Thanks, I guess I was just out of the loop.

Star Wars - Harmy’s Despecialized v2.7 (thank you, towne32!)

?

I wasn’t originally planning on anything, but now that I think about it, the Despecialized Edition sounds pretty fun right about now.

I don’t blame him but I hope he will change his mind for a variety of reasons.

Agreed. Funnily enough, Off Topic is currently the only place of refuge from this nonsense, although that seems to be changing fast.

Great. We lost one of the greatest contributors to this website for the last ten years over a completely asinine debate.

Um, no. If it was an asinine debate, adywan wouldn’t be leaving. Someone being completely insensitive and then trying to defend it over and over is not a debate.

I don’t blame him one bit. Also, it’s been a longer buildup, and it isn’t just this “debate”. The reason this one in particular is so obnoxious is because it is just another example of a thread being hijacked and turned into a senseless debate, as well as a platform to discuss fictions about how poorly certain members are treating others.

Personally I don’t find it offensive when random people around here call me something like that. Something as petty as that could never have any chance at offending someone intelligent like me. But I understand, not everyone is like me.

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!

Bingo: You really hit the nail on the head regarding the Peter Gabriel vs. Phil Collins discussion.

I’d reply but I don’t want you to throw another tantrum, I know how hard it is for you to fathom that you could ever be wrong.

It’s chill though, you’re allowed to bully everyone but nobody can say anything you don’t like or you’ll get angry and act all self-righteous.
I get it, I’ve dealt with people like you before and at this point I just feel sorry for you.
If making fun of others and mocking people is how you spend your free time then I’m not going to lose too much sleep over accidentally offending someone on the internet who regularly belittles other people.
For the record I never would have used the word if I’d known it would upset you, even though the original comment was not directed at you anyway.

You can keep trying to challenge me for that little ego boost it seems to give you but I’m not helping out with that anymore.
I also really wish you’d keep to your word of “not having anything more to say to you,” but oh well.

Taking a page out of Ghimli’s book I see. In all seriousness, this is getting old fast, so just please let it go. I think I can speak for everyone when saying that nobody wants to hear any more drama about how much Frink is supposedly mistreating people. There’s enough of that trash in the General Star Wars Discussion section of the website.

If you don’t see it, then the awesomeness of the rest of your posts corrupted you I guess.

I fixed your typo.

That’s almost as embarrassing as the new Ghostbusters trailer.

Is Red Lights considered a major motion picture? It certainly has one of the ugliest colour palettes I’ve had the misfortune of seeing.

Was it shown in a theatre? 😉

I’m sure that a crappy girl-power movie brings misogynists out of the woodwork, so I’m not doubting that, but I think we might be disagreeing on whether or not being opposed to remaking Ghostbusters with women is misogynist in and of itself.

EDIT: Also, I would call them apples and oranges, but because TFA was a real movie that happened to have a female lead; Ghostbusters is a pointless remake with one of its main purposes and gimmicks being replacing the original cast members with women. That’s why it’s so hated.

As I said, I’m sure a disastrous trailer like this with such a goofy premise draws misogynists in from all over the internet, but let’s not pretend that this would have been received well had it been the same trailer yet with four men.

Could anyone confirm this for me? I’m not concerned about Civil War, I just find it incredibly hard to believe that any major motion picture could have a worse color palette than ROTS.

“They don’t hold up to scrutiny” is some A+ imperialsum-level wordsmithery.

Hopefully he’s impscum’s sock! 😉

I couldn’t imagine Impscum defending the PT while hating TFA. We got to give the man some kind of credit.

I’m pretty sure he has at some point. But I was just joking around about the sock.

Buzzwords scapegoat and scrutiny, lol.

OT fans think they can steel words from PT fans.

Please find her help, even if she’s angry now she’ll be eternally grateful later.

I don’t think he knows who she is. He said he communes with her on a forum website.

Neither have I. I’ve been meaning to, but I never seem to get around to it.

Lol, there are tons of covers done for profit.

I only watch youtube covers so…

. . . therefore covers for profit don’t exist?

LuckyGungan2001 said:

To be fair, I think that ROTS is inferior to most things, but I don’t mind it, mostly because of nostalgia.

That’s some debilitating nostalgia. I don’t have room to talk though since I prefer getting cavities filled with mercury, but mostly just because of the nostalgia.

DuracellEnergizer said:

Why is Peter Gabriel a much better solo artist than Phil Collins?

Peter Gabriel is incredibly talented and made creative music. Phil Collins went the pop star route.

DominicCobb said:

Unfortunately there’s really not much doubt about the dislike of the Ghostbusters trailer being due at least in part to misogyny.

Beloved movies/franchises getting reboot/remakes are far from something new (and neither are bad trailers). The volume here is telling (not to mention the comments).

Where was the massive backlash against TFA? I know some racist and misogynist fools came out and complained, but the trailers were received positively. The Ghostbusters trailer was received poorly because it was an unfunny trailer.

“The entire planet is Coruscant”

You mean, “The entire planet is one big city.”

Nope.

“Stole” is a harsh word. Since the early days of blues, artists have borrowed licks and riffs from each other. There’s a difference between similar riffs and plagiarism.

Lord Haseo said:

I’ll never listen to Master of Puppets again because they stole a riff from Slayer on that song. The part in towards the middle is kind of beautiful though but I’m not an overall fan of the song .

If you can’t listen to songs whose riffs were inspired/lifted by previous artists, then you’ll have to delete your entire iTunes library.

lol

So you’ve listened to every Thrash Metal album?

They’re all exactly the same.

Wrong. Metallica is nothing like Slayer, Megadeth is nothing like Kreator, Sepultura has hardly anything in common with Kreator, Destruction is nothing like Sodom etc.

Metallica is thrash?

I think they had one thrash album.
