Exactly :D
Unless you'd like disagree with any of the above? ;)

Well, actually I didn't read any of it. *snicker* I just think it is really funny when you write massive posts that prove how magnificent you are that nobody will ever bother reading.

Why should I care if no one reads it, if my post contains my magnificence either way, and not reading it will only lead certain individuals to embarass themselves on more occasions, for my amusement (as you just kinda did)? ;)

Also, why are you so sure that post is about my "magnificence" if you didn't read it? :p

-Stupid Sarcasm. Same as above, just with strawmen (or paraphrases) instead of direct quotes - say something that is supposed to represent the opponent's position, accentuated by phrases like "of course" or "you see" or "not at all!".
The sarcasm encryption mode is the simplest there can be -
sentence"="opposite of said sentence; it's dumb".

Oh, you don't like that? How about "8yr old"?

I still vividly remember these kinds of tactics from 2nd grade mobbing and schoolyard "arguments", from both sides of the fence:

-Taking a random word, or stock expression, of the opponent, and repeating it with an OTT "mocking" voice and face expression.
It doesn't have to be actually risible, or snobby, or anything, to be spoofed as if it were.
-Stupid Sarcasm. Same as above, just with strawmen (or paraphrases) instead of direct quotes - say something that is supposed to represent the opponent's position, accentuated by phrases like "of course" or "you see" or "not at all!".
The sarcasm encryption mode is the simplest there can be - "sentence"="opposite of said sentence; it's dumb".
-Repeating the same identical insults or dismissive remarks when they don't fire the first time. Or the second time. Or the third.

So if you have any interest in not coming off as an 8 year old child or stereotypical blonde bimbo (who is mad and angry), watch out for those dead giveaways.
Seen this kind from you guys quite a bit in the recent weeks, and it's always pretty damn hilarious :D

PS: Why the unnecessary and distracting quotation marks?

More like jabbing.

I may be sometimes using quotation marks where not needed, but it's (almost?) always with the right purpose, i.e. names/"mention non-error", dissociation, mockery.

You just put completely random words in quotes and italics, convinced that it somehow makes for a clever parody - and end up looking like a fool for that.

How would you have done ROTJ?
Time

Awesome ideas!

Only thing I'd disagree with, is this part:

Only when Luke speaks to Yoda it is revealed that Luke only made the rescue plan so convolted was to impress leia with his new found Jedi prowess. Luke realizes he has done wrong after Yoda has died.


Or how about making the plan less convoluted :D


I've always thought it was a bit too much... first the droids walk in... then Leia with Chewbacca... then Luke... and Lando was there all along.
Why didn't... he just free Han before all that? Why didn't Leia infiltrate the palace in her mask first if they needed the romantic scene?

When googling for Alan Cumming (he's the guy who played the Nightcrawler in X2, for those unfamiliar), I've noticed something strange: almost every photograph reminded me of some other actor/celebrity!

So here a few examples:

 

Robert de Niro










Al Pacino








Eric Idle
:




A bit like Edward Norton:


A bit like Ray Park:





Christopher Lee:







Vasili Livanov (Russian actor, played Sherlock Holmes):







Dustin Hoffman:





Christopher Hitchens:








Marilyn Manson:








Also a bit like Dustin Hoffman, again:



But YMMV on that one :)

Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)

Well, the only thing I'd like to "question" right now is the fucking sense of your comment.
What the ice cold hell was that about?

PS: I'm not going after the Blu-Ray.
And if you misuse the word opinion (or trolling) HERE, in a conversation with ME, while standing on top of a thunderous mountain berating me for my arrogance, you get the bash hammer. If that rubs you the wrong way, too bad.

That's not a living... how about this, in all seriousness and curiosity, how old are you?

I'm 28 years old and no I don't work in the AV industry. I just follow lots of blu-ray  / dvd news and tech news as well so overall I'm a tech geek and I want to learn more about  technology in all forms and I like to learn about films and how they where made and the  technology that goes into them and of course I do watch any films.

So in other words, you're unemployed?
