Lets be honest. I think this can be the tag line for 99% of MUSH involvements.

I literally have no dog in this fight. Im just doing good old fashion trolling.

Someone needs to learn tact.

Whats insane to me is that there was no plan for this trilogy and the plan for the third movie is only now being formulated. (I believe I read that JJ Abrams made his third movie pitch last week?)

I get it. The original Star Wars Trilogy wasn't completely planned. A New Hope was filmed and shot so that if it wasn't well received it could stand on its own.

Star Wars is now a 6-7 Billion dollar franchise and they are just... fucking... winging it?

I guess if you just pump a few million dollars into marketing and buying off reviewers, it doesn't matter what crap you make.

I almost want a thread of just the opening inspiration for a MU*, funny or serious.

After the 48 hour bender from the night before, the tired lawyer awoke from his coke and semen covered coma. The groupie from across the country that played his IC sister snored loudly next to him, her foot dipped into one of the twelve cat food bowls that surrounded the bed. His brow furrowed as he didn't remember having any cats but then Tony the Pyrofox laughed out manically as the thirty fifth marathon of the new My Little Ponies Transformers Cross Over Series played over Cartoon Network, reminding him of why he needed the cat food.

He snugged his latest conquest gently, placing a cat bowl on her head as he got out of bed and headed to his PC. On his phone he checked when his next Krav Maga lesson would be and decided if he wanted Pizza Hut or Dominos. He decided on Dominos as he knew the Vampire OOC channel liked Dominos. Logging on to his favorite MUSH of the month he gasped when he saw the foreboding text splash cross the screen of black, white, and neon-cyan. "You have been site banned."

"B-but my request for my Dragon was suppose to be finished today... DAMNIT' I"LL MAKE MY OWN MU*! After... I finish looking at my high school gym class yearbook."

What is the monthly quota on maving explicit and graphic TS scenes to random people "accidently"?

I also watched Bright past night. I enjoyed it and would happily watch a sequel.

Can we get some sex code? I need to know how effective my gunderflaghzebshurzsrafflefichsticken is at spreading the genes of the master race.

Malazan Book of the Fallen.

I need to read that damn series. If only I can get through book 1.

Get through Book 1. I know its hard. I know. Its a very oddly written book. It leaves you with so many questions. For the first 200 pages I was just like "What the flying fuck is happening. Who is that? What the fuck do they want? Whos good? Whos bad?"

Towards the end it slowly starts to come together. Slowly. Action explodes, it becomes awesome. Book two is a god damn fantasy classic in my mind. It gets better after Book 1, so much better. After reading up to book 7 it was obvious to me that Steven Erikson imagined a true epic. He built an entire world, down to the ruins in the soil. And it takes more then 1 book to get it out. But god damn is it worth it.

Excel is good. Excel is life.

Seriously Excel skills should be taught in school. Same with learning how to do your taxes...

I've been playing for about two months or so. Picked a character randomly that I liked the general premise of and the name. Once I got in took a peek at their secrets and it was pretty cool. Nothing like "YOU ARE ACTUALLY A BASTARD NOBLE OR SON OF A GOD." But certainly a lot there.

I knew I would love it here when in my first GM scene that I just walked into, without any prompting from myself, the GM paged me some pretty pertinent information that only my character would know and really shaped the direction of my RP.

There is Landis's script. I actually like it a little more. Darker tone. Haven't read it completely tho.

Netflix confirms Bright sequel.

ETA: Original screenwriter Max Landis will not return. (which means my dialogue issues may be resolved, thank god.)

The dialogue was Ayer, who is returning. Max Landis's script in its original form is pretty different then the Bright we got.

Damnit.

I mean if they pump some fucking life into Will Smith I think he can get the bad dialogue through.

He was the weakest part of the film for me except for a few moments where he wasn't phoning it in.

For anyone who likes horror, westerns, or Jack Ketchum novels (it's not based on one of his novels but it plays out like one) I highly recommend the movie Bone Tomahawk. It's available for streaming over Amazon with their Prime service. The movie synopsis reads: When a group of cannibal savages kidnaps settlers from the small town of Bright Hope, an unlikely team of gunslingers, led by Sheriff Hunt, sets out to bring them home. It's got a pretty decent cast too with Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Richard Jenkins, and Matthew Fox in starring roles.

I think you kinda gotta put a... gore warning?

That movie turns the dial to 11, then decides it isn't content being a spinal tap meme and rips the dial to 20.

Bone Tomahawk is not for the faint of heart.

Just wait; the female Dr. Who arrives tomorrow.

Matt Smith ruined Dr. Who for me.

None will be as good as him.

I don't see that she was talking about you, but not in the way that implies. You disliked the movie. You had reasons.

You are not rabid, frothing hate at the mouth. She specifically said hate. You do not hate. Waaaay diffefent.

ETA: There were literally Reddit groups coordinating and campaigning to drive down the ratings. THAT is what she is characterizing as the MRA stuff.

Except any dissent and dislike of the TLJ is being characterized as trolling MRAs.

Thats what I have been seeing.

David and I watched Bright as well. I thought it was great, and critics are maybe being a little jaded about it.

Jaded with a mix of Netflix hate I think.

It looks like the Rotten Tomatoes reviews for Last Jedi were trollbombed. Huh.

It would be nice for once for something to not be politicized.

Because really what I needed with my shitty star wars movie was Trump.
