Connecticut Player Finder: We're better than you <3

[Mogwai]

no, I really don't. I think it's literally my least favorite ending of all time. If I've ever liked an ending less, I don't remember it, which I think is indicative of the fact that I've never liked an ending less unless it was so traumatic that my brain blocked it out.

 

[Hazygoose]

the medal scene is important because we infer that chewie already has a commendation, and is a bigger ****** than anyone would have guessed.

 

[AxelSlam]

I've been listening to The Roots, De La Soul and MF Doom a lot lately.

Holy **** what else have I been missing all my life.

new best friend here

 

[S l o X]

after listening to how i got over 100000+ times, i cba to listen to game theory and company (although i have listened to tipping point a bit too)

 

[HollaAtchaBoy]

Zao check out Edan's first album and it'll change your life.

 

[Aesir]

um, because it does absolutely nothing? we know they're heroes, we just saw it. we saw them rejoice after succeeding. Instead of ending on a high note that feels like real exuberance, we're instead forced to sit through an awkward medal ceremony where literally nothing happens. We see the characters we've grown to know and love over the past 2 hours stand around stiffly and do nothing... it's actually the exact opposite of an epic ending if you ask me. It's a really really dumb and pointless scene imoimoimo.

My counter to this.

[AxelSlam]

kupo just left my house
he's pretty cool, pretty good.
but in conclusion

i might as well just give up on this game.

 

[HollaAtchaBoy]

Then it sounds to me like we're gonna be pretty evenly matched on Friday.

 

[SEXY]

Who is Hab and why am i looking for him now?

 

[HollaAtchaBoy]

Everytime I watch Better Off Ted or Arrested Development, I cannot help but think to myself...

Man, Ellen Degeneres gets to go home every night and hit THAT?

 

[VideoKidHEERO]

Who is Hab and why am i looking for him now?

I wake up asking myself that same question each and every morning.

Lol @ Mogwai hating that ending scene.

 

[SEXY]

^that does not help my quest :-)

The medal ceremony was absolutely necessary at the end of Star Wars

how is that NOT an epic ending?

this is the special edition version. die a horrible death.

btw that scene is goofy and dumb (but harmless)

lol truth

 

[HollaAtchaBoy]

There is no good reason for Ellen to get a woman who looks half as good as Portia de Rossi, unless than woman is a gold digger.

Still, power to her. I'm envious of a lesbian with a talkshow.

 

[toasty]

Oh god...Portia...

I keep looking for a picture of her to make into an avi...and yet it's impossible to choose @_@

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

Her in the Shemale shirt

 

[HollaAtchaBoy]

HEY GUYS

PRETTY IMPORTANT

To all my CCSU heads, if any of you are coming on Friday, I'm letting you know ahead of time. If you have any foils from Zendikar block (Zendikar, Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi) that you do not care about, PLEASE donate them to me, as I use them to make foil proxies.

 

[Hazygoose]

all mine are in oklahoma, hab
but i stopped playing a long time ago anyway. maybe i'll snag them when i'm home and come give my decent cards to some lucky peeps next semester, if i can even find them in mah closet.

 

[HollaAtchaBoy]

Sexual favors, Hazy?

 

[ZoSo]

Ryan, I agree that Avatar probably gets a lot more scrutiny than it otherwise would because it was such a blockbuster, but there are still a lot of, in my opinion, completely valid criticisms to be made of it. I agree with most of what Wes said, tbh.

Seb, I agree that not every film is going to change lives, but does that mean we should give mediocre ones a pass just because that's the way it has to be? Sorry man, but I can't really get behind that line of thinking.

Also, I watched the first two episodes of The Walking Dead last night. Thought they were pretty fantastic. Definitely will be tuning in on Sunday.

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

I thought it leaned really heavily on archetypes and cliches... but none of the dialogue stuck out as bad to me, and I thought the action, design, and effects were strong enough to make up for the unoriginal story. It's certainly not a modern classic by any definition, but people treat it like it was the worst piece of **** they've ever been forced to sit through, and I think a lot of that has to do with it's #1 place in all time BO.

 

[SleepyK]

BO stands for Booty Operations

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

#1 in worldwide Barack Obama

 

[HollaAtchaBoy]

#1 in all time Bolivia and/or Belarus, depending on your postal codes?

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

Bolivia > Belarus I mean let's be honest here

 

[HollaAtchaBoy]

Belarus curls a mean stone at curling.

And their hockey teams are pretty legit.

lol truth

W-WHATATAT how can you tell it's from the special edition? I rewatched the trilogy with a friend on dvd several months back after not seeing it in like a decade and it was the special edition, which ruined everything. ****ing random added cgi everywhere and the stupid singing alien in ROTJ and Hayden Christiansan's image at the very end aoshdauoshdughugf What did they add to this scene that wasn't there before? I can't see it

In all honesty, no, we should not give the mediocre ones a pass. But on the other hand we shouldn't be so harsh on them as if they are as awful as the REALLY big pieces of **** out there. There should be a middle ground I think, where we can just enjoy movies like this and not worry about flaws that don't ruin the picture.

Funny story. When I first met thumbs I thought he lived in CT cause he posts in this thread.....he thought the same of me.

Did you see them when they were released in theaters? I was in high school and so ****ing excited to finally see them on the big screen. And then Lucas diarrhea'd all over my eyes. Can't wait for the Special Editions to be re-released in theaters in 3D >_> ugh

Anyway I think it's the SE because in the original if you look close you can see cardboard cutouts of people in the crowd, and in this one they are all "human" (cgi doubles) and even sway back and forth to prove they are human even if they way in the background.

I don't even know how to agree with this more.

thissssssss

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

Some of the changes are outstandingly bad. Jawas acting all goofy in the background of Mos Eisley, the CGI musical number in Jedi, Greedo shooting first. Seriously what the **** was he thinking?

 

[Mogwai]

yea, the Special Editions were offensively bad. was there a single positive change in any of them?

 

[toasty]

The rage is similar to what I experience when watching Anchorman on DVD.

Or the Director's Cut version of Tropic Thunder. [which is typically the only version available for rent, making me look like a complete tool when I say it's one of my all-time favorite movies because people who didn't see it in theaters don't know better...actually yeah, same for Anchorman]



@Mogwai:
Ummm...the frame of the snowspeeder's cockpit was no longer slightly transparent when viewing from the cockpit?



...that's all I got >_>
