Hey, I've literally rolled on the floor laughing several times. That was a lie. I am a liar.

Because he's never been portrayed as a noble Jedi before. He was a green kid in ANH. He was a whiner in ESB. He could have passed as a noble Jedi in the ROTJ's first act. And he wasn't in TFA. There's not much in these four movies to hang your Noble Jedi hat on.

It seems like the direction of the original trilogy was that Luke was going on to be a Jedi Knight. He was training to become one throughout the trilogy and becomes one at the end of ROTJ after defeating Vader.

It's fine that some people don't want that and want him to be different, but many people wanted to see Luke be a cool Jedi Master. I don't see why some people make that out to be a dumb and immature view or expectation to have. Having a typical hero isn't always bad.

It's a very well done show about how institutions are corrupt and have failed so many people who end up stuck in a life of poverty and/or crime. The show is both about Baltimore and America as a whole. Each season has a main topic in a sense like the police force, unions and blue collar workers, the press, the school system, and politics.

It's sort of tough to get into because the show does not hold your hand when it comes to the plot and all the characters. It took a couple of times for me to get into it, but when you do, you'll be hooked. Be prepared, it can be a very heavy show.

It's just them being lazy. The characters have their fall so they can rise up again. It's easier than coming up with something interesting for a "legacy" character who already won the day. That plus getting the old actors back for that nostalgia.

I feel there's a middle ground between TLJ Luke and EU Goku-like Luke. Not everyone who didn't like TLJ wants EU Luke. That's become a straw man. They went so ridiculous in the EU where he could pull Star Destroyers down out of orbit and stuff.

Luke can still be a cool Jedi master and still have issues and problems to overcome.

I just think they're neat.

"I'm not gonna talk about Horny. If fact, we're not going to talk about horny at all. We're going to leave horny out of it."

A good bit. Both had/have typical boomer tastes. My dad liked classic rock, but also southern rock and country music. Mostly outlaw country like Hank Williams Jr., Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, etc.). 80s metal too. My dad had a special remastered CD of Dark Side Of The Moon which he forbade me to ever touch.

My mom was a bit on the lighter side when it came to rock. Basically a lot of 70s and 80s stuff that leaned on the more pop side. Lots of pop music too even up to the 90s. The stuff you'd hear on Adult Contemporary stations.

Both liked disco so I got into that through them. Both also liked Led Zeppelin. Stairway To Heaven was their song. Weird choice, but not a bad one I guess.

these posts are so weird to me

How is it weird? Did you hate everything your parents listened to or something?

I kinda like this one, Bob. Leave it.

Why was it not protected in glass? Besides, what good do these goons think ruining or attempting to ruin paintings will do against climate change? Not even the notoriety and attention benefits fighting climate change. It just pisses people off.

On top of not respecting them, I have full blown contempt and hatred towards them.

"Nice PJs Simpson. Did your mommy buy them for ya?"
"Of course she did. Who else would have?"
"...Alright Simpson. You win this round."

I hate that I can't tell if this is real or satire.

Super Mario All Stars. Always liked playing it over the originals. I rarely ever play my SNES anymore or any of my other old games really.

I naively and stupidly gave 98% of my SNES games to my uncle's girlfriend, and no one stopped me and I thought that was really annoying that I don't have them any more. I had some great ones, and some of the dumb ones (like that unicycle racing game).

I got guilt tripped into giving my original SNES and games away when I was a kid. My mom said I had my N64 while my cousin had nothing. Same for my Game Gear. On one hand I'm glad to have helped my cousin out, but on the other I parted with some great games. Plus the nostalgia of playing it with my dad who died when I was 12.

There were people asking how the husky got into a crib. It jumped, husky is a big dog. Big dogs other than pit bulls often get a reputation of gentle giants and the owners dont perceive the threat.

I think people would be asking the same questions if it were a pit. Although it's certainly possible it just jumped in there. While other big dogs might not get as much scrutiny as pits, I think most people realize they are also a possible danger. Still to be fair, pits do deserve at least some of extra attention they get because they are so powerful.

If this was a pit...

creativerealms posted...

No one here would be doubting this story of the dog was a pitt bull. They would instead be calling for pitts to be banned.

Just saying.

Is anyone even doubting that the dog mauled the baby? This seems odd to say. Nobody should have big aggressive dogs around small children, pits or not.

It's such an awful mindset where people feel the need to kick out their own children when they turn 18. It's especially horrible in this day in age.

Well thank you. Felt like I was getting crickets all the time. And I enjoy your posts as well.

My friends think I'm funny and I seem to crack them up quite a bit. My jokes and wisecracks on the internet don't seem to land though.

I agree with that, but not the score. Agree on the detente scene, also the ill buy you an ice cream

Fair enough, and that's a good one too.

People need to quit hatin on AC/DC. :(

They're not deep, but they don't have to be. It's just fun balls out rock.

I didn't think about the pride stuff. I always say LGBT+ people, along with many other groups that are seen as the enemy by conservatives, need to arm up and learn how to defend themselves. Others have too. We can't depend on anybody else to save us.

People here complain about Mississippi and Alabama and Arkansas but personally they're all the damn same to me. Terrible places to live but they're cheap and I wouldn't be able to afford a move. Terrible people overall. Southern kindness is shallow at best. People make it sound like we're the nicest people in the world but wait until you're out of view and they're going to talk shit.

Yeah, most of the south is very similar, especially when it comes to being horrible. Some states are slightly better than others, but overall they all suck.

Most people down here are full of shit on top of being bigoted and ignorant, but I will say there are still good folks down here who show legitimate southern hospitality and you can't top that kind of kindness. Too bad it's rare.

A lot people justify every evil action done by Israel because of the hostages. I wonder how they feel about this.

Its fine. The score is grating. You could argue Moores best. Im taking at least half Connerys, both Daltons a Brosnan or two and a few of the Craigs over it. oHMSS too.

Yeah, I wouldn't put it in the top 10, but it's gets hated on more than it should. It's definitely one of Moore's best and it was good that it's more grounded after the spectacle of Moonraker. The "Dtente" scene might be one of my favorite scenes in a James Bond movie.

I like the funky score, but the title song doesn't do much for me.

Underrated movie

I know another person here who lives in Louisiana. was that you or someone else? I remembered there was south in their username. I think they lived near or in New Orleans.

Nah, I'm next door in Mississippi.

I live in the south, obviously, but thankfully I'm in the closet when it comes to my leftism plus my sexuality and gender identity. Only my friends know my politics. I can defend myself regardless if the dumb fucks try something.

Not that I expect it to happen of course and there's also the technical aspects, but it wouldn't shock me that much. Biden is one of those who wants a "strong Republican party" like the other delusional old fossils of the establishment who still thinks it's 1992 or some shit. People like Pelosi who fist bumped Mitch McConnell even after the constant rat fucking he has caused (and said the strong Republican party line) and Feinstein who hugged Lindsay Graham.

Good for them. ABBA rocks.

Lars gets too much shit. He's not even bad at all, really. He's just not spectacular like some of his peers or the drumming greats. He does his job well. He will make mistakes, but everyone does.

Ringo is another drummer who gets undeserved crap. He's more talented than people make him out to be. He's tight and can pull out a nice groove when needed.

Oh another couple:

Disco is awesome and Hair metal is awesome. It's just fun.

I remember seeing it in a top 10 worst dlcs list in a magazine. Number 1 was some game I hadn't heard of but it wasn't a single dlc they where bashing. They where bashing it would cost over 3k to purchase all the dlc the game had.

Sounds like one of the "______ Simulator" games.

Butthole sunners is the name of my Butthole Surfers cover band.

-People who say old music is boring are exactly the same as people who say all new music sucks, yet this opinion is acceptable for some reason when it shouldn't. Its almost fashionable to say (classic rock band/artist) sucks.

-Weezer is kinda lame.

I don't really have any super hot takes I guess.

Now people would defend horse armor. "It's mostly just cosmetic! You don't have to buy it! What are you, poor?"

Democrats are so inept it's like out of a parody. Every time they're given ammo to fight the good fight, they decide not to use it.

If you like Chaplin, be sure to check out Buster Keaton as well. Dude was an incredible stunts man and very funny as well.

Came in to say this. That dude was on a whole another level.

Is it possible to learn this power? Not that I would.

Just got back from a warning.

If they're the type who loves preaching "family values" and accusing others of being deviants for being gay, trans, etc., yes. I honestly think cheating is a character flaw in general. Shows they can be untrustworthy and a liar.

A deleted topic was made about MTG bikini pictures she released earlier. Some hadsome less than nice things to say about them.

That prompted this topic.

Ah, I see.

Yeah, I haven't made insults like that in a long while because it might remind some folks of their own lack of a love life and make them feel bad when they don't deserve it. Plus it's just a cheap insult and not a good reason to judge anybody.
