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 530 Views
Very slim chance of being "alive".....much better chance..... Anonymous2000 - 16/04/2017 02:14:58 PM 919 Views

I'm lukewarm about this (pun intended) Tom - 21/04/2017 05:18:20 PM 1014 Views
DAMN, YOU CRAZY! Anonymous2000 - 21/04/2017 07:44:22 PM 1022 Views
So you enjoyed the weak characters are was it just the pretty? *NM* random thoughts - 25/04/2017 03:40:19 AM 703 Views
Funny story... (Rogue One spoiler alert, I suppose, for what it's worth) Legolas - 21/04/2017 08:22:26 PM 1006 Views
Go back and finish RotJ. Good lord. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2017 12:41:54 AM 495 Views
Give me a reason to? *NM* Legolas - 22/04/2017 06:41:06 PM 542 Views
So that your path to the Dark Side can be aerocontrols - 22/04/2017 06:50:12 PM 916 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 496 Views
Vader's redemption is sweet. And like aero said, fully armed and operational battlestations. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2017 08:37:17 PM 461 Views
I was given a suggestion on order of watching Tom - 23/04/2017 12:34:54 AM 975 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 925 Views

What Ghavrel said. What retard doesn't finish Return of the Jedi? *NM* Tom - 22/04/2017 04:01:39 PM 514 Views
I believe you just answered that question in your previous post... Legolas - 22/04/2017 06:59:11 PM 979 Views
That's no excuse not to finish Tom - 23/04/2017 12:40:09 AM 860 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 892 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 543 Views
Lucas: aerocontrols - 22/04/2017 05:33:53 PM 855 Views
His counterpart, R2D2, redeems the character. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2017 08:39:31 PM 469 Views
Or they can give R2 a voicebox *NM* aerocontrols - 22/04/2017 09:42:22 PM 508 Views
Okay, firstly, how dare you *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2017 11:25:01 PM 552 Views
???... easily? *NM* aerocontrols - 23/04/2017 12:01:20 AM 511 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 553 Views
He does talk aerocontrols - 24/04/2017 02:05:34 AM 877 Views
Because it would be terrible. That's why it's not installed. Ghavrel - 24/04/2017 04:29:28 AM 893 Views
I think it mostly makes sense aerocontrols - 24/04/2017 02:15:18 PM 918 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 528 Views
Maybe? Chewie has the same problem, I think. *NM* aerocontrols - 24/04/2017 04:43:55 PM 546 Views
PAUL. That's not funny, that's a travesty. nossy - 22/04/2017 08:44:34 PM 916 Views
The reactions to it certainly are funny. Legolas - 23/04/2017 12:20:53 AM 889 Views
DROP EVERYTHING *NM* aerocontrols - 23/04/2017 12:47:58 AM 474 Views
*rips up your​ list; makes new one* *NM* nossy - 24/04/2017 09:34:56 AM 527 Views
What else is on the new one? *NM* Legolas - 24/04/2017 05:43:51 PM 532 Views
Just make sure you cover the basics aerocontrols - 24/04/2017 05:50:44 PM 1076 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 738 Views
I agree with everything you said random thoughts - 25/04/2017 03:39:06 AM 1232 Views
I'm indifferent Larry - 25/04/2017 01:51:43 AM 1416 Views
The movie will probably be fine. The trailer wasn't that enticing though. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 30/04/2017 03:21:24 PM 677 Views
