Which version/release of the Star Wars movies do you watch and why?
Time

I always suspected that Lucas fell behind on technology, which is very sad given how innovative he was. It took years for the OT to arrive on DVD in its heavily altered form, and then Lucas was way behind on blu-ray.

Didn’t he at one point have a Prince-esque reaction to online piracy also, and was using it as an excuse for not releasing the OT on blu ray? Was that a dream?

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

Does anyone else think that Robert Christgau is the most pretentious and obnoxious media critic in the United States? He constantly (and rudely) accuses all artists whose music doesn’t meet his criteria of being horrible and non-genuine. He seems friendly enough in person, but his comment musing about how Paul McCartney should’ve been murdered instead of John was just beyond despicable.

EDIT: After some further reading, it was his wife that made the McCartney comment, and Christgau co-opted it for his article.

I had to look up what that even meant.

I’ll admit, so did I.

But why hate on the King James?

Well, he’s obviously one of the best players the NBA has ever seen, and he has won two titles, but the way he’s gone about it has been less than inspiring.

Good point, but his use of the word “King” as a title strikes me as a clear endorsement for a return to a monarchical government.

The imperialscum "Furiously Doing His Taxes" Thread

Eh, it was going to be locked as soon as Silverwook logged in anyway. I played a part in that more than anyone other than Ryan.

Maybe you can offer some insight on this. Why would someone who has only posted about 100 comments since apparently 2010 (if we count lurking) suddenly decide to post fifty comments in less than two days almost exclusively revolving around how everyone on this sight is so “hypocritical”? That time could be better spent doing something less obnoxious, like taxes perhaps.

Get back to doing fake research at your study-abroad college internship program – that I’m sure mommy and daddy are paying for – you conceited child!

I don’t think you are in a position to be able to call anyone a child, after making such a childish post.

I must have struck a nerve. Get off of your high horse, and maybe people will stop calling you out.
