Investing in lego is more secure than gold right now.

Yeah, they said that in 1995 about Star Wars toys.

Trade your "gold" today because most of it won't be worth a brown twist in 20 years. Certainly not the stuff everyone is stockpiling.

I digress sir lmao, unlike any other toys, Investing in lego is more secure than gold right now. But even the new lego batman movie is already spurring a huge merchandise inflow from lego, they went all out on releasing obscure characters for the movie [emoji51][emoji51]

If its good, I really don't give a rats ass who the lead actor is, male or female, as long as they are a competent actor and right for the role.

Han Solo movie coming out, so don't worry, I've heard he's being played by a guy.

Hire scarlett to play han solo for all i care.
As long as they keep hiring babes im all good baby, im all good....

Re: Star Wars stand-alone/spin-off films discussion

Looking at the "Who Posted?" stats I see that a lot of the most prolific posters here are those who trolled the TFA thread. Just a reminder that that's not gonna fly this year.

As always anyone can post a negative review about any given movie, even a lengthy one, and *respectful* disagreements and debates are also allowed. If you post a negative review that's fine but if you have to constantly quote everyone who likes the movie just to trash it all over again, or trash the opinions of others, or are always trying to turn a positive discussion back toward what you thought sucked then that's threadcrapping and you can expect to see your posts deleted.

I will admit there's a lot more ******** on the film going on than normal. There's a very negative buzz around here lately. I come here to relax and feel good about upcoming releases, not get pissed, ignore and leave on a downer.

I'll go see it cos its Star Wars. Like it or not, it is. I'm looking forward to E8 and Han Solo's film more but it's still a new SW film.

To entertain your self you watch dumb films while drinkin' and eating.
You come to a forum (designated space for public expression) to discuss stuff.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (12/16/16)

Since I'm taking a hard stance on threadcrapping this year I plan on keeping my participation in this thread to a minimum as far as actual discussion goes. Which will probably please more than a few of you.

My plan is to post a review of Rogue One in the "Rate this Movie" thread and leave it at that. I don't want people thinking that I plan to take over the thread, gush about the movie, and then delete all posts who disagree with me. That would obviously be very, very lame. So I'm just going to monitor the thread as an outsider and step in only when either side (fans/haters) are disrespectful or harrass the other side.

And no, I don't think that people who go on and on about what they love are "just as annoying" as the threadcrappers. So if you need a place to vent every time somebody posts something positive save it for the "Things I *(&)&*ing Hate" thread or wherever else you need to go.

Anything simple-minded and repetitive is thread crapping, regardless of the positive/negative aspect.

In some ways, perhaps. But I'm warning you in advance that I'm going to err on the side of those who are positive vs. those who are negative. If somebody loves a movie so much that they just post a hundred dancing pug gifs or whatever, then yeah, I could see having to clean that up too. But I think you and I both know that that's hardly an issue on the level of the threadcrapping and trolling certain movie threads tend to attract. And that's what I'll be keeping my eye out for.

If you hate a movie and are annoyed by people saying they like it I have a simple solution, don't read the thread. (Obviously I'm not saying "you" individually RIDDICK, I'm addressing that to everyone.)

yeah, I tend to agree with this. As is calling out critics of a movie as "arm chair directors".

No, I come here to get hyped about upcoming figures and films, with the odd bit of discussion. There's no need to correct me.

Agree with whatever you want. But now you have an official reminder of what will be tolerated and what won't be tolerated come December 16th. And the same will hold true for all upcoming event films.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (12/16/16)

That's a bit grumpy.
Just saying (as someone who loved TFA and expects to like this because it's SW) that people bashing others opinions is wrong and disruptive regardless whether they are positive or negative.

I never argued against that.

If someone says, "I didn't have a good feeling about Rogue One but I went and saw it just to give it a chance and it failed to win me over. I thought the pacing was off, performances were bad, the continuity didn't match up with A New Hope, just all around a bad experience. 3/10."

And someone replies "What are you some basement dwelling loser who doesn't know how to have fun at the movies? How pathetic" or whatever equivalent then in that case it would obviously be the "fan" who was out of line.

you need to be the mod for the VGM section. It's a complete ****ing mess.

Man, this is as hypocritical as it gets.
But hey, logic can't survive in a place where fanboys lurk. I'm ok with that.

Anyway, lookin' forward to RO.
At least it feels like an episode of a solid TV series and not some rehash of a classic film.

What about all the "armchair director" genre of comments that are constantly thrown by fans of a movie at anyone who negatively critiques a movie?
Surely that shouldn't be tolerated either?

gosh rory, stop being such an armchair moderator!

i'm all for a solid debate, but threadcrapping has been real here lately.

It depends. If people being referred to as either "fanboys" on the one side or "armchair directors" on the other are as bad as it gets then I don't know that any thread cleaning would be necessary. It would probably come down to context and overall vibe of the conversation. Some people who have a history of joking with each other and could probably get away with much worse. I mean I pretty much expect karamazov to ask me if I think Rogue One is as good as Sucker Punch and Citizen Kane or whatever.

But if obvious contempt is coming across then that would be an indicator that people are posting amiss.

Threadcrapping has been a problem for a longtime, and largely the negative "reviewers" are blamed and ostracised for posting their sometimes honest opinions.
Prometheus, Man of Steel, BVS, to name but a few crapfest threads. All I'm saying is that it's a two sided thing and shouldn't be simply categorised as "people with negative views on a movie should visit a thread if they get annoyed by positivity", when in reality it goes both ways. The problem are members themselves not their specific views.
Disrespectful treatment of others views is the issue, right?
