Remember the old series "Tour of Duty"? It was about an infantry platoon during the Vietnam war - and there were articles in the Entertainment section of the paper a few months into its run about the decision to kill off one of the "regulars".Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

We all know where debates and disagreements go, ladies and gents. Feel free to start a topic along those lines there and link it in here.

Told a co-worker I saw Rogue One. She said "no spoilers!"
I didn't give any, but I told her that apparently some people are spelling it "Rouge One" (because I suppose they are unsure about the spelling of "rogue"). Her reply: "Those people shouldn't see the movie..."Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.

Quoth Pixelated View PostHeard a coworker say she never falls asleep during movies ... but she dozed off during this one. Methinks she wasn't too impressed by it.

Seems very much love it or hate it, frankly. I liked it, and whilst some of the cameos were pointless or annoying, there were some very nice waves to other films - such as the specific call sign. The first half could have done with being trimmed somewhat, maybe tightened up in many areas, whereas the action in the second half was gorgeous.

One question fans (and detractors) have been asking for decades is "Why, if you're building a terror weapon like the planet-killing Death Star, would you have such a glaring weakness as a reactor that can take out the whole thing if you fire just right at the exhaust port?" Answer? One of the main scientists (who's been forced to work for you after you killed his wife and (possibly) killed his daughter) snuck it in there deliberately before leaking the info to the Rebel Alliance."It is traditional when asking for help or advice to listen to the answers you receive" - RealUnimportant

Sounds like the spoiler "borrowed" and expanded on Hogan's closing line from one episode of Hogan's Heroes. After a bridge was destroyed, the prisoners were going to be used as labour to rebuild it. Another prisoner asked why he was enthusiastic about it, his response was "It will be the only bridge in the world with a built-in bomb".
More on the spoiler:That was stupid of the empire to kill his family in order to force him to work for them. By killing the family, they've neutralized their ability to threaten him with "Do this or we'll kill your family". Highlight to see it.Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
