The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

KMC SWVF = lacking in opinions.

I like how so many people are rationalizing the characters and plots, when we really shouldn't have to. I'm all for speculation and extra-film sources to expand the universe, but the movie alone should be showing us the characters' traits and thoughts. The PT more often has to tell us what those are, or doesn't at all. The fact that we need to sit down and do the rationalizing and listing of personalities is pretty sad.

Direct me to a popular movie that didn't generate disagreement, rationalization, and speculation regarding characters, dialogue, and plot and I'll give you a cookie.

Ben Hur. Clearly, no one was rooting for the Romans.

Which is more than a little amusing, given how much you hate it when someone is flippant to you. Don't let Raynor's utter annihilation of Plinkett's arguments get to you, my son.

Raynor's arguments are credible and are hardly the result of sheer fiat. He does a much better job drawing from the source material than Plinkett does.

This shit is funny. And sad. But mostly funny. I like how Palpatine 'oozes confidence and power.' Very poetic.

You mean because he draws things from the source material that isn't even there?

My opinion is that I am within a stone's throw of a completed DotOR system and therefore need players.

I'd be up for it Zam but I'll probably bail halfway through again.

btw sorry bout that Janus.

I'll play. Dario needs a legacy. I've already decided to include his heir in TOR.

Congratulations, you finally grasp the true nature of Plinkett's reviews. They are comedic by nature, not insightful.

I'm not even sure if you know what you're trying to get at here. mmm

No worries. Your char was pretty uber I must admit. Too bad none of us had staying power.

(Insert innuendo here)

I just found it funny. Though I must agree with him. A guy in a cowl whose face is obscured definately oooooozes confidence. And the performance in that scene was utterly convincing and in no way makes the words 'oozes confidence and power' unintentionally hilarious.

EVERYTHING?

Spoiler:
Mainly the Padme stuff. Some of the Qui-Gon stuff was incredibly reaching. The Obi-Wan stuff. The Anakin stuff.

Gid, give us your reason on why Phantom Menace is a good film. Not a good addition to the mythos, but just a good film in general.

TOR like, subscription fee TOR?

Yep.

Obviously it was the epic character development and direction.

Also windows.

Without using "Sidious", "Palpatine", "Chancellor", "Dark Side", "Sith", and "Force".

If you're only reading because you seek confirmation of what you already believe, you're just wasting your time. I was under the impression that, rather than hypocritically mock the thing, you'd read it with an open mind.

facepalm
