| Topic | Why are movies like Gremlins and Diehard considered Christmas movies? |
| ParanoidObsessive 12/27/19 3:24:50 PM #21 | Krazy_Kirby posted... die hard could have just as easily been a normal office party on a friday night or something Yeah, but then you lose the entire subtext that he's estranged from his ex-wife, and that he doesn't really interact with her or the family much, and that she's extending an olive branch to him because "it's the holidays". You also lose some of the subtext of why he's so nervous (hence the whole subplot where he loses his shoes and is barefoot the whole movie, which Hans then exploits later). There's actually a lot of Christmas elements in the movie. They don't need to be there, no, but they're still there. And saying you can take them out and still have a movie is true of most Christmas movies as well, so it's not really a valid argument (A Christmas Carol doesn't have to be about Christmas, it could just be about any old miser being misery at any point during the year, etc). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family |

Because there's no such thing as theaters that show movies at times other than official first release. I mean, I saw Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back in a movie theater in 1983. And I used to have a theater near me that would show movies months later but for like 1/4th the price. And there's a theater near me that recently showed Godfather I and II one after the other. And I think they did a Back to the Future night with all three movies as well. And I know one theater near me that shows Rocky Horror Picture Show every Halloween. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family |

| Topic | Is there a truck that has room for 4 car seats? |
| ParanoidObsessive 12/27/19 11:18:46 AM #9 | My truck has room enough to seat 6. Front and back bench seats can hold driver and passenger comfortably up front (with space in the middle to squeeze an extra person in slightly less comfortably), with three in the back (and minimal middle hump so it's not a problem for footroom). It's actually better than my car - that only has bucket seats up front and a bench seat in back, for 5 seats (but the middle back seat is basically a write-off because it's on the center hump, so it's terrible for anyone other than small children). My old truck could seat 4, sort of - it had driver and passenger bucket seats and two jumper seats behind them that could fold down out of the side. So if you wanted to squeeze kids or small people in (or just didn't care how uncomfortable larger people are going to be), you could - though the jumper seats sit sideways, so that might be an issue for injury if there was an accident.

| ParanoidObsessive 12/27/19 9:37:46 AM #5 | Almost any older comedian you ask will tell you that either Carlin or Richard Pryor are the funniest comics ever. I don't know if I'd agree, but I definitely prefer Carlin over Dangerfield. I was never really a huge fan of Dangerfield, whereas Carlin was incredible, especially during his middle period (when he was less hippie than he was in his early routines, but not quite as bitter as he'd get in his later work). The only downside with Carlin was when stupid people would quote everything he said like the holy writ of a philosopher (especially the political stuff), but that phase seems mostly over at this point (probably because a lot of the younger idiots on the Internet barely know who he is anymore). So I can go back to loving his bits about language and social mores. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family |

Any time someone has sent the wrong product, or not sent a product at all, or otherwise messed up an order, I file a complaint and it's almost immediately corrected or addressed in some way (either the right product gets shipped or I get a refund).

And if we'll recall, this is exactly the thing I pointed out from the get-go with TFA, and how it's slavish adherence to safe mediocrity would virtually guarantee the whole trilogy being tainted and doomed to fail. And I disagreed at the time - and I still disagree now. Nothing about VII makes failure inevitable. There are plenty of ways it could have gone that would have worked quite effectively. Fuck, give me a weekend and I could probably write a better spec script for Episode VIII and IX than what we got. This isn't rocket science. The real problem was a lack of unifying vision. Allowing three different directors (even if one of them eventually backed out) to shoot three different barely connected movies written by three different people, and without a central authority directing traffic in any way, and with no attempt to rein in excessive deconstruction. There are definitely elements of VII that made following up harder than it might otherwise have been (though ironically, they're not necessarily the parts aping New Hope the most). But there were multiple ways they could have built on that foundation, before Rian Johnson deliberately severed every single thread and then kicked over whatever was left before setting it on fire.

| Topic | Not having a Switch is depressing |
| ParanoidObsessive 12/23/19 7:31:32 AM #27 | Jen0125 posted... I don't understand anyone who says it's got 1-3 good games. You must be incredibly picky. If you ignore any games that are available on other systems, and just stick to exclusives (which are mostly first-party Nintendo games), it has an extremely weak library. If you dislike the mobile aspect of it, it can leave you with absolutely no reason to ever want the system. Conversely, if you love the mobile aspect, then the availability of non-exclusive titles on a portable system may be a huge plus, and thus it will seem to have a much stronger library to you. As an example, for someone who dislikes the idea of the Switch, Skyrim being on it really isn't going to be a selling point. But for someone who likes playing on the go, they may love the fact that Skyrim is on the Switch, and count it as part of a strong collection of games. Ultimately, like most things, it depends on what you're looking for in gaming. Personally, if someone gave me a Switch for free, I'd probably give it away to someone else or sell it. There's pretty much zero there to make me want it. But I can also understand why other people might love it. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family |

| ParanoidObsessive 12/22/19 3:17:04 PM #18 | Blighboy posted... The phrase balance isn't really supposed to be taken literally. The force isn't a set of scales. It just means that things are in their natural healthy state. That only works if you consider the Dark Side to be unnatural. But the thing is, you can't have life without death. Decay exists to recycle things into new forms. The brightest lights cast the darkest shadow, and conversely, light is meaningless without shadow to define it. It's way more interesting to see the Dark Side as a natural (if terrible) aspect of the Force in itself, which has to exist in order for the Light Side to exist. Two sides of the same coin, each having a purpose, each being necessary. With the only problem being when one or the other of the two falls out of balance, growing too strong and potentially overpowering the other. It also makes what happened in the prequels almost clever - the Jedi wind up getting blindsided because they mistakenly assumed the prophecy meant one thing, when it actually meant another. Too many Jedi (without an equal number of Sith to counterbalance them) had unbalanced the Force, so something had to come along to reset the scales. Cue the new balance - two Jedi in hiding, two Sith ruling. Of course, something clever and interesting has no place in the prequels, so of course Lucas poo-pooed the idea. And then talked about how he wanted to double down on midichlorians if he'd done the sequels himself. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family |

But at least it more or less functions as a movie, in comparison to the other 2. I said at the time it would work well as a base to build on, and to redeem the bad taste the prequels left in people's mouths, if it led into the next two movies and helped set up an effective trilogy. So my ultimate opinion of VII was going to depend entirely on what they did with VIII and IX. Considering how the following movies did absolutely nothing worthwhile with any of it, it sort of makes TFA much, much worse in retrospect. Because it wasn't nostalgia to set up a new beginning, it was hollow nostalgia with absolutely no substance, no direction, and no point.

The Mayan calendar "ending" doesn't really mean much more than the fact that MY calendar "ends" every December 31. And even if it DID mean what everyone said it meant, and that the world would literally end when the calendar did, it wouldn't matter because there's at least some evidence to suggest that the New Agers did the math wrong, and the last long count didn't end in 2012 anyway. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family |

At least a few of the candidates currently in the running have very little chance of beating him, no matter how badly people may think he's going to lose.
