I was really shocked at how much they wrapped up in "... VS The Push Tape".  All of that AND a Jeffster performance... made it feel like a Season Finalé.

The Fifth Element.

I love this movie.

Great effects, acting, story, EVERYTHING! I love it. Almost perfect in my eyes.

Agreed 100%

Oh and the most recent movie(s) I have seen are Tron and Tron Legacy.

Tron was very primitive (shows us how much we've progressed in terms of CGI), hated it the first time I watched it but loved it the second. Still, Tron grows on you and Jeff Bridges is awesome. It was a milestone of cinema: one of the pioneers of CGI.

Tron Legacy was cheesy, probably the start of a big franchise. Still, I enjoyed it. It was a good popcorn flick and good enough to make me see it again in IMAX 3D. Of course, the effects were good, and the story wasn't too bad. All in all, a relatively worthy (though somewhat disconnected) sequel to Tron. I doubt that 3 will be as good.

I was just thinking how I was on furlough from OT.com when I saw Tr2n- therefore I never discussed it here.  I actually really liked it.  I have no idea where the "no story" people come from.  I thought it had story in spades.

I find I appreciate Tron much more now as an adult than I did as a kid.  It's perhaps 1 part nostalgia and 1 part knowing a lot more about computers than I really did at the time.

Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast-PC-stunning.

Dark Forces IV: Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy-PC-disappointing.

Didn't you play "Dark Forces V: Jedi Knight IV: Jedi Outcast III: Jedi Academy II: Modern Warfare?"

NO ONE CARES WHO'S ON YOUR IGNORE LIST.

If this were true, there wouldn't be a lengthy off-topic thread on the subject.  Anyway, I always interpreted ignore announcements as a polite way to say "this guy is acting like a dick."

 

I care.

Dang, you beat me to it.

Who's ignore list are we talking about now?

Who is an ignore list, now?  Or did you mean Whose ignore list...?

IGNORE!

Just saw this on slickdeals.  Thought some people here might want to know.

 Woo-hoo!

Wait, you can get rifftrax from Netflix?

I just saw the Bridestone tires one.  I thought that one had some laughs.

BRILLIANT!!!

Yes, thank you twister.  I think.  Maybe I should have just considered it a mixed blessing.  ;)

I've heard it's really good with d-box.  But watching someone else enjoy d-box isn't quite as fun.  Unless it's your wife and the smile on her face means she's considering let you buy one..

*Oh snap!*

Thanks for the perspective, Ash.  My kids are too young for me to see them as Andy...

And I never grew up and got rid of my toys.  So...

True.

Good point.

Is there ever a visual indication in the OT of shields being hit?  Or an otherwise direct hit being "deflected"?

I just wish I knew what it was about.  (IE breaking content in first post.)

I think it's time to make Lego: Halo a reality.

Are there shields in Star Wars?  It certainly seems so.  But it seems, according to the movies, that no fighter craft actually have them, right?

I know X-Wing the game "canonized" the "X-Wings have shields, TIEs don't"  (Because sometimes you feel like a shield- sometimes you don't.)

Han Solo likes to "angle his deflector shields" right?  So I presume the MF has shields.  Is it the smallest thing in the OT to have shields?

Thanks a tonne, 005!

Wait, how long do I have to wait for the ESB:R facts to compile.  It's been 10 minutes already!

Oh snap!

Welcome to the site, Matt.

Hope you expand your ideas and can get back to us.

Just one reminder:

so that means we would start more than 32 years before ANH

Remember that Luke/Leia are appx 18 when ANH starts.  So, unless biology is different in the Star Wars universe, starting 32 years before ANH means you'll probably have to end around 19 years before ANH.  Does your story cover 13 years?  If not, you may want to adjust your times and ages to accomodate.

no Binks (although I do like him),

And I'm going to pretend I didn't read that so I don't have to hold that against you.  ;)

Soo... what other commercials were worth watching?

Pirates 4 trailer?

Yep.  Me too.  Even the parts where he's completely annoying... I still enjoy his character for some reason.

I can't defend it, but that's my reaction to it.

He'd have to ask my wife, "Can you quote me so he can hear what I said?"

I see xhonzi has entered the thread again....

*rubbing hands together*

Wow, to take a weekend off and then to come back to all of this.

My only question is this: Why is this so personal to you, twooffour?  You seem to be very upset about.  I've read your other posts around the forum and you seem to mostly be a pretty sensible guy.  Why does this subject (Raising my kids in a PT free environment) elicit such angst from you?

For the record, if I hadn't been reading and enjoying a lot of whatelse you'd have to say, your conduct in this thread would cause me to put you on ignore.  You seem to be very... bothersome.

Wait, have you seen Inception?

 FAIL.

JW is my favourite Star Wars composer!  Alongside Joel McNeely, anyways.
