  4. Great shit and a solid contribution to the board, unlike my reply to it. Thanks.
  5. that's because they were unreliable pieces of shit Ever notice how, when you get a new car, you notice that car more? After we got my son's Gen 2 Tacoma, we noticed that there are Tacos everywhere... all the way back to Gen 1. They just... don't die. They weren't erased or cancelled. They were junked because they broke in expensive ways. Hell they broke in cheap ways, but were still more expensive to fix than the cars were worth.
  6. and 3. This isn't just lens coating. This is to power the whole thing. 4. They need enough to build another one of these fuckers a few years later. 😉

  12. Honestly, whether you're going highbrow or lowbrow, good writing and editing is crucial either way.
  13. No. Star Wars is deliberately pulp, lowbrow SF, as much as Star Trek is highbrow "ivory tower" SF. What Gilroy is doing here is showing that Star Wars can also be a vehicle for a more intellectual form of storytelling, just as Nick Meyer proved in The Wrath of Khan that Trek can be top-tier pulp adventure. But pulling it off is difficult. Fuck up, and you get the fan reaction to The Last Jedi (or, in the Trek universe, Beyond). And it's a lot easier to fuck it up than do it right.
  14. I saw that. https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap/_/gameId/401695443 He had a bad day.
