I didnt know about the choose your own adventure thing. That sounds awesome!

It wasn't as good as it might sound. They didn't reshoot anything to match your choices, besides an extra death scene, so if you don't follow the order the movie actually goes in it kind of just ends and you try again.

Well if I'm in the first 5 minutes of a porno then that really changes everything doesn't it.

Why does everyone hate the Simpsons now? its not that bad. Its not Season 3-10 levels ofexcellent but its still very watchable. Its gone from like a 9/10 to like a 6.5 or 7/10. Its still very consistently solid.

Its had nowhere near the fall of something like, Family Guy has.

Its not 6 fire emblem characters. I'm disappointed

whats one meaningful statement that wasnt a rehash of something someone better already said?

serious question cause I dont watch the guy and never have but I also never see anyone discuss his content. Just discuss the person himself and how unfairly hes treated.

so heres the chance to turn someone. Sell me on one of his contributions.

still waiting for one of his supporters to answer this.

I'm no supporter, but most of what he does is just try to address like Psych 101 terms and like the first steps to try and solve an issue if you have like depression or feel your life is lacking or whatever. But he does a solid job of addressing the concept to an audience that otherwise wouldn't be interested in it.

That's ignoring that he kind of fans the flames of alt-right and more or less pushes a lot of conservative propaganda. He clearly knows what he's doing, because a lot of his own papers are about what influences conservative ideology, and as a spoiler, its not usually "facts and reasoning"

Old kinda racist looney tunes cartoons I think dealt with this the best way. They basically put a disclaimer in front saying that these cartoons reference opinions and prejudices that were commonplace for this point in time. They were bad then and are bad now, but we are presenting them as they were because trying to ignore these prejudices would be akin to claiming that they never existed.

Jurassic Park 3 is really the only option here.

The Lost World keeps some of the charm from the original, despite not quite keeping up the same quality. Decent, but nothing special.

Jurassic World followed the spirit of the book being basically a B-list horror movie that belongs on the syfy channel, but was big budget and could be a lot of fun if you aren't expecting big things from it.

Fallen Kingdom had a lot of problems, but had some good ideas that just weren't really executed well. It also feels the same way of "campy over the top jargon" as the book and JW1.

JP3 was just awful.

Personally, I see his side on the matter. She did shame a belt he tried do hard to legitimize.

elaborate?

He's an executive and he can't talk that way about an employee. That's way more problematic than being pissy about a belt someone did an adult thing with.

Don't most of the Star Wars books kinda suck? Like there are a handful of really good ones, but most of them aren't particularly good.

I want to say I'd enjoy a Hulk film now, but Marvel has kind of taken away all the parts that I. actually liked about the character.

Hell, as of Endgame, there's literally nothing special about him aside from being like, extra big for an average person

Except thats the very definition of censorship. You can read/listen to my views, but I wont allow you to express yours! Were it a forum run by a government entity, this would violate the first amendment.

Now if theyre actually using hate speech and calling for genocide of certain groups then the ban is certainly warranted. Being supportive of Trump and the drone strike that killed a known terrorist hardly falls under either.

I mean, T_D has done all of that a fair bit. Supporting Trump is hardly the most offensive thing that goes on there. You literally can't get to the subreddit without directly searching for it anymore. You can disagree with the mod's specific reasoning, but its also a miracle reddit hasn't totally banned them yet.

I'm in Canada, so I can't say for certain, but in the Canadian charter of rights and Freedoms (basically our constitution) the first thing in it says "if you use your rights to hurt others rights, you don't get those rights" and I'm sure the constitution has something similar within it.

So if a person using their free speech to spread hate and hurt other groups takes away the victim's right to safety or to not be discriminated against, the second person's rights to safety are more important, and the first person loses their right to free speech.

It's not "you can't express your opinion because I disagree" its "you can't express your opinion because your opinion is hateful and dangerous towards other people and their right to safety is more important"

So banning people for having a political ideology...yeah not fascist at all. /s

Not surprised CEmen are supportive...

A political ideology thats expressly bigoted and causes damage to minority groups, makes sense to me. And I mean, banning on reddit means you just can't post, they can still see whatever topics they want to. There's barely any censorship going on here.

"You're the real nazis! for not letting me be a nazi!"

I just enjoy all of them, because a fantasy movie about space wizards really shouldn't get this much hate.

Yeah I remember reading something about that. Disney or whatever released something saying a lot of the ST was actually George Lucas' idea.

Lucas' idea was something akin to "Luke puts himself into self imposed exile until a new (female) student comes to try and get him to come back. He initially refuses, but ultimately helps save the day for the new protagonist". And everyone hated it.

le family guy sucks XD take my karma

I mean it does. Family guy makes jokes themselves about how they aren't funny anymore, or how their demographic is 13 year olds who grew up in the 1980s

I don't know if the "he has money" argument is a good idea. Didn't Hilary outspend Trump and still lose? Especially since Bloomberg sucks and everyone knows it, just having a lot of money probably won't do anything of value here.

If someone like Bernie can't win against Trump, nobody can.

Nine

Trying to get extra attention for when she becomes the Impact WHC tomorrow.

The fact that who tf Tom Stoyer is gets on and not Andrew Yang makes me feel like shenanigans are afoot.

But I'm not even American so barely following this, so it might be legit but idk Yang has had a lot of things supposedly work against him in his campaign. Wasn't there accusations that the debates were cutting his mic so he couldn't speak more?

I liked it well enough. It had some problems but whatever, it wasn't that bad. Wish Rose got more screen time instead of just being "rebel who gets to say stuff" but ehh.

AsucaHayashi posted...

-i'm probably gonna be alone in this but i thought they should have doubled down on finn and rose's romance(while still keeping her screen time unchanged in RoS) instead of shoehorning in a new and more "relatable(wink.emoji)" character for finn. apparently a novel explains why finn and rose never happened but i'm only interested in the movie stuff so.. -remember the kid with the broom at the end of TLJ? what a great impact he had in this one that made him worthy of closing out the last movie with xd

The kid at TLJ wasn't supposed to be an important character. IT just showed that despite the fact the resistance had basically fallen, there was still hope to stop the new space-Nazis.

And I agree with Rose. She should have at least done something after being such an important character in TLJ, but she was just demoted to "Rebel who gets lines" with Dominic Monaghan.

I enjoyed it enough when I watched it. Wasn't as good as the first but I didn't think it was that bad.

I haven't seen it since it came out though, so I might be wrong here.

Shame all that was effort was wasted on a terrible controller.
Yes I said it and i'm being brutally honest about that as a Gamecube owner.

It was a big step up from the N64 trashfire tho

What if its the Cats from Cats?

Isn't this how Star Wars works in general? "Oh no this new Star Wars is the worst thing to ever come out and totally ruined my childhood" and then the next one comes out and suddenly that one was one of the good ones and the new Star Wars movie can't compare to what was clearly going well beforehand.

Its just Star Wars has a super-toxic fanbase.

I mean, that sounds better than Vince has an illegitimate son, and his limo explosion was a cry for attention

The right can't meme. But yep, only 11 episodes. I can tell. chuckled at "Miss USA's talent is putting up a 700 foot wall with Miss Mexico" although I think that was supposed to be like a joke at Mexicans instead of xenophobia. 7 minutes of cringe tho.

Also, This hour has 22 minutes came out in like 1993, conservative comedy can't even make up a unique name for their **** comedy show.

According to the leaks and rumors that have been coming out for months...

The movie was altered many many times and he filmed quite a bit for it that they tossed out in response to the Last Jedi backlash and the bomb that was Solo.

Sucks for Matt, since he's a good actor....and for the fans, since Disney shit all over everything to try and save face after unleashing the fuck up that was Last Jedi.

The Last Jedi was the best sequel movie. TRoS sucks because someone decided they needed to run a bunch of damage control for things that weren't problems because nerds who were always going to whine anyway got their panties in a knot.

Also, Leia was almost definitely supposed to be a much bigger part of the movie, so they probably had to have a pretty significant change in the story.

Darmik posted...

Looks like theories about him spread from being a young Palpatine, being Palpatine's son or a blue alien that popped up on a trading card who didn't appear in the movie.

If Dominoc Monaghan made the cut it makes you wonder why he didn't.

Well they needed a rebel that also had lines, and already insisted on reducing Rose's part in the movie to as little as they were actually allowed to do.

This is assuming I'd have a date with the perfect girl regardless.

I'd just be wondering how I got that 1000$

Not till Crash Bandicoot comes in as Nintendo flexes over Sony's 90's mascot

Yeah it was like 2 weeks ago. The House is stalling out setting up the actual Senate trial basically as an attempt to convince the Senate to at least pretend that they care about the whole "destroying the concept of democracy" that Trump is doing.

Cheer for the Bills, because they're the unofficial football team of most of Ontario, due to just being the closest to the border.

Darmik posted...

I think there's a mobile game tied into the movie but that's it.

Pretty crazy and a bit sad.

If you play as the girl, AC Odyssey is basically a Wonder Woman game, so It can probably be done fairly well.

Favorite SW movie by a wide margin

This. I enjoy it a little less due to how RoS really botched the landing, but it and TFA are 2 of my favourite Star Wars movies

Isn't this like a 5th time Trump has threatened WWIII? They're going to trade insults, talk tough, and then hopefully nothing will happen.

I thought this was a retaliation strike against Iran.

For what?

Retaliation because that's Trump's word of the day. But really it was a targeted attempt to kill Soleimani, and political figure in Iran, who republican defenders have argued was "planning violence against the US" so we (pre-emptively?) retaliated, I guess.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/iran-strike-live-updates/2020/01/03/3779f55c-2e33-11ea-bcb3-ac6482c4a92f_story.html

A Series of Unfortunate Events was basically a perfect adaptation of the series IMO.

lolwut

the only one I was ever in was at a NoFX concert and I was upright for about three seconds and then I was on the ground with my knee bleeding and my glasses smashed. If my friend hadn't been there to help I would've probably been dinged up pretty bad.

I've been told that was super weird too, but I'm also in Canada, so maybe the stereotype is real. Most of them are in smaller venues and don't have that huge mosh pits, so it might just be less people getting riled up.

It's not like everything stopped, just the guys jumping around nearby kinda stopped for a sec and helped you get back up.

DeadBankerDream posted...

Also, what the fuck is a mosh pit? Is it a geriatric thing?

a mosh pit is the part in a rock/metal concert where everyone gets extra rowdy and excited and jump around and shove each other. It's just another "lol BIden is old and out of touch" comment

But the ones I've personally seen, have like decent people there. Like the "stop for a second and make sure you don't get hurt if you fall over" thing. Trump is the kind of person who would get pushed and start trying to throw punches around.

I'm not convinced, after the PS3 removed PS2 support and PS4 just had none.

But if it actually does, I'm definitely getting a PS5, bunch of PS4 games I've not gotten a chance to play because I bought an XBONE

The whole DNC campaign is a ****show, what else is new?
