Rogue One * <em>Spoilers</em> * Thread
Time

Mate - you have nothing to feel bad about in the slightest. My post is a just a reminder that there are many differing opinions and points of view - and somewhat jokingly that 'Val may about to be informed as to some of them 😃

The old saying… ‘you can’t please all the people all of the time’? should be attached to a mod’s screen before the day starts 😃

 

Though can we get back to Rogue One, please 😃

You’re in the spoiler thread. Perhaps you don’t need sunglasses but reading glasses.

For a film that hasn’t come out to the general public yet it may have been somewhat of a surprise to see that review with the content included (especially your first line of the spoilers you posted).

It may have been better / a little more considerate to have stated that you have seen film beforehand - then left a fair large blank space between that and the start of your spoilers - to give fellow members a choice.

It’s…a…spoilers…thread.

I didn’t realize its inconsiderate to post spoilers in the spoilers thread.

Lose… the… attitude… soft… lad…

A little heads-up that you had seen the film ahead of it’s general release date - and a few blank spaces between - to give people a choice / option to read it or not - wouldn’t have gone amiss.

That is all. Thank you.

Mark's health
Time

I haven’t seen this Ellen clip or other videos where it may be noticeable - but the man could just have had a cold or a bug - or was tired, or not feeling great?

Also, it’s worth to remembering that on some shows they have guests doing wacky stunts etc - and it’s edited around later, so if it’s not a live show that may be a reason they (anyone) would be a little out of breath.

If the man smokes so be it - it’s his life. Some of the world’s oldest people smoke - some professional athletes smoke - it’s up to them - and really is none of our business.

That said I wish him good health etc etc.

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

It is more difficult than many think mate - they often come back, hiding and biding their time - and also in greater numbers. Though there were seemingly too few mods on there to make a dent - let alone a difference - and it became part of the culture of those boards.

For me, there needed to be enough mods on there to try and change that culture - to effect that change.

Some the racist, sexist, homophobic posts on there were awful - only when the higher-ups at IMDB started to feel the pressure (and the brand was started to be considered as toxic) did they try and seriously address the situation… (they had infected foot - which needed some care, effort and attention - instead they chose to cut the body in two and throw away the lower half).

Production begins in 2019 according to this site called omegaunderground.

It looks as though their information comes from somebody interpreting the name and timing of an upcoming production in a Star Warsy way.

I doubt this is any more reliable than the one source TRH had earlier in the year BUT I REALLY WANT THIS TO BE TRUE!!!

Same here - though I have a feeling it’s some people trying to drive traffic to their sites. There’s been similar articles as to Boba Fett film going ahead too - articles marked with words like ‘confirmed’ - when it’s anything but…

I hope it is true 😃

I’m getting pretty sick and tired of IMDb’s software updates. The people-that-be seem dead-set on making the site as user-unfriendly as possible.

Same here - and like Wook I think there were gems of info in there - yet IMDB chose to lose it all - conveniently ignoring they too were responsible for the shitefest the message boards became in the first place.

For me, the site has nosedived after shutting down the boards too.
 

It wouldn’t have been that difficult to get some strict killjoy / Thought Police mods in to clean up the place… apparently 😃

That’s Mala’s opinion mate - and she’s welcome to it - despite seemingly, and somewhat desperately, trying to portray her opinions as some sort of fact.

Oh, dude, come on, be serious 😃 We’re on a forum where some opinions about some movies are considered facts (such as “PT = crap”, “Disney Wars = gold”) and never realy opened for debating. Dare to say that a PT entry is better than any of the new Disney movies and you’ll get a full crowd repeating you “you’re wrong, you cant’ say that, you’re mad, blablabla”.

As I said you’re welcome to any opinion - and that is welcome and encouraged. I would suggest looking deeper into other members’ opinion of the PT, and recent SW releases - you’ll find a mixed bag of differing opinions. Yet, as the title of the site is what it is - many are more fans of the OT. The ‘you’re wrong, you can’t say’ crowd aren’t as vocal these days - and usually state their reason why regardless (and will be asked to explain further, if not).

Your opinion is valued.

and yet you spent a fair bit of time in Rogue One fan edit threads on a film that in your opinion with ‘No story, no characters, no emotion, nothing (emptiness at its best)’ and ‘in a few years from now people won’t really watch R1 anymore…’ and even contributed to…

Yeah, fanediting is fun and I welcome and respect any attempt to make a bad movie something better and watchable, especially in the SW universe. Some people managed that with TPM and AOTC, so it’s possible with R1 as well. Besides I really do like most of the faneditors around here that happen to be very cool and interesting people, so if I want to contribute I believe I do whatever I want. Or is it against this forum policy ? Would it be better for you that everyone on this forum thinks this exact same thing about each SW entry (each time an “non” orthodox ranking is published the exact same members eract immediately the exact same way… every fucking time, like some kind of “Thought Police”) ? I’m wondering 'cause I can’t remember when you called Frink’s and others excessive behaviors on this matter trolling as well… (edit: hum… maybe that one time recently but that all I can remember)

In case you missed the point, it was you spend a fair bit of time in fan edit thread for a film ‘no story, no characters, no emotion, nothing (emptiness at its best)’ - and other negative opinions you have expressed towards it. Though thank you for the fan edit explanation - it seemed to me a little strange that someone who dislikes something a fair bit would spend time in threads about it - yet cool, nice one.

The ‘Thought Police’, preferring everyone be the same? Against forum policy? non orthodox ranking? Frink’s behaviours? -
What on earth are you talking about?

If you have any issues then please let one of the moderators know via PM - as you’ve always been welcome to do.

(as long as Mala doesn’t carry on repeating this across the site, or is baiting / antagonizing / trolling others with it - especially after being asked to stop doing just that - which I am sure she wouldn’t do…)

Last time I checked I was the one being trolled/provoked every f****** time and you know it, but… anyway 😉

I’ve seen members provoke you - yes, and I’ve asked them to stop - in public or via PM. I’ve also seen you do some provoking too. Yet to the point I was making - I’m sure that’s not going to continue, is it? And you can always contact a mod via PM if you this occurs again - or for any other issues/problems.
 

To the overall point of my post - which you seemingly missed in a rush for a post of indignation towards me in your fanediting paragraph… you are welcome to your opinion and it is valued - though try and keep this oft-repeated opinion from appearing across the board, ie AdyWan’s thread. It’s shame when their threads get sidetracked with shite like this - they contribute a lot, and are cool and interesting people, no? (that’s rhetorical - don’t feel the need to answer).

 

Anyway, back to Rogue One…

2 days for me. that is if the damn snow starts disappearing. We’re snowed in here 😦

More importantly, is the projectionist and cinema staff snowed in?, and does the popcorn machine still work? I’m probably overthinking this - am sure the Govt have got it all in hand and have their top people working on this for Thursday’s release date…

Just saw that a friend of a friend on FB is able to see it tonight because they are a member of a film critics organization… so jealous

You know what to do… find out if the film critic organisation uses photo ID, pop around your friend of a friend’s house, apologise for the laxatives you give him, disconnect his communication devices, and then steal his ID. It’s the only way…

ROTS is a better movie than R1 at every single level. R1 being more recent has better special effects and Edwards being a competent shooter the movie has a few well made shots. But that’s pretty much it. No story, no characters, no emotion, nothing (emptiness at its best). You’re not the first one I know to rank ROTS higher than R1 (in a few years from now people won’t really watch R1 anymore: it’s half nothing with small bits of EU and half a ROTJ remake with boring characters tha get stupid and repetitive death scenes… so really there is nothing interesting in R1 outside some “star wars porn” shots…).

Cobra Kai

Can you contact Mike to see if he has any news on Legacy I’m dying to one day see Legacy on signs in a theatrical rerelease in cinemas.

I don’t know Mike personally, and for whatever reason he no longer discusses the project or answers questions about it online. Before last December, Mike was fairly responsive and usually replied to direct questions, but I’ve seen numerous people ask for updates since then on the legacy site, twitter, vimeo, etc, and he simply ignores them.

To paraphrase Spock from The Wrath of Khan:
“There are two possibilities. Mike is unable to respond. Mike is unwilling to respond”.

Maybe he’s been told to stay silent about it from Disney cause they accepted it and are releasing soon after they possibly buy fox they may rerelease it in cimemas and on blu ray at one point who knows?

But anything is possible…
😀😀😀😀

Indeed, which IF this is the case for which you believe, then you’ll understand why he won’t be telling you (or anyone else) - so you really don’t need his email address or contact info, so why ask for it?

In fact, if you’d read the last few pages of this thread you would have likely understood this already.

Or just gone to http://www.starwarslegacy.com and found the contact info you sought earlier for yourself…

I think the last 10 minutes of Rogue One (minus the last minute) are some of the most rewatchable Star Wars yet.

Yeah 'cause it’s fun but I guess it’s a strong issue that the audience is cheering at Vader slaughtering people… (I like the scene but it’s dumb in the context of this movie; aren’t we supposed to feel empathy for the rebels ?!?).

The audience is cheering at Vader slaughtering the Rebels? Really? I thought the scene was more of helplessness for the Rebels - despite knowing what was likely going to happen to them they carried on and did the best they could - to the last - to fight for what they believed in… and in the hope they could get those plans away…

so glad i have my own opinion of Rogue One to rely on and not you guy’s.
