Re: [Official Thread] OBAMA WINS RE-ELECTION
Mitt's campaign needs to save face. This was an embarrassingly bad performance. How do you lose almost every swing state, with so many people convinced that Obama's the Antichrist? You offer up a lousy candidate like Romney.

Re: [Official Thread] OBAMA WINS RE-ELECTION
Great to see all the pro-Obama swing state projections being confirmed tonight. Romney, enjoy being a footnote in the history books.
Hmm, maybe the GOP will finally wake up and realize their bullshit ain't working. Nah.

Refuting Common Obama Myths
Link I saw this article today which stood out to me. It's really nothing new if you're knowledgable about things, but I liked it for how neatly it refutes several common conservative talking points. #1-3 dealt with trivial things like golf and vacation time, which is pretty small even if it's annoy...

Re: Star Wars: 2015
Exactly. We criticized the West End Games sourcebooks for years. Without checking, can anyone even name a single WEG author? Three million clones was stupid but not out of he ordinary in the EU. It was about the author elevating things into a feud, before immaturely writing lousy stories with an eye...

Re: Star Wars: 2015
Were there aged 1950s cowboy movie fans (REAL horses and gunfights!) back in 1980 when Lucas made TESB? Did they complain about his use of "fake" looking technology to cartoonishly animate his AT-ATs? Because as I said before, they could've filmed the Battle of Hoth with the same exact sto...

Re: Star Wars: 2015
People don't have to take my word over his. I stated my opinion and if nobody agrees with it then fine. But I AM going to call bullshit on the idea that he couldn't have accomplished some of the more important story elements from those films back in the day. For instance, take the battle between th...

Re: Star Wars: 2015
CGI is not the problem. Not if it's done well. But you have to admit that the AATs rolling down Naboo looked fake as shit. Better than stop motion Taun-tauns and AT-ATs. Yeah, I said it. It seems as though Lucas abused CGI simply because it was simpler to film everything on a green-screen than to a...

Re: Star Wars: 2015
A lava planet in ROTS wasn't "required," but NOTHING is truly required if you want to act like that. Avengers didn't require armored space whales flying through New York. Inception didn't require an entire cityscape to flip over in front of the characters. Avatar didn't require an entire 3...

There's going to be a Dark Side Force user involved; no SW movie has ever gone without a lightsaber duel.

Re: Disney to acquire Lucasfilm
I think people in general need to step back when talking about Star Wars and Lucas, because this topic always tends to turn into people loudly shouting about their subjective opinions and unsubstantiated "facts." Does box office equal quality? No. Is "quality" subjective? Hell ye...

Re: Star Wars: 2015
The Thrawn fanbase, such as it exists, is the SW fanbase. No SW fan is going to not watch this movie because Thrawn isn't in it. The EU is irrelevant. And I don't want them to pattern these movies after the Thrawn Trilogy. Thrawn might be considered a high point of the EU, but to be honest those boo...

Re: Star Wars: 2015
Now that you mention it, I very vaguely remember seeing mention of that years and years ago. I don't think it ever rose above the level of fan rumor. The only TV shows are the animated ones, and the written but still unfilmed Underworld.LadyTevar wrote:What happened to the proposed Rogue Squadron TV show?

Re: Disney to acquire Lucasfilm
I'm just glad that people will be able to approach these as their own movies (I hope). "I was 7 years old when my Dad took me to see ANH and it completely changed my life, I waited 20 years to get the same special feeling with Episode I but it just wasn't the same" is actually a common nar...

Re: Disney to acquire Lucasfilm
As for TPM 3D, it hardly did bad. It didn't light the box office on fire, but it did what any rerelease is expected to do (which seems to be 40-50 million, The Lion King being an extreme outlier). The movie was released on Blu-Ray just months before its theatrical rerelease. People have done the mat...

Exactly. Expanding on my previous example, I grew up with Batman: The Animated Series . I even liked reruns of the Adam West show when I was five years old. I don't care to watch the Schumacher movies. I freaking loved he Nolan films. I hear that a lot of the comics are crap, so I haven't touched th...

Re: Disney to acquire Lucasfilm
I'm really surprised as well that Lucas decided to sell. Everything I've read about him has suggested that he's a very private person whose protective of his films and wants to do things his way, apart from the Hollywood system. Also really surprised that they're already aiming for Episode VII. I ha...

Re: [Official Thread] 2012 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
If you think the Republicans are bitching hard now, then brace yourself if they win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote. They already perceive Obama as a fascist commie dictator. That idea would be greatly reinforced if they could actually say with certainty that the majority of the America...

Re: [Official Thread] 2012 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
While I'd like to see a more moderate GOP, I don't know if they would lean back toward the middle if they lose to Obama again. This will be a tight presidential election, and their much bigger loss in 2008 actually convinced them to become more conservative. FOX News, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, and o...

The exaggerations about Obama that the GOP has been allowed to get away with truly are amazing. The guy who surged troops into Afghanistan, pivoted US military forces against China, kicked Gadhafi's ass, and is continuing with plans to build an uber all-stealth fighter fleet "hates the military...

I'd be shocked if Obama "loses" this debate according to the polls. Mitt can't mount any real argument, or more importantly, any real disagreement against him.
