Why do all new users since the release of TFA suck? (Not counting KillerQueen of course!)

I’m old, from 2005. But I kind of suck, I admit it.

(hangs head and walks away). Nobody loves me

That right; I thought your picture looked familiar, but I saw “37 posts” and assumed you just showed up to make uncomfortable posts. Disregard my rude comments, and consider my apologies. MaláStrana made me hasty to judge new users 😉

This is the End (2013): 7/10

A lot of the jokes didn’t hit home, and at times it felt as if the actors were making themselves out to be these really great people, but I quite enjoyed the film anyway.

The World is not Enough (1999): 7/10

Call me crazy, but I quite liked it. Sure Christmas Jones was an absolutely terrible love interest, and the plot was pretty muddy, but on the other hand we have the excellent music and action, and the great villains.

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999): 5/10

Meh, it could be much, much worse (Think: Attack of the Clones).

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015): 7/10

I like it even more this time. The story, while copied pretty much beat for beat from A New Hope, worked, and the characters are fun and memorable.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982): 9/10

Very fun, all the actors were great, music was great, villain was absolutely brilliant, a little overacting here and there, but extremely great.

Goldfinger (1964): 9/10

Take notes MCU; this is how you make a fun filled romp.

Casino Royale (2006): 9/10

Take notes DCCU; this is how you make a gritty reboot.

I absolutely LOVE the World is Not Enough!

That sucks. 😦

I can relate…last year at school I had to give a presentation on French poetry (in French–this was in Quebec), and it went something like that. Only high school students are (probably) less mature than your colleagues, so it was certainly a lesson in humility!

I take solace in knowing that everyone has most likely already forgotten about it!

Noooooooo…I can’t be the only sensible one there!

excuse me?

You aren’t in General SW anyway, why would that concern you?

Another user has joined today in General SW who – if his current posts are a warning – will be extremely annoying. I’m tired of it.

I remember how the Scarecrow broke the necks of several crows in the book, and the Tin Man chopped the heads off of the flying monkeys with his axe. The slippers were also silver!

I loved how one of them, can’t remember which, nearly cried when stepping on a bug, then proceeded to kill a ton of other animals with no remorse.

It was self defense.

One of the biggest changes between the book and movie was that Dorothy had actually seduced a local politician, and Mrs. Gulch (the wife of said politician) arrived to confront Auntie Em over that, and not the dog. I was also surprised to read that Dorothy killed the witch by shooting her in the back with a revolver instead of pooring water on her.

I think MGM made the right decision to make the story more family friendly in those respects, although it is still pretty terrifying.
