Your statement is incorrect.

Subjectivity is a weakness.

All things can be determined to be empirically good or bad.

Please refrain from inserting personal opinion into statements regarding art and media and follow FM32932-A4 "Objectivity, your guide to to being an impersonal person".

So much or blues bros is the 80s

I mean how relevant is any of it now

Well aside from poverty lol

Big gubmint oppressing Christian faith.

Crown Vic best car ever!????

an unbeatable folk hero with a Death Star and the Emperor of Humanity respectively

gawwwwwwwwd

I found a fair bit (by no means a majority) of the humour in Blues Brothers is funniest to musicians themselves- mind, even the premise of the movie is extra-hilarious to musicians or close frineds thereof.

Mind, that's all anecdotal, so YMMV and it really can't be held as proper debating evidence.

Subjuctive analysis of subjuctive reactions. Is that as far from SD.net as a thing can possibly be?

Yes. And the sad thing is that it's mostly by acknowledging the existence of subjectivity to begin with, because for the most part SDN doesn't allow for such a thing, championing almost everything they state as an objective fact. For them, the simple fact of the matter is that Star Wars is objectively better than Star Trek and is objectively going to beat it in an epic 'Imperial Smackdown'. And objectively all religious people are homicidal nutcases only inches away from screaming bloody murder and blowing up an entire bus full of innocent people in the name of [insert deity here].

It gets to the point where SDN's opinions become, in themselves, objective. Which is defined here as distinct from actual objectivity (or, for that matter, objectivism). Look at the reactions to the latest Star Trek film, James Cameron's Avatar, the Star Wars prequels, and the hard science fiction worship. People are objectively saying that Trek '09 was a horrible film, objectively saying that Quaritch should have bombed the Na'vi from orbit, objectively saying that Red Letter Media's review sucked and that the prequels were semi-decent, and objectively championing the strengths of hard science fiction.

Shep knows the furreners killed the Crown Vic


also elfiedart admitted in the Ralph McQuarrie memorial thread that he was a big influence on what made Star Wars great

i'm sure that hurt him to say that

Ralph McQuarrie died?


damn

And it was brought to my attention yesterday that John Williams is like 80, so yeah...

hang in there buddy

Who?

Ralph McQuarrie was the artist who design much of the look and feel of the original Star Wars movies. Everything from starships to costumes were all things he had a hand in.

John Williams composed the soundtrack.

Did he have a hand in the PT? Ralph I mean, I know who williams is.

No that was some other up and coming LucasArts or LucasFilm artist guy.

The new guy caught some slack for not designing the Naboo Starfighter with a proper R2-D2 slot. If you notice, the slot isn't wide enough to account for R2's legs so the guy said that R2's whole neck extends like six feet just to poke out of the top

lol

well obviously r2-d2 can collapse his body as necessary to accomodate smaller structures

lol this was the cover image too

It looks like they'd have to rip his head off for that to work.

you think someone would have said something before they built that full sized prop for the set but oh well

props to the artist for filling the Naboo Starfighter with WW2 airplane junk

I'm pretty sure that was just him being his usual obnoxious self. I wouldn't worry about it too much since he's just looking for attention.

lol great post there

at least the mod had something to say abuot it for once



i'm not even j/kin tho, tapes don't bother me in the slightest

indeed i'm one of those assholes who resisted the dvd thing since i don't see wat the big benefit is about

and i still dont



i watched the blues bros on dvd yesterday

and i complained about aspects of the film but you wanna know what the worst part of the experience was?


"that operation is not permitted by this disc"


what the fuck


so i just wanted to watch the movie

that i paid for btw; i own licensed the 25th anniversary edition dvd thing

but it made me sit through like 5 minutes of ads

srsly what the fuck



that shit never happened with vhs

oh there were ads but you could always fast forward

and even rewind to the feature presentation so you never see them again


and a tape never forgets its place

you can come back to it years later and not have to fast forward to get to where you left off

and they don't get scratched

nor do they have those useless fuckign animated menus


its a superior format

deal with it




anyway yeah tape quality is adequately fit

Your rant reminds me of the following infographic: http://i.imgur.com/GxzeV.jpg

so mark just called me and said nick jr. has a THE FRESH BEAT BAND compact disc

i've been waiting forever for this

i'll purchase it



so first it wants me to dl itunes

fuck that noise lets try amazon


oooh a physical disc

but i'd have to pay shipping

and they have an mp3 version


let's try that


payment info etc all normal

... wait what the fuck is this

"download the amazon downloader"

jesus christ i have a fucking downloader

its called a web browser

just give me a .zip of the shit or something



god damn it

but at this point they have my money so i'll play along

click


they don't have a version for my os

fuck it give me the windows version i'll just switch computers



so this thing finally downloads and then it says "click here to complete the purchase of somethign completely unrelated"

what the fuck


so close that shit out and i go back to "my account" figuring surely it will be there


it offers to buy again but not to download


christ if i knew this was how it'd be i would have just paid the motherfucking shipping



anyway i switch back to the linux computer.... and now it offers some new download link so i'll hit that

yay a file

copy it to the windows computer and open it


finally the actual files download.......


and insist upon being in itunes, the thing i went to spamazon to avoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


FUCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK



so this stupid thing opens itself and starts hassling me about updating it

fuck you, you ugly apple piece of shit


but after a minute of waiting for it finally the purchases are there


i select all

copy


move to my linux computer's file window

paste



oh thank god finally copying the actual files




and after all this shit, i have regular .mp3 files




now why the fuck couldn't it just be "click here to download your things as regular files" right after payment?



it makes me cry



well i'm never doing that again

Man complains about iTunes

Then encounters

THE ALTERNATIVES

one time a few years ago i bought an mp3 on line

and it just gave me a download link direct to the mp3


that's all i want

i buy an album once in a blue moon, and that page gives me a link to download individual tracks, or a zip file with all of them
