Wait... New Star Wars movies?
#328651 - 07/25/14 07:44 PM


With Ford and Hamill? Hope they don't suck...

In other movie news, I can hardly wait (I know; I HAVE TO wait, so it's a stupid expression) for 10pm tonight. Gonna check out Lucy. I've always had a thing for super-power themes and possibilities of what happens when controlling ALL of your brain. pyrokinesis (fire starter), telekinesis (zapped, phenomenon)... I always enjoy them no matter how cheesey.

I am going to probably re-watch limitless tonight. Same sort of idea as Lucy.

Lucy... To hear Morgan Freeman, lately host of actual science programming, utter that... bullshit about humans only using 10% of their brains...
...and then... that's the whole premise of the movie.

Just wait. Seeing old people in very slow Jedi action using canes. Don't forget old Leia in slave suit with her old tits hanging down. Gonna make people leave the movie. Jedi cats action be much better.

Another good movie... But nothing like Lucy. In limitless, the guy was just super smart, iirc. In Lucy, she can do all sorts of shit, including telekinesis.

It's in the script and he's an actor.
The myth is widely known (and believed, unfortunately).
Since the myth is so widely known, and money is made by how many people watch it, why not use it to your advantage?
It has entertainment value.

Because saying it makes people dumber. Especially when said by a voice people trust.

Where've you been? Deployed in Asia again? Even so...

Not that I put my faith 100% in reviewers, but Roeper gave it a whopping HALF a star. Wow, burn.

Seems to be hovering around 60% on the Tomato-meter at the moment.

Limitless was actually somewhat realistic. Now, I experience, what I call, psychic phenomena. But most of the stuff people talk about, let alone write into fiction, is nonsensical and dippy. Except for the 'empathy folks'. They obviously are here to suffer in spades. Don't envy 'em.

Hence, trust is not a viable device/function. I don't trust nobodae. I have conviction in my perceptions of things.

This has, let alone infers, much greater implications and ramifications.

That's pretty good.


By the way, folks, if you restrict your net access to only a couple forums, like this one - that means no news, no twitter or facebook, or whatever - NU-THIN - then you will not know of these kinds of things till someone posts about them. Like me.

Maybe so, but you'll at least learn about how black people have a different skin texture than white people, and who can put a price on that? HEHN HEHN HEHN.

Your voice reminds me of Norm McDonald with a hint of Jeff Bridges.

Yes, I long ago heard Bridges myself, and have since been told the same by others before you. Curious, mm? I'll have to check out McDonald, as the name isn't ringing a bell.

Incidentally, vid is removed, as I've been doing a lot of clearing house.
