First they tried to claim they were independent, then they took it back... what a bunch of Indian givers.

I don’t think it’s about being childlike. It’s about the fact that Star Wars takes place in another galaxy, whereas ID4 takes place on contemporary Earth, so we can easily compare it to reality and lose our suspension of disbelief.

There is no reason to hate on what is undoubtedly the greatest entertainment franchise in the history of forever just because you’re excited for this movie.

And, you know, because the original wasn’t very good.

So use adblocker. Why do you need hardware for that? Again, I can see the utility for older kids.

The problem with that dashboard in a Volkswagen is that every time you try to tune the radio, it always ends up much higher than the station it says you’re listening to.

Me: “The renaissance was centered in Italy.”

And now that you’ve decided to make this about me, I’m done.

I might if there hadn’t been things like someone spraying ISIS on a Sikh temple’s grounds in the same city a few days later just like the article said. Let me guess, you think they did that themselves too.

I don’t know, maybe because I don’t assume a guy is lying just because he looks foreign?

You’re right. It is a public forum... so where the hell do you get off telling me my post had no reason to be there? I didn’t read the rest. Not interested in someone who thinks that they have the freedom to say what they want but I don’t.

That would have been much easier to buy if the article you didn’t read didn’t have this in it:

Except I didn’t imply it either. However I’m pretty sure the statement you replied to was in response to something someone else, not you, said, so if anything had no reason to be in this thread, it would be your butting in to the conversation.

Except the testing they did was mostly useless.

Then I guess it’s a good thing I never said that.

Not to downplay Patricia Highsmith’s contribution (I think she’s a terrific writer), but I think the success of Strangers on a Train lies with Hitchcock inserting a homosexual subtext into the film which Highsmith herself said improved the story immensely. I think it would have been a rather middling film with a…

My five-year-old loves the iPad and knows the ins and outs of it very well, but I can’t picture a scenario where she would be using any of the internet that would get her to a part of it that would require filtering for her age. I think the device as a whole is a great idea, but I can’t imagine what Pre-K filtering…

You didn’t answer my question about his landspeeder: Namely, why did he take that to hunt for R2D2 when he could have covered more ground from the air in his T-16? What, is there a law against flying them when it isn’t womp rat hunting season?

You know, between this alien and Yoda living 900 years, you have to wonder why everyone in the Galaxy is rushing around all the time.

You think that the Habsburgs had something to do with the renaissance, which was mainly centered in Italy? You have very strange notions of European history, and the idea that Prussia was some sort of center of culture is just hilarious.
