see i see that thread title, and i'm like, not interested i see "canadian politics", and i'm like, not interested i see "lgbt rights", and i'm like, i support them, but i don't have anything meaningful to add heck, i even have bookmarked the u.s. politics thread on tvtf, and still most of their talk is policy babbling, which is not very interesting nor productive
Don't change the subject, Glenn! I'm talking about AWESOME things like the miracles that Edward The Confessor could do and actually frigging did.
Nobody cares about your modern problems, we have whales to ride and long-lost princes to save with music! Screw copyright laws, we have swords to find and tityrams to herd. And nothing's gonna stop us!
(the prince is the only one who knows the second verse to the song you made up together. Run around singing the first verse and eventually, when you get to the place where he is being hidden by his enemies, he will hear you and respond with the second verse.)
Memes are a perfect example of how the defiance of copyright leads to social discourse. No one gives a fucking shit about copyright. Except possibly the inconvenience to some people who upload youtube videos. But then everyone keeps chattering about something, everyone posts and reposts screenshots from a scene of a movie, makes avatars and image macros out of it, makes running jokes out of it, and stuff. And everyone knows about it. Because everyone just completely ignored copyright law and did what humans do: spread information.

well, i mean, the reason for Shakespeare's pedestal in English literature is certainly worth questioning, and has been questioned, in a serious academic context, not just on the internet
but A Midsummer Night's Dream, a bad play?
Seriously. Shakespeare's plays were never meant to be read, and Midsummer Night's Dream is one of the few that I enjoy reading as much as watching.
(Of course, my copy has Arthur Rackham illustrations...)
the opening shot will be Han riddling an unarmed Greedo with so many bullets that his face and upper torso are completely disintegrated, then smashing the remains with a shovel until there's nothing left but a fine pulp
the remainder of the movie will be the entire original Star Wars trilogy as it was originally released, followed by a long, drawn out depiction of Jar-Jar's violent death
Yeah that's a good thread for your srs discussion forum. Fits right in there between Canadian Politics and LGBT Rights.
there are actually some cool ideas in there, like the Laser Maces, Laser Hammers, Laser Crossbows, and having the Jedi wear fancy armor, kinda the good-guy version of the armor we only saw with Vader.
It's way better than the rest of OTC, except maybe "Reptiles are abhorrent? Not to this troper."
Also, great minds think alike, I was just reading the If You Had Written The Star Wars Prequels Thread!
did Martin Luther actually throw an inkwell at the devil?
yes. The inkstain is still there (actually, it was a couple of years ago, but tourists chipped off pieces of that area of the wall as souvenirs. You can see the general shape of the ink splatter from the shape of the chippings.

Thanks to copyright law, there can be no more classic works. Everything is now modern, forever. Nothing can be a point of social commonality, unless it somehow loses its copyright status and goes into the public domain by accident. Or rather, social commonality has been commercialized and monetized: in order to be in the know, you will have to pay money to experience the musical or verbal or visual thing that everyone is talking about.
I have not found one thing to jerk off to in Gormenghast so far. It is therefore inferior to Xanth steelman schelling point signalling bayesian deutschland uber alles
My ideal set up for the prequels is one commentated over by a nerd doing a terrible fake voice and pretending to be an elderly rapist
Also canonically, I believe the wookies have laser crossbows.
. I always hated Mister Plinkett, and never could understand why he had fans. Then again, I never understood the appeal of any of the AVGN/TGWTG type videos except the ones like Vihart.
And if I directed SW, it would have tityrams, Melusines, and all the other hybrids I posted about back in August.

What if the prevalence of "irony" is some kind of collective unconscious autoimmune response to this? When all statements are made parodically, everything is fair use.
I'm aware this makes no sense, but I am putting the idea out anyway.
i think it's really funny that people whine about the star wars sequels being blatant cash-ins when the original trilogy was made specifically to secure the funding for other projects.
it was always about the money, and they were never that good to begin with

nerds are whining babies
This would be right on the mark if "it's too commercial now" was a criticism a human being had ever made of star wars, ever, in the history of mankind.
I mean there was a star wars merchandise joke in Space Balls everyone knows, no one cares.
and then they keep on whining on the way to the store to pick up more star wars crap, proving that they never really cared about the quality of the films at all, it's all about being able to wave your fan-dick around

I don't know why people are so keen on crazily absurd amounts of explosions and huge mechs and overwhelming (and overwhelmingly inefficient) application of force.
that's stupid.
should be more elegant. martial arts is more elegant. and efficient.
not overusing explosive powder is more elegant. and efficient. save it for when it actually counts.
you can take your supermanly muscles and shove them up your ass. or down your throat. i don't really care. i will instead find a way to defeat you by making you trip.

That makes them in Phylum Talkywords of the Video, the other relevant Phylaare Phylum Catvideo, phylum Noncatanimalvideo, phylum Domino (best example is Genus Flippycat), phylum Music, Phylum Youtubepoop and Phylum Videosovertenminutes, the latter of which is impossible bad magic that my wise computer refuses to load .

[23:28:16] <GMH> why do people care to pit master chief vs samus [23:28:19] <GMH> or other shit like that [23:28:29] <GMH> they probably would likely not give a shit about each other [23:28:44] <GMH> why do people so much enjoy taking characters out-of-character and making them fight each other to the death [23:28:48] <GMH> so fucking stupid

i see "canadian politics", and i'm like, not interested
i see "lgbt rights", and i'm like, i support them, but i don't have anything meaningful to add
heck, i even have bookmarked the u.s. politics thread on tvtf, and still most of their talk is policy babbling, which is not very interesting nor productive
so that's why i don't really browse tvtf much
it's not horrible
it's just uninteresting

I actually like the Reptiles thread.
or maybe the characters would all have magic, just named force
and they would all be masters of close-combat martial arts
and there might be politics
or at least the bad guys being huge jerks to lots of people
lol i dunno
or loli dunno
well i dunno and loli dunno either

the original trilogy was enjoyable but i am not a fan of the expanded universe
mean!
but yes of course it was always about the money
I hate you Mark Fisher.
that's stupid.

craziness is stupid
everything working out perfectly and having a photo finish is awesome
They involve a person talking about things.

because all that strategizing actually DID something
both times
also that's why OMG FIVE STARLIGHT BREAKERS is less awesome than "I'm in the deepest part of the cradle, OH SHIT".
because obvious reason
DUN DUN DUN
DUNDUNDUN DUN DUN DUN
good night
[23:28:19] <GMH> or other shit like that
[23:28:29] <GMH> they probably would likely not give a shit about each other
[23:28:44] <GMH> why do people so much enjoy taking characters out-of-character and making them fight each other to the death
[23:28:48] <GMH> so fucking stupid
