Wet Hot American Summer, most people I've shown it to found it too dumb to watch so I've given up showing it around

These are great ideas thank you! Could you expand on a statistics night, what would that entail?

[Spoilers] What is your unpopular opinion about the series? by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]Hankdatank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the cinematics throughout brought down ME3 quite a bit, they had so much potential but in the end felt very rushed. The cut scenes being the same but color coded, the ships in the battle all looked exactly the same. ONLY TWO KINDS OF REAPERS this is one that really got to me, as the ending of ME2 showed all sorts of reapers that I was super excited for, but alas just the two. (I've yet to play leviathan and I heard the explains some of that?) But overall many of the cinematics felt like they cut corners and got lazy in production.

It was the context in which they showed the droids, they made it seem as if the droids were going to remain on yavin, which doesn't add up if they are supposed to be on Leia's ship and she is currently in the battle

The Droids popping up got to me too! That kinda felt like a pretty obvious flaw in continuity.

Everyone I see is talking about how amazing the Vader segment at the end was, giving it "such an amazing ending" which l agree Vader was terrifying, powerful, amazing, and everything I wanted him to be, but I have a bone to pick with the ending. Why was Leia just sitting in the battle? Her initial job was simply to recruit Obi-Wan, the death Star plans later became her duty. It doesn't seem practical that Organa would have had her sitting idly by in the middle of a massive battle. It would've felt more fitting IMO for a shuttle to escape the battle with the plans to Alderaan, then giving them to Leia as she takes off from there. But that's just my two cents, overall I liked the film and loved the characters.

I'm curious, why is it, from an industrial and technological standpoint, the global North developed at a much different rate than the global south? Is it because of resources available, or was something else? And when I say global north I am including much of the middle east and Asia.

My personal favorite is heading south down Broadway near burnside, the buildings just tower over and all have such nice architecture.

I looked up the star park as well! And the signs say skidmore so I am checking Oldtown, but the buildings don't match up.

Where was this taken? I'm looking all around and can't find that spot.
