I really wanted to go into the newest Star Wars movie spoiler free, but people on this site have been carelessly referring to the film’s title outside of the spoiler thread, and I consider the title to be a major spoiler. I also saw someone post the movie poster too, and that’s a huge spoiler. I actually saw part of the trailer on Youtube! Now that I’ve been exposed to so many spoilers I just don’t even see a reason to watch the film.

I…

…this is a joke, right? I mean, it has to be, but just making sure.

Yes.

I’ve seen similar sentiments from people on this forum before.

Every single person on this forum is dumb.

People would have more fun around here if they’d remember this.

Don’t have a picture of Rex in the finale, but here’s him on Rebels on the left and the guy from ROTJ that has been retconned to be Rex on the right:

Oh, cool.

All I know is that Shape of Water looks weird as fuck just based on the clip or two I saw in the brief moments I looked up during the Oscars. The fish man looked ridiculous, not something that should inhabit a serious film.

Agree that costume is very underwhelming.

The costume is great.

I was eager to watch this movie. Then I read it didn’t feel very original and was preachy.

Letting others opinions color your own before you even see what they’re talking about isn’t a good practice.

I find that if I just wait, I lose interest to see most movies in the theater.

Yes, absolutely.

The book was so short, I think I’ll buy the revisited edition before moving on to book 2.
Seems like I may be heading into confusion otherwise.

It’s such a short read that I’d say it’s worth it. There’s also more than just inconsistencies. There’s about thirty extra pages of material to the revised version.

I’ve never read anything by Stephen King (and I don’t really plan to), but wouldn’t the original version be what he intended to be published after originally finishing the book? Like, wouldn’t all that extra material just be essentially filler? It just seems like a Special Edition situation from the POV of someone who’s never read them.

The revised version fits much better within the seven-part story. Supposedly the original book was more of a collection of five loosely connected short stories (so he says) than it was the first entry in one epic novel.

Pretty much my point. He changed the story and made additions to make it align with the sequels, rather than letting people read the book for what it was. Not that it would be nearly as bad as the SE situation, I just thought it sounded like the same sort of jimmerjammering Lucas did.

But The Gunslinger Book One isn’t it’s own story with the next books being it’s sequels. It’s not like Star Wars.

If it’s revised it will have an introduction by Stephen King titled “On Being 19” or something like that. If it doesn’t have that then I’m guessing it’s the original.

Oh, I guess it’s the original then.
What’s been changed?

The original novel places the story in the distant future of our world through various references scattered throughout, which conflicts with later books. The revised version changes these references. It also smooths out some of the rougher prose and peppers in some language from later books, as well as some foreshadowing in the form of the number nineteen, and changing some language at the end that establishes two different antagonists that later became one person using different identities.

An excellent way to tell if it’s the revised or original - if you finish the Tull section of the book and the number nineteen didn’t come up, it’s the original. (If you’re unsure about it, then it didn’t come up, it’s a pretty major part of that sequence in the revised version.)

And like MFM, I haven’t read the original, so I’m just going off what I’ve heard about the changes over the years.

No nineteen.
Would you guys suggest reading the revised edition before continuing the series?

I hope everyone will stop saying “Breath of the Wild has no music” now.
The soundtrack is five discs.
And I want it.

Yes, BOTW does have music, but most of it is not catchy or at all memorable.

That’s totally false.

No it’s not.

Yes, it is.

No it’s not. 😉
