I guess it's a matter of streamlining dialogue for the writers but I do find it distracting.

You know, I agree with the article's fundamental point (I like the prequels, in the end,) but yes, I thought that was the kind of article one could only know with full knowledge that it was contrarian.

Nude models with thick skin are more popular anyway, thick skin has more texture!

Brutal!

These movies are indeed much better than their reputation suggests… but there are dire bits that can't be spun into positives. The world (and droid!) building isn't one of them.

I don't have people in my life, so take that!

Because when you sit around your room, you sit around your room?

Well it's something that's kind of implied in your comment. I mean, you qualified shitty treatment as being "big meanies" to downplay it, so you know, not a big leap to assume that the juxtaposition with "criminals" plays up the idea that this is a justification for that treatment. Maybe even that's why it's not a big…

And suddenly, since this is the man saying these things, you think the immediate to a terrorist attack has to be super cogent and… huh… I guess academic?

Coincidentally I can imagine Daesh being pronounced like a colloquial word that means semen in Quebec french.

I watched all of Crack Duck's 7 episodes and it's really not quite what it looks like. I was expecting something like other cartoons with a similar look, and I kind of misinterpreted the name "Crack Duck" in a more Mighty Boosh kind of way at first. What I thought was a running gag was… character progression?!

Did you know that "Ruffalo ruffalo ruffalo ruffalo ruffalo ruffalo ruffalo ruffalo." is a grammatically correct sentence in the English language?

Well, or be a robot that delivers babies, like in that last movie.

But the laser sword has a crossbar now.

Why not call it Westwicked City, then?

I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
So I'll just skip to that part
