is he dead yet

[PhantomCatClock]

I cannot get over how fucking great the scene in TLJ looked on Roommate's big ass tv, the one where they warp straight into a star destroyer

liked the last fight too but the rest was pretty gay

[PhantomCatClock]

also i forgot the name of it but the one where the star is Sexy Mexican Accent Man and it has Darth Vader cutting up nerds at the end is my favorite new one

I only "saw it" once but when it came out in netflix i skipped to that part a few times

[Slurpee]

the legacy of the characters from the previous movies. they went out of their way to turn the original trio into terrible/incompetent people and undo everything achieved in the original trilogy because "lol subversion". and not even in a way that lines up with who the characters are as people. they had no idea how to get from point a to point b they just ran right to it. they went out of their way to fuck them because "kill the past" or something. it's not stupid, it's subversive! IE what happens to everything rebooted nowadays, just with different details. except chewbacca I think. did they fuck him? I don't remember. I don't think you really could.

granted that's all more in the second movie of the trilogy, the first and third are just mindless fanservice and generally bad movies because jj abarams is an unoriginal hack. the side movies are just assembly line disney products and don't really mess with anything besides some minor canon inconsistencies iirc. rian "lol subversion" johnson tried to make something new and interesting instead of just fanservice but he failed at it, so it just felt like him taking a big steamy dump on the original trilogy which if interviews with him are to be believed, he didn't seem to care much for the originals to begin with. I have a feeling the issue was that he had scenes in his head he really wanted to see on screen but had no idea how to put the pieces together cohesively and make them make sense with the preestablished characters (happens to any writer really) and he was jumping in midway through a story jj had no ending to because he writes things using the "mystery box" format without knowing whats in the god damn box. remember lost? and also managerial fuckery. I guess you could blame all of this collectively on kathleen kennedy's ignorant incompetent management of the series, and by proxy disney corporate itself because if it wasn't her or them it would be some other dumb soulless suit.

and in the end none of this matters, not star wars not star trek not dr who not whatever cartoon they're making a new version of this week or any other franchise that's been fucked, because the older entries still exist in full and are mostly complete stories. also the fuckups are entertaining from the outside so at least some of us get something out of this. weirdos like me love to see shit burn and then burn the ass of the people who unknowingly set the fire.

except the rodeo chediski fire that wasn't quite as fun to see off in the distance, being an literal fire in my homestate afterall. I think some dumbasses setting uncontrolled fires in the woods. johnson and kennedy should be laughed out of the industry but those guys should be kicked in the balls at least twice a piece by every az resident who's house got burned down. I think one of em actually got away with it too.

ok, let's
assume I don't care about rian johnson for a second

because you didn't start from the assumption that rian johnson and kathleen kennedy were morons with stupid motivations, right?
like, you saw the movie first, and you were like "what the hell is wrong with these people?"

see this is the part I'm interested in:

they went out of their way to turn the original trio into terrible/incompetent people and undo everything achieved in the original trilogy

because a lot of people agree with you
and that's not what I got out of it, and I'm trying to understand what brought people to that

what was your experience with the movie? like, you're in the audience, luke's sucking on an alien cow titty, rey's walking through a hall of mirrors, benicio del toro showed up, people keep using the word "snake" for some reason- what's going through your head?

when does that penny drop? at what point are you like hahaha this is a fucking fiasco

does it have that moment, like when russell crowe first opens his mouth in les mis and you're like holy shit no way, or is it like face/off where it isn't until afterwards that you're like "wait... what the fuck?"

[Slurpee]

Oh, the bans...

[RobClock]

to be a pedantic fuck (because I am nothing without my preposterous obsession with a 14 year limbo-9 year dead franchise) the ban screen used Vertexguy's Duke Nukem Jam, a fan cover of Grabbag which was definitely heavily influenced by the Megadeth rendition but at some point supplanted it as the defacto version of the theme, even appearing in the official trailer for the Duke 3D XBLA rerelease back in 2008

someone please give me an excuse to keep talking about duke nukem

[PhantomCatClock]

did duke ever get his bubblegum back

did duke ever get his bubblegum back

Before gearbox sued the living shit out of nu3D Realms, they were developing Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction, which was a title that had previously been cancelled and therefore 3DR has maintained the rights to, since the GBX acquisition was for DNF and future titles. Except, that's not how that works, you don't just get to make a new game with the title from a game that was cancelled, which is why GBX sued nu3DR and 3DR lost the Duke rights altogether. Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction was then reworked into 2016's Bombshell, which came out pretty half baked and was immediately forgotten.

Anywho, to announce this new Duke Nukem game, 3DR put up a teaser website; AllOutOfGum.com which featured a countdown timer and blurred image with a 'Emergency Broadcast System' logo over it. This was the image;


So, as you can see, circa 2014, Duke had 5 sticks of bubblegum.

I meant Duke Nukem, not whoever you were talking about
