I really want Indy 5 to be good, I want that character to get a proper send off so badly, it can't end on a sour note like Crystal Skull.
House of the Dead is great fun, I've always enjoyed that movie.

You know, the way Nostalgia Critic and the rest of the cast outright REFUSE to address everything that left a bad taste in everyone's mouths or the sheer loopholes in logic like he pinpointed in his After Earth review, I have a feeling that;
A) Disney knows Nostalgia Critic's pull with the demographics they are trying to sell to, so they paid them off to -not- say anything bad about TLJ
B) They're very normie themselves when it comes to Star Wars, having only consumed the original 6 films in the mainstream and not aware of the bordering on-nigh-autistic levels of fandom who know the difference between an ARC-170, a Z-95 Headhunter, an Incom T-65 X-Wing, and a StealthX.
C) They know of the "toxic" fandom and just cucked out and took a non-offensive route, which by all accords, doesn't reflect well on his previous reviews which actually mattered, like the way he picks apart the Dragonball Evolution, Avatar, Judge Dredd and Demolition Man reviews.
Nostalgia Critic is a 80/20 hit-or-miss guy in terms of content, he's not immune to being the very unfunny things he lampoons, but when he offers up his well-thought observation and puts in valid objective thought into his opinions, he REALLY hits the point home. Case in point was a huge miss in the entirery of his take on The Wall, but his critical observations between the two "ITs" and using Joker as a next gen successor who's lost between them was surprisingly clever.

Sorry to go seemingly off-topic, so here are images from a series I have fond memories of; Star Wars Legacy:
This is Cade Skywalker, basically what Rian Johnson wishes he could do - a character who turns his back on his responsibilities and his great legacy because of something traumatic which he had to endure, and having to grow up as a runaway amid pirates and outlaws, taking drugs to keep the ghost of his family lineage away:
This is Darth Krayt (Don't laugh, he's named after the Krayt Dragons of Tatooine, Komodo-like beasts which are fucking badass. Darth Krayt is even more fucking badass when it's shown his journey parallel to the actual films and events of the EU), who seeks to reinvent the Sith but is seen beset by misfortunes despite being a driven and determined individual in his view of the Dark Side... sounds familiar... dark warrior which has connections from the past *cough*#whatSnokewisheshecouldbe*cough*
Just a reminder that Disney threw all this out while making fun of us for being NUUURDS.

No way I am watching that. I'm not saying TLJ is anything like a competantly made movie, but there's no way in hell I can take any criticism at face value from somebody who has proven himself to be one of the most incompetant, self-indulgent assholes to ever commit anything to film.

They will never reboot the ST. They will just write a new trilogy and hope they'll get it done that time.
Funny thing is, with the way how IX shapes up, we can assume that there can't be any Jedi going forward. They'll most likely bring them back with some asspull, but technically, if Luke was the last one and Rey becomes a Hermit, where do any Jedi come from in the future?
Most likely some female Jedi Master will have hidden somewhere and rebuilt the Jedi Order while Luke failed with his attempt.
SW will become marvelized with shitty quippy characters and obnoxious humor and no character writing whatsoever. But they will never reboot the ST, they will just shit out movies barely based on SW and that's it.
Palpatine: "I will kill you."
Rey: "Are you threatening me, Sith Lord?"
Palpatine: "The Force will seal your fate"
Rey: "I am the Force!"
Palpatine: "Not. Yet. wait, this is oddly familiar"
*Rey unzips Light sabre and corkscrews into Palpatine*
It is very jarring to watch NC's review when you hav watched Mauler, E;R and so on... they have something to say and analyze the movie, showcase what works and what doesn't. NC just makes fun of some things, but usually, not in a particularly clever way and he has absolutely nothing insightful to say about this movie.
He doesn't even aknowledge the most glaring and problematic fuckups, such as Lightspeed Ramming destroying the whole setting or the completely botched narrative surrounding Luke trying to kill his nephew. He does make fun of both, but he mentiones in no way how much that fucks up everything.
Instead, we get some numbnut telling us we need the Force to evovle and that's why Luke's astral projection was totally fine.
Sure, the astral projection might be a neat addition to the list of Jedi abilities, but the way it was used is totally fucked and if Luke dies anyway, why not at least have him go to NotHoth to actually defeat his enemies- not just daydreaming about being awesome.

I just saw the final trailer for (i still can't fall asleep so take that in consideration along with having a bad day overall yesterday when reading the following) and i only feel one thing:
All-consuming cold rage at Disney, Lucasfilms and every scumsucking, mouthbreathing inbred retard that helped ruin Star Wars legacy, i just want to see the world burn in cleasing fire and everything and everyone evil die a painful death.
I can't take it anymore!

Been playing a lot of Empire at War, specifically the Forces of Corruption add-on. Having a lot of fun, What are the best mods for the game?

Thrawn's Revenge is pretty much a love letter to the post-ROTJ pre-NJO EU. Republic at War is the same for the Clone Wars.

I heard Awakening of the Rebellion is really good too. Does it have any problems?

It looks pretty good but I haven't played it enough to have a solid opinion on it. The next time I'm in an EAW mood though that'll probably be the first mod I go to.

I would pay money to see this movie.
E: Something just occurred to me: Channing Tatum has better comedic timing than literally anyone in the new trilogy.

Imperial Civil War is generally agreed to be the best. Good balance, an insane amount of references if you love the old EU, and they're adding influence, government and vassal state mechanics, something no one expected out of an Empire at War mod. I never thought I'd be excited to play the cheesier and less known warlord factions like the Eriadu Authority and Maldrood, but they made them unique and fun.
The same people who did Imperial Civil War are releasing a Clone Wars mod, but if you can't wait a couple months for the 0.5 version of that, I'd recommend either the Clone Wars 4.0 mod or the Republic at War Submod. Those are probably the best Clone Wars mods currently, but they're still janky and have issues.
Sadly, no full mod for the Vong yet. There's a submod for an older version of ICW, called NJO, but it's missing a lot of the fun mechanics from the newer releases and looks really outdated. A full Vong mod is supposedly in development, but it's mostly vaporware at this point.
As for OT mods, Awakening of the Rebellion and Phoenix Rising are your options. Personally, I don't think the mechanics of the game lend itself well to the OT, and both of those mods are far too technical for my tastes, but they do exist.
Any of the other mods, like Battlefront Commander, are usually full of balance issues, stolen assets, tons of bugs, etc so I'd avoid them for the most part.

I confuse Channing Tatum with the other guy from 21 jump street. Is he the shorter one? if so, I love the idea of a fat short guy in Maul face paint being the protag. I also want to see Jar Jar completely decked out in bling and gaudy pimp clothing.
It will have the additional entertainment of Boll beating the shit out of his critics instead of just 'muh dick'

Some choice quotes from the Terminator: Dark Fate thread
How well does this bode for TRoS' box office this Christmas, or Star Wars in general?
Oh by the way, our good friend Itchy Bacca chimes in on Dark Fate in relation to Episode IX / The Rise of Soywalker:
Will Episode IX Be Terminated?
Does the box office bomb of Terminator: Dark Fate foreshadow the box office for Episode IX? Let’s explore this question a bit. So for those who don’t know, Terminator: Dark Fate is bom…disneystarwarsisdumb.wordpress.com

I know how you feel, what's been done to Star Wars and what's being done to our culture can only be described as evil, this goes beyond just being a bad movie.
I don't think anyone would have described what George did with the Prequels as evil, a disappointment sure, but not evil, because at the end of the day the movies were not mean spirited, something like The Last Jedi was just mean spirited.

I see what you're saying, but I think its more of an inverse thing.
Making a shitty star wars movie that intentionally shits all over 40 years of Star Wars media and its fans isn't evil or the downfall of western civilization or whatever.
What is concerning is that Disney, a wealthy corporation, gave $400 million dollars to someone someone who's movie pitch was "You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to subvert expectations and break some new ground, by just start shitting on everything star wars, including (and especially) the film that immediately preceded mine. No Star Wars film has done that. Also FEMINISM and diversity." That fact no one said 'Whoa, hold up here chief, maybe Captain Tumblr won't sit too well with our core audience, maybe we shouldn't actively try to piss off the core fans and directly insult them int he filrm', instead they went along with and they burned it down to try to refute claims of being unwoke or something...that's what worrying. the fact the people in charge so completely disconnected from reality, and have such a level of control.
or to put it a little more succinctly:
If you're on a cruise ship, You don't get too worried when you see some drunk pilot their boat over a waterfall.
You get a little worried when you see another cruise ship go over.
But you get much more worried when you hear the captain of the cruise ship you're on talking like the captain of the cruise ship that just went over the falls.
Re: Marvel Star Wars
Star Wars isn't meant to be "serious" but it IS meant to be played straight; its operatic melodrama the opera in "Space Opera" isn't because they're singing. This is why you have Alec Guiness wondering where his life went wrong, and putting up with Cushing going around the set in bunny slippers - you need your characters to have gravitas, you need to believe they believe this space wizard shit matters.
Comics were always a lot less serious, more about action and what's happening on screen right now, and more relevant to the time they were created, so wacky zingers and 'modern' jokes work better. Superheroes are supposed to be about what you could do if you had powers.
Star Wars is about a whole other world, a galaxy far removed from what's going on with your life. Yo momma jokes don't work there.

Do you know what Disney is doing while they're shitting these awful movies out?
Preventing public screenings of old classic movies and ending the production run on old movies. All the Fox back-catalogue, specifically. Predator, Princess Bride, and so on. The reason is obvious: They don't want people to have access to these and instead want you buying their overproduced trash. There's multiple venues who wanted to have theatre showings of old movies, and Disney went nuclear to say no.
Strange how these things seem to coincide, no?
