I watched Josée, the Tiger and the Fish tonight and it was a cute story that kept me entertained for an hour and a half. Loved that ending.

The whole point of speaking or writing is to communicate ideas. If you can understand the message then the grammar and/or spelling literally doesnt matter.

Language is also an ever moving target, which is why i can say “lmao” at grammar nazis and everyone here understands my exact sentiment through just four letters. But theyd be gibberish fifty years ago!

They know the difference but out loud “would’ve” sounds very similar “would of” so it slips into casual text sometimes

it’s not anything more than that

A real hellraiser


I watched a movie called Heart beeps last night starting Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters as robots who escaped a factory to try and raise a child. It isn't good but it was really interesting. Execs saw how popular C3P0 and R2D2 were and then gave Andy Kaufman a blank check to make a robots movie. It is boring for the most part and maudlin, but wholesome and looks beautiful. Has the youngest Randy Quaid I've ever seen as an employee at the factory sent to pick up the wandering robots. Has some weird stupid future stuff like instead of cans of beer they have bags of beer now like a Capri Sun pouch and a crotchety old guy like "Man I miss the cans"

They hadn't seen each other since he was 8, according to the film canon, right? At least, that appeared to be the insinuation. I'm pretty sure some of the comics and maybe a novel set right after TPM had the group of all of them still hanging out for adventures for a while, though.

Personally, I put this on Titanic.

Had that film come out a year earlier or never come out, Lucas's either wouldn't have put so much into Episode 2-3 as a forbidden love story to attempt to catch up to that film, or he would have aged up Anakin earlier in TPM and had some sort of romantic subplot stuff going on more than the "are you an angel," dialog.

Lucas should have included Padme, laying on a sofa, saying "Draw on me like one of your Tuskan girls..." Anakin then spends the next hour whipping out his lightsaber in different ways. (Not an analogy.)

Because spelling mistakes are one thing, you can usually see what they meant right away, but some of the grammar in here makes me have to read the same post twice and that is an outrage.

There's no reason to be snotty over occasional typos, especially in a world with autocorrect errors. But the only reason any of us are able to read even bad spelling and grammar is usually because good spelling and grammar are so ingrained in us that we're able to decode the mistakes with minimal effort and the correct parts without even noticing.
