That's no excuse not to finish Tom Send a noteboard - 23/04/2017 12:40:09 AM

I believe that there are only two or three movies in my entire life that I haven't watched all the way through to the end. I'm sure there was a third one but I forget what it even was. The other two are:

  1. Natural Born Killers - I walked out of the movie theatre when the second cartoon sequence began, because the entire thing was just terrible at a level that movies rarely are.

  2. Mamma Mia - I vomited, and not just in my mouth, at the first song. The actors were so bad at singing and the story line was so abysmal in a way even most chick flicks aren't (I sat through Fried Green Tomatoes, Prince of Tides, My Best Friend's Wedding, Beaches, and the English Patient, to name a few horrendously bad movies in that genre, but never considered not finishing them). When the second song started I just said, "This is an abomination in the eyes of God and men and should never have been made".

If you're honestly telling me Return of the Jedi was so bad it didn't deserve to be finished, you're not just not being nostalgic. You're just not giving the movie a chance.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

What do you give the odds of Luke being alive at the end? *NM* random thoughts - 16/04/2017 02:02:34 PM 318 Views
Very slim chance of being "alive".....much better chance..... Anonymous2000 - 16/04/2017 02:14:58 PM 542 Views

I'm lukewarm about this (pun intended) Tom - 21/04/2017 05:18:20 PM 630 Views
DAMN, YOU CRAZY! Anonymous2000 - 21/04/2017 07:44:22 PM 616 Views
So you enjoyed the weak characters are was it just the pretty? *NM* random thoughts - 25/04/2017 03:40:19 AM 455 Views
Funny story... (Rogue One spoiler alert, I suppose, for what it's worth) Legolas - 21/04/2017 08:22:26 PM 597 Views
Go back and finish RotJ. Good lord. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2017 12:41:54 AM 298 Views
Give me a reason to? *NM* Legolas - 22/04/2017 06:41:06 PM 288 Views
So that your path to the Dark Side can be aerocontrols - 22/04/2017 06:50:12 PM 563 Views
It is significantly better than III. V > IV > FA > VII > VI > III > I > Christmas Special > II. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2017 08:38:24 PM 298 Views
Vader's redemption is sweet. And like aero said, fully armed and operational battlestations. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2017 08:37:17 PM 283 Views
I was given a suggestion on order of watching Tom - 23/04/2017 12:34:54 AM 602 Views
Machete order. I personally think release date is best, but that's just me. Machete is fine. Ghavrel - 24/04/2017 04:25:03 AM 548 Views

What Ghavrel said. What retard doesn't finish Return of the Jedi? *NM* Tom - 22/04/2017 04:01:39 PM 307 Views
I believe you just answered that question in your previous post... Legolas - 22/04/2017 06:59:11 PM 581 Views
That's no excuse not to finish Tom - 23/04/2017 12:40:09 AM 506 Views
I'm not saying I'd rank it among the worst movies I've seen, no. Legolas - 23/04/2017 10:10:10 PM 524 Views

C3P0 and bigotry? You need to explain that one to me! I understand the whining about Jar-Jar. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 22/04/2017 05:10:58 PM 338 Views
Lucas: aerocontrols - 22/04/2017 05:33:53 PM 503 Views
His counterpart, R2D2, redeems the character. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2017 08:39:31 PM 258 Views
Or they can give R2 a voicebox *NM* aerocontrols - 22/04/2017 09:42:22 PM 293 Views
Okay, firstly, how dare you *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2017 11:25:01 PM 340 Views
???... easily? *NM* aerocontrols - 23/04/2017 12:01:20 AM 307 Views
Our phones already talk but it's too hard for them to have talking Astromech droids? *NM* Tom - 24/04/2017 12:02:45 AM 336 Views
He does talk aerocontrols - 24/04/2017 02:05:34 AM 503 Views
Because it would be terrible. That's why it's not installed. Ghavrel - 24/04/2017 04:29:28 AM 516 Views
I think it mostly makes sense aerocontrols - 24/04/2017 02:15:18 PM 555 Views
Yeah, but characters' understanding of R2 seems to ebb and flow. Doesn't Obi-wan in the prequels? *NM* Ghavrel - 24/04/2017 04:37:58 PM 306 Views
Maybe? Chewie has the same problem, I think. *NM* aerocontrols - 24/04/2017 04:43:55 PM 342 Views
PAUL. That's not funny, that's a travesty. nossy - 22/04/2017 08:44:34 PM 519 Views
The reactions to it certainly are funny. Legolas - 23/04/2017 12:20:53 AM 516 Views
DROP EVERYTHING *NM* aerocontrols - 23/04/2017 12:47:58 AM 287 Views
*rips up your​ list; makes new one* *NM* nossy - 24/04/2017 09:34:56 AM 297 Views
What else is on the new one? *NM* Legolas - 24/04/2017 05:43:51 PM 321 Views
Just make sure you cover the basics aerocontrols - 24/04/2017 05:50:44 PM 686 Views
ROTJ is the fourth best in the sites but it is a big drop from IV V and 3.5 *NM* random thoughts - 25/04/2017 03:42:52 AM 468 Views
I agree with everything you said random thoughts - 25/04/2017 03:39:06 AM 734 Views
I'm indifferent Larry - 25/04/2017 01:51:43 AM 921 Views
The movie will probably be fine. The trailer wasn't that enticing though. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 30/04/2017 03:21:24 PM 441 Views
