So this is how liberty dies.

Yes, although that response image is about Lucas’ supposed hate of Mara Jade as a character and less about her not being a Jedi. I know exactly what footage that’s from.

I think you misread my comment. She wasn’t a Jedi in the old EU, and as far as I know she doesn’t exist in new canon. So I’m wondering why she is on the list of Jedi running around, as no matter which continuity you pick, she doesn’t seem to fit.

Does Mara Jade even exist in Disney canon? In old EU she certainly wasn’t a Jedi during ESB.

But yes, especially with Disney canon the number of Jedi or “former Jedi and not Jedi anymore but actually basically still just Jedi” running around has gotten out of control. I chalk it up to the original trilogy vaguely assuming the clone wars had happened longer ago than ended up being written.

The movie was infamously over budget. It basically doubled from its initial budget and was for the time a record expensive movie to make. All of that for a final product that was fine but not really showing all that money on screen. It was the topic of many late night show jokes and such.

Observe And Report starring Seth Rogan.

It’s a movie about a mall security guard and it often gets confused for the awful Paul Blart movies by people, which is why I think it gets dismissed. But it’s genuinely darkly funny. It leans into the hero complex of the main character and it gets weird and off putting in the best kinds of ways. If you like Death To Smoochie, you will probably like it.

I’d like to mention Harbinger Down.

It is made by the practical special effects company originally hired for the 2011 prequel, who were then fired and replaced with a CGI company. They were so disgruntled they made their own off-brand The Thing movie to show off what they got. The plot is kind of meh, but the effects are amazing for fans of The Thing.

Waterworld is fine. It just gets ragged on because of its insane budget and the lackluster results for said budget. But if you don’t care about that and just watch a movie, it’s a decent movie.

The Simpsons joke where the tie in video game needs 40 quarters is still funny though.

The setting and design in Valerian is fantastic. The opening sequence really is among the best in film. Shame about the plot and main characters.

It’s poorly rated? What in the world. Madness. This is the dark comedy film to watch.

I read the book first which made me really not like the movie. I think in a vacuum the movie is fine, but the heavy fictionalization to the point of preposterousness of something that was only one part of the book was just such a twisting. The book was about government waste, fraud, and abuse. The movie was about a wacky special forces guy who could apparently on some level actually use powers.

End Of Days is basically saved single handedly by that MP5.

It’s notable how identifiably the gun on the page is drawn as a KSG. Outside of “gun focused” comics like The Punisher, comicbook guns have a habit of being wonky unidentifiable models.

From Wikipedia:

During the American Civil War, Army officers were withdrawn from Coast Survey duty, never to return, while all but two Navy officers also were withdrawn from Coast Survey service for the duration of the war. Since most men of the Survey had Union sympathies, most stayed on with the Survey rather than resigning to serve the Confederate States of America; their work shifted in emphasis to support of the United States Navy and Union Army, and these Coast Surveyors are the professional ancestors of today’s NOAA Corps. Those Coast Surveyors supporting the Union Army were given assimilated military rank while attached to a specific command, but those supporting the U.S. Navy operated as civilians and ran the risk of being executed as spies if captured by the Confederates while working in support of Union forces.

Yeah I noticed that after I posted. It is fixed.

I’m only but one person.

I feel like I have enough of a skillset and experience that with a solid free month I could make a terrible iteration of this.

Now all I need is the month.
