[CS Lounge] Happy holidays

((((Whooooooa!))))
[[[Watch out!]]]

J.J Abrams let slip a potentially big spoiler for the film in a media interview.

Ughash here! Thereā€™s a new forum bug atm but itā€™s being worked out.

Anywho!! Iā€™ve had the last 2 Star Wars movies spoiled on these forums, fool me ones shame on me, fool me twice shame on me too >.<

One guy during WOD/Legion had a misleading title and spoiled the whole movie when you opened the thread. I almost got, got when end game came out. But I think I dodged them pretty well:)

Once Thursday hits Iā€™m taking a forum hiatus till I can see it, as well reddit break and discord break :joy:. Iā€™m a giant Star Wars fan and Iā€™m gonna try my hardest not to get spoiled.

I hope the Star Wars fan mods get to see it a midnight release as well >.> I donā€™t envy the mod team.

Uh oh.

Whatā€™s this one doing?

think i remember thatā€¦was it for Last Jedi?

i havenā€™t seen the new Star Warsā€¦other than Rogue One (which i honestly enjoyed a lot really)

but i have no intention of seeing Rise of Skywalker, as i heard Force Awakens and Last Jedi werenā€™t that great. (both were spoiled here on the forums in GD anyway, soā€¦yeah.)

Talked to a GM he said itā€™s just a matter of time from there end. Started happening 2 hours ago. Basically itā€™s telling me I need at least have a level 10 toon to post. However on mobile I can post on this guy lol!

I quite liked both and thought they were quite good. The Force Awakens wasnā€™t high cinema, but it was definitely better than the prequels. As for TLJ, while I can see why a lot of people didnā€™t like it, I thought it was the most creative Star Wars movie since Empire.

It happened to both!!! Lol! Forced awakens got spoiled while I waited in line to see itā€¦ I was really upset as a die hard Star Wars fan. I tricked myself into thinking ā€œoh theyā€™re just trolling they donā€™t know what really happensā€. Think the thread was a genuine casual GD question and when you opened it all in caps was the spoils.

This is why i avoid general.

I have a friend that tried it a few times and noticed that the expiration date on most of his items were expiring and so he went to check and the items he got were the oldest on the shelf.

I prefer to select my own stuff and fresh looking.

The fans have split in many ways over the years. There was a split when the prequels started. Another when the prequels ended. Another when the originals were remastered and altered. Then another when Disney took the IP.
Too many opinions now.

Solo got a bad reputation via protest over ep 8.

Personaly i hated the prequals 1 was allrite 2 fell to the romance curse 3 best part was the last obiwan and anakin fight and the armor placing.

I really loved solo! >.> and the prequels
<.< episode V will always be my fav, but episode 3 will be right under it:).

I just wished the newer movies stayed in 2-3 areas and fleshed it out more, with less CGI. I think thatā€™s why I love mandalorian so much, people in costumes and way less CGI!

Like episode 4 it starts in tatooine, millennium falcon, Death Star, rebel base. But all the areas they did visit felt really immersive and fleshed out and a lot going on in the world around them. Where in the new ones you canā€™t really take it all in because itā€™s moving so fast (in terms of the story).

Might just be the new generation of movies tho, not many take their time anymore. Except for once upon a time in Hollywood.

I havenā€™t had too many issues with HEB Curbside Pickup. Iā€™d never buy groceries at Wal-Mart though. xD

*totally bought groceries at Wal-Mart when he lived in college though >_>

Gonna make tamales tomorrow, gonna throw a pork butt roast in the slow cooker tonight. My masa is already made up.

ā€¦om nom! That sounds delicious.

Iā€™m getting the fixings to make spaghetti with meat sauce with my homemade sauce recipe tomorrow.

(I just wish that I knew how to make homemade sauce from the vegetable and not canned tomatoes, alas.)

There is is bunch of fans who will not let go of Legends Continuity. Even though Lukas warned everyone many years ago that he would break those stories if needed. Especially, if he got around to making the sequels himself. The Solo Twins were doomed decades ago and the fans need to get over it.

Quite easy, get some fresh tomatoes, chop them up, put in sauce pot, ad a little wine, some water, some olive oil and Italian seasoning. If you want it smooth, use one of those hand blenders (I call them boat motors)

How remarkably specific! :stuck_out_tongue:

Because you make them to your preference.

I understood the basic theory. I meant more ā€œHow to start from the base vegetable and still get the consistency that I likeā€ - so how many tomatoes, how much olive oil, etc.

I should look into that, though not tonight. Iā€™m DMing a Dresden Files RPG session tonight.
