The petition to cordially invite Bingowings to return to OT...

Besides, this is your bar; I am merely passing through...

Its not my bar, it belongs to Jay.   This place for me is kind of like what the Cheers bar is for Norm.

 Seeing as you only post in Off-Topic, that's like saying all Norm ever did at Cheers was pop in to use the restroom and leave.

I don't mean to be insulting or anything, but there is much more to this forum than Off-Topic and it seems strange that one who contributes to the entire forum (like Norm at Cheers) is being chased away by someone who uses such a small part of the site (like the restroom analogy).

It seems to me that there is enough room for us all here and if someone disagrees, then that person should be the one to go.

Your DVD Collection

I bought my first Blu-ray today -- The Evil Dead (1981).

This particular release didn't come with any bonus features, unfortunately, but it only cost $9.99 (not including taxes), so I'm not complaining.

 It's a nice looking transfer.
Also undoes some of the SE shit from the DVDs (digital zoom on Cheryl and the shot of the lightning striking the tree was cut out), but also introduces some new SE shit (visible crew members painted out).
Does the version you have feature the original 1.33:1 ratio or the horribly cropped 1.85:1?
Or both?!

I would  be wary of disclosing any mental illnesses you might have on this (or any) forum.  Not going to name names, but I can clearly picture certain members, if you post anything they don't like, responding with things like "This coming from somebody with _______", and that would get really irritating.

 I was gonna say that I don't think we have anyone around here who would act like that. But then as the reply page was loading, I thought of one who might.

Still, especially compared to most parts of the interwebs, we seem to have a community of decent folks.

Your first reaction to Hayden is ROTJ

And I replied a hundred times with a simple explanation:

the Force CANNOT guess how a 43 year old Anakin would have looked without burns and wounds.

 Why? Who says? How come? What's stopping it?
His head was hardly even burned!
Or, why couldn't he still have his scars? Obi-Wan and Yoda still have the effects of old age, why does Anakin have to show up looking perfect when he's the only one of the three to have to be redeemed from his horrible deeds?

This is classic GL apologist BS.

Has there ever been a good comedy sequel?

Yeah, I can't even make it one day without being forced to watch Kevin Smith fans reenact his films.
Oh, wait... Never mind. That's never happened to anybody...

I know what ya mean though. Like you said, everybody has some film/tv series, musical artist, ect. that they wish would stop doing what they do.
But I usually find it easy to just ignore things I'm not a fan of.
