The slave Leia figures are still avaialable.

Hopefully this doesn’t become something exclusive to the super rich. You think we have massive inequality now? Imagine what the world would be like if the rich could genetically modify their offspring to make them biologically better than everyone else.

“Could be funnier.”

This is what happens when the nearest city with a professional team is Jacksonville, FL (165 miles away) and you live in Bumfuck, GA. Half the people that go to the games have probably never even left the county.

But PS Now is a streaming service. I’d feel happier to have that file downloaded into my hard drive... but not by much.

One point: Farve and his friends did willfully drown the deer. They didn't do it with premeditation, but they most certainly actively participated in actions to kill the deer by drowning.

It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that it’s a self-effacing story of a country boy doing something wrong and instead of doing the right thing progressively doing dumber and dumber. If it’s in the telling (as Brunell stressed) why not benefit of the doubt. Obviously it’s what a dumb f’er I was and I kept doing…

There’s also the matter of shooting a deer with a wholly inappropriate weapon just to shoot a deer. Not that many people I know, hunters or non-hunters, would find that “funny”.

I don’t think most people are horrified at the idea of hunting a deer so much as the idea that drowning a wounded deer in a creek is “hilarious” to Mark Brunnel (and presumably to Farve - I assume he told it as a ‘funny’ story). I eat animals and it would be more than a little hypocritical of me to have a problem with…

Exactly.

OMG this! They don’t freak me out I just get pissed off wasting ammo or alerting the others by taking a pot shot at a fucking mannequins instead of the real bad guys.

That would have been my call, and no, we would not have. I think the issue raised here is interesting and worthy of discussion, but I don’t read the gender ratio of the judges as intentional exclusion that would compel me to protest the awards.

There are nothing but weak links in this.

I was 2 in 1982, so I have no idea if anyone would have made any connection then, but the linkage between Creed and Ali seemed to be the weakest part of any of this.

Piffle. I’m 65 years old and never thought of any comparison between Muhammad Ali and Rocky. And in none of the conversations both before going to college and after getting there was any reference to following in Ali’s footsteps. There was anger at him because, for anyone who had no intention of running to Canada or…

You HAVE to finish it!!! It goes from awesome to OMFG-mind blowing AWESOME!

Also - PONTYPOOL! I started watching it and loved it, btu couldn’t finish because I passed out drunk. I LOVE Stephen McHattie! He needs more work!

Yeah I was lazy about seeing good films in theaters this year - I left the house for Crimson Peak, Ultron, Inside Out, and a revival showing of Mad Max: The Road Warrior at my local arthouse theater. I admit, I was lazy about intellectual movies, but I have Netflix for those.

There are a lot of things it should win for - at least Production Design and Special Effects, because they actually built all those vehicles, AND the pole cats were real, practical effects. The behind the scenes special features were as insane to watch as the movie!
