World Cup 2018
Time

^ Really enjoyed that Portugal vs Spain match - hope we see some more of that in today’s four matches!

Superb goal celebration worthy of last night - https://imgur.com/gallery/t9I2nid 😉

 

Thought the Aussies were a little unlucky there vs France - especially after recovering from the first 5 mins.

Some of the French players going down at the slightest touch… not great to see.

 

Iceland did well vs Argentina - creating chances and come from behind to equalise, 1-1 full-time!

(their 1st ever goal at a World Cup - https://streamable.com/8itjq - Icelandic comms 😃 - 1st ever game, 1st ever point)

The fact is that I never said that. That’s why I won’t reply to Jason, because my message is clear enough. But according to the commentary track of TLJ it seems the Leia scene is something Kennedy wanted so much.

(some people here seem to believe on the contrary that a producer just pays the bills on a set…)

You state I should ask Outbound Flight first re his post… of which I am not addressing or taking issue with - before you will answer… - you then later say you will not answer at all because your ‘message is clear enough’? Obviously this is not the case if I’m asking you for explanations…

Though I can certainly see why you would wish to deflect away from your own post.

Just to be sure of something: each time someone makes even a slight criticism of the new SW producer, the reactions seem quite nervous to defend her. So: is it because she is a she ? I mean, do you believe “we” criticize her because she’s a woman ? And do you defend her because she’s a woman and/or because you believe that “anti-Kennedy” are all misogynist ? It’s important because on the Solo thread Jason made it impossible to talk about the movie with the perspective of the way it was produced by Kennedy (next step: we won’t talk about the screenwriter or the director of a movie because it’s not relevant ?You know, directors and screenwriter don’t take every single decision on a movie either…). I think it’s good to clear that.

No. What I said to you in the Solo thread was after this post by you…

Retcons are the devil to you, ain’t they?

I didn’t like them when Lucas was making the PT. I don’t like them when Disney is ruining what’s left to ruin in this Saga.

That’s a false equivalency at best; you may not have liked them when Lucas was writing the prequels - and you may not like them with the current writers, but it’s got nowt to do with Disney, so stop with the unsubstantiated claims - it also cheapens your viewpoint and those that may share your views on the retcons.
 

Please keep comments in here to the Solo film - this is the ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story — Official Review and Opinions Thread’ afterall - and not the ‘bash Disney’ thread. Thank you.

Isn’t Disney producing the new movies the same way they produce the Marvel or other series they own ? (real question)
Because it’s totally relevant when talking about the new movies to base any analysis about that fact which makes a clear distinction between the Lucas/independant era and the Disney/corporation era of the Saga. It’s so clear at every single level (good or bad, to each is own point of view on that) that I don’t want to stay blind about that and pretend we can talk about Solo or else the same way we were talking about Ep I to VI. SW was a Saga. It’s now a Franchise. You can love it, that’s fine. But you can’t pretend it’s not true and saying Disney has nothing to do with that.

And now we’re no longer talking about retcons…

and you somehow managed to miss this part of my last post when quoting it:-

If you’d like to continue a wider conversation on the franchise (and how it compares to Marvel etc) that’s fine, though it won’t be done in here - the ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story — Official Review and Opinions Thread’. So find a relevant thread to do that - or feel free to PM me to carry the conversation on.

Which is not what you have just claimed, yes? No mention of Kennedy at all by yourself - just another of your throwaway threadcrapping shitposts, then followed up a with pretence that you were having a serious conversation…
 

Your post in here was yet another thread-crapper from you - like yours in the Solo thread linked to above to which you refer, yes? A bit like many of the other occasions you have previously been asked not to, and the multiple warnings given to you for doing just that, followed by your empty claims that you will refrain or reign in the threadcrapping - yet then revert to it after a period of time… once again. That is bad enough.

You then put words into the mouths of others, and basically making false claims - yet again - which is worse. You’ve been told before what would happen if this occurred again, yet here you are.

Enough is finally enough.

 
Perhaps, upon your return you could create a thread to talk about these perceived production / management / quality issues in which you seemingly and repeatedly love to shitpost in so many other threads on here?

Wasn’t expecting that scoreline from the Russians - fair play to them, 5-0!

2 min highlights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDY1N-IJOA8
 

Thought that was harsh on Saudi’s - yet for all the neat technical play and quick feet in the middle of the park they did struggle in both final thirds.

Cheryshev’s 2nd goal and the free-kick after it were really well-taken 😃

Kennedy could have said no to Lucas’s crazy ideas, but keep the good ones.

Yeah we sure have seen that with Leia’s flying sequence and Rey learning the jedi mind trick in the blinck of an eye…

Please explain this (your) perceived responsibility that Kennedy has, that should use her title as President Of Lucasfilm, to overrule the writers and directors of these films - and remove certain scenes you didn’t like, or agree with - or haven’t understood (this especially so with the learning of the Jedi mind trick).

And then explain what context it is to this thread.

If you don’t think Kennedy is a very good President explain why, if you don’t think she’d be a be a good co-lead with Lucas in an imaginary situation where they are both at the head of Lucasfilm and she and George bounce ideas off each other etc, then say why.

I’m half-way through the video and think I’ll be giving the Council Of Geeks more a watch on that - thanks for the heads-up mate 😃
 

This may be of interest (I only watch/listen to a few youtubers) - though found his 7 minute video on clickbait, and this specific incident, to be quite illuminating:-

Cool shed-cinema idea here - it’s a bit of a bunny…

One would only hope that that is either air conditioned/heated or located in a temperate enough climate. I don’t see a wall unit.

Aye, with no windows could get a bit hot in there.

Edit, some more info here - https://www.toriicinemas.com/classic7seater, with a reference to an air extraction fan (though no real details).

Spain sack their manager one day before the World Cup starts:-

https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2018/jun/13/world-cup-2018-news-spain-reaction-lopetegui-real-madrid-live
 

Spain vs Portugal is on Friday…

 

I kinda think Spain didn’t have a choice - what were Madrid and the manager thinking? Timing of statement was stupid!

Not sure I understand why they announced it. I guess for transfer targets to know who the manager was for but you’d think they would have given Spain FA more than 5 mins notice

Good point - seems there may have been a leak or possibly some politics involved. Real Madrid, eh?

Hierro as manager too… experienced and respected as a player, serving his time and earning his dues coming up as a coach - though that’s a big ask, and in far from ideal circumstances!

Wonder if Spanish FA will sue Real for tapping up their manager? And how Real will try and manage the PR side - I imagine a lot of Spain fans won’t be happy with what’s gone on there…

Not that it matters, but the version on there isn’t my Xvid - it seems to be a VHS to DVD.

MSWD is in parts on YouTube but parts have been removed!

Lineker is on YouTube and it’ll do!

If you can point me in any direction for summer with des id be pumped!

Gutted it never came out on DVD.

Moth3r hasn’t been on the site for a while - though I may be able to help you out on this. Check your PMs mate.

from https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/8qo1j8/revenge_of_the_jedi_poster_1982/

Are those the original colours or are they fan made? I’ve seen this poster before, but only as a B&W sketch.

According to this - http://www.starwarsarchives.com/dt_gallery/1983-posters/ - it may well be an official poster - by Drew Struzan.

Some cool posters on that site - be careful - you could spend a few hours there… 😃
