How I realized I was over Star Wars completely

movies are cool. here is a place to talk about how cool they are. or maybe how much they suck, sometimes. like that fucking piece of shit 'mac and me'. worst fucking movie ever, a two-hour ad for fucking coca-cola.

Someone with better photoshop skills than me find the uncensored version of the "Smell the Glove" cover and put Carrie Fisher's face in it. I'd do it, but Microsoft Paint will only get you so far.

I don't remember which is the official version (or as official as a fake can be). A Google search yields a few similar but different results. If you can point me to the right one, I'll see what I can do.

I can't find the scene on youtube. Fran Drescher's character described it in the scene, but I'm not even sure if they showed the non-black version.

There are a few other covers that get shown for a second, like Shark Sandwich, but I'm pretty sure they don't show the non-black cover.
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

The Force needs frequent naps now that it is in the nursing home.

So there's this new Star Wars movie coming out next year...



I liked what little we see, but that lightsaber is stupid.

I might now be a little un-over Star Wars completely.

Please sign up Brad Bird to direct Episode IX.

I really think it looks like a cheap-ass fan film trying too hard to look like Star Wars and be clever. The round droid? The completely square landspeeder? That fucktarded lightsaber? Sorry, I know I'm going to be blasted as a hater, but my only thought is, "They erased Mara Jade for this shit?"

I thought the fake trailer had more of an OT feel to it than this did. I'm still excited though.

Shot by shot over-analysis of the trailer.
Contains rumored-spoilers.

CGI Falcon looks totally flat. Also the shot was crap. Awful angles and perspective.
Spherical astromech looks different for the sake of being different. That was half the problem with the PT.
TIE fighters could never fly that low without crashing. They can barely cope with zero G flight.
They've got a year to make this work as a movie and not just a CGI by numbers college project.
JJ Abrams produces shit. Devoid of feels. TPM may look like a masterpiece next to this. :shock:

Also the actor playing the villain isn't a real person, he's actually pieced together from leftover Gollum prosthetics donated by Weta Workshop.
I have never read any of your posts, but from what I can learn I should say that for people who like the kind of posts you deliver, they are just the kind of posts such people like.

The trailer didn't do much for me. The only thing in the trailer I thought was cool was the X-Wings.

Jargo is right. TIE fighters can't fly in the atmosphere at all. Unless I'm mistaken, TIE stands for twin ion engines, and those only work in space. Of course, this is science fiction, so I suppose physics can be tossed out the window.

Or, as SenorJabba would no doubt argue, 30+ years of technological refinement could've found a way to make TIE fighters atmosphere capable.

I don't know if I saw the fake trailer.
