Good luck to the Red Devils! š
Good luck to the Red Devils! š
^ enjoyed that, nice one!
In fact I enjoyed that too much - instead of doing the lawn - Iāll now be playing Jedi Outcast, likely followed by Lego Star Wars š
I thought it had just read one of pajaās posts and looked a little confused!
Just kidding paja - your dog looks like it has some character about it mate š
We have a forum for such things.
https://originaltrilogy.com/discussion/Feedback-Forum/id/5Iām pretty sure, based on past responses, it would be a waste of time.
Because there have been no updates & improvements of late, right?
Though I seem to recall Jay has seemingly addressed a lot of issues in there, yes?

It still doesnāt mean this is the new Feedback thread - take any suggestions, grumblings, and ermā¦ feedback to where SilverWook linked to.
Stay on topic please folks - thank you š
In a movie where Luke Skywalker of all people is presented as a jaded cynic - I donāt think Holdo is supposed to be perceived as in the right over Poe, fwiw.
Poe is a brash hotshot, sure, but donāt overthink it - Holdo as a leader definitely made huge mistakes. Everyone is at fault for what happens, but thatās partly why TLJ is so good to me. Itās been said to death, but the movie proposes this question specifically about what defines a hero, and Holdo isnāt exempt from that scrutiny imo.
Exactly. This is a film about failure. At no point are we supposed to believe that Holdo is a perfect, immaculate leader - in fact we purposefully spend most of the movie being lead to believe the opposite. Whatās important when they flip the script is that Holdoās heart was in the right place in regards to āsavingā not āfighting.ā
Seems pretty much spot on to me.

iām only one minute in and heās already bashing everyone that doesnāt like the movie and saying that we donāt like it simply because our theories were wrong. thatās simply not true, i liked rey being a nobody, but i wish we had more information on Snoke to help bridge the 30 year gap and how we went from āRIP the empireā to āRIP the rebelsā with a new extremely powerful emperor. weāre two movies in already and we have no idea why the galaxy is in the state itās in, and Snokeās ābackstoryā could help with that.
Yeah, youāre not going to get an explanation and info you seek from a video like that above, or likely many other fan opinion videos.
Even for more in-depth info for the Original Trilogy we had to wait years until the Prequels - or read books and comics sometime after the release of the OT. The same will likely happen for Snoke too - book and comics filling his backstory - though may be the new animated series or perhaps the new live action action tv series will give you the answers / more info.
I think HelloGreedo made some good points about that, in this video, here (3 and bit mins long):-

As to āiām only one minute in and heās already bashing everyone that doesnāt like the movieāā¦ I did say the title of the video was likely referring to those those (somewhat over-emotionally) criticising it - mainly vloggers & youtubers etc, and contains a guyās opinion in addressing some of their complaints.

Iād like to compliment the camera operators at the World Cup so far - some great shots of the crowd enjoying themselves - thankfully usually shown when the ball is not in play! š

^ Someoneās opinion on the film (Maj0r Lee) - has some decent insights and viewpoints that havenāt really been delved into much before (which is somewhat surprising - given the endless repetitive nature of debate on TLJ).
It also addresses some of the criticisms of the film - which is a strange surreal watch (and humourous), given the claims and emotions by some of those criticising it (mainly vloggers & youtubers etc - whom seem to be the people being referred to in the title of his video).

Respect and remembrance to all those who fought (not just on the battlefield) to defeat the Nazis & Axis Powers in World War Two.

A question re college football (and probably a wider American football discussion) - what happens to those that donāt progress to the pro-leagues? Are there amateur leagues, or local leagues in which teams play? (people who may not be āgoodā at it - though just enjoy playing), Social games even?
Or do people just stop playing? Take up another sport or do something else?
There seems to be many courts around for basketball, and you only really need a patch of grass and some ājumpers for goalpostsā for soccer - yet what of Amercian football?
Saw a packet of these for sale yesterdayā¦
Used to love these as a kid - most kids around us did too. The corner shop would often sell out (handily located around the corner from the school - doing a cracking trade of sugary goodness).
I mistakenly thought jawbreakers had been banned selling them 25+ years ago - man, those fireballs were hot - probably the reason why I thought they stopped selling them - or were banned - plus all the sugar, artificial colouring and flavourings etc š
Fireball, sour, original and fruit flavoursā¦ mouthā¦ youāre about to go on a nostalgia trip š

Star Wars fandom hits new depths - a couple of days ago someone posted up āRian Johnson had diedā online - with the text of āRian Johnson has been found dead this morning in his L.A home, details are still arising but suicide has yet to be ruled outā.
I donāt evenā¦this is getting beyond sick. Whatever happened to Donāt give into hate?
As dysfunctional as it gets around here, itās telling that projects are underway to preserve the theatrical TPM and even the 1997 Special Edition.
The lad who posted about Rian Johnson dying even knocked up an obituary picture with RIP and other text on it to go with his sick claim.
Ā
Iām somewhat surprised the 2/3 people in here whoāve made inappropriate comments havenāt started their own āContinuing with The Toxic Fandom - Our Standā type of threadā¦ instead they try and derail and/or negate this thread, or give feeble hypocritical remarks or explanations as to why itās okay to do - that itās fun - thatās itās actually pathetic someone is actually hurt or affected by them (āvictim blamingā?)ā¦ almost like they didnāt think much at all.
It seems heās just a kid and English may not be his first language. Iām sure he meant well but he kept commenting on every single one of the pictures in my ESB comparison albums saying variations of:
āThis Shot Needs To Replace With 35mm Print Scan (Team-1) or Poitaās 35mm 4k scan For The Empire Strikes Back Despecialized v2.5āand he kept at it even after I replied a few times with:
āI know youāre probably trying to be helpful here but all youāre doing is spamming my email (I get a notification every time someone comments) because I know very well which shots need to be replaced using 35mm sources - all of them. Thereās no reason to use old standard definition sources in the new versions any more and all shots need to be redone, since the next versions will be 1080p.ā
So, I ended up blocking him from commenting.
Ok, Ok, Fine, I Will Stop
Could you explain you posting this as a reply to what Harmy wrote? I donāt get it.
Are you implying anything he said around it made sense to you?
Hopefully, heāll start making sense soon, mate. Very soon.

Iāve written like 10 responses to that so far but none seem quite right.
