  1. You aggys are the real deal. The way to committed to the b12 conference only to run away the following year to escape the shadow of Texas and achieved.... um... was so different than how Texas and OU left the conference with every school fighting tooth and nail to keep them in as long as possible... yeah.. I wonder why that played out like that.
  2. Haha. Tell her you don't appreciate her misappropriation of Alanis Morissette. He already got paid prior to joining the court.
  3. Surly motto?
  4. I don't think I ever noticed Flea was in that video before. I think I only remember the girl on the stairwell and the stop sign shorts.
  5. Not necessarily, the annoying philosopher type can work, the angry hermit (Jolee from the KOTOR game) works as well. Yoda came off as not so wise. Kai al Mundi was an idiot. Luminara was haughty. Mace was an asshole. The old lady who ran the library was kind. Cera went weird. Kal Kestis and Kanan were good with the latter being both a father figure and one of the most heroic even if he lacked the skill. Ezra was a punk kid.
  6. I think the first white males were the criminals. Overall, it didn't feel like Star Wars. The Jedi Master dying to a knife/deception was stupid, after all the posturing, and self-proclaimed assassin trying to pick a fight and pulling out weapons, trying to grab at your weapon just seemed off But whatever. The fight looked more Matrix-y and the CGI enhanced fight looked awkward at times. Maybe it is just me, but I just don't care for fight scenes as much as I used to and find them often a bore/repetitive. The set were fine but something I can't quite place my finger on seemed off. Maybe too clean? Too cramped? But I think the main thing is that the characters are all kind of unlikeable/boring. The Jedi Knight who keeps igniting his lightsaber for no reason. The Jedi sanctuary which has a robot guard with a metal head shield which was coaxed out of its resting place only to have a charge placed on the otherwise outside facing shield top (why bother coaxing it out then which was then bypassed multiple times later in the show through the open roof courtyard rooms? Also, if the assassin barely beat a Jedi with a trick and with weapons after getting schooled in physical combat by jedi that refused to bring her lightsaber to bear, why would the assassin think she stands a chance against another one? Clearly, she was overmatched in physical combat, why then go after or be sent after another? None of the Jedi can detect a disturbance at all? None of them have force pull/push to just hurl an opponent against the wall and hold them there/or disarm them like Vader would? Ultimately, I think the main issue comes back to a lack of compelling character development. They are about as flat as the motorcycle gang in Book of Boba Fett.
  7. So when Digital Underground says "I'm the one who said just grab 'em in the biscuits" how does this make sense? Or is this like "you be illing" from RUNDMC and Eazy-E's take "Bored as hell and I wanna get ill." where the regional context may have lead the slang to be used in two different meanings depending on how it is said, or where it is said. Clearly, I need David Foster Wallace type essay on this.
  8. 11figure compensation package? If anyone votes yes, they are either corrupt or moronic. No CEO is worth 9 figures.
  9. Didnt happen when Critical Drinker shit all over the Predator Hulu movie, only to be completely wrong. He even reversed course. But shitting on something from the sidelines is easy and safe. That’s why it is so common.
  10. Nice sidewall grip tires. I am sure they will be put to the test.
  11. ALEC
  12. Yeah this one hits close to home. My wife's version of a dialog is a combination of people interrupting one another now. I am not sure when or why this changed.
  13. You are too stupid to understand how legitimate they are.
  14. [mention=143]atomheartbevo[/mention] not sure I buy that the Russian people will find anything unacceptable. If Putin called them the master race, Russians wouldn’t even notice. @Sawbones not sure they would care if women were conscripted. They would just bring up how they were the first to put a woman into space, and how their women are better fighters than western men. They would drop tradition for Putin. They dropped everything else.
  15. I have a bad feeling this is going to be like Willow. I hope it doesn’t. I can overlook stupid shit to some degree (Flea-little Leia chase, not walking around the laser barrier) if they give me moments like the Vader-Kenobi fight/Ashoka-Gen. Anakin Skywalker scenes). Making Sabine shitty, Ezra being stupid/lame, Ashoka’s poor decisions, and Thrawn being stupid/lame, the map being stupid to solve, it was a little much and hard to overcome some of the better aspects, night sisters, baylon, gold/worn out armor.
  16. Mine? Well if that is what surly wants….
  17. I have known a few aggy Marines who actually served. They all seemed to gain some perspective and none of them acted like aggy was military school. That poster is 100% stolen valor.
  18. "We need to follow suit and take that lead." Cannot even complete a sentence without being a hypocrite.
  19. so brave of them to disassociate themselves with a movie 2 years later. I am sure they are forgoing $10s of dollars in sales.
