Star Wars 7 shit talk

I think the standard for criticism should be higher than "that took a lot of time." Smacks of "that guy had too much free time, right?"

well exactly

How about this: it took someone a whole lot of time to produce something that's kinda neat but ultimately really boring, and which 99.99% of people will never finish beyond the first few scrolls.

So it's like a self-published ebook that you give away for free!

If someone can get some animated-SVG AT-ATs going at some point I'd take that.

Tuomas just described most ilx threads

tuomas just described my phd thesis

he described the OPPOSITE of my college noise band "greatest hits" collection, though

i'm going to make one of these infographics that, as it scrolls, tells the story of my penis

Serious question, can you read?

serious question, have i insulted you personally on one of these threads? i feel like you are following me around bullying me. you seem weirdly invested in calling me an idiot at every opportunity.

yo AB, throw "CHEWBACON" on that and you've got yourself something that might go viral even faster than dude's laborious scrolling star wars graphic

I might like the infographic concept more if it were applied to a different movie. Star Wars is so trampled at this point that things like this stop being impressive.

or like... across the top it could say "CHEWBACON SAYS..." and across the bottom it could say "LET THE BACON WIN." i dunno just spitballing here, don't spend too much time on it.

yeah, that's fair jmm. i mean it'd be cool if you really felt like it was being used analytically to reveal something about the movie's structure or pacing or density of dialogue versus silence or something like that. like the author realized woah there's this crazy thing going on in movie X and this was the best way they found to depict that. instead it's just fanart for the illustrator cartoonoid generation.

I'm not interested unless we can get a shitty mashup tshirt design out of this

closed the chewbacon tab immediately, as if it contained The Entertainment

There's totally a reference to Arrested Development in the scene with the Rathtars. "This was a mistake!" "Huge!"

"This bounty hunter is my kind of scum - fearless and inventive."

i rewatched this tonight at home with my kids who hadn’t seen it since it came out in the cinema i.e. many lifetimes ago. they both remembered and dreaded the scene where han dies.

at one point my younger son (8) goes “why are they called the first order now?” and in reply his brother (10) says matter-of-factly “they changed the name when disney bought it”.

otm

just the sheer ballsiness of this one almost makes me want to get it

I would wear that, fuck the haters.

yeah that’s kinda great tbh

i don't like being "meta" in my clothing, so i'm passing but i would certainly appreciate it if i saw it out and about

oh well i noticed this was up for sale just now too as part of their new drop:

reader, i got both. i am a consumer lump.

It just occurred to me that I can no longer remember anything about the plot of this movie. I remember a few moments in it -- Rei walking on walls or something, a basement scene with a diminutive creature and some kind of magical memory awakening, images of middle-aged leia and han, Adam Driver yelling, John Boyega breathing a lot, Oscar Isaac maybe crashed? Or was that John Boyega?

awkward co-parenting scenes with Han and Leia

I'll give you a hint about the plot: it was exactly the same as A New Hope

Oscar Isaac and John Boyega stole a tie fighter, which was the best part of the movie imo

That and the magic bread-puff

this movies biggest/only legacy in my household is the line "ONE QUARTER PORTION""

Magic bread puff was actually a practical effect I think! They inflated it from below.
