Wasn't that just because the MPAA would get on them if they said he was murdering children?

In other words the MPAA is fine with child murder as long as it's called something else. That does sound like them.

Hiding stuff behind the shield generators is a bad idea because in Star Wars space battles the shield generators are always the first thing to go. Logic dictates that the gravity machine be placed somewhere on the ship that's not protected by any shields whatsoever.

She's also said how the slave Leia costume didn't really do a good job of covering anything up while sitting down so she was constantly exposing herself to Anthony Daniels, since C3PO stood behind her in the Jabba scenes.

And she could always tell when he was sneaking a peek too, because she'd hear the metallic "plink" of his boner hitting the inside of the costume.

I remember reading that but in reference to Fisher not wearing a bra under her normal white Leia costume. He didn't want a bra maybe showing up through the material but to stop her from "jiggling", as she put it, the costume department strapped her breast back.

Agents of SHIELD is once again pushing a "powers are a curse!" storyline. As if there's a human alive who wouldn't be stoked to have badass superpowers. In fact any storyline in any media that involves someone exceptional just wanting to be "normal" is ridiculous since wanting to be special is something that's ingrained into the human psyche.

I wouldn't mind that kind of storyline if they weren't so contrived in order to make powers a burden. They'd work better if the powers had actual downsides instead of "man he can fly and have super strength but I guess he can't get a gf/bf because of it!"

Except getting hunted by government agencies is a pretty bad curse. What good is electricity manipulation or TK or "melt almost any matter" powers if that's your life? Only Superman and a few handful more are beyond that. Edit: Idiot disclaimer I know Supes is DC. If its marvel only that list goes way down.

To be fair, Daisy totally loves her powers and is 100% on the "Powers are awesome" train. Plus, Inhumans getting powers with really horrible side-effects has been a thing since forever. Granted, I say all of this not having seen the latest episode yet so it's entirely possible Daisy is suddenly hating her ability to vibrate a forest to pieces.

But he then realized he was wrong, the dark side was a "thing" and could corrupt a Jedi who tried to skirt the line between light and dark, so he abandoned that plan and fought Palpatine. You accidentally wrote Palpatine, even though he died at the end of Return of the Jedi!

I am extremely irritated by exorcism movies. I watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose yesterday and found myself going 'shhhhhhh' at the TV like an angry librarian whenever the non stop screaming got too much. I also find the whole screaming with a big mouth, contorting, speaking in Latin, scratching up the walls as though human nails can tear into wallpaper like a cat etc to be incredibly goofy. (I exclude the Exorcist from this because that is genuinely a good movie) I am also a massive hypocrite because I will watch any found footage film and totally get into it.

It just seems to me that if you are going to say some god-like thing is back on earth, have it do more than twist a girl's neck around and creep people out for a while. Also it seems like the exorcist is always a "questioning my faith" priest who falters at first but then finds it again just in time.

Yeah if I was an ancient evil I don't think I'd lay around all day loving myself with a cross in front of a priest. I'd want to get out in the world and do majorly evil things and shoot lighting out of my hands because. But they never have any actual powers that do anything and they just chill till the priest says the right words or whatever. Horror movies in general are pretty irrationally irritating.

If you look like a normal person and no one can tell you're not until you start levitating or whatever, then maybe just don't do that. Problem solved. I like that in more recent comics they have picked up on this, like there is a guy whose power is that he has eyes all over his body and I think he even has a few sour conversations with mutants who look like supermodels and have bothersome powers such as "controls the weather."

About the only movie that got the whole "evil thing on earth causing trouble" feeling right (to me)was The Possession. The dibbuk was supposed to be this evil gnome/imp troublemaker thing, and basically it wasn't like GALACTIC LEVEL OMEGA BAD DEMON DEVIL TRAPPED IN A WEE GIRLS BODY like 99% of the horror movies out there. It was just this creepy loving thing stuck in a wee girl's body that did mean poo poo that was little and not like, affecting the weather patterns of the globe or levitating or anything. Wasn't out for world domination or anything, just wanted to gently caress with people. I can't remember the movie off the top of my head, but the one with Anthony Hopkins as a priest was decent, but only because it had that scene where he was possessed and just pimpslapped that little girl who was wandering around. I can't get into the possession movies that much any more though. No matter how well the found footage idea is done, or how badly *COUGHthepyramidCOUGH* the idea that there is LITERAL PROOF OF LIFE AFTER DEATH or that GHOSTS ARE REAL or DEMONS EXIST would be blasted all over youtube the picosecond some weird poo poo happened. It's getting harder and harder to ignore that idea.

Not read comics in forever, but was that a Morrison run? I know I read one where some fish kid was lamenting the fact that he was a loving fish and for every Wolverine or Colossus you have some tub of gak with a central nervous system who can't do anything bar poo poo out pellets of salt. for a real life example the show "Undatables" started off showing how this dating agency would get kids with Down syndrome and facial deformities dates, but by season two they had handsome dudes on there who had nervous ticks and even worse a handsome albino goth who hadn't had a date in, shock horror, 6 months. Tell that to the fella whose lips are falling off his chin that, you bellend.

There's a Warren Ellis miniseries called No Hero where the process that makes superheroes goes spectacularly wrong and the newest recruit to the hero team ends up with no skin and his dick falling off. It doesn't do his state of mind or the team's public image any good. If you're gonna look for it, read on after issue 5 at your own risk, because as much as I like good old Warren, he completely lost his mind on this one.

I'm always reminded of this throwaway line in the original X-Men cartoon. There's riots, people hunting mutants, buildings getting wrecked and poo poo and this poor blue guy with freakish features and a big nose desperately exclaims: "I just look like this. I can't even do anything." I only saw it once, maybe two decades ago, and it stuck with me ever since.

To be fair, aside from the who government/evil organizations hunting you, that only becomes an option once you've learned to control your power. They always make a big deal of people not being able to help themselves and burn their house down, melt their best friend, whatever. I mean, as awesome as being able to fly would be, it would kind of suck to just float away one moment in class in high school, or turn invisible when you're stressed during a test or whatever.

That was one of the reasons I liked Heroes before the writing went completely to poo poo. Everyone who figured out they had powers had to go through this sort of "training" idea where just bad poo poo happened and they were hosed by it. The main dude flying out of his convertible, leaving his wife to get paralyzed in a car crash, the dude who got high as gently caress and did paintings of the future but had no idea what they meant, the power sponge guy who just picked up whatever random poo poo power people had when he was near them with no idea on how to turn it on or off. Powers seem like they'd be fun to have, but god drat if the cool ones wouldn't be a bitch and a half to figure out how to control em. Oh, you are suddenly really strong? Sucks that you found out when you went to pet your cat. You can control the weather? Suck that you got pissed off and caused a tornado that killed a few people. You can read minds? Good luck learning to turn that poo poo off.
