It was a messy divorce for me. Won't be seeing episode nine. To hell with Disney. I hope everything flops for now on. They killed off everything people cared about.
Imagine DBZ killing Goku and Vegeta permanently. Like no halo spirit world crap, just completely dead. Can't you imagine the backlash?

Only 4 days into the new year, the washing machine broke and the TV screen is half dark.
When it rains it pours.

Honestly? i wouldn't mind that too much (this coming from someone who's 2nd favorite fandom is DBZ right behind Star Wars) However, I recognize that I'm in the minority here.Hybrida":15kes2cv said:
BUt I'd love to see some other characters in the dragonball universe get some shine. Before now the formula has basically been "everybody try to survive while we wait for Goku to show up"
That trope was especially present in GT, which I've seen a number of people refer to as "Dragonball Goku Time" (DB + Goku Time)
I totally understand if you dislike or even HATE The Last Jedi, though. It's definitely a flawed film. Probably one of the most flawed in the franchise. However for me, the highs in The Last Jedi outweigh the lows.
For instance, the end of the film with hologram Luke holding back Kylo Ren was one of my favorite scenes in Star Wars History. I absolutely loved it. The fact that Luke was able to hold Kylo back with what turned out to be a completely pacifistic tactic TO ME, was one of the most Jedi things I have seen in a Star Wars film.
Is it a perfect movie? No, far from it. Is it the best Star Wars movie? Again, no. Far from it. But nevertheless, I enjoyed it. As a matter of fact, I consider it my fourth best in-theater experience. My top 3 being Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: Civil War, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. IN THAT ORDER.
Civil War was actually the first MCU movie that I saw in theater, and also the first movie that I saw in theater that I really, REALLY cared about.
The Force Awakens was the first Star Wars movie that I saw in theater, at least that I remember clearly. The prequel films came out when I was very young, and I know I saw them all in theater with my father, I don' remember much about the actual experience since I was probably about, I don't know, 8 years old? When the Phantom Menace came out. Regardless, when I saw The Force Awakens in theater was the first time I saw a Star Wars movie as a full grown human and I nearly SHIT MY PANTS when that opening crawl started with the classic Star Wars theme. Easily top 10 boners of my life.
And then there's Avengers: Infinity War. OH MY FUCK. This movie had me so fucking hyped I can't even begin to explain the rollercoaster of emotions I went through during the promotion for the film. When I saw the actual finished product? I don't think I have ever had such an incredible hype boner in my life. You now how people say they came out of a movie "grinning from ear to ear?? I came out of this movie grinning so hard every muscle in my head was hurting for days after. I literally cannot understate how much I LOVED this movie and the experiences ( that's right, I saw it 3 times in theater) that I had watching it.
Anyway, like I said, if you dislike or even HATE The Last Jedi I totally understand. Like all forms of art, films are subjective. Did you know some people actually LIKE the DOOM movie with The Rock? Holy shit that movie was terrible.
This had been Drunken Thoughts at 2AM featuring Dr. Funk. Join us next week where our topic will be... Why Voltron is better than any of the Megazords? That sounds like a terrible topic. I'm going to have to have a talk with my editor...
Also if there's a record for longest post made in PWOYM in the last year I would like that award as well as a medal. Plus, if you could make the medal green, white, and orange like the Irish flag that would be great. Please, hold your applause until the show is over. Thank you.
Good read there! I enjoyed that. I actually liked Doom, yes it was horrible. Like the Resident evil movies, you have to turn off your brain.
My favorite horrible movie is Skyline. So much wasted potential. That could have been a great movie. The complete hopelessness feeling ruined it. Great nuke scene also. I was satisfied with the nuke, although it did nothing but provide a repair exercise for the aliens.
Lastly my favorite Star Wars opening is Revenge of the Sith. Pure Chills when that republic cruiser fires the blue laser beam, and decapitate a CIS ship. I was at Imax theater. It was awesome.

What a strange feeling, being nearly 30, suddenly (and forced to be) a homeowner, working to stay above water, no time for except the occasional game, no inspiration to create.
Coming back to HBGames, and seeing it a near ghostland. Some of my best friends not logged in for over two years. Guess it's true, "you can't go home."
Meh, I'm not fun tonight.

Coyote, sorry to hear about the appliance issues. I hope you get those sorted out.
Tindy, welcome back. I'm relatively newish here. HB Games may have lost hundreds of users over the years, but they added one. Congrats on homeownership.
Dr. Funk, all of the prequels were horrible. The only redeeming thing about them was the music. The special editions of the original trilogy were all horrible. There was not a single improvement in all of that digital flimflammery. The Last Jedi was a bad movie. Maybe not as bad as the prequels, but it was bad. Let me count the ways:
Poe was one of the most exciting characters in the Force Awakens, and he spent the first few minutes of the Last Jedi telling a Yo' Mama joke, and then the rest of the movie demoted and imprisoned on a dying ship. The whole Finn/Rose storyline was just a waste of time. Pure filler--visual spectacle that had absolutely no bearing on the plot. Luke was just a disappointment. He was the hero of the original films, and the whole reason behind the plot in the Force Awakens, and then when you finally meet him, he's just a grumpy old man who won't lift a finger to save the galaxy. (Although in the end, he does the Force hologram projection thing.) And then watching the Republic fleet flee from the First Order as their fuel slowly burns away--that's not excitement or drama. That's boredom. And then hyperspace ramming another ship--that's a midichlorian level of continuity-breaking stupidity. If that's allowed, then it would have been done by little hyperspace ships (like X-Wings) since the very beginning. And the whole concept of what's a legitimate noble sacrifice is completely inconsistent: Holdo can make a noble sacrifice, but Finn can't? And of course, Leia flies through space.

Let's settle this like gentlemen, then, shall we? Pistols, noon, at the field of honor?
Or we could debate. Go watch Red Letter Media's reviews of the prequels: http://redlettermedia.com/plinkett/star-wars/. All of my arguments will be, "Yeah, what Plinkett says."

Personally I can't stand the 1977 versions. I honestly can't understand why anyone would want an inferior version of a movie.
People prefer that shitty death Star explosion from 1977? The 1998 version is far better. Jabba the hutt was not suppose to be a fat human. The special edition fixed it. Lucas was limited by technology. He just added what he originally wanted. If it's not the special addition, I can't watch it.
