Nothing is in a vacuum. Every look at Trump was in comparison to Clinton. Taking 10 months to figure out why you lost to me sounds like we dodged a bullet.
There has to be compromise. I agree with you so long as everyone has the ability to start their own site and not worry about being shut down by a few select over powered companies. (assuming only legal content)
Right now, you forfeit your ability to have a site if you say the wrong thing that a few companies may not like as stormfags showed us. Nobody owes you a phone line or access to a road didn't work why would it work now?
Seriously why do I have to wait three movies for some wannabe jedi to master the force? Cant we just get to the cool part of the story where the force is actually mastered and proceed to kick all the baddies' asses and have like 13 Siths die every minute?
IOW, bad story telling and more lens flare? Part of what made the originals good is because they followed the traditional story arch that has been used for millennia. There is conflict, struggle and triumph. Why would you care about the characters if there is no struggle? Part of what made TFA a bad story was that there was nothing to challenge Rey. Nothing for her to struggle against. In the originals, Luke consistently fails but through struggle and training overcomes those failures. Everyone alive today can apply those lessons to their own life. No one can identify with Ren (unless your a shallow sexist only caring about sex and race) because everything is handed to her through poor story telling. You can argue the same for Luke but you see him fail. You see him struggle and train to overcome those failures. You see him overcome his greatest challenge because of his past struggles.
Good story telling is much more about how you get to the ending than the ending itself.
Agreed there were things wrong with it ( Satellite not aligned annoying computer voice and only solution is across that rickety bridge overlooking vast scariness. the beginning did jump a lot), but overall it was a film I was wanting to watch again (unlike TFA). I also enjoyed the character archs of many in r1.
You didn't like the ending? I really liked it and it really played into what Edwards normally directs and I thought he did a great climax to the movie. Vadar was actually terrifying beyond reputation. The Death Star was majestic with the hopelessness it delivered on the horizon (that's no moon!). It was the darker side (no pun intended) for Star Wars that ESB initially started.
As far as the trope of people dying in reverse order of importance is to be expected with movies or storytelling in general. The idea is that you should care about those characters the most because you spend most time getting to know those characters. There has to be some relief after those kind of events. For R1, the entire climax was everyone died and the plans barely escaped but the empire seems unstoppable. The relief is nostalgia from ANH knowing that they didn't die for nothing. Honestly, that is something unique in movies I haven't seen very much. It's usually comic. (bad CGI dead actors be damned)
Any whoo. I am still deciding if I want to gamble on another JJ Abrams. He's like Michael Bay.
I would hardly say he beat the Emperor when it was Vader that made the killing throw. He refused to fight. Saying he beat the Emperor and Vader at the same time is just wrong. He beat Vader. He refused to fight Emperor. Vader has emotional break and betrays Emperor. Then they have roasted Ewoks for dinner.
I would argue that it is. Many come for the comments and discussions./. helps facilitate those discussions by having articles to start the conversations as compared to following specific people or accounts to hear what they have to say.

If companies can do anything they want like you allude. Why don't phone companies ban nazi's from their service?

Never had a state rep in your house, have you ?
Abrams directed Force Awakens. But Gareth Edwards directed Rogue One. Edwards normally directed monster movies in the past and in showed in Rogue One.
On a personal note, Rogue One was infinitely better to watch than Force Awakens.
Can't use Godzilla. That is cultural appropriation.
class envy. kek.
because pointing and laughing at peoples dumb decisions isn't a fun past time, anywhere.
quite the white knight, aren't you?
We are all winners if the goal is living in the parental basement.
Yep. Now, I will refuse to do business with them.... ohwait.
Yea. That one was worse because the potential to have finger print data as well.
Equifax Breach is Very Possibly the Worst Leak of Personal Info Ever so far.
lol, thanks for the giggle.
Would you be able to comment on emacs?
One mans shit is another mans fetish.
The basement is a cold and lonely existence indeed.
My apologies. Ima go take a shit. I will be sure to post pictures for those demanding proof.
