Did you know that eating vibroapples doubles the powers of Force users? I read it in a novel where an ordinary vibroapple farmer finds out he's actually really good at the Force. Through the power of vibroapples he defeats the similarly apple based bad force users.

Despite all of Jesus' promotion of God, I suspect they may be one in the same person.

pulling a long con

Yeah, that'll be... awkward. I can't imagine they'll be doing a whole lot aside from setting up the new lot of heroes.

Though I'd like to see Hammil do some actual acting. He was pretty good in Criminal Minds.

or its a godspiracy

you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain

Yeah. He claimed it was his and then took some guys into an auction house.

You're not the only one.

Fictional universes get rebooted. It happens. It's just as fictional as it was a week ago, but now a company cares a bit less about it.

No fucking way. I will give you all of my Star Wars figures if that's true.

Wait wait wait. Except Boba Fett.

I don't care how sure I am, I never risk the Fett man.

IMDb costs you a Fett

I don't see how one could balls up an Aliens game.

I know great FPSs exist, so isn't it just a matter of importing aliens?

The new show Silicon Valley is everything The Big Bang Theory pretends to be.

And it's glorious.

Chuck used to be interesting. But as time went on, it became clear that he was running out of interesting analyses and was just churning out product as people started paying.

He charges what, $50 a video? So for two to three hours work that's not bad.

People want to hear him talk about things they like, and hopefully validate their opinions by adding his authority.

By about chapter three I just... couldn't. Here's an example. This is GWB in his command post or whatever. Imagine him saying this. “Get word out to all our armed forces. Tell them to engage these, these things, at every opportunity. Shoot first, hit hard and keep hitting them. Let them know that we...

My most interesting essay was for a film class where I said that attempts to establish a film canon were ridiculous because the authority on which they rested was murky at best. So you've got me beat there pretty thoroughly.

i say that because it would be fun to see but i can't be arsed making it happen

So Hearts of Iron IV is going to be a thing in 2015. I am thus far indifferent. I really disliked HoI3 and had pretty much no fun playing it. It just...I don't know, but everything about it managed to rub me the wrong way. And I even got it after the Semper Fi expansion, so I didn't go through the ...

So it's likely he never actually saw the whole film before

Interestingly, Channel 9 (who had the rights to Robocop) used to be really good at showing unedited stuff after 9:30 or so. Channel Seven was like a butcher shop.
