Seriously?

I had a four hour night battle with a single mosquito two weeks ago. It was all very Melville. I did eventually get the fucker. I worked out eventually that it seemed very fond of landing first on the rim of the bedside lampshade before making a subsequent approach to my head. And they’re bloody hard to spot perched…

> In other words, the easier it is for you to remember your password, the easier it is for someone else to crack it (generally speaking).

I use techniques such as remembering paragraphs of text that are personal to me - perhaps a private joke or a saying that became popular only within my family or group of friends, or…

I just download my digital purchases and strip the DRM. 

It certainly had the ambition to do so. The problem is that it’s written by somebody who lacked the ability to pull that off while also giving as a story that worked in the IP universe. Johnson clearly only has a surface-level familiarity with the Star Wars universe, and no real understanding of how to write a chapter…

Didn’t ruin my childhood. Actually didn’t even ruin the sequel trilogy as it had almost no potential anyway given the laughable foundations laid down by The Force Awakens.

What are you, early 30s, I would guess...?

I’m...not entirely convinced you know what “semantics” means.

Anyway, let’s backtrack:
“It is NOT “for the fans.” On absolutely no level is this “for the fans.” This is studio ego-stroke they’re milking fans to pay for.”

Okay, so let’s get this clear. Firstly you are purporting to know what the fans do and don’t want.…

I’ve read that CBT can be used these days to address intellectual narcissism. Something you might want to consider.

Obviously you’re joking about being an English major, given your consistently hideous sentence construction and all the random, spurious capitalization. What did you actually study, out of interest?

He comes across as a tedious narcissist, so maybe he’s just having a bad day. 

Ferngully has almost zero plot resemblance to Avatar. I suspect strongly that you’ve never seen it, but heard someone else make the comparison and have been repeating it ever since. (This turns out to be the case with a majority of people who make the claim.) 

Just like Titanic and Avatar were going to be mega-turkeys, eh? 

But you attribute to these (poor dope-like) fans a lack of personal agency. Sure, YOU can see they’re being manipulated. But they can’t, of course, because they’re nowhere near as smart as you, the poor things. 

I find the disdain for Avatar weird, and I have to attribute a lot of it to snobbery. (If it hadn’t been so successful, there’s no way that self-appointed cultural mavens would be sticking the boot into it.) I mean, a completely original IP comes out, set in a stunningly-realized world, with a whole slew of new…

Yeah, I have picos on every bedside table, next to the couch and by the TV. Plus one masquerading as a conventional wall switch next to the front door that controls all the lights in the hallway, lounge and kitchen.

Mind you, with most of the common area lights set on timers I rarely even need to use the light switches…

Caseta all the way for me. More up-front hassle, much easier on the back end.

Yes, but why?
