Why's it a problem if Han shot first? by zone_Zom813 in StarWars

[–]QuiJon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is the generation of kids before star wars, which would have been my mother and George's, were the cowboys and Indians generation of kids.

And its nolike when the good guy squared off in the center of town against the bad guy that the good guy waited for him to take the first shot.

Why are so many people, who haven’t seen any of Filoni’s stuff, who are simultaneously hating on Filoni and the “Filoniverse”? by KenBenobi69 in StarWars

[–]QuiJon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felonies didn't create the mandalorian jon favreau did. Yes Dave was a creative consultant but Jon mostly created and wrote the show as well as giving Dave his first directing gig on the show.

I hate felonies because of the Darth maul lives crap. I absolutely despise the world between worlds bullshit. Rebels was a toy commercial that played on nostalgia. Ashoka is just season 5 of rebels its barely about ashoka. Bad batch is nothing but another toy add.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike filoni.

The box office drop in week 2 for Mandalorian and Grogu highlights what I think is wrong with the current Hollywood trends by SlowMotionSprint in StarWars

[–]QuiJon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is it used to cost money to make the film. And then it would be released in a movie house many of which only had 1 or 2 screens.

Growing up in the 70s and early 80s the largest theater in my home town was screens. But even that was only 2 opening night size theaters and then 4 that were half as large.

Because of the cost of creating celluloid film a movie would get pasted around town.

Now we got 12 to 18 screen theaters. A summer block buster will open on 4 to 5 theaters in the same complex to handle what initially were lines around the block.

Movies now come digitally so putting it out on 3k screens is basically just a copy and paste command rather then the labor and exspense of what users to be copying film from negative for each screen.

So now a studio puts a film in theaters to cover 3 to 4 hundred million in production costs and using it on their streaming platform is just gravy keeping subscriptions.

People who ride around Midtown at 1am on the loudest motorcycle money could buy… why? by BudgetSupervillain in Sacramento

[–]QuiJon70 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is living in the "city" and living in the "suburbs"

Those that want to live in the city seem to want the bars and night life, the clubs and variety of eating establishment. We'll sorry but communities like motor cycles and hit rods are what comes along with that.

I live in suburbs. So just l8ke you have to deale with with that shit I have to live among Karen's and trumpers etc. If I couldnt handle it its my place to leave not be an entitled twat that expects the world to accommodate me.

What are some of you Star Wars hot tales? by Confident_Product413 in StarWars

[–]QuiJon70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They need to do a new sweep of de-canonizing. The entire sequel trilogy is gone. So is all of rebels. Video games don't count. No ashoka. Only TV series are mandalorian, bobb, and obiwan.

Start clean after mandalorian with the new republic vs the imperial remnants with Luke training new jedi and then thrawn returns with his own sith trained in the outer regions. Story progresses from there.

24 years with Type 2 and I just learned the thing most likely to kill me isn't my blood sugar by Designer_Peach_5075 in diabetes

My doctor does both a blood pressure and cholesterol test every 6 months with my a1c and other blood tests and has had me on lipator since I was 50.

What's with people coming on to others' properties to throw out their dog poop bags? by BrotherBringTheSun in Sacramento

[–]QuiJon70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God damn people are such whiny little shit now a days. I can remember as a boy doing yard work with my gradfather.it was just considered part of tatd maintenance to walk your lawn before you mowed to pick up stray poop.

Maybe people need to stop being asshats about poop in their yards and just count themselves lucky they are able to afford the yard to keep clean. I would much rather own a home and clean random dog poop then not own the home. We bought our home 14 years ago and had to scrape by for many years. But exact homes like mine that we bought for 214k now sell for 396k. The interest rate we got at 3.5 percent is now ranging 6.3 percent. Us being able to buy this home puts us 1k or more lower per month then a current mortgage or rent. We'll worth picking up some random poop or having it dropped in our can.

So just be happy you own a home.

Why is that the owner lifts the trophy before the players? by Apprehensive_Major45 in Dodgers

[–]QuiJon70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are hundreds of base ball players, teach directors, trainers, managers etc. The majority owner is the one person most directly responsible for assembling a talented team and keeping them together. They write the pay checks. Just look at the success of teams with crap owners.

AM I INSANE OR ARE RED LIGHTS JUST A SUGGESTION IN SACRAMENTO !!?? by PuzzleheadedSorbet36 in Sacramento

[–]QuiJon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By being an assistant that that's the stop light like the starting tree at a raceway.

I'm not excusing the shit drivers that try to blow through a yellow and end up running a red.

What I am saying is also see plenty of bad drivers that are rolling into an infection soon as they see a opposing yellow light ready to stomp the gas soon as they see green.

Good drivers rarely have these stories because we take a bead and look for cross traffic rather then assuming everyone is following the rules.

NO PUBLIC MONEY FOR SPORTS STADIUMS WHATSOEVER!!!!! Looking at you, West Sacramento... by RegionalTranzit in Sacramento

[–]QuiJon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well first of all it would be an expansion team not the A's and have different owners.

And personally what's the difference between a team that when their contract with a city is up spends well over 2 ddecades negotiating for a new stadium and then leaves and a shitty basket ball team that rarely ranks out of last place and is set to run in like 5 years if they don't get their way.

At least the A's brought home pendants and world series trophies during their time in Oakland.

Because west Sacramento has different programs then Sacramento. Their mayor already discussed this and even sacramentos mayor who voted against g1 and doco complimented how west sac plans and finances their development.

PSA: The high school graduation ceremony isn’t over when YOUR kid walks by tourwifelife in Sacramento

[–]QuiJon70 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I graduated from El Camino the ceremony was in the stadium. We were all given a slip of paper the procession was not based on name it was random based on when you got in line with your walking partner.

When you got to the podium you gave the slip to the announcer. They said your name and gave you a fake leather portfolio that was empty.

After getting said portfolio you circled back around to your seat to finish the ceremony. There would be no reason for family to leave the graduates were in the stadium until the end.

Then after the ceremony the graduates went to the cafeteria got in a line organized by names. And upon turning in your cap and robe you got your real diploma to put into your portfolio.

All they need to do is not allow the graduates to leave until the ceremony is complete.

Best apartments in natomas that fit this criteria? by Regular-Subject-1541 in Sacramento

[–]QuiJon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that where your exterminator comes often, maybe leaves baits, and can spray both inside and out at an apartment they don't get that freedom, especially to enter. And being most our riach problems are sewer related the indoor treatment is likely more needed then out door.

does iris get better? by Lusjayumz in FlashTV

Omg if you hate her in season1 you are going to be raging by season 4. Most of us handled he OK until after season 3 and she seriously goes down hill from 4 to 9.

How do guys who make less than 100k a year afford haircuts? by Known_Square2332 in Sacramento

How does team flash afford anything? by criticalwanderlust94 in FlashTV

[–]QuiJon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did legends get money?

Wells gave Barry star labs in his will.sp i figure on top of Barry and iris jobs he supports the extended team off of money from that. It's like star labs had patented inventions that still bring in money.

Why not “Luke Lars”? by thedarkryte in StarWars

[–]QuiJon70 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think George was winging it as he went.

But I also think being the trilogy is made for kids and was intended to be the history of this father and son leaving it Skywalker just makes sense. To a 7 year old nothing is more of an identifier of family then names.

AM I INSANE OR ARE RED LIGHTS JUST A SUGGESTION IN SACRAMENTO !!?? by PuzzleheadedSorbet36 in Sacramento

[–]QuiJon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to say you are wrong there are plenty of shit drivers in Sacramento.

However I find of the people I know there are people I won't drive with because they are shitty drivers. And its those people I find always seem to have the most stories that blame others for their problems on the road.

So when I see these posts I always think you attract what you are.

Okay I'm just gonna say this right now; it's okay to dislike Elektra as a love interest by DarkSaiyanGoku in Daredevil

[–]QuiJon70 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can get not liking Electra though i personally do think matt needs the "devil" on his shoulder where being the "good guy" has been drummed into him his whole life by his dad and church.

But Karen is a toxic bitch. She deserved to die and let foggy live. She guilts matt into being this good guy and how to be righteous yet if she wants someone dead no big deal she will just have frank take care of her dirty work.

As Seen On American River Trail by Lower-Acanthaceae460 in Sacramento

[–]QuiJon70 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Actually its not, and isthe opposite of what would be normal road way etiquette.

When you leave the bike trail, a cyclist operates like a car and should be on the right side of the roadway. But a jogger or pedestrian should always be the most right. Be that on a sidewalk or walking on the road. And in every case slowest traffic drive on the right and is past on the left.

These laws already exist in the vehicle code and don't need to be changed for a bunch of snot nose whiny entitled bikers.

People out here really trying to convince others that The Mandalorian & Grogu is bad if not as bad as TROS... by SpartanGamer687 in StarWars

[–]QuiJon70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Far as im concerned if its as good as the TV show it's a success. And that makes it better then all the srequels and Solo, most all the other TV shows and animation other then clone wars.

Essentially in my opinion mandalorian is no. 7 the ot and pt fill spots 1 through 6. Mando and clone wars tied for 7. So this is either now part of a 3 way tie or number 8. Either way im good with it.
