Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Dec 15th, 2017)

To be fair, I don't think there is enough evidence for us to say that our IrishJedi is that same guy who is wanted by the police for stealing and selling stolen merchandise.

For all we know, he was banned from SSF for some other reason.

Am I wrong?

I think you are unfortunately.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I think you are unfortunately.

Yeah, I just saw this.

Hello all,

I am dealing with some "real life" things and making some necessary changes. I also need to come up with some funds rather quickly. So, my choices are potentially YOUR gain... as I am unloading much of my personal collection, and at bottom barrel prices (priced to sell).

Then there was this

Are you the guy who stole from Philip Wise and other people. Are the things you are selling here stolen?

All the Stolen property will have to be returned. Good luck with getting your money back. I know ppl are tracking what is being sold here.

I give you permission to rank ALIENS above RO (ALIENS is in my Top 10 All-Time after all) but you've got to admit that my first statement re: post-ALIENS Cameron is absolutely true.

I will. And I won't. Hrmph

Don't listen to him a-dev, Khev is just memeing. I watched him edit his post several times. Even he knew at points that he was being too outrageous.

Why didn't we hear anything about it? It was a very quiet banning. No incoherent, grammatically ****ed threads from anyone he screwed over, which is usually what happens. Makes me think Dave was notified about him from outside the forum or something.


edit - just saw Clown Prince's latest post....hmmm..

 

[jye4ever]

Whatever Khev said I agree.

RO > T2/Aliens

This must be hard on poor a-dev because he likes RO.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, its strange because Irish has been around a long time and is a very well-known member here. How did this remain so quiet?

And who the hell bought his stuff besides FlyandFight (based on IJ's sales thread)? F&F must know more if he received stolen goods, as would other members here, unless they've been asked to keep quiet as a criminal case is pending.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Yeah, his last post was in that thread on 4/9/2017....and his "last activity" was on 4/10/2017....so the next day

Game over man! Game over!

 

[Khev]

Whatever Khev said I agree.

RO > T2/Aliens

Never thought I'd see the day when a SW movie *not* released in 1977 or 1980 was superior to ALIENS. And yet, unbelievably, here we are.

This must be hard on poor a-dev because he likes RO.

Probably not as hard as it is for DiFabio to deal with the fact that Rogue One also puts Batman 89 and TDK to shame.

kinda ****** he used SSF to slang stolen property, though. hopefully anyone who bought those have the decency to check up on it's real owners.

A picture of Carl in leather is pretty much the reason why I stopped being a mod.

 

[Khev]

So Carl was your Ben Solo eh?

More like the JJ Abrams staring at me while I killed my father.

Heh. It is kind of funny to watch history repeat itself with regard to ALIENS/RO though. A director who wears his fanboyism on his sleeve tackles the nearly insurmountable task of linking his film to one of the greatest in all of science-fiction. Both pulled it off, but Cameron was dismissed as dumbing down the story, getting cheap with the whole "cute kid" angle, and basically repeating the same sequences as in Scott's film but simply "bigger and louder." Those folks were in the minority of course (which only made them feel more "elite") and now we're seeing a little bit of that again with Rogue One, despite it being arguably better than Cameron's effort and with an even *greater* degree of difficulty (prequels are always harder than sequels, and SW fans are probably the single most **** retentive on the planet.)

Seeing BTS stuff like this, I wonder how actors are able to keep a straight face and convey emotion in such flicks.

Yeah. He did. And... the result was Aliens in comics books... which eventually gave rise to Bull Alien action figures and AvP and other such nonsense.

 

[Khev]

Yeah. He did. And...?

See??? SEE????? I rest my case.

 

[Wor-Gar]

wait I wasn't finished typing... the end result is the problem.

Driver attended Juilliard, stage trained actors are taught to show emotions on a blank stage.

I'm sure it wasn't too difficult.

 

[Khev]

Well...that's not really Cameron or the film's fault now is it?

I mean Star Wars itself is blamed for countless uninspired piggy backers and the dumbing down of the entire film industry itself. JAWS too.

Still. Imagine you're wearing a buggy suit, surounded by green foam, and have to pretend to kill your space-smuggler dad with a fake space-sword, to become a full-fledged dark space-wizard. It gets worse in the Marvel and DC stuff:

 

[Khev]

I get why Driver and Ford had to be shot greenscreen but come on CW, send the actors to a real freaking airport. They exist.
