Such things always start with good intentions. But when you give anyone the power to determine what can and cannot be said, it always ends in authoritarian tyranny. Some people are drawn to the power, some are corrupted by it, others are caught in a spiral of virtue-signaling and groupthink to the result of…

Alien3 self-destructed in the very opening scenes in a way I’ve only seen happen one other time --Highlander 2: The “What the Fuck Do You Mean They’re Space Aliens?!”-ing.

The New Republic wishes that Ripley had shown up and taken charge now, I bet. And we could ship Leia/Ripley...

You really think Prometheus and Covenant were better than ALIENS? Are you for real? What color is the sky on your planet?

Prove it. Show us. If you really do have one, it will make you a millionaire. NONE are known to exist in public hands, none whatsoever. They aren’t just rare, they’re nonexistent. Nobody has them, because they weren’t produced beyond the prototypes.

So go ahead, check your figure and post pictures. Video would be even…

If it’s any consolation, I bet that raincheck is worth money. Not a lot of those floating around.

This is overblown in pursuit of finding a way to prop up The Last Jedi and minimize and delegitimize the fan reaction to that film. I don’t see any hyperbole or vitriol here, I don’t even see anyone saying they dislike the film. I just see some questions and concerns, which are completely to be expected especially for…

They crippled early PCs as well for fear of cannibalizing sales from their mainframe and minicomputer lines.

Impossible. The IBM PC was not itself introduced until August of 1981, and the Commodore 64 debuted in January 1982. Your recollection must be off by several years.

I can’t find the site now, but there was an article that proposed that a lightsaber was actually a rapidly spinning quantum string of some sort, that shed virtual photons making it visible and cut because it was literally subatomic in thickness. The heat was created only on contact with matter and had something to do…

Grievous was also mostly droid, meaning he had a machine’s strength and precision to enable him to weild them without hacking himself to bits. A fallible human wouldn’t be so capable.

Leia wasn’t Luke’s sister until the next film was written, so nobody would have called the kiss incestuous until after seeing Return of the Jedi.

People keep saying that, and have made that same excuse going all the way back to TPM and the criticism of Jar-Jar Binks. They always ignore that these are NOT children’s films they are in fact ALL AGES films. There was a lot of pretty brutal death and hints of horrible darkness in a setting that is a pretty rough…

Wrong. It’s in the culture now, that’s the entire concept behind public domain. After a certain level of time and popular osmosis into the culture, a work becomes part of the culture as a whole and no longer to any one person or group --ESPECIALLY when the original creator is no longer involved (or alive to be…

I believe the operative term is “fuck this shit I’m out”. I was mostly out the door with TPM, was drawn partially back by AotC and brought back on board with RotS. This time I was mostly out the door with TFA, fully enthused and in love again with Rogue One, but the combination of JJ Abrams coming back on the third…

Mega-class Star Destroyer? Seriously, that’s the best name they could come up with? The creativity on display is staggering. Just wait until next movie, when they introduce the even larger Hellabig-class! They’re saving the Nobutseriouslyitsreallyfuckinghuge-class for the next trilogy, though, so you’ll have to wait a…

That theory may or may not have legs, but Snoke certainly does not. Not anymore.

Why is that guy wearing a George Foreman grill on his arm?

“Kylo Ren is a worthy apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke”

Well, considering that Kylo Ren is a pathetic wannabe Darth Vader, he is indeed a worthy apprentice for a pathetic wannabe Palpatine.

I wonder if the guy is asking ten million, thus establishing a value, and then taking signficantly less and calling the difference a loss which he can claim on his taxes?
