Unless they’re planning a wider, home media release of the '97 (which I doubt)

This will never happen. I’d bet my entire savings that it will never happen, ever. Even if it does, I’m not out anything because I’d probably die of shock.

They certainly won’t do a standalone release of the 97, but I don’t think it’s out of the question at all that it’s included as part of a Blade Runner-esque box of all cuts of the OT.

That’s certainly been my preferred scenario for a while now. I know most people would be overjoyed enough to finally have a properly restored OOT, but the ‘97 version provides the proper historical context for Lucas’ revising of the films in the first place and would be conspicuously absent in a “definitive” collection.

I don’t want it to happen purely because it would only serve to drive up the price. It’s a selfish line of thought, but what can I say?

On Segregating Sports By Gender

One of my biggest gripes with the general sports industry is how it has always segregated men and women. One of the arguments against a mixed sport is that the men would always win. This, however, is very condescending and sexist. A big counter argument would be tennis, where there are many women players who can rival the men.

There you go. That’s what’s currently bouncing in my noggin’.

Tennis isn’t a contact sport.

They were illegal here for public use up until a few years ago.

Incredibly nothing has been destroyed by them yet (this is sarcasm). Almost like you can trust people to act like adults sometimes.

the only thing I trust people to do, is to act like idiots sometimes. Fact: people have being killed/seriously injured by others being stupid with their fireworks. It happens every 4th of July. I say leave them in the hands of the pros.

It doesn’t even take idiocy to get injured or killed by fireworks. I was hosting a 4th of July party once and an artillery shell firework tipped over for no good reason and hit a girl that was in the driveway.

X-Men (2000) - 6/10

Most characters are criminally underdeveloped, especially Cyclops, the action scenes are mostly lacking (apart from a very fun sequence involving Toad), and it tries to be overly gritty even though the premise is ludicrous. The CGI has dated considerably as well. But that being said, I love the relationship between Wolverine and Rogue, and between Charles and Erik. I liked most of the movie, so I guess that’s enough to recommend it.

This movie came out before you were even born?
