Man those SW spoilers.

I have already bought my ticket, but the spoilers are seriously killing my hype to the point where I kinda don't really need to see this movie anymore. Might just give it to a friend or something.

Ya know Im all for knocking certain white people off their high horse and exposing their privilege. Im for protesting and I can even understand the anger and potential violence that can come from being oppressed.

But I'll never get why certain woke blacks folks straight tell white people they hate them or the entire race. Like I honestly never saw how that was helpful at all. I get being suspicious of white people or leery or mistrusting but idk. It seems so unnecessary.

Sony had reps waiting for Kojima as soon as he finished cleaning his desk, I bet.

Shiiiiit. Their guys probably had the car waiting and ushered him out the side door with a change of jacket and sunglasses waiting in the stairwell. Niggas had his gold watch, a dossier, some Champagne and a Cheeseburger ready to go in the back of the limo. Like a motherfuckin don just got out early on a triple lifetime maximum security sentence.
 

Parallax

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
No no you were not. You let your hype blind you from what was really going on. Go back and watch the trailers.

Ive been telling people not to buy into blind hype. I lived that shit with the phantom menace, so hopefully, you all wouldnt have.

no doubt they had insiders on the lookout like "he just got in the elevator. it's moving down" watching the numbers count down.

Some are just overwhelmed by the amount of injustice they realize occurs. It's big insurmountable and seems signally malicious. A lot of woke people don't really reconcile that the reason things don't change or change slowly isn't just because every white person is malicious. There are a lot of malicious people but the major reason any status quo stays the way it is is due to a majority of people being comfortably ignorant and thus apathetic. That's not inherently bad at all but with the amount at stake, I can see why the some woke people could see red when they meet white people who are apathetic or ignorant. They don't get that the reason so many people are that way is pretty much because they literally live in a different world along with a different world view. That can be hard to wrap a head around so it's easier for them to believe all white people must just inherently be full of hate.

Acting out, and feeling the frustration. I mean, it can feel like shouting into the wind, when you start adding everything up and seeing how long its been going on and how fucked some people are, and what it would take to pull them out and how few people are even interested in doing that. Hate and seeing the enemy is one of the steps that some people go through, that they have to get beyond. Like Malcolm and his beard moment.

that hate comes from a very real place, and its not "right" but if you're cut and you bleed, that's not right either. but it's a natural reaction that requires action and healing.
 
I think what bothers me more is the fact that their almost proud of it at times and Im like..why? Like I understand the anger that's easy to understand but the cockiness of it? I guess it comes from trying to make yourself feel better and then going from one extreme to another.

You've been doing this a lot, and I don't think that's fair. Especially when the marketing team spent a whole lot of a time hyping the red herring and got a lot of people's hopes up.

I mean, if you want to blame the millions of potential viewers hyped up by that visual, go ahead. But if there's a backlash, it'll be placed on Disney's feet.

There won't be a backlash. It isn't a red herring. Finn has the light saber for most of the movie. That's why he's in the marketing with it.


My fucking 7 year old guessed that the girl was going to be like Luke because of the trailer.

bait and switch might be an "all's fair" tactic in sales but people do tend to make a stink. It won't hurt ticket sales, but it will affect perception and how the movie is ultimately received by some. But can't tell this soon, if he becomes the new Han Solo, people might walk away with that like they walked away from Best Buy with a new Zune in 2012.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Star Wars is not immune to Hollywood. It's just a movie designed to sell toys.

Nostalgia might have you feeling some type of way but that's pure marketing. Best to treat it like any other trilogy movie; I won't be surprised when the third one is split into two parts either.
 
I know jumping on TotalBiscuit for melting down about Kojima is one thing

But that dude who made that beyond cold blooded comment about him deserves to be thrown into the farthest reaches of the shadow realm, shit ain't even that serious.

Video games make people say the most heinous shit sometimes.

What did TB say. ?
 
What did TB say. ?

TB was going off about the PS4 exclusivity sprouting PC master race nonsense and how consoles hold back PCs whatever whatever.

People in the thread were frying him (rightfully so imo), then some dickhead said "it's not like he's going to play the game anyway, regardless of platform". knowing full damn well TB has terminal cancer. That shit really pissed me the fuck off, especially when I knew people who passed from the shit.

Asshole type of comment.

I don't care about the Jedi part, I care that he is the 4th most featured character behind the Robot. I was hoping for Han but we got Lando.
