Nope.

Nope.

Didn't want this.

EDIT: Sorry let me elaborate. I'm a bit sick of self-aware snide commentary and pretending that your animated stars are existing beings working as entertainers. Roger Rabbit was the first word on this, and Looney Tunes Back in Action was the last word.

Also no I do not like the fact that the two principal cast members are different animation styles. It's jarring.

I still can't see Peacock
At the beginning of the scene, when the group runs out to the hall, Peacock is trailing behind them. As they talk at the door, she goes off frame camera-right, but doesn't reappear, even when they switch to the interior of the billiard room.

Oh and if you pay attention, you can totally notice that Peacock isn't there in the Billiard Room after Yvette screams. You can see her even run past everyone in this scene:
Furthermore, in the kitchen when they find the cook's body, Peacock and Plum only are present late in the scene, and they're posted by the door, which is when Mr. Boddy gets killed in Endings 2 and 3.

All murders work if you account for some quick movement between cuts, although it's difficult to imagine Mrs. Peacock rushing up and down from the basement. Also I had a problem for the longest time with Mrs. White killing Yvette, given it was White screaming that made Yvette run downstairs, unless it's the case that Yvette was running towards Mrs. White and not away from her.

Wait, the person you were just dating a couple weeks ago? Sorry
Yup. Happened two Saturdays ago.

Also, I would have assumed you were having sex for some reason. Thought you had been together a couple months.
Six months, nearly seven. We both have full time jobs and live about an hour's drive apart from each other, so while we saw each other almost every week, it was never to stay over.

Also I was the second relationship she'd ever had, and her first was a bad experience, so I was trying to go at her pace for getting physical, which is tough when half our dates were meeting up at a place, and another quarter of them were at her place where her young nephew is living with her. We got as far as getting naked and holding each other at my place back in December, but she was on her period at the time and didn't want to go any further. She did express wanting to go further, but I guess that wasn't as important as she might have said it was.

It's... different when you get older.

His mission was to locate and destroy the planet upon which the rebel base was located. So yeah, his duties absolutely involved planetary destruction. How could you possibly infer that they didn't?
Because he destroyed a planet that he knew didn't have the Rebel Base.

You are also confusing "anti-authority" with "anti-intellectual."
That's not my intent. I'm trying to say both exist within these franchises. Independently, but with equal amount of disdain.

Gobstoppers12 posted...
We can make certain assumptions based on the Imperial command structure. Tarkin was sent by Palpatine to oversee and command the Death Star, which I'm sure included protocols and guidelines as to precisely how the Death Star should be implemented. There's never any indication that Tarkin has gone rogue or made some kind of radical decision within the context of his service to the Empire.
And yet he wasn't ordered to do so. He acted, without Vader's prior knowledge ("What do you mean?"), and was then justified at the time by Vader and after the fact by the Emperor.

I'm not saying he went rogue. I'm saying he acted in a manner that was in accordance within the system of the Empire and its goals.

Remember, you're the one trying to spin that the Empire itself is nothing more than the will of a single person. The fact alone that Tarkin acted independently to commit genocide shows that the rot is systemic and goes all the way down.

So we can, based on the context of the film, safely assume that destroying Alderaan was well within the range of Tarkin's assigned duties. There's nothing present within the material to suggest otherwise.
I think you're over-committing to the idea that Tarkin's duties involved planetary destruction.

I think you're trying to make excuses in order to justify this mental place you live in where "Star Wars isn't political" because if it were then you'd feel you'd have to not like it for some reason.

I continue to assert that none of the "political statements" in Star Wars pertain to any one political administration or ideology (apart from, as mentioned before, 'evil is bad,'). You can fish after-the-fact examples out of interviews or post theories from bloggers all you like, but the fact of the matter is that the source material itself has no overt political biases or leanings.

Hell, maybe the Empire would have been a good thing for the galaxy if it hadn't been controlled by the Star Wars equivalent to the literal devil. There's no direct comparison between The Empire and any currently existing political party or administration, simply because nobody on planet earth is quite as evil and as powerful as Palpatine was. If it's a metaphor, it's childishly heavy-handed, and if Palpatine is supposed to represent a real person, then he just...doesn't, lol
Was the Emperor the one that chose to destroy Alderaan?

His comment about the "all sides" thing is because Rockstar almost exclusively makes right-wing games and the "all sides" aspect is stuff like them having the LA Noire communist not actually be guilty (and that "communist" really needs quotes because he is basically anti-communist in every political sense), or GTA having a general disdain for authority. Inversely its actually "heavy" stuff is like how they cover basic "thug life" stereotypes in GTA (and by that I mean just play them straight) or replace the stuff that actually happened in LA Noire with caricatures to completely distort the reality of the situation (the "throw everyone out + doze everything for a highway" was real, but instead of it being a government conspiracy it was General Motors pulling the strings).
Combining GTA and South Park having been brought up, I think they share a lot in their worldbuilding and message. Between being set in a world populated by the worst pastiches of American society and having a core cast focused around the idea of either personal gain or their own personal morals, framed typically as either being "preferable" or at least somewhat desirable, I get a libertarian bent from that.

Consider in both franchises people in prominence are reduced to ineffectual joke versions of themselves. No one actually "knows" what they're doing. Whenever they get involved, it's to get in the way of the main cast. It's anti-authority yet also anti-expert. It brings forward ideas only to mock them outright.

The idea of "making fun of both sides" is meant to imply that the individual is the best one to shape the world, whether it's the player in GTA or typically the four kids in South Park. That's a very libertarian perspective.
