Once I download the extended trilogy and was ready to watch it, but them I got lazy, and never went back to it...
I do want to watch it someday, or since I never watched it, you think it would be nice to read it with that "first time" mind? Without knowing anything? I have a Kindle, so I could put it to a good use.

Whatever you do, don't start with The Silmarillion. If you do you'll probably completely give up on Tolkien forever.

We called it The Phone Book, because it gives the same feelings than trying to read one, an endless list of names.

Here I go again, on my multi-quote bullshit.
When will I learn?

Never understood the appeal of lego version games they always appeared inferior to the orignal games. But perhaps I must have missed out on the coop experience.

Well, there really isn't an original version of the newer Lego Star Wars games, is there?
Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor I thought were great games and a lot of fun. (Except Oggdo Boggdo and Son of, fuck those frog fucks)
Star Wars Squadrons was good, I don't really play those types of games much, but It seems well received.
The Lego games are their own thing now. Designed for a younger age range and more comedy involved.

If they have to make a new star wars movie surely the early days of vader post episode III would be a safe bet. Surely not even Disney could mess that up...could they?

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I am sick of Vader being in everything.
I want something new, that's why I was hopeful for Acolyte. An entirely new timeline apart from all the Skywalkers.

It could be worse...

Look at that nose! I bet that clown stuck the lipstick up there!

lol. well you sound like a cool grampa who love to get the little ones sit on his lap and tell them bed time stories... eeeekkk... What did I just say??? This is porn place and i think maybe this sounds bit weird??? or actually maybe fun.. ok, Ima stop now hahaha Im bad girl

I feel like 'creepy touching' is the type of grandpa @Safetydummy will be.
Don't let him play Santa without a chastity cage!

Yes me too. Win 11 is a complete spyware for microsoft and it much worse than win 10. I refuse to update to win11 until I have to and it is terrible how these jackass company are allowed to illegally access our data that have nothing to do with windows.

That's the thing, they didn't try to change anything, is just a recycled history made to plase a selected group of people.

That's exactly it. We're just going in circles at this point.

On the first half I agree with you, there is a lot of stupid people out there, however don't you think that if they had used some black popular actors to make the live action of the princess and the frog, the movie would have been well received by the demographic they were trying to appeal to and still earn money?, even so I admit that I'm a little biased as I liked the movie and would have watched the live action.

Who is to say that they won't do that? They've remade so many animated movies in live action, they probably will eventually.
I don't know how old you are, but when Princess and the Frog came out, there was 'controversy' about having a black Disney princess and also how she wasn't black enough.
Plus, the movie was set in New Orleans. The city was still cleaning up from Katrina and I remember someone (radio or TV host) saying it was a ploy to attract more audience.

And on the seconf half its not about if she is white or black, is about the fact that the character has originally designed to be in a certain way, taking into consideration the time, place and context of the era on which the original book was written, and to change it to just please a certain group and not even trying to add something to the overal story just doesn't sit well with me.

Didn't know that to be honest.

Humans change stories all the time to fit with the current view and times. The first mermaid stories are from the middle east.
The 1989 movie was changed from the original Hans Christian Anderson story, too.
You should look up the original story synopsis if you haven't before. She gets rejected by the prince and he marries a princess from another country. She then has a choice to kill him to regrow her tail, but refuses because she loves him and jumps in the sea, leading to her death.

Yeah, it was a poor example, even so my point is that to change the culture to which a character is associated with will not sit well with said group.

Okay? Mermaids aren't real. There is no 'Mermaid Culture'
The Little Mermaid isn't associated with Danish culture, either. It's an animated movie based off of a folk story.

Honestly, I think the Ariel outcry about her being played by a black actress was mostly just plain racism... ariels "race" or color was never really part of the character... she is a damn mermaid... that is not like letting a black man play Napoleon or something. The movie was shit, but that is a completly different matter (And personal taste, considering the high audience score it has on rotten tomatoes). Now, I say mostly, because it was indeed a kinda weird decision (and why not change it up properly if you already started to change things) and I am sure there are people that really just thought about it in the way you describe, which is fair enough, I mean, those people would find an all white cast for a live action Moana movie shit too.
But lets face it, a biiiiig amount of those that complained about Ariel would not complain about the mirrored thing happening in a live action Moana... it is fine to call out racist shit, even if it coincidentally overlaps with reasonable complaints of non-racists

Honestly, I didn't really care for the movie. I was never a Little Mermaid stan or fan.
I don't want to write any more book reports about it.

He's a bad guy... in 21st century storytelling.

They "have to" make him a clown... otherwise someone might... I dunno... create a Galactic Empire right here on Earth or some shit.
At least that's how they behave.

I HATE IT. Let me be clear. But I've (sort of) made peace that most entertainment will fuck over villains in any story to appease the puritanicals.

People don't like villains! That's why they're villains.
I want a good villains in my stories, too. But, I want them to lose at the end. I can assure you, I am not a puritanical.
Human nature, I guess

I don't live for them, but I get a little enjoyment out of them. I'll occasionally grab one on sale for like $3 and play it for an afternoon, then never play it again.
That said, I liked the Marvel Heroes ones, simply because flying around the city as Iron Man was cool.

Mindless fun is really the best fun, isn't it?

Hi!

Yay joey is back!

How are you guys doing?

 

[Amman]

A little advice that helped me tremendously. Open 2 tabs, one for the frontline the other where you're backreading.
Stay on the frontline !! When it gets slow or every few minutes go chip away a little of the backread. Otherwise you'll
always be behind. There was a time for about 2-3 weeks where i got home and had 40-70 pages to read to get caught
up. After 6 or so hours i would finally reach the frontline then have to go to sleep. Rinse and repeat. Hope you give this
a try, if you do message me and let me know how it's working for ya - Bonky

This is pretty much what I've been doing for the last few weeks, almost caught up now.

Bonky snickering from far far away. Then I realized that for brother Conzi , fucker can be a verb and adjective.

j/k It's like Matthiacallus said, you kinda knew how it was going to end (especially if you've seen a "A New Hope".
I mean Alan Tudyk was in it, so that helped. He kills in everything.
AND it was one of the few where everybody dies- which is rare for a Star Wars flick...

That's what made me think it was a waste. You get invested in the characters, you root for them, they all are subsequently vaporized.

Memory's a tad fuzzy (it's late) that's also the one where Lord Vader just bad-asses his way through the Rebel Ship, right?

Yep.

Interestingly enough- there's going to be an animated DC cartoon where Batman is in Incan/Aztec times and I believe they're using Spanish speaking (possibly even South American) voice actors for it...
Batman might even be a woman... I just glossed over the article gif hunting.

I saw that a while ago. His suit looked cool, at least. Something about a bat god.
It's made by the HBO in Mexico, I think.

I thought it was a pig that he had to give a "nipple-ectomy"?

I've only been here 3 weeks! I missed all the old avatars. Everyone was a paint face or a letter when I showed up.

IT would still fuck-up even after the phone company gave you, what, *70 prefix or whatever to "block" your line? It took years for that shit to finally work...

It was an unlisted number, it never got phone calls! It still disconnected all the time.

Well, shit I would've signed the petition IF I thought I could get my way in each and every instance of life...
These are those "participation trophy" motherfuckers from THAT generation- aren't they? Coddled and catered to so they're widdle feewings didn't get huwt?

I think you're confused, the media must pertain to MY interests. Not yours. MINE!

Yeah, I remember reading that, but I guess it didn't go any where or they settled out of court?

Well, there wasn't any penetration from what I remember, but the director just did it to her in one take.
Wanted the genuine reaction, he said.

Didn't you allude to being a fat bastard? Don't knock it until you've tried it. Kerry Gold is the secret- even on a Chip's Ahoy...
