabbing at you so much as jabbing at myself. I don’t doubt that I have some kind of mental problem and I like to make fun of myself.

I see. Then I truly apologize.

I don’t think that an apology is necessary.

Are you doing college reading assigments?

I can’t wait to not watch the Superbowl! Hopefully all the players will get arrested the night before on drug possession charges and they have no choice but to cancel the game.

moviefreakedmind’s post made me smile.

Which one? I get that a lot.

EDIT: Sorry, I can’t figure out how to quote multiple things on my phone.

Does Mel Brooks know?

Just a sec, I’ll ask him.

Heaven forbid! Probably watches MLP too!

I bet Hillary’d have won if he did.

I don’t get so many people’s obsession with public figures’ infidelity.

I don’t really care as long as it’s consensual.

Of course when Republicans drape themselves in faux-religion and then do it, it makes them massive hypocrites on that front.

Faux-religion aside, if they’re willing to stab their lifepartner in the back for the cheap thrills of infidelity then I don’t trust them woth little old me’s best interests either.

I’m shocked that anyone could ever sit through the entire Holiday Special. I think I might have made it through five or ten minutes at the most.

I watch it on YouTube all the time. Bea Arthur is great. It’s definitely better than the prequels and special editions. No, that’s not hyperbole. There is nothing in the Holiday Special worse than jar-jar or that Jedi rocks musical crap.

No, it’s not better than the prequels or SEs.

Art is objective, not subjective.

Okay. The Holiday Special is objectively not art.

All movies are fan service of one type or another. People only seem to ridicule it when they aren’t a fan of some aspect.

Exactly. People just use it as a whiny buzzword.

I refuted this generalization in an earlier post.

I said that I was splitting and I never made any generalizations about prolifers.

I’ve never said anything about your morality.

They spoke and drew attention to themselves awkwardly.

‘From New York to Seattle, check out these aerial views of the Women’s March across the country’

Aerial views - https://twitter.com/CNN/status/954900635316576256

Also see the March for Life!

Good to see that the right is finally supporting universal healthcare an ending the wars! Oh…

Yeah, those darn Republicans! How dare they value different things from Democrats!

Universal healthcare and ending the wars are things that they should value and if they don’t then I question their character. I must just be splitting.

They could be in it without being a distraction.

Threepio and Artoo being at the Rebel base makes sense if Bail Organa is there. There’s nothing to contradict them not having been to the Yavin system before.
Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba being on Jedha was pushing it. Had they simply been in the foreground or background of a crowd scene instead of calling attention to them would have been better.

Exactly, and the same goes for R2 and 3PO. Calling attention to then is just a distraction from the plot to say, “Remember these guys?” I don’t mind Easter eggs, I just don’t like it when films stop in order to draw my attention to things that are exciting purely because they were in other, better films.

Sorry for temporarily ruining this thread, I’ll leave now.

Big Michael Vick fan, huh?

EDIT: He played for the Eagles at one point, right? My jokes are getting dated these days.

I hate everybody at the women’s march and I hate everybody at the march for life and I hope the ground splits open and all of them fall into the Earth. Sounds fair and unbiased to me.

My goodness. Is there anyone you don’t hate?

I like Bill Shatner a lot. I think he’s a nice man.

Too bad. This is the NFL thread. Cheering for one’s team here is allowed.

I never said it wasn’t allowed. I’m going to root against the Eagles in this thread now.

Down with the Eagles! Philidelphia can go to hell!

On the media subject, the right has attempted and succeeded on their side to falsely label the media as one big liberal entity. It isn’t. Fox News is the biggest cable network and is as biased against the Democrats as ever (as Frink pointed out), conservatives have nearly a monopoly on talk radio, InfoWars and it’s ripoffs are huge, plenty of online outlets and YouTube are full of rightwing drivel. The left is not unique in running shit news outlets. Also, the shit leftwing outlets aren’t as bad as the shit rightwing outlets. InfoWars and Breitbart are a million times worse than things like Vox, Jezebel, or even the Young Turks.

This is incredibly annoying.

This isn’t the case. The King’s Speech isn’t fan service. The fan service most people talk about is the inclusion of certain things for no reason other than because fans will recognize it, usually to the detriment of the overall film. The “You’ll be dead” guys and R2 and 3PO in RO were perfect examples of that. There’s a danger that they will do similar stunts like that in Han Solo’s movie, such as having Greedo show up and tell a joke about how he likes to shoot first or something. If Greedo has a purpose for being in the film other than to cameo for fans, then it wouldn’t be fan service in the detrimental sense.
