Yeah, Dowd never misses an opportunity to discuss how much he dislikes Star Wars, so a B+ must mean this movie is absolutely god-like. I’ve got tickets to take my surprise brother on Thursday night, so if I wasn’t already at an 11 in terms of excitement well, I’m way past that now.

I mean, obviously that’s the problem with prequels, especially ones made almost two decades after the original. You come up with new ideas and new technologies you didn’t have before that can create what effectively is a continuity error.

They’re fun to watch, but they fact they’re simply (really well-done) choreography is pretty obvious, especially in the Obi-Wan v. Anakin fight in III. That’s one of the things I really liked about the fight in The Force Awakens. It really looked like a powerful, but untrained dude actually trying to kill a young…

Nick Gillard’s choreography for the whole prequel trilogy is just amazing. He designed a unique fighting style for each character which probably did a better job of establishing their characters than most of the dialogue did.

I played both, one right after another and they’re easily my 1 and 2 games of the year. I loved them both and while on the surface they are incredibly similar, once you get into the heart of them they provided unique experiences that made both of them worth playing.

Man, I remember the Vanderwerff letter to the commentariat shitstorm. There were definitely misogynistic dicks who only criticized Dunham’s appearance, but Vaderwerff seriously tried to shut down any criticism of her whatsoever. Nothing like that had ever been done before or done since. It was insane.

Definitely watched that immediately after my post.

I knew before reading the descriptions that the purple one was going to be telekinetic. Anyway, she’s definitely got the best powers.

I’m not gonna lie, I completely forgot about West Lafayette.

Fucking Alabama, man.

I wonder what someone like Vonnegut would have to say about the current state of our country were he still alive right now.

Well Marvin’s delivers everywhere, but since it was also right next to campus, yes, it did, and I ate way too many GCBs.

I’ve only been to Ann Arbor twice, but my impression of it was really good. For the most part Big Ten college towns are awesome, at least the Big Ten schools before they admitted Penn State. It’s hard to go wrong with any of them.

I don’t agree with her first tweet, it just reeks of “Leave Taylor Alone.” She deserves criticsm, but she’s probably also right that now isn’t the time.

Oh I’m sure it does, especially given Indy’s weird structure and the way it absorbed a lot of surrounding townships in the county, but any big-ish city/metro area will have that sort of conservatism in places.

Yes, that is precisely what I said. Excellent reading comprehension.

I read that in Tina’s voice and it made me happy.

That would have been a cool way to do it.

That was the 100-year-old recipe they re-did, right? That was really good.

My best friend (an IU alumna) just moved there over the summer after her boyfriend got a job teaching at IU. B-town might be my favorite Big Ten college town thanks largely to Upland’s Wood Shop which makes the most divine sour beers I’ve ever tasted.
