Meh, he’s a cutie. Annoying and stupid, but not totally devoid of looks.
Most people can’t see it and I don’t blame em. Once you see Ric, your standards suddenly go sky high.
Dek has good hair and a great jacket.
- What’s an Oppo?
I have a feeling I’ll be just fine.
Can’t tell if that’s supposed to be Thriller or Teen Wolf.
Shame on you.
^Yes! That’s a fantastic documentary!

Relax.
JEDIT- this was better before Possessed’s edit.
*SIGH*
TFA is on TBS and TNT at the same time, only one started a bit earlier. Flipping back and forth between them is weird. Like when It’s a Wonderful Life was on multiple channels at once.
Did the TBS airing run at double-time like the rest of their programming?
Yeah, but I think that that’s exactly what some fans don’t want. I became a Star Wars fan around 2007, and one of the things I always thought was special about Star Wars was that it was over. 6 movies and that’s it. The Clone Wars TV series and the EU were a treat, but the big thing was done. And I thought it was gorgeous, from AotC to TESB. And I loved the fact that it was over, and it was going to be there forever as a complete story. Much like The Beatles broke up and that was it. The Anthology albuns and documentary are treats. But the big thing is done. It ended in 1969 much like SW ended in 2005 (or so I thought).
So I for example am not fond at all of the idea of MCUing or 007ing the SWU.
I like this post.
DuracellEnergizer, you obviously didn’t look at those websites too thoroughly or maybe you were just being ‘selective’ with what you chose to copy/paste. Under the concise definitions on the sites you linked there are examples of usage of the word apologist - shall we take a look?
“Her question reflected a conventional Republican gripe, namely that the State Department is a cooing dovecote, full of apologists for Abroad.”
“The most serious native challenge to liberalism, made by the slaveholding oligarchy of the Old South, was crushed on the battlefield, and, despite the efforts of an ever-dwindling number of apologists, morally anathematized.”
“Its condemnation of America in general and the war in Iraq in particular meant that it became an apologist for totalitarian regimes.”
“The lives of American and British troops should not have been risked to rescue these apologists for terror.”
“English youth have been so educated time out of mind, and we have hundreds of thousands of apologists and admirers of injustice, misery, and brutality, as perpetrated among children.”
And on the Oxford English Dictionary page, the most respected of all dictionary sites, there are 15 given examples of how you would use the word apologist. Every single one has a negative connotation. Every one. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/apologist
Lets take a look!
‘The Soviet Union’s ideology had many adherents and apologists throughout the West.’
‘Obviously there have been, and will be, apologists who want to defend or explain away the embarrassing elements.’
‘Those are my passions and, not infrequently, their proponents and apologists will be my targets.’
‘Religious apologists have tended to argue from authority to justify their beliefs, often quoting from texts such as the Bible.’
‘I’m suggesting simply that they make their presence felt in ways that draw the distinction between themselves and the apologists.’
‘Her alibi, offered by her apologists, is that she was starved of affection - a euphemism for sex.’
‘Nor do the apologists for this failure carry conviction.’
‘Studies in English were produced either by apologists, sensationalists or conspiracy theorists.’
‘The apologists have argued that drugs were not involved in his death.’
‘But it was the nature of the attacks from the political party, its apologists and some journalists that interested me most.’
‘But isn’t an apologist for racism who uses racist arguments a racist?’
‘Only those such as government spokesmen and official apologists for the war would deny this.’
‘My job here is not to be an apologist, but technology can’t always save us from significant changes in human nature.’
‘The only kinds of writers excluded were supporters and apologists of totalitarianism.’
‘There is, of course, no need to imagine people who would make such claims: they were Nazis and their apologists.’
‘I do not intend to get into an argument with an apologist for mass murder such as yourself.’
‘To make a proper argument or ‘apology’ for Christianity, the apologist must speak in the same language as his hearer.’Case closed gentlemen.

Who totally doesn’t stink of smug self-satisfaction.
And this one, too.
No you didn’t work them into the story you just tacked them on artlessly.
Doors fan.
OOF! That seems unnecessarily rough.
I’m about to hit the hay right in the mouth.
Post abandoned.
^ I always picture you to look like that guy. First impressions I guess.
Also, Frink looks like the professor from the Simpsons and Bingowings looks like Roger Delgado.
I wish I didn’t stutter on every word around strangers.
I know it’s frustrating for the stuttering speaker, but it can be very charming to the listener.
Unless it’s literally every word… If that’s the case, that’s rough, man. Maybe think about seeing some kind of a speaking coach? I’m sure there’s the equivalent of such a thing.
I only carried over a few basic ideas from the Defeminized edit
Where I quit reading.
I should’ve stopped at the thread title.
Ok, I have enough. I don’t how much I am at fault(I am sure some), I don’t know how much others are at fault(I am also sure some), but I have had it with this place. So I’m done for now. I might talk in pm with a few people but that is it.
I am sure this will make some very happy. bye.
What? Why?
Close friends have left, remaining friends have turned against him, and a certain mod sucks.
That’s his perspective, anyway.
Well, at least he brought this up and hashed it out in public conversation, like an adult, instead of complaining in private and then blowing up in public, like a child.

Rob Zombie shows love for the OT and hate for the PT in this interview (link starts at the lead in to that conversation)
Was filmed just before TFA was released.
Best bits-
Rob Zombie said:
It was fun when it was Peter Mayhew in the Chewbacca costume- So the logic is then “Well, if you liked that, here’s a thousand CGI wookiees running over a hill!” No, That’s just stupid.
You’ll notice if you watch, like, Phantom Menace, if you dare, you have Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman… but in those movies, they’re all shitty because they’re always on a green screen and it looks horrible. You can feel that the actors have nothing to grasp onto.
I was excited by Star Wars in 1977. Not anymore.
(after which presumably one of you will make a composite picture of these guys that will look just like me)
Uhh, here’s an artist’s approximation of what you look like…
If you squint (or maybe if you’re just using your phone), that looks like a mix of Obama and Dubbleya.
“Play it again, 5am.”
Sorry for your sleeping troubles, but this is a high-quality post.
Is Paja’s name pronounced “pa-ha” or “pa-jah?”
Good question. I’ve been using the second one.
It would not be allowed in any way shape or form a “college for men”.
Wrong. I’m pretty sure there are boarding schools for boys.
I am surprised any boarding schools for boys aren’t sued out of existence.
And why is that? They are not discriminatory for sexist reasons.
tell that to feminists groups.
Nobody needs to do that because feminists groups aren’t trying to shut down boarding schools.
I’ve got some interest in option #1.
Ah. I took that as sarcasm.
I still do. Could be wrong.
I don’t know where you’ve gotten the idea that Duracell has seen TLJ.
