If you want to get into this I will, but I'm warning you... I don't stop once I've started
That's fan made MMO vaporware, but the last I heard Multiverse had the Firefly license for an MMO and have been sitting on it for years with no progress.
My theory: Bungie now has the license and is making a Firefly MMO. Guaranteed.
There is honestly and literally NOTHING you can say that would change my mind.
There is not a single thing. Not even one. Like a really small one good thing to come out of the prequels. Nothing at all.
Not only are they bad movies. They're poorly written and poorly executed.
What's wrong with your faaaaaaaceeeeeee?
YOU WILL TRY

So you want to create a GIF that shows the possibilites of time travel. Or let me say: It should illustrate an example of time travel. Sounds cool to me.
We need one just like this but in reverse for Mr. Ellis. (Beard comes of = deal with it).
It looks directly into my soul! WHAT SHOULD I DO?! IT WILL KILL ME! ARGH!

I'm not out to change your mind, I'm sad that you're wrong though
.WELL THEN YOU ARE LOST! I don't have a problem with these lines, the entire sequence of "Battle of the Heroes" is fantastic. I can go on if you guys want me too. Also, I have absolutely no problem with Jar Jar, I laugh at him, and I still do!

You're off my friends list, I hope you know that. I also reported you to the cyber police and punched my dog in the teeth because of that post.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.

I think the prequel trilogy are entertaining movies for younger children. I put then right up there with the Spy Kids trilogy.

It's over, Anakin! I have the high ground!
You underestimate my power.
Don't...don't try it!

So there are your favorite movies without beard?

I don't get it. If the high ground matters so much then why was Obi-Wan able to defeat Darth Maul at the end of Episode One?
Haha, wow.
Lots of wrong with that picture.
1. Blizzard I'm not familiar with, but it seems everyone loves them.
2. Rare because the sold out?
3. Don't get why Bungie is on that list.
4. Activision. Not infinity ward.

Thumbs down, Roche. That's not a witty enough reply!

Obi-Wan wants to protect him. You saw what happened. If Anakin hadn't jumped, he wouldn't have lost his legs. That's how I interpret the scene always.

I still, disagree.
I'll tell you one thing, George Lucas can't write a love scene, he couldn't in the original's either.

A New Hope is still one of my favorite movies of all time. Endlessly rewatchable. Empire is a great sequel and excels in its own different way. Jedi is a decent end to the trilogy, save for the walking teddy bears Lucas wanted to sell to children.
It's a shame they never revisited that franchise. Probably for the best though (currently watching the Plinkett review of Indy 4).
I don't know how to make this post relate to Halo without typing out a huge wall of text. I'll just trust Halo 4 will keep the midichlorians to a minimum.

Anakin: Your skin is so soft, so smooth... /actualdialogue
See my above post, I don't think George Lucas can write love scenes, I don't think they were good in the original trilogy either.
In his defense that line about sand is pretty boss.
Indy 4 was great too, I point anyone who didn't like that towards Roger Ebert's review of it.
oh and by the way Nuking the fridge was Steven Spielberg idea! . Why did people have an issue with that though? In the first one he held on to a para scope of a submarine over the entire english channel

Blame my low midi-chlorian count.
Harrison Ford didn't think he could write any scenes that involved actual dialogue.

He did write a love scene. But he can't write a decent one.
All I can say is without breaking my Sci-Fi heart with Episode 1, I wouldn't love Halo like I do today.

Star Wars dialogue was never amazing, but it works. I still think it works.
Now joss whedon can write meannnnn dialogue.

Lucas couldn't write a provoking sentence with the words in front of him. He is a horrible overlord to the SW universe, We would be much better with it being led by a group of talented EU writers from the past

Yeah, but in the first one he also did cool shit. In Crystal Skull he just parroted Danny Glover lines from the Lethal Weapon series.

There we go.
Roger Ebert is an idiot btw. He said the SW prequels were good movies and video games can't and shouldn't be considered an art form.
Also, you only like bad stuff. Why u so sad?

Guys look, I don't think the prequels are as good as the original trilogy, save Return of the Jedi, that is on the same level I believe. They are great movies in my opinion, and episode 2 is the worst of them all, but still good.
You know what is really good Star Wars?
The new Clone Wars Telivision show. Now I'm not talking about that shitty movie, that was actually the first episodes stitched together. It has gotten increasingly amazing since the shows broadcast.
The recent story, or the 4 episode "Umbara Ark", almost at movie lengths time was fantastic. A story that features almost exclusively the clones. In fact one of the episodes with the majority of the fighting was directed by the sound designer from Apocalypse now. The animation is breathtaking, the characters, are fantastic.
The combination of George Lucas and David Filioni is a magic one if you ask me. I love what they have done with the clones, all technically the same person, but they are all so unique. It's not just a "kids show" and watching this ark you really get that picture
They have touched on some pretty big issues, Slavery, God, Meaning of the Universe. Its just so good.
Alright, now Indy 4 is not as good as Raiders, or the Last Crusade, it is better than the temple of doom though.
I think Indy 4 did an amazing job of being relevant for the time period it takes place in, spot on in fact. People like to bash the fridge scene, but honestly, I think that scene is pretty good, it wasn't meant to be taken that seriously, Indiana Jones isn't something you are supposed to take that seriously...

No but it's the closest to still alive that a restaurant can legally serve you.
...I deserve whatever criticisms I get for that one.
Actually, that pretty much fits the description of their current existence :lol
What's funny to me is the older people who say the prequel trilogy is fun for kids were kids when the original trilogy came out and that's when they fell in love with SW. All of the movies are child like really, I don't see the problem. I was pretty young when Episode 1 came out, and I loved it at the time, it's not held up that well, but it still has the best lightsaber duel.
I liked the original Star Trek TV show with Shattner for its cheesiness, but the other stuff, meh.

I have a theory that we like them more then we think we do, but the haters influenced us when we were young.
Note when I was young, in 1999 before episode 1 came out, I saw the three originals in the theaters.
I love Star Trek as well! Enterprise is my favorite, regardless of what people say. I grew up with that as not the first Star Trek I ever saw, but I remember rushing to finish my homework so I could go watch Star Trek with my dad and his friend.

Enterprise. Indy 4. The SW prequels.
Banging. My head. Against. The wall.
Why are you guys getting so upset about it?
I like it so what?
HEY DAX HEY DAX HEY DAX
Season 1 of Deep Space Nine is one of the worst seasons to a television show EVER.
It got a lot better though.
Hovering over the button to get my ticket now...debating on if I should or not.
