If I do prison, do I come out with a criminal record at the end of it? If I do, then front lines. At least if I come back I can take advantage of the sweet military discounts, broken women who only date military men, and random weirdos thanking me for my service :911:

Happens more than you'd think, too. I was wearing my old camo pants today because I had a 9 hour receiving shift with 5 truckloads of furniture so I wore the worst old poo poo I have. Between pulling skids of tables off a truck just had a random customer on the loading dock ask me the usual questions and thank me out of nowhere.

War without a doubt. Not only is "front line service" not always on the actual front line but after your term is done you get benefits and poo poo. The only thing you get out of prison is the inability to ever get a decent job again.

Any movie that people have to get this deep into to defend why it was good, is not a good movie.

Hottest take: the fact that there are so many is more of an indication of how retarded literally every star wars fan in tyool 2017 is. Especially when you consider how loving bad they all are

Some stores do a cool million a day during peak. Granted, most is with credit card sales but still plenty of cash purchases especially if they have a hot food area.




Edit: that was 10 years ago, they probably lost a lot of physical media sales (cds, dvds) since then

Hot take, Star Wars is fun as hell and if you were 7 and seeing all the films re-released, and you were 9 and seeing trailers for a BRAND NEW loving STAR WARS FILM that you didn't see coming and then you had the Taco Bell tie-in poo poo before you got to see space road racing and backflips with lasers and poo poo, you absolutely enjoy it for what it is, which is an event, y'know, like New Years or whatever.

It's not a loving Lars von Trier film that you have to parse, it's Star Wars. It either sucks because it went too far up its own rear end or it rules because it had Yoda with a lightsaber or a sarcastic battle droid, or it was okay like Return of/ Last of the Jedi and you had fun.

Now Batman films, those are serious business.

I was complaining about media types who keep running Trump voter profiles and worry so much about having a liberal bias that they slide right into a conservative bias. Not sure how this became about the Dems or "the Resistance."

Also I wasn't saying Prometheus was a brilliant movie, it's sort of like Starship Troopers where the satire/camp isn't handled correctly so most people miss the mark. You can appreciate it if you go in with the right expectations though.
