Obā-san · 2013-09-05 11:24:04

honestly i think the reason i stayed a brony for so long is because i pretty much never watched the show

Obā-san · 2013-09-05 11:25:55

ok there is class in a while and I need to wake up sort of so I can get all pretty and go fail some more. I will look like crap by the end of the day and I hate sitting in class for more than an hour at a time.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 12:03:54

*drops the base* oops there go all my fighter vehicles and armaments and soldiers :D

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 12:04:22

OH SHIZZLE I just remembered I have calls to make. :O

Obā-san · 2013-09-05 12:04:33

yessss only one hour to go

Odradek · 2013-09-05 12:08:29

Lol, Sir Alec Guiness should have an honorary SA account.

He'd have fit right in.

i am in class so i cant listen, what is the general gist of it?

"In the final volume of the book A Positively Final Appearance (1997), Guinness recounts grudgingly giving an autograph to a young fan who claimed to have watched Star Wars over 100 times, on the condition that the boy promise to stop watching the film, because, as Guinness told him, "this is going to be an ill effect on your life." The fan was stunned at first, but later thanked him (though some sources say it went differently). Guinness is quoted as saying: "'Well,' I said, 'do you think you could promise never to see Star Wars again?' He burst into tears. His mother drew herself up to an immense height. 'What a dreadful thing to say to a child!' she barked, and dragged the poor kid away. Maybe she was right but I just hope the lad, now in his thirties, is not living in a fantasy world of secondhand, childish banalities"

Obā-san · 2013-09-05 12:25:29

harsh.

Obā-san · 2013-09-05 12:26:50

I think it says something that Obi Wan was one of his weakest performances and he was still hella better than most every other actor in the film

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-09-05 12:28:11

^^^ & ^^ Honestly, I think the issue is less the film than the fact that the kid claimed to have seen it over one hundred times. Sure, Guinness wasn't a fan of Star Wars, but there is a difference between being fond of something and obsessing over it to the point that it stunts one's emotional growth.

^ True point.

Obā-san · 2013-09-05 12:32:45

also a beeping metal can is easily the most expressive and loveable character throughout all six of the films

Odradek · 2013-09-05 12:34:09

Still, we must never forgive George Lucas for ruining it by reminding us it's a shallow special effects heavy kids movie with the prequels.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-09-05 12:34:47

^^ In an odd way, I think that actually speaks better of the films than it should speak ill.

^ And yet, the cheap special effects in the first manage to still look better than the expensive ones in the last.

Odradek · 2013-09-05 12:35:11

That said, seeing movies over and over again is kind of a kid thing to do. I saw Jumanji, like, thirty times when I was a kid and I haven't seen it since I hit puberty.

perhaps, but it certainly says a lot about the dialogue.

lol this might be true.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-09-05 12:37:50

^^^ Even by that standard, one hundred is a bit much. And really, given the period, how many times did he see that film in a theatre?

^^ Again: In the original trilogy, at least he let the actors improvise and rewrite their lines when the script was dumb.

Odradek · 2013-09-05 12:37:58

Why is there not a pdf of Difference and Repetition that's a good enough quality that I can read it on my kindle.

There's no Kindle version on Amazon, I'm reduced to this.

He might have been exaggerating, like kids do.

NOooo NOOOOOOO

I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 12:41:04

My sis is ruining my whole life just by taking up space and talking and breathing and saying things and needing to be in places at times. I hope she is right that she can move out but I know she isn't. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 12:41:57

hate hate hate hate hate

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 12:42:44

Like literally my appointment got pushed back a month thanks sis. >:(

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 12:44:54

okaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy time for defective transbitch to write homework and present it to the teacher and find out it was done wrong and then fail at participating

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 12:45:57

Maybe I spend hours scoring obsessively in games so I can feel good at something.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 12:47:22

hey sisssssss maybe if you had a shred of respect for me I wouldn't hate you u_u

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 12:49:44

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 13:00:13

I think everyone is a brain in the same giant tank of LSD and no one's world is the same so when an alien comes to Earth all they will see is brains in a senseless mess killing each other, which is... not really much of an abstraction, now that I think about it.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-09-05 13:01:47

no one posts here when I post here, which is convenient. oh wow is it time to go to class? Let's pretend it isn't!!! School is for NERDS.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-09-05 13:05:39

I don't have much to say, really.

Imipolex G · 2013-09-05 13:16:48

moogoo.

Imipolex G · 2013-09-05 13:17:15

I enjoyed the original Star Wars trilogy, if you don't like it then that's your opinion I guess

Imipolex G · 2013-09-05 13:17:53

I like feeling feminine

for some reason

I did, too. I can just point out how silly it is. Not sure about the beau, though.

Imipolex G · 2013-09-05 13:22:07

Funny thing is, I watch it differently now from when I was a kid. When I was a kid I could take it at face value as a "serious" epic. Now I watch it as a silly special effects serial kinda thing and it's still enjoyable...just in a different way.

Odradek · 2013-09-05 13:29:25

Because people SHOULD be perfectly rational, I SHOULD never have to change my behavior to accommodate irrationality, and thus, never will.#ShitTheInternetBelieves
