Re: What happened to Freedom of Speech???

Is Ass Kisser a rude word?

If it is this post will get censored also :rollseyes:

You know i used to like coming here to express opinions and get intelligent debate but if you cant express yourself without getting your WHOLE post deleted , well something smells in the state of Texas...

1) That wasn't the word in question, as I'm sure you know. And you are free to express yourself, as long as you don't use profanity. If you don't like those rules, there are probably boards elsewhere with rules that suit you better.

2) If, for whatever strange reason, you actually believed that that was the word referred to, why did you type it again after you perceived that you had been asked not to? That indicates to me that you have no repect for the rules of this messageboard. Your permission to post here is contingent upon those rules.

3) "Freedom of speech"? What does that have to do with my messageboard? You can think what you like, but I'm afraid I have no obligation to broadcast or distribute those words.

what peeves me off is not that the post would of been altered, but the whole thing was deleted, thats just out and out utter sad...

As sad as being aware of the rules (otherwise why would you have felt the need to try and circumvent the profanity censors) and going out of your way to deliberately break them? If it had been an accident and you had used a word which I had, for some reaosn, missed in the filter, I would have just edited the word. Since it was deliberate, I didn't bother wasting the time.

In SW:ANH, how is it that C-3PO didn't remember that he had worked for Own and Barue before? you figure that when owen was grilling him about his ability C-3PO would have said "look, idiot - i've done this crap before! FOR YOU!"

oh well, a slight continuity error (unless someone can tell me if i'm mistaken)

Memory wipe. They're common for droids. Also explains why he doesn't recognize the name Obi-Wan Kenobi or even the planet Tatooine in EpIV... I'm guessing. It'd be pretty odd if Lucas just missed that one.

yep, that's probably the only logical explanation. i'm sure the more practical matter for lucas was how to get them all together without wasting some scenes. having 3PO at the farm was probably the easiest and most efficient way to do that.

It may even have actually happened.

At the end, remember when 3PO was re-put back together by R2? And he goes "What a strange dream I've had..." or something like that. It's certainly possible that 3PO is already on his way to losing his memory of "the Maker," Tatooine, etc.

Ok, have just seen it myself. On a whole I say the movie is worth seeing. Here is somethings that I noted from the movie.


First: I find it perfectly fine that Jar-Jar would be dupped into giving over the republics freedoms to Palpatine.

Second: As many people have pointed out Anakin's acting could be termed as poor. Though, I have to admit if they were trying to show that Luke was cut from the same cloth as Anakim Skywalker then they managed to do that. God can the both of them whine and cry like babies. Both actors where given a character that has to whine when it doesn't get its own way. We seem to accept it when luke does it but have a problem when his father does the exact same thing?

Probably my favorite scene is Yoda commanding the Startroopers to wipe out the Starships. Something seemed just off about that scene.


As to Yoda's fighting style. It isn't particularly hard to do those manuevers when you weigh about 50 lbs add can lift a concrete ceiling with your mind. And if your looking for that exact set of manuevers in another movie. You will see that exact fighting style done by the female in "Crouching tiger, hidden dragon".

a good point about the whining. i myself thought that christianson acquitted himself just fine. there were moments when i thought "man, that sounded awkward" and then i had to nudge myself and remember that this kid is just a teenager. teenagers are not supposed to be polished or smooth. even jedi's!

Okay?

It was friggin' brilliant. Jar-Jar went from a totally stupid comic character to a tragic comic character! I love him now!

I have a suggestion. Go to the movie again, remove the cloth that you were obviously wearing around your eyes the first time as well as the ear plugs.

I actually had high expectations about this movie. I felt that Ep 1 was mediocre, not bad. I felt that the 'boycott' movement was childish and prejudiced. Nonetheless, I still thought it was a very, very bad movie. Obviously, you didn't.


Is that really so hard to accept?

I know! I marvel at that Uncle George pulled this one off... I really felt for Jar Jar. Poor lonely senator from Otoh Gunga, pawn of Palpatine.

I felt sympathy for Jar Jar when he said "Meesa bustin' with happiness seein' you, Ani!" and Anakin ignored the sentiment, mumbling something about Padme. I thought- Jar Jar's an annoying EpI wrecker, but he never meant anyone any harm. Why can't you return his earnest greeting, you moody little Dawson's Creek cast-off?

I hate to say it, but I just wanted to give Jar Jar a hug.
