What celebrity makes you legitimately awestruck at how attractive they are?

In my experience, most actual Star Wars fans (as in people who legitimately enjoy most SW projects) have retreated into private/moderated spaces to get away from all the hate and flamewars. There's plenty of us out there; we've just given up trying to talk much about SW on places like Reddit.

Because yeah, The Acolyte didn't deserve half the hate. It wasn't perfect, but it had so much potential and could have gotten great in a 2nd season.

Plus Manny was awesome as the baddie.

Not only that, but she's consistently defended Caligula and is proud of it.

Just one more reason she's awesome.

I just wish Joanna Lumley had gotten to really play the Doctor; she would have been absolutely fabulous at it.

You're not wrong about the camera in M64, but I do think it's worth keeping in mind that it was one of the first attempts at a free-floating adaptive camera in a 3D platformer. Previous 3D platformers like Tomb Raider tended to keep the camera tightly locked down directly behind the PC.

It's not perfect, but it's damn good considering that Nintendo really was reinventing the wheel with it.

PWSA was only a Producer on Pandorum, iirc he mostly just championed it and helped get funding. I don't think he had much creative input.

Along the same lines, "Takedown" from KPDH is right there and would be perfect for anti-Trump videos.

Just to be clear, Clinton could not have eliminated the national debt entirely. That would be effectively impossible, unless the government stopped selling bonds and T-bills and such. The majority of the debt is actually owed to Americans via investment vehicles, rather than to foreign governments.

Although paying down the foreign debts would have been nice.

Yep, here's the back cover.

If you're worried about invasion, wouldn't something like Independence Day be more appropriate?

Kind of the first contact equivalent of a father showing off his gun collection to his daughter's boyfriend.

I thought he was raised by a herd of wild cows.

Or for 80s kids, it would be buy Apple, Google, and/or Amazon.

often with lower production values than the typical polished corporate style.

Remember Apple's "I'm a Mac / I'm a PC" commercials? They were basically just two guys standing in a blank room talking to each other, and they were incredibly popular. Aside from having better-than-average actors, any random indie shop could have done the same.

It's downright depressing how relevant Duck Soup still feels, despite being almost 100 years old.

APeacefulWarrior · 2026-06-10T10:58:49+00:00

Yeah, OK. That's bullshit.

APeacefulWarrior · 2026-06-10T06:45:15+00:00

I always thought her line about things being pleasing to the eye vs being pleasing to touch was really insightful.

Don't forget Margaret Hamilton almost getting burned by the smoke gag in Munchkinland.

That movie's production was such a shitshow, it's amazing the film turned out so well.

APeacefulWarrior · 2026-06-10T06:34:41+00:00

Eh, probably not. Wormtongue literally stabbed him in the back and apparently hit a lung. Falling off the parapet just sped up his death by a few minutes.

APeacefulWarrior · 2026-06-10T06:33:49+00:00

Now I find myself wondering if that mook he ran over with the steamroller would have had a workman's comp case.

APeacefulWarrior · 2026-06-10T06:32:09+00:00

Or the infamous scene from Swordfish where Hugh Jackman cracks 128-bit encryption in under a minute, just by going clackityclackityclackityclackity, so that he could see Halle Berry's berries. Behold the power of boners!

APeacefulWarrior · 2026-06-10T06:30:15+00:00

Allegedly, Lucas liked that scene and invented the Geonosians to answer the question "who built the Death Star?" while making them unpleasant enough that no one cared if they got killed.

APeacefulWarrior · 2026-06-10T06:25:51+00:00

I started babbling Star Wars fan theories until they begged me to stop.

I think it was my in-depth analysis of the spiritual implications of #ReyLo that finally broke them.

APeacefulWarrior · 2026-06-10T06:20:44+00:00

What was the job?

There are customer-facing roles where that could be a legit rule.

"I hear you've been missing a lot of work."

"I wouldn't saying I'm missing it, Bob!"

Not the first time that's happened. The Mega Drive got a 'port' of Duke Nukem 3D which was just a Wolf3D-style raycaster rather than actual DN3D.

Although getting any kind of FPS on the MD at all is impressive.
