It was about the effects of a financial transfer tax; they were in full "this will never have a negative effect, you're believing mainstream propaganda, also it's going to crash all the stock markets and bankrupt pension funds, and this is fantastic fuel for the revolution"

So do you also regularly argue the merits of biblical passages with street preachers or is there something about the tax code that inhibits your higher reasoning and impulse control?

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that anyone that says, “I love to argue.” Or “I’m good at arguments.” Or some variation thereof really means to say “I’m an oppositional poo poo head and you should avoid me at all costs.”

So I’ve watched Star Wars with my 6 year old for the first time. I did IV, V, VI first of course. It was a lot of fun, reading the crawl to her, watching her put together what “the force” means. She loved them, was blown away by Darth Vader telling Luke he was his dad. Princess Leia and Han Solo are her favorites—she died at the “I love you” “I know” exchange. She wanted more so we watched Episode I today...reading the crawl to her I knew it would be way different. loving trade disputes? She was like what the gently caress is a trade federation? I know TPM is poo poo, but I tried to enjoy some of it and it’s really, really bad. She was interested but totally lost. It’s the worst acting, the worst script. Her face during the midi chlorian poo poo—I’ll never forget it. I just pretended it didn’t happen. She didn’t even laugh when the camel alien farted or whatever, she was just confused. All during the movie she was like “uh so when does he become Darth Vader already? And who is that guy? What’s a chancellor? Why is that guy bad? How come the queen keeps changing clothes? Also she looks just like that girl. Why do they say roger roger? Vote of no confidence...huh? How do they understand what that stupid guy [Jar Jar] is saying? What planet is that?” Bad movie. Real bad. Phil Moscowitz fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Aug 18, 2019 |

The sequels are generally inoffensive. They’re just mediocre space action movies. Rogue One is genuinely good. Solo is more or less fine, whatever. But the prequels are all bad and boring.

Look Sir Droids posted:The sequels are generally inoffensive. They’re just mediocre space action movies. Rogue One is genuinely good. Solo is more or less fine, whatever. But the prequels are all bad and boring. Rogue One was probably the best of the Disney bunch, which is tragic, considering how much was left on the cutting room floor, and I think I've heard they did like 80% reshoots because it was "too dark" -- except being "dark" is why the movie worked. There are a few sci-fi romps that are kid friendly like Star Wars and deserve merit though, I was watching the Stargate movie with my nephew and forgot how good it was, he's only six and recognized the pyramids so thought that was cool.

Nerds keep saying well ackshawly The Phantom Pain is better than Attack of the Clones. They are both bad. But if I was forced to watch one of them, I would watch AOC (lol). There's just so much bad in TPM. gently caress the pod race.

Look Sir Droids posted:Nerds keep saying well ackshawly The Phantom Pain is better This is Pequod, Arriving shortly at LZ! Seriously looking back, the entire prequel trilogy was a mess, but at least TPM still used some practical effects and on-scene shoots and it definitely showed compared to Episodes II and III. I'm sure there is a reason movienerds can explain why sets and models hold up better than CGI and why CGI just can't seem to cross that uncanny valley yet.

The Phantom Menace isn't even really a part of the rest of the series - it stands alone and nothing that happens really affects the future course of events other than the twenty-something Queen grooming an 8 year old.

It shows how the Jedi were probably wrong about how great it is to brainwash children into emotion-suppressing soldiers, and how it's not a great idea to give corporations a seat in your representative government.
