Well, I guess we’re going to have to accept there will be new Star Wars films coming out long after we’re dead now. 😉
I can see the Onion headlines now. “God confirms Heaven to Screen New Star Wars Movies for Residents.”
I expected Dengar for D. Great stuff, though!
Speaking of YouTube, here’s some good, old-fashioned nightmare fuel!

Candide by Voltaire
Thor Ragnarok
Not sure how to feel about this. It has some great jokes but I feel life if I were to fanedit it, there are many serious moments that would have worked so much better if you took out a stiff joke that already feels very shoved in.
The set design and music in the film were highlights, and I really started to like it more towards the end, but it did feel a bit hollow.
I kinda like that a movie about the prophecied End Of The World As They Know It is a comedy. I mean, I feel like I’d laugh pretty hard if the world was ending.
But yeah, I still just don’t care about Thor himself in these movies, so it’s still rather hollow for me, but at least he’s funny in this one.
At less than 90 pages, I expected Candide by Voltaire to be a quick read. Having read about 20 pages, I don’t think I’m in the right mindset to read this right now. It’s good, but I am struggling to really get into it.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
A CONVERSATION BETWEEN MYSELF AND MARVEL®
INT. MARVEL STUDIOS BOARDROOM
MARVEL: “So we’re making another movie.”
ME: “Okay.”
MARVEL: “It’s kinda like Guardians because it’s a cosmic adventure.”
ME: “Go on.”
MARVEL: “It’ll have lots of synthesizer music.”
ME: “Yes.”
MARVEL: “And sets and costumes that look like they were ripped straight out of the pages of Jack Kirby’s work.”
ME: “O MY GOD, STOP PITCHING, YOU’VE MADE THE SALE!”
I run from the room, grinning from ear to ear. Marvel sighs.
MARVEL: “I probably should have told him that the characters and narrative are rather dull.”
Sounds like 98% of all MCU films I’ve seen to date.
Yeah, but this one has Jeff Goldblum.

Thor: Ragnarok - 8/10
This movie Ragna-rocked. It really brings the thunder with the action, humor, and characters. It’s a banner of what Marvel Studios does well.
Yeah, I’ll see myself out for those puns.
As you should! My eyes are thor from reading them!
The old show was pretty fantastic. I heard that CN was airing it in HD now, so perhaps it will get a Blu-Ray release in the near future, but I could be wrong on both counts.
Also, the theme song!
Yeah, I never saw the picture he posted, but it doesn’t seem quite right to me.
I have a daring, stupid idea for when my character hits level 3 and gets the ability to cast Charm Person in D&D. I’ll make the verbal component the Universal Greeting.

MLP is bad, sure, but at least it’s American. Can’t say the same for anime.

Oh was he? Sorry I didn’t know that, that is terrible.
I think he’s getting him confused with Kevin Spacey.
Singer made all those X-Men movies I dislike.
Except for that one Brett Ratner made. Wait…
My dad grew up in Houston, and naturally is, and raised my siblings and I to be Astros fans. If only they won several years ago before I turned against all professional sports.
Sorry I missed all the fun in that one private message.
An ad for The Last Jedi came on during the world series game and I had to explain the timeline to dad so he’d understand that Rogue One is way before TFA, Rey isn’t Jyn, and Poe isn’t Cassian.
He’s a fan of the porg, though.
Neither the OT nor the EU were butchered to conform to the Holiday Special or include “holidayisms”, so your argument is invalid.
