  • That’s why I ask if they want the full in depth explanation or the short one. Well it happened once during Dune so far, she asked for the full one. I can’t even recall the question but she thought it made more sense after at least, maybe to do with blade fighting and shields, they really hammer it in the novels. Though to be fair any Dune explanation sounds better from the books than either movie, okay I haven’t seen the last half of Lynch’s Dune in decades but the first half didn’t explain things well so I don’t expect the last half to be better from my fuzzy memory.

    Dune may be a bit of a special case compared to the franchises listed too.



  • That’s what it was in 2016 too, there was a thing with Trump saying CA had millions of illegal votes for Hillary and set up a team to prove it. Oddly those findings weren’t really talked about, easy to drown out with the noise he caused every single day of his term. Like there was something with Ivankas trademarksc(patents?) in China and the Moscow tower, I can’t even remember which one he used to down our which anymore.

    There’s a decent chance I forgot which scandels it was in reference to but there was even an article about how he tweeted something to change the news focus.





  • Holy crap I had no idea it was an actual anniversary! I just think in pop culture bits (memes). Neat. I so remember the first time watching it in the early teens, Tarantino can sure write fun random dialogue also sure was fun seeing Travolta be awesome again at the time after the baby movies. Not that I didn’t enjoy Look Who’s Talking,at the time, but who remembers those after Pulp Fiction for Travolta?






  • Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with enjoying your favourite comic book characters on screen, like watching a live action cartoon. Comics don’t make sense all the time, or cartoons, comic book movies don’t have to either.

    If that’s not for you, than to each their own.

    I’ll also say I haven’t enjoyed many DC / Marvel movies for awhile but not because they don’t follow their rules. That’s their secret… They have no rules.

    Okay I may be wrong there but I don’t know offhand one rule a comic story hasn’t broken at a new point. I also don’t read a ton of them but I know they change their mind a whole lot. Also physics goes out the window when you take into account many comic characters. Sure ant man said this, who says ant man was correct?


  • The big finish stories gave me much more appreciation for 5 / 6 / 7, they all have such great adventures and once they find their groove are very well produced. I only add that last bit after listening to the very first handful of stories, they needed a bit of time to get things great.

    Of course 8 we hardly saw, and the movie was meh but I think I enjoy his stories almost the most. I’m a bit of a 7 fan for the audio, maybe cause I always thought Ace was a fun companion but the rolling Rs are fun to listen to heh. Though I haven’t listened to much passed their 100 so need to get more.

    Apologies to not naming the actors I am terrible at remembering spelling and didn’t want to embarrass myself with the time constraints.





  • Depends on the reaching of the action, even if the event was out of their control but going to impact them, say an invasion or war breaking out at their location it’d be warranted. However in a general sense I agree, it causes undue stress if there’s nothing directly they can change.

    People thinking like that is how we get some people fighting for rights, the current fight may not directly impact them but they can see how it’ll impact things in the near future when more rights are changed. I mostly agree with not adding undue stress but sometimes it can be difficult to know when it’s undue or warranted because it can happen quickly once the ball starts rolling.




  • Dunno what OS’s it supports besides Windows but I use Kdiff for random comparisons regularly, I think it works pretty well untill you get to much larger files (20+ MB slows down a lot). The huge file wasn’t code but needed to check output changes for those curious.

    I constantly check git comparison with previous versions to see what changed to break things in a build though. Didn’t know there was a way to diff any files in git,should probably just learn to use that one.
