PT fans are not extinct, and they’ve actually somewhat increased in number since TFA.

Right before TFA came out, parts of the internet were filled with pre-teens/young teens who either hadn’t seen SW before or just hadn’t in many years and watched them all before the next movie.

Before long, all of them became fans of all of the movies, PT included, and they started making posts on Tumblr and other places about “shipping” characters (mostly PT for some reason).

It’s a bizzare thing. I expected TFA to bring new OT fans, but didn’t expect new PT fans to spring up with them.

Prayer requests, Anyone?

I have this constant nagging fear that no one will ever love me and that I’m cursed to be alone for the rest of my life. It’s totally irrational but it lingers in my mind regardless.

So yeah… pray for that to go away.

Sure thing 😄. Don’t worry, God loves you no matter what.

That’s not the kind of love I was referring to, but thanks. I should’ve specified that I meant romantic love. My bad.

Batman vs Superman: DOJ thread? (contains spoilers)
Time

Here are some things I’d do in the edit I’ll never get around to:

Remove Thomas Wayne swinging at Joe Chill

Remove bats making Bruce fly in dream

Cut some of Lex Jr.'s more ridiculous moments (Granny’s Peach Tea, general twitchyness)

Remove the Flash’s dream(?) message from the future

Trim down some blatant JL setup (cut away before videos are clicked on)

Remove weird slo-mo shot of Superman standing still rather than trying to find survivors in burning building

Remove some cameos of real people

Try to change the reason (if possible) for the titular fight to end (they stopped fighting because their moms have the same first names? Really?)

Remove Doomsday and unearned Death of Superman pseudo-adaptation entirely, Lex gets arrested for his crimes after Bats and Supes settle their differences.

Completely Random Thoughts

I can’t sleep. At all. Becoming somewhat paranoid now. I feel like something is very wrong, both with myself and with my surroundings. I walked all around this hotel room I’m in, peeked out the door, looked out the window, and I can’t find anything more than slightly odd. Nothing appears wrong, but something feels very wrong…

I think I’m hearing things though. Sounds that I either haven’t noticed before or didn’t exist before. Or don’t exist.

I hate it when people use “dog ears”! Why do you people have to fold the corner?! Why can’t you use a bookmark?!

This is among one of my deepest pet-peeves…for it speaks not only to the laziness of the reader, but also to their carelessness towards undamaged property…how difficult is it truly to find even a small piece of paper to mark one’s place?

Oh my word, YES!

Personally, I also hate it when people break the spine of a pristine book. I always go to the effort not to break the spine of a book so as to keep it in as pristine a condition as possible. Paperbacks don’t last very long, anyway: there’s no need to hasten its disintegration along.

Anytime I accidentally break the spine, I feel a deep sense of sadness and regret.

This reminds me of a time when I let a friend borrow a comic book and when I got it back, THE COVER WAS TOTALLY DETACHED!!!

He then claimed that it wasn’t his fault and that I tried to frame him. Yeah, I would totally tear the cover off my own comic.

In no universe is The Holiday Special better than the prequels. The prequels aren’t very good, but The Holiday Special is just the worst. At least the prequels had a story, as botched as it is.

Wrong. The Holiday Special has some fun moments, the PT has some “that’s kinda cool I guess” moments at best. I’ll take Han making a Stormtrooper fall off a balcony over just about any PT scene any day.

Ranking the Superman films

I didn’t care much for the cameos of real people. They took me right out of the movie. I mean, Nancy Grace in a comic book movie?! Ugh.

Im skeptical of anything R rated with Superman in it, it just feels wrong. And I don’t think the extended cut would fix the ending, which is my biggest complaint. Maybe it’ll have some good material that someone could use in a fan edit.

Also, apparently Snyder wanted Joker and/or Riddler in the movie and couldn’t have them. So he spliced those two together and called him Lex Luthor. 😒
