Those pressure waves ruined the whole movie for me. Thanks Jar Jar Abrams…
Over-react much? This is a weird thread, better lock it down if someone doesn’t like something in the movie, OMG!
What?
I always thought it was confusing that Luke was silent while falling in Cloud City. I wish he would have screamed bloody murder while falling. Preferably with a terribly out of place left over scream from Return of the Jedi.
The rest of you may not view this as good news, but as of today, I have a driver’s license.
Where I grew up everyone started driving at age fourteen. Technically only legally when going to school but that did not stop anyone from driving where ever they wanted, whenever they wanted.

I enjoy Presence quite a bit actually, but it just does not blow my mind like Graffiti or Houses. ITTOD is mediocre but I love Fool in the Rain and All My Love. In the Evening is pretty cool, but for the most part everything else is forgettable at best for me. That is the only album by LZ (excluding Coda) that I can say that about. Hot Dog is kind of embarrassing and extremely out of character.
I recently picked up Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust! I was so happy to find that one! I also picked up Led Zeppelin’s Coda. I am really hoping to find Velvet Underground & Nico soon, but I may just pick up a reissue of that one.
Of all the led zeppelins you picked that one? Lol. I mean it’s zeppelin so Obviously it has it’s moments and “we’re gonna groove” will always be special to me as one of the first songs I learned on guitar (btw did you know that the drums bass and vocals are taken from a live performance with the guitars overdubbed and “I can’t quit you baby” is an actual live performance that they somehow got rid of the crowd noise on? The original mixes of both are on the “How the west was won” DVD) it’s vastly superior to any other led zep record.
My plan is to get all of the Led Zeppelin albums on vinyl, and Coda was the only one at the store, not to mention it was extremely cheap and the vinyl itself was in pretty beautiful shape. Now I just need to find Led Zeppelin I & III, and Houses of the Holy. I may get the reissues of those though since their Atlantic records tend to cost almost as much used. That way I can get the lovely, pristine sounding 180g vinyl, which is worth the extra cost, especially for those albums.
I used to have very negative feelings towards Coda, and after first listening to it I never bothered to pick it up again until years later. I enjoy it for what it is and appreciate it a lot more now (Bonzo’s Montreux rocks!) than I did in years past. I still, in a way, view it as much more of a curiosity than as an actual album; that is a fitting perspective though since it is a collection of outtakes and oddly edited live recordings.
By the way, what is your opinion of In Through the Out Door and Presence?
COLD!

Sorry if I misrepresented you but it is how I interpreted your post. I have never considered Rey a Mary Sue, but I can understand people’s complaints about her defeating Kylo Ren being unbelievable.
Firstly, Lord Haseo, I completely agree with you about Rey so we can just leave it at that. I, however, just see no need to say that everyone who found it hard to believe she could beat Ren is a moron who cannot use their brain.
The pointless hashtag was to mock the faux “activists” always screaming about the “privilege” of people they do not know. All words need to be considered in context. If the term “Mary Sue” were used like the “F” and “N” words to label all women derogatorily then I would agree with you that it is sexist. Using it to describe a character you feel was unbelievably brilliant and perfect in every way is completely different. Should the word fag be frowned upon even when referring to cigarettes? Or is N.W.A. the most racist group on earth? Of course not! It depends on context.
It’s not the term itself, it’s how it’s used. And it’s sexist because no one ever accuses male characters of being a Mary Sue, or a Gary Stu, or Harry Flu, or whatever.
Wesley Crusher (a man… sort of) is quite possibly the most referenced Mary Sue character in the history of fiction. He is even mentioned in the Wiki page!
Well if it’s on Wiki it must be true.
I’ve literally never heard a single male character called this other than what you just said, and I’m not the only one.
And sexism takes many forms. You don’t have to be physically assaulted to be a victim.
I do not think Rey is a Mary Sue, but I will not just throw the accusation of sexism at people who think she is. I can understand why someone might say that she is a Mary Sue for seemingly mastering the force so quickly. I think since she had been living in the desert fending for herself for pretty much her whole life it makes perfect sense to me that she could handle herself and learn quickly. Being able to beat Kylo Ren and read his mind without any legitimate training is what bothered a lot of people.
I still think that complaining about a word and saying we should stop using it, especially a word used to label fictional (as in not real) characters, is the height of first world problems. The reason I brought up my example of sexism earlier was to implore people offended by the word “Mary Sue” to #CheckYourPrivilege.

Mary Sue is not sexist, this is language police gone mad and I guarantee it is not offensive to 99% of human beings on the planet earth. Pretending that it is sexist is a disservice to people who have experienced legitimate sexism. When at a restaurant while visiting Turkey, a relative of mine witnessed a woman get kicked by her husband for merely making eye contact with a male server. That is sexism. Uttering the term Mary Sue is not.
So that’s why I haven’t seen him around. I just figured he was one of those posters who signs up, posts prolifically for several weeks, then disappears back into the ether never to been heard from again.
You were thinking of Swagmasta
Poor wario64 was banned. Why? I do not know. It could not have been purely for obnoxiousness though could it?
I did not dislike them, or like them. I think a lot of people overreacted to them though for not living up to the Lord of the Rings movies in their eyes. Almost like people were just dying to make a PT-Hobbit comparison.
You are probably right.
One artist that sounds pretty much inarguably better on vinyl is ZZ Top. They have never had a good history when it comes to CD releases. Especially since I believe they only just released the original mixes for all of their pre-Eliminator albums a few years ago after replacing them the original drum track with some type of new 1980s drum machine type sound.
The Hobbit films did, like the prequels, seem to suffer from just too much stuff going on that was ultimately irrelevant to the overall plot. I personally found the Hobbit movies to be well-made, but just incredibly boring, while the prequels were poorly made and even more boring.

That is how it is.You’ve just given a perfect example of why nobody here likes you.
I know. Honesty is not appreciated.
Your “honesty” was just your opinion proposed as fact. You are not giving us any valuable insight, just your opinion and then the claim that we apparently hate the truth for disagreeing.
That is like “go ahead and tell hipsters that what they do is stupid”. I am not going to achieve anything.
And yet another example of your condescending and conceited statements.
Oh, that’s certainly the goal. I just don’t know if I make enough money monthly to live independently.
Why not?

I’ve got to be the only teenager who listens to them. 😄
I listened to them when I was a teenager!
Your family could have easily thrown you out of the house and never talked to you again the second you turned 18. Be careful when bashing the people who provide for you.
Well, that’s probably what would happen if I were to tell them just what it is I think about their cultic religion.
Regardless, it’s still their household. As others have said, if it is that awful then your goal needs to be to get out of that environment.
Everyone in my family, including my siblings and also my parents, were cut off at age 18. This did not mean that the parents were not willing to be supportive, but when we became adults, we were responsible for our own wellbeing. I do not think that this is bad parenting.
I do not know Duracell’s situation, I just think that we should all use caution when insulting the people who raised us.
Well, aside from my dumbshit parents and sister, I have no one to talk to, and I’m not going to bring this up with them; all they’d do is wag their finger at me, throw empty Bible quotes in my face, and/or make fun of my situation.

TN1 doesn’t need access to this site in order to continue their project
I have always noticed that TN1 got incredible leeway due to their contributions to the fan projects. To say that TN1 in anyway has been treated poorly by OriginalTrilogy is just not the case. We still do not know the full story on this particular event, but leading up to this TN1 has gotten away with the metaphoric murder of OriginalTrilogy’s account rules.
