How to Catass your way in real life... well sort of...

[Fargull]

And you thought trying to handle 10 harvesters in SWG was work

I just can not fathom this...  I mean, damn, maybe it it was in Honolulu or something, but not in Seatle.

Darwin save us.

I hate people. Maybe the government will repo his house.










If he has a house.

There's a potential problem in the long wait. Twieden isn't even sure Episode Three will play the Cinerama.

"That's the assumption I'm going on," he says. "If it isn't, I'll be more than happy to move to a different theater. It's really about the wait."

It's really about being a dumbass.

[toma levine]

People camping the theater lines for episode 1, I could accept. At that point fans had not yet experienced the rape of their childhood.

Episode 3, they really should know better than that.

[Paelos]

Living on the street is the new cool thing now. HE'S HARDC0R3!!1

EDIT: Bear in mind that I too, camped out for episode one to get tickets a week in advance. However, I did it for 16 hours and I was still in high school. I didn't make the same effort for two, nor will I for three.

[HaemishM]

"Star Wars is about independence and freedom," Twieden says. "And that's really what this wait is about. That complete and utter independence..."

Oh and it's about the ultimate goal of slack. I mean, he's SEEN Episode 2. EPISODE 2. And yet he still wants to waste his life like this.

Fucking loser.

[Dark Vengeance]

"Star Wars is about independence and freedom," Twieden says. "And that's really what this wait is about. That complete and utter unemployment..."

Fixed.

Bring the noise.
Cheers.............

I hate to say it, but Episode III actually looks good (trailers can be decieving). Definitely not as good as what this guy thinks, but I'm just sayin'...

My Architecture senior class camped-out for ticked as well, albeit in shifts.  The police & theater owners only let folks camp out for 2 days, but that 8 hour shift was still a blast.   As was the train of 15 cars to the theater that night with with the cardboard Star Destroyer we'd constructed strapped to the top of a VW microbus.

Ahh, if only the movie had been half as good.

If George Lucas showed up at every theater for a sound kicking in the nuts by every fan that buys a ticket then it might be worth going too...

He'd better be. I wouldn't exactly relish the idea of being in the Cinerama's neighborhood after hours. Dodgy doesn't even begin to describe it.

[geldonyetich]

Apparently it's no longer a matter of being in line for a good movie, so much as a time honored tradition to wait the longest possible amount of time to see one of the Star Wars series as some kind of twisted bragging right.

It's probably just a stunt to get media attention so people he's never met will talk about him.   Hah, like that would ever work!

...

Crap!

[WayAbvPar]

If his goal in life was to have complete strangers call him a douchebag, kudos to him. Dinggratz.

I may have to purchase a Super Soaker and do a few drivebys during one of these nice cold nights we are currently experiencing. I AM going to the Center tomorrow night for T-Birds game...

[plangent]

I have to point out in the guy's defense that if any of the denizens here tried a stunt like this they'd probably die of exposure within a week.

I happy for him that he can still get this worked up over a movie.

[sidereal]

Camping out for a movie you really want to see is cool, but new rule:
If you camp out to be first in line, and you get there more than 3 days before the guy in second place, you are banned from ever seeing that movie ever.

[geldonyetich]

I can't help but think that the second guy to wait in that particular line will show up the day before the movie is released.  

But then, it is Star Wars...

So 3 or 4 days perhaps?

[Paelos]

I'm sure I would keel over early on, but the amazing thing that exist in my skull that tells me doing this to myself at the sake of job, family, and personal goals wouldn't be good. I call it intelligence, and occasionally it keeps the regular folk like me from ending up risking injury over a movie.

And no, I'm not happy for him. I'm appaulled that someone obviously is supporting this douchebag since he's not working anywhere, and that is probably his pitiful mother who was wondering when he was going to move out. Congrats mom, your son found a new home on the corner. I hear the rent is great.

[murdoc]

Going by the trailers, episodes I and II looked good too so I have absolutely zero hope for this one.

[WindupAtheist]

Episode 1 veered way too far into kiddie territory with little Anakin, Jar-jar stepping in shit, etcetera, and spent too much time on political windbagging, but then again it does get stuck having to set the groundwork for everything else.  The nice thing is, the bad guys totally win the movie, but half the dumbasses watching never realized it.  If you listen to the happy la-la-la music at the ending victory parade closely, you'll notice it's actually a variation on the Emperor's throne room theme.

Episode 2 was good.  Fuck you.  Yes, Anakin's romantic lines blew ass.  He's been raised in a celibate religious order since the age of eight, of course he's a blathering dumbass when it comes to women.  Padme only fell for his drivel because she's a melodramatic lonely bint who's been too heavily into politics her whole life to get any peen from any non-weirdos.  Other than that, the flick was full of badassery and quite entertaining.

Episode 3?  Lucas has been yammering for years that it's going to be so "dark" he worries nobody will like it.  Which... yeah... makes me think he's out of touch with his fans.  I have a good feeling about it.  Have you seen the still from the movie where Count Dooku is cowering before Anakin, both hands severed, while Anakin is poised to lay the chop on his ass with dual-wielded lightsabers and Palpatine looks on gleefully.

[murdoc]

Episode II had a potentially good story get royally and completely fucked up by some terrible acting and some retarded plot decisions. In the hands of a real screenwriter and a real director, that movie could of kicked ass.

Lucas should of laid out a timeline/storyline and let someone else write the screenplay and direct the movie. The elements are there for some great stuff, but the execution is utter shit.

imo

[eldaec]

Episode 2 was good.  Fuck you.  

No, it was even worse than episode 1.

Episode 1 would have been acceptable if Jar Jar had been removed and Anakin was at least 16 years old.

terrible acting and some retarded plot

To be fair, I tend to think the actors did all they could given the innappropriate casting and godawful scripts.

[schild]

Star Wars sucks so much ass. Talk about Indiana Jones. Or Lethal Weapon. Hell, any other trilogy/quadrilogy/whatever is better. Talk about freaking Nightmare on Elm Street. Just don't talk about goddamn star wars.

[WindupAtheist]

You might have been right about OMG WoW SUXORZ, but I shall fight you to the death on this!  Star Wars fucking owns.  Star Wars owns the shit out of Lethal Weapon, not to mention pussyfart like Star Trek.

[schild]

I forgot Star Trek would be included. Yes, that ranks UNDER Star Wars. Along with the Child's Play series, Puppetmaster and Hellraiser. Let's not even get into Tremors. Stars Wars is still shit though. Stop being nostalgic.

I forgot, if it didn't get filmed in Japan, it's not great, right?

[Big Gulp]

Camping out is fucking stupid in any context.  Without ever being obsessed about it I was able to see the Phantom Menace and FOTR on the first day just by walking up to the ticket booth a half hour before the showing.

How is seeing the fucking movie 8 hours before me going to improve your life?  What's the goddamned point?

[WindupAtheist]

Stop being nostalgic.

You can't make me!

[Jayce]

Episode 2 was good.  

I was (sort of) with you on the UO stuff.  But come on - episode 2 not only didn't make sense as a standalone movie, had godawful acting (3PO one-liners, worst death scene ever (schmoo skywalker)), it reminded me WAY too much of that fanfilm American Jedi (google it), and also managed to break continuity with the original three films.

Lucas is a total hack, and while I'll see Ep3 just to fulfill my morbid curiousity, if it's actually watchable I might have a heart attack right there in the cinema.

I plan on having an ambulance on standby.

[HaemishM]

Episode 2 ranked UNDER FUCKING EWOKS. It was that fucking bad. It had a completely assed-up plot; I've seen better video game plots, written by Japanese furry tentacle-fuckers. Hentai has better plots. It felt like a really bad video game plot. First, we'll go over here, then we'll go over here, then for no good goddam reason, we'll go over here where it's dangerous. Lucas can't even decide what he wants Jedi to be. Are they policemen? Are they military men? What the fuck are they?

Character names. I mean, Dexter Jettster? WHAT THE FUCK? No sentient being who can understand the language would let someone call him that. COUNT DOOKU? YOU WANT TO SADDLE ONE OF THE GREATEST BADASS ACTORS IN OUR TIME WITH A NAME THAT SOUNDS LIKE A HUMAN WASTE PRODUCT? WHAT ARE YOU, FIVE? FUCK! Veins start pulsing in my head every time I think about the injustices heaped on Christopher Lee by Lucas and Peter Jackson in the last few years (see the extended Return of the King for Jackson's part). Kung-fu puppet Yoda? I mean, what? Does Lucas seriously think that making Yoda jump around like a four-year old on fucking meth is supposed to make us think he's bad ass? Jedi that old aren't bad ass because they can be Jet Li, they are badass because they can kill you with a flick of their fucking finger, you retard. Read your own fucking stories. Neither Obi Won or Darth Vader were gymnastic kung-fu artists, they were Jedi.

And then the CGI... fuck me, I thought I was watching Roger Rabbit in 1984. No, wait, Roger Rabbit blended animation and real live actors better than this shit. You mean to tell me that instead of hiring someone to do a goddamn mat painting or set backdrop, you thought it would be a better use of resources to film a scene of 3 Jedi walking down a hallway talking on a bluescreen and then paste in some shitty background? It looked like monkey ass. By the time you get to the parts that should matter, like the Jango Fett/Obi Won fight, you are BORED SHITLESS. And I wrote better love scene dialogue in second grade. That was just painful to watch. Meg Ryan romantic comedies have more believable love dialogue. Fuck, Ayn Rand had more believable dialogue, and all her characters are pedantic mouthpieces for her twisted philosophies.

You shouldn't have gotten me started on Ep2.

[Paelos]

Quick somebody else poke the bear, we might get to his real feelings!

Good to see the hate is still strong in you.

[_savant_]

Wow.

Excellent rant, Haemish.  I haven't seen poetic rage like that in years.

[WayAbvPar]

For some real fun, someone should mention sb.exe before Haemish's blood pressure returns to normal.

And then the CGI... fuck me, I thought I was watching Roger Rabbit in 1984. No, wait, Roger Rabbit blended animation and real live actors better than this shit.

Roger Rabbit was 1989. 1984 was Last Starfighter and Cloak & Dagger.

And I wrote better love scene dialogue in second grade.

I would like to read that.

..and then he put his ding-a-ling in her hoo-ha and then they went out and played kickball.

[HaemishM]

Roger Rabbit was 1989. 1984 was Last Starfighter and Cloak & Dagger.

And all three of those were better films than Episode 2. As was my 2nd grade opus "The Way to My Heart is Kickball."

sb.exe is a holiday on the pleasure planet of hot monkey sex compared to Episode 2.

Wasn't that a Futurama episode?
