  • Today is a good day because I managed to sleep until my alarm went off.  The last week or so I've been waking up 2 or 3 hours early for no reason...super frustrating.  Also, my jaw was not locked shut this morning, so that was good.

  • College production of Les Miserables... they did a really great job.
    "Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."
  • I WON CAMP NANO! SQUEEEE. 
    don't mind me, I've never won before.
    Mysrai, the Beckoner Beyond the Maze intones, "Continue to manifest the paradigm of working, My Alary."

    The Force has been released.

    John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join original stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in “Star Wars:Episode VII.”

    Disney and Lucasfilm made the announcement Tuesday.

    The plan is for a May 2014 start date so while a deadline wasn’t looming given how long the shoot was expected decisions needed to be made in case scheduling conflicts were to occur.

    In a recent earnings called, Disney chief Bob Iger said this latest installment will be set 30 years after 1983's “Return of the Jedi” and will feature new and familiar faces.

    Abrams and his producing partner Bryan Burk are producing through their Bad Robot banner with Kathleen Kennedy exec producing for Lucasfilm. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan did a recent rewrite to the script.

    Pic will bow Dec. 18, 2015.


    EDITED TO REMOVE AWFUL FORMATTING. I AM SO SORRY.

    I will admit that I don't care for the new film(s). I loved the original 3 and don't dislike the prequels, but I love the EU far more and hate that this new movie will deviate from it. I may still go see it, but it won't be the same for me.

    That just makes me hate you as a geek. They were made as 4 5 6 and not as 1 2 3...not so much prequel's as they are sequel's to non existing originals!

  • I didn't hate the prequels.  I did hate Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portman though.

    Now.  I'm not sure if this is a rave or a rant, but with this most recent paycheck, I have now earned enough money this year to where I'll actually be paying federal income taxes for the first time.  I guess it's a rave because I've never made more than $5,000-6,000 a year and I was tired of being broke.

    How?

    I don't understand why all the hate on Jar Jar. He's awesome.

    Because pretty much everything in from Episode IV onwards can effectively be blamed on Jar Jar - if he hadn't called to give Palpatine executive powers, Palpatine would have never been able to assert ultimate control of the clone army (which resulted in the Jedi Purge) and everything wouldn't have gone to nil and back. :p

    The EU has never been recognized as canon, I've been well aware of that fact since forever, but that's not to say they didn't take some things from the EU and incorporated them into the projects they do list as canon.

    Yeah, which said stuff has effectively been retconned out of canon into "Legends"

  • Also, Lucas isn't in charge anymore.  He's just got some part-time gig giving creative input.  I hope the other people have enough sense to know when to shut him up.

    Because they took a wonderful, amazing actress and gave her a script so abysmal that they managed to strip her of all acting skill, not to mention utterly trashing a character that was clever and independent and wise and turning her into a whiny little imbecile. To add insult to injury they then put Hayden Christensen opposite her.

    I hate Jar Jar less than I hate (adult) Anakin. I may have some strong opinions on how much they ruined Padmé.
    That's reasons to hate Lucas, not reasons to hate Natalie Portman!

    Hayden Christensen can go die in a fi... oh wait, he did.

    They replaced his stone-like expressionless face and whiny irritating voice with an awesome mask and James Earl Jones.

    He's dead as far as I'm concerned.

    Well, technically, he did eventually.  He just somehow metamorphosed into an unholy combination of James Earl Jones and David Prowse by then.  And had his body disposed of via fire.  So...close 'nuff?
    image
  • The fire technically did kill him.  The mask and suit just prolonged that death for 30 years.  As soon as he took it off...boom, dead.

    I crashed a Windows 7 machine using a USB with one file on it. Specifically, a Microsoft Word document with less than 400 words, written on the same machine I was trying to open it on.

    I will take my award now!

    How did you manage that and how did you fix it? I assume you were playing around with ROMs but I still want to know in case there is some random uninstall option.

    You think that's skill?

    I've crashed my microwave before!

    I decided to root it.  The root went wrong and in an effort to unroot it, I somehow removed the OS.  Fastboot still worked however, so I was able to manually flash the OS back onto the system.  I've since been using that method to install updates so I don't have to wait for them to hit my phone.
