Not to mention, I DID say I was pressed for time and wasn't willing to write an entire thesis explaining to you people why I don't like a shitty movie. Why should I obliged to do that? SW fans are so entitled and childlike.
I mean you were the one that quoted me first trying to argue but okay it's your world I guess.

People partaking in this clown craze should be arrested for disturbing the peace.
In my state at least, you can get some serious charges for it

It still doesn't make any sense and was a cheap way to pull some drama in. Explain how then. Coming up with something at the last moment (assuming this is true) doesn't automatically make it bad. Movies should stand on their own. That's stupid. Then you seriously need to start watching some more movies, and not just what's popular. I can think of HUNDREDS of movies that have morally ambiguous characters and themes. It's not that hard to look if you've actually seen some movies in your life. Why don't you name some then. You're probably just going to start naming movies that have some grey characters, which isn't what I was saying. Yes... I have. Even if your complaints were valid, thinking a plot twist was cheap seems like small potatoes compared to having several plot holes, one dimensional characters, a messy and convoluted story, or a complete lack of originality like some of the later installments have.

I'm pressed for time right now because I have a project to finish and other things, so I'll have to come back to this later if I still care to talk about it. In short, it's boring as fuck. It does nothing to make me care about anything that's going on. The Hoth battle is one of the most excruciatingly monotonous sequences I've ever seen in a movie, and it's fucking endless. The twist, while revolutionary at the time, simply isn't anymore. It comes across like a diabolus ex machina--I think I watched a documentary that revealed Lucas basically pulled that out of his ass. And it's very apparent, because it doesn't make any logical sense--it's just there for drama--which may have worked in the 80s, but is cheesy as hell today.
It also suffers in part from being too much of a predicate to ANH. In other words, it doesn't stand on its own very well.
Being a Star Wars movie certainly doesn't help, either. It's a dumb fairytale with black-and-white morality--just an inherently bad concept from the word go. The bad guys are bad because they're bad, and that's it. No effort by the original films are made to let the audience understand how anyone could possibly be """seduced""" by the power of the Dark Side. Blowing up planets because "lol we're so evil gaiz, we gon conquer da unaverse!!" Hmm. Yeah. Riveting.
So really, the whole OT is a pile of shit. I just hate Empire the most, because it contained so little entertainment value. At least Return has the best duel in the series--that I can say for sure.
Oh, but you know what DID explore reasons for why one would join the Dark Side? The prequels.
It seems like you're really reaching to hate on this movie. "The twist" was one of the most important influences on the plot of ROTJ and the entire series. Its not like it was just random and didn't go anywhere so I have no idea what the problem with it is. I've never understood how a movie "not standing on its own" is supposed to be a valid complaint in any serialized sequel. Is the Two Towers also bad because you need to watch Fellowship to understand it? The fact that it's too black and white, good and bad can not only be applied to all the other SW movies but pretty much every movie ever. I can't even think of 10 movies off the top of my head where the protagonists and antagonists are all morally ambiguous grey characters. The idea of being seduced by the dark side was done poorly but that's a flaw with Return not Empire. Return was the one where they should have elaborated more on Anakins fall to the dark side and have some sort of explanation for why Luke would ever want to become the emperors apprentice but that was never done. I'm not sure why you blame this on Empire though. I haven't heard you say anything about flaws with writing, characters, or story structure (things that actually make a movie good or bad) like the other Star Wars movies have numerous of. If these are the things that can ruin a movie for you, I'm surprised you like anything.

>people still unironically consider Empire to be the best star wars movie
this meme needs to die
ANH is the only one you can even make an argument that it is better. None of the others even come close.

There's literally nothing wrong with calling out someone making staged "social experiment" videos, especially ones fanning the flames to racial issues, and there's literally nothing wrong with calling out commentors for being mad about it.

Rogue One and all the future Disney Star Wars movies will probably be between 7 and 2. I feel like they have the formula for a good movie down but not any creative ideas.

Rank the Star Wars movies in order from favorite to least favorite and if you want add where you think Rogue One or any other future Star Wars movies is going to rank.

I liked Pence a lot more but he lost this one.
Trump was his worst enemy here.

It's like we're actually looking at politics now. I haven't felt this in a while.

To my knowledge, Jill Stein hasn't made any major gaffs, so that's... nice.

Changed my vote from Johnson to Clinton.
Not sure if I'll actually vote for her though.
Why the change?

What could we add to the marketplace that sites like Addictinggames, Kongregate, Albinoblacksheep, and Armor Games hasn't already?
This site might not be blocked on a lot of school computers. Seriously that's the only reason I ever went on any of those other sites.

But do they really want to be in conflict with us though? Are they actively acting out against us?
Iran is a regional power in an unstable region with major rivals.
North Korea is the pimple on the ass of the world. Israel

CNN A man carrying a rifle entered a Macy's store at a mall in Washington state, shot dead four women and a man, and vanished into the night, police said.
Authorities believe only one person fired the shots Friday night at Cascade Mall in Burlington, about an hour north of Seattle.

I haven't seen a very good segment from him in over a year.
Seems like Game of Thrones which started getting a bunch of emmys when the show went to shit.

Daily reminder that class thinks time is only a number on a clock.
He wasn't wrong in this particular argument though.

So this is probably really bad, but I could tell at a glance that he bought a Snow Wolf with a Mutation v2.
I should probably just kill myself.
I'll say
