Re: The New Year Approaches.
Good morning!! Banning mouthy little punks from the facebook group sure is a great feeling. Makes me glad the forum stays nice and small and adult.

I can see that. Not sure when you tapped out. I had it running i the background for the first few episodes. It really didn't kick in until after he gets off of drugs.

Re: The New Year Approaches.
I like Star Wars for the reason everyone else does. When I saw it for the first time as a kid, it was fanfuckingtastic. It was the one thing EVERYONE had in common. At family gatherings we would all watch Star Wars. my friends and I would ride our bikes around in the woods pretending we were on Endor. I've loved it ever since then. I don't need to sit around and nit pick every single frame of the movies and critique them. I enjoy them simply because they make me happy. I may have had my issues with the newest one, but I still enjoyed it. For anyone to tell me I am stupid or not smart for enjoying it is ridiculous. Gallen is ridiculous. Also, I tried to watch Mr. Robot and hated it. It reminds me of a worse version of Fight Club.

I just caught the end of Pump Up The Volume and it amazes me how different his acting is. Lately he just seems as though he's doing a Jack Nicholson impersonation. but back then he was a real person.
I haven't seen him on anything in forever. he was on a show 2 or 3 years ago, and I really have no idea what it was about-even with him on it, I couldn't get into...whatever it was.

Christian Slater is Mr. Robot. (as near as I can tell. There could be a twist coming) He has put together a group of hackers intending to take down all the debt in the world. With everything digital they are going to wipe all the back ups and around the world, taking everyone back to zero. He infects Evil Corp (the company that globalized the debt process) and plants a virus that a guy who works for a security firm finds. He stops the attack, but leaves the virus, when he learns he's being recruited by Mr Robot.
The main story revolves around that, but the new hacker, does side hacks to help people. His therapist, is dating a married man, he hacks the guy and blackmails him into telling the truth. His neighbor is a dealer working for a scumbag, he hack the guy and get's him sent to jail. There is also a really twisted guy who works for Evil Corp. He and his wife are bent on making him CFO at any cost. He's fun to watch.

Nah, Just send him one of these and call it a day.

Isn't he over there talking about how TFA is "about on par with the prequels"?
I simply ignore the whole "Mary Sue" debate. I was satisfied that Rey kicked Ren's ass because she was simply acting as a conduit for the will of the Force. I am in favor of a very literal interpretation of the title.[/quote]
Plus...he was hurt. Shot by a crossbow laser thing that managed to kill everything else it hit, but just wound him. He was also crazy mad-we've already seen he has poor emotional control. He wasn't thinking clearly, he was just lashing out in the fight. I look forward to seeing the next battle when he is in top form and not so out of control with his emotions, and Rey has had some more training.

Batman is often poked fun at for being a genius expert in damn near everything to the point that no normal person could learn that much knowledge and be that young.

As for Gallen, I'm convinced that if Ep VII had been poorly received, he 'd talking about how great it was, just so he could stand apart from "the sheeple". He's the kind of guy that's easily impressed with himself.

I'm not sure it will keep my interest after this season. It's dark. I loved the Shield, but one depressing, anxiety filled episode after the next wore me down. I made it through the whole thing and went into Breaking Bad, but after one season of the same dark depressing crap, I gave up. I need some characters around to give a damn about. If they are all shitty people I just sit around wanting them all to get caught, or shot.
Go watch season 1 of Galavant. That'll get rid of all the dark depressing crap.

Re: Rey...she's clearly Force sensitive with a back story we have no idea about YET. So I have to assume that sometime in the next however many movies this is going to come out and her amazing abilities will make sense.

I don't want to do that...he has a right to his opinion, even if he's a prick about it. But that only goes until he becomes hateful to others.

I'm not a big enough nerd to dissect every frame of a movie to prove or disprove something. I enjoyed it. It had a nostalgic feel to it like Jurassic World did and was a fun movie. To expect to feel the same excitement I felt watching the originals when I was a kid is ridiculous. Star Wars was something I had never seen before and I was 11. Gallen's nonsense shows how much he has matured since he was 11. Or maybe he is 11. It's the internet.
