Adore & Bianca are all timers imho

I didn't know who that was but after doing a quick image search, I feel in my bones you are completely correct.

punch dimensional beams that can be stopped but only by ruby quartz

me looking at the October calendar trying to decide if it's Mothership Month, Orktober, Inktober, or Halloween

like the rewrites required to make that work were so extreme it actually derailed the entire video game and it was never released

one of my very favorite Lucas anecdotes is him pushing art pieces of Darth Maul & Darth Talon together and saying in a silly voice "Theyyre frieeends" but being completely deadly serious bc they're both red sith

which was an issue bc the other character was from the essentially sequel era EU

that feels extremely true for movies that are made from a long fantasy or sci-fi novel. a ~10 hour miniseries is probably better than a 3+ hour movie which is simultaneously too long and too short

that's why Jodorovsky's Dune is the only good science fiction movie, as it's just a documentary about a movie that was never filmed

I wasn't trying to be backhanded about that statement.Star wars is definitely a fun, approachable, & rewatchable romp, that makes you want to know more (& provides it) which is part of the reason it succeeds. I just don't know if that means it's better

IDK, it's like a 1980s pop album vs Rush to me

I think I agree with your specific criteria

but only bc ~100% of the times I watched Star Wars I was a child that was home sick from school with a fever

and ~100% of the times I watched LOTR it was 1 movie at a time as an adult

rubes

damn, you got me. retail dummies bought the dip while every firm was dumping and we got a small dead cat bounce on open.

way to leave to leave my 1 day old response open so you could gotcha my "I wouldn't be so sure" comment as some indictment

the bubble is crashing, AI companies won't exist in like 5 years bc all they did was sell magic beans to people like you

that was the exact part that stood out to me the most in a huge pile of stupidity and patheticness as an an outlier in how stupid and pathetic and sort of missing the mark for why people want phones

on the contrary, capitalism likes homeless people existing so "you will be made homeless the instant you stop making money for the insanely rich while barely surviving" can be the tacit threat of all jobs

like idk if it's even a conspiracy theory that the reason we still have daylight savings in America is to damage the lives of working people so they can't organize

it may have theoretically have had another use during its inception, but it's recent expansion instead of abolition feels hostile imho

on top of that, changing time by an hour twice a year in a non agrarian society is basically a "let's make the poors suffer, for fun" system of keeping people so physiologically off balance for like half the year that we can't live healthy lives

we're gonna make you get a real job in a factory instead of wasting drinking water and electricity to make a computer lie to you
