Speaking of opera, I'd really like to see them broadcast the Death of Klinghoffer Met HD video. I mean, it was recorded for their in-theater series, wasn't it? It's out there, right? It was too damn expensive to see live. I want to see it, damnit. I WANT MY KLINGHOFFER.

They really shouldn't. It looks fucking awful. I'd rather they used whatever money they're wasting on the rendering time for those overcompensating gestures to format the show in a native 2.35.

I don't like the mannerisms of the characters in general. They're too broad, as if they have to gesture and pose for every single thing they say, like muppets. The body language on "The Clone Wars" was way, way, way more restrained.

Hm, they skipped over to Red Dragon, without incarcerating Hannibal?

Was this the end of the trilogy? I thought the next episode would be. Hm.

No, of course not. Just you.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Yeah, and you're an ignorant racist fuck. So, cool.

…Okay, I was going to respond to the other comment you just made, but after reading this… Yeah, I think I can say my conscience is clean in ignoring anything you have to say from this point out.

Apparently Yoshiyuki Sadamoto thought they were a good idea, seeing as he included them in the Evangelion manga (NERV apparently does midichlorian counts on all the Eva pilot kids).

Actually it's kinda taken from a line in the movie, and pretty much every interview Lucas has ever given about the politcal side of the movies. The Vietnam thing has been known since the fucking Ewoks, man.

I actually thought After Earth was mostly okay. Granted, mostly for the visuals, but still.

Ugh, great. Now I have to start watching again to see if PB and Finn happen.

Real world context, if not causal. Anyway, you can always go back to Vietnam and its clusterfuck of bullshit rationale. And anyway, part of the whole point of the Jedi accepting the Clone Army is to illustrate that they really aren't all that wise. "Too sure of themselves, they are. Even the older, more experienced…

Uh, yeah. Telling somebody to watch the Plinkett reviews for an opinion on Star Wars is like telling somebody to listen to Bill Maher for a reasoned take on religion. Or Richard Dawkins. Whichever is more of a douche at that particular moment. Have fun with your stale hand-me-down memes.

1) Nobody questions it because they're fucking desperate, and they've been moved into a checkmate and basically need to resort to the army as the best of an array of bad options. There's enough evidence for them to guess that the army is bad news— it's cloned after a guy who was working for the bad guys, who are being…

Well, it's not as cool as inserting Crispin Glover into II and III, but cooler than inserting Eric Stoltz into all the movies. And anyway, it wouldn't be outside of Zemeckis' toolbox, effects wise.

Yeah, being a fan no longer means liking anything, sadly. It just means being, well, fanatical about it. We all know that ends well.

So, the writer who hated half of the Star Wars movies is no longer writing a Star Wars movie? Cool.

Oh, damn. I thought this was "Mr. Pickles" at first. That still exists, right? Fuck.
