  1. There's what, 18 years between Sith and A New Hope? Obi Wan watching over and protecting Luke while staying off of the Empire's radar is RIFE with story possibilities. The did a story in the Star Wars comic for a couple of issues showing Obi Wan in exile and those stories were intriguing and illustrated to me where a potential Obi Wan spinoff movie could go. It's really this simple. Make good stories that people like and folks will come to the movies. The asterix with Star Wars is that there is a vocal minority on the internet that muddies the waters and will always have a problem with the newer Star Wars films because an "ick! Girl is in charge!"
  2. Since finishing Outer Worlds I started up a playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. I had only put 3 hours total into it before. Lets see how long it holds me before I tap out. Usually Fallout games get me for 60 hours or so. I think I've approached them wrong before. I also started up Dead Rising 4 finally.
  3. I bet the concept art for the movie we actually got looks just as good as this stuff. You can't judge the finished film by artwork. Who am I kidding? Trevorrow will get an internet career boost for a movie he never made
  4. This is different stuff than what was leaked before and seems more inline with what Trevorrow's outline was. The art is awesome, but that doesn't mean he would have executed it well at all, I agree. We'll never see this movie so
  5. Yeah this wasn't the case in my city. All three magnet schools were predominately black and hispanic, something like 80 to 90%, reflecting the community at large because you had to actually live in the district in order to go to those schools. I worked on a project a couple of years back dealing with education and while there may be some drawbacks to magnet schools, they were found to be more successful than charter schools in closing the educations gap. Also my school didn't have a good sports team so we got nowhere NEAR the amount of funding the other high schools got. I can't speak to what goes on in other parts of the country, but I know that the magnet schools and also the vocational schools, were a net positive when I was there.
  6. Yeah that's what we had in our school as well. I wasn't one of those kids though.
  7. Wait, there's been 14 mass shootings in 2020 ALREADY?! January isn't even over yet!
  8. In my case you had to live in the district (or at least have an address there) but you had to take a test to get into the school and maintain a certain GPA in order to stay there. The idea was that it would take the best and the brightest from the city and prep them for college. Magnet schools have proven to be more successful than charter schools but fell out of favor for some reason. My City had four magnet high schools I believe.
  9. Probably not here, but there are examples of folks who were Bernie supporters last time voting for Trump when Hillary was the nominee. On one of the Twitter posts someone here posted there were Bernie supporters in the responses raising the possibility of withholding their votes to "teach Chuck and Nancy a lesson" if Bernie isn't the nominee
  10. Ninja Theory is one of the best out there when it comes to videogame narratives and performances. Im all for this.
  11. MOVIES: The Eternals Tenet Black Widow Wonder Woman 1984 TV SHOWS: Fargo Season 4 Better Call Saul Season 5 The Boys Season 2 Warrior Season 2 Black Mirror Netflix Kingdom Netflix Mandalorian Season 2 Falcon & Winter Soldier A bunch of others.
  12. My heart goes with Warren but my head goes with Biden. His annoying ass followers aside, I don't have anything against Bernie, I just don't see how he can win to be honest. If he thinks what the DNC and mainstream media are "throwing at him" is bad, then he is in for a RUDE awakening if he becomes the nominee and I really worry about how he does in the South and Southwest.
  13. Finished Blood and Truth on PSVR- 8 out of 10. Game does a great job pf making you feel like you're in an action packed Guy Ritchie movie with great set pieces and gunplay. A well produced story and great performances top it off and the cliff hanger ending has me looking forward to the next installment. I had a great time with this game and with the Sony headset.
  14. I loved this episode so much that I restarted the whole series over... I'm already on season 2
