Things You Just Don't Care About

lol sorry I have no horse in this race, this is a legitimate thing I don't care about

But starwars ~d i s c o u r s e~ is Extremely Bad and far less welcome than US politics obv

I maintain that there is absolutely nothing in Luke's characterization that is inconsistent with anything we've seen before and anyone who thinks so is not paying attention.

Dudes, do we care about this topic or not?

obv there was a lot of fuss surrounding The Phantom Menace in 1999, but did the the second and third prequels get much attention when they came out? I don't remember hearing much about them at all

true, although i was a kid when the prequels came out & was very amped and very exposed but yes The Phantom Menace absolutely got wayyyyy more coverage than the others. maybe because everyone hated it ( i loved it). with these, it's like... really? do we need more star wars movies. i was so into them all as a kid, and by the time TFA came out i just didn't give a shit (saw it tho, was ok). i remember the excitement in 98/99 and the buildup, the mystery, the mythic status of the first 3 movies because there were only 3 and they came out many years ago.

xp woops lol no more star wars posts

this is why i want to know about Finn. what is his story? where is he from? he had PTSD from being a storm trooper.

1. He comes from the First Order, where he's been since he was a tiny little boy, being trained all his life to be a good trooper. There's a picture and everything in the movie. What else do you need to know? How could it possibly help the movie to know more, rather than satisfying whatever itch you apparently need scratched?

2. That portion of his character arc was completed in TFA. He was terrified of the First Order finding him and fully prepared to run away from Maz's castle with the two smugglers, then saw Rey being taken by Kylo Ren and realized there were things more important than his own safety and peace of mind.

God damn some ILXors are fucking bad at watching movies.

Please stop

prequels were stupid but harmless. this actively takes a series that ended on a message of non-violence (Luke throwing away his weapon is when he won, he would let the Emperor kill him rather than fight). the new series is like nah, that was bullshit. violence is cool. "The war will always go on." great message.

i mean i enjoyed watching it but it was dumb as fuck and it is annoying to see everyone dismiss that with "lol you aren't good at watching films"

Do you know what's annoying?

Can you absolute arseholes get the fuck out of a completely unrelated thread while discussing a newly released movie

You total dicks

lmao gtfo this thread yall

dmac otm

Hank solo dies

Are there Last Jedi spoilers happening here? I care about not having this movie spoiled.

Yes, thanks darragh, my passagg approach was not connecting.

TBF, this confusion could've been circumvented if Rian Johnson hadn't insisted upon the title Star Wars Episode VIII: Things You Just Don't Care About.

The way I look at it, regardless of topic, if you have to write 20 paragraphs about why you don't care about something, perhaps you are not really in touch with your true feelings

Mods feel free 2 delete my posts, I said I shouldn't have done it and I shouldn't.

I just want to give a shout out to all those posters who really don't care about something to the point you haven't even posted about it on here. Respect!

I'm kinda glad I didn't care for the couple of star war films I watched cause it means I don't have to pick a side in the NOT MY GHOSTBUSTERS -vs- omg Kelly Marie Tran stroked a kitten IM WEEPING wars of 17

I despise Star Wars with some considerable energy, so I can't really say I don't care. I've hated it since a child abuser forced me to watch all of them in one marathon sitting in Bradford in the 80's.

adam: start a livejournal for all these feelings having & stop with the cropdusting. you’ve done this on 3 threads so far that I’ve counted. ENOUGH!!!
jfc

lol cropdusting
is that a thing people say? i thought it referred to walking while farting but this new usage makes sense too :)

^^^

(I assume vg is using the driveby fart definition p much)

i didnt intentionally mean it in the fart sense but it feels apropo in hindsight lol

apoopoo

lol star wars fans are the worst huh

It's not so much that I don't care (I have friends and family who live there, quite aside from anything else) but I do kinda resent/lament just how much of your shitty dumb politics we all apparently have to know about. Obv this is amplified by the internet but like constant updates on whether an election in Alabama would be won by a paedophile or a non-paedophile, it's pretty wearying - you'd legitimately wonder if we actually did have our own problems sometimes, the inordinate attention paid to this shit over here

this this this this this. so utterly utterly sick of our media covering america like we live there. we do not.

tbh it breaks up the wall-to-wall Brexit

it does

More other things really should break that up. Current events in Philippines seems underreported.

What events? (see what I mean)

who is president (unless eric b)

TBF, 'Duterte gunning for title of World's Most Garbage Human' isn't a new development per se.

Mr Jones and what his accomplice get up to in the 90s hit song 'Mr Jones' by Counting Crows as told from the perspective of said accomplice.

Migos

and trap, which is the worst thing ever

I don't know if much has changed over the year but it's such a crazy situation that it deserves a bit more coverage.

otm re philippines. if i listed a load of crazy despotic lunatics in world power and left off trump, within seconds someone somewhere would say “you forgot trump”. like anyone on the planet is able to forget that one orange bastard who’s basically the world’s loudest wallpaper.

Well at least today there is a fair bit of reportage on Trump's terrible domestic policies rather than what the cunt says on twitter. But I ignore him about 99% of the time.

We don't really need to hear about Trump's terrible domestic policies is the argument I think.

yep

well I did say I mostly ignore it. But when it is about solid policy, that has been voted through congress, it piques my interests for about 10 seconds.

this this this this this. so utterly utterly sick of our media covering america like we live there. we do not.

Can't we make some kind of trade where news of US politics never crosses US borders, and we here in the US never have to hear about the fucking British royal family ever again?

Fuck that, you can have them as well.

If there was an active Brit poster curated Royal Family thread on here, as opposed to the netflix series, you'd have something to really fucking moan about!
