Anthony Edwards might prove you wrong

I think we're starting to see a shift in the balance of power in the NBA. The youth movement is here. If there is a problem with that, it's that not one of these young stars are capable of carrying the league so to speak.

oh yeah that definitely did… haven’t even thought about it years, even though I use thesubverse as a login on a bunch of websites

Ain't that the truth. Well I'm nowhere near any level of fame and I have no intentions of running for office so I should be in the clear. I'm just glad the subverse got nuked... I hope.

oh hey sup bro

We got archives that would get most of us cancelled today.

So someone in this Discord server I'm in posted a link saying that something like 36% of web content from 2013 doesn't exist anymore. So, of course, I was like I bet this message board from 25 years ago has managed to keep the lights on. Then I punch in the ol' nightly.net and here we are! And, I'll have you know that I only had to wait for my account to be put on a 15 minute hold ONCE while I tried to remember my password. Well anyways, howdy y'all! Crazy that this place is still here and a few names I recognize are still going. I'm sure you get these posts regularly, but I figured I'd drop a message while I was in

Dabney Coleman. He was 92.

The Terminator films give exact dates for their timelines. In the first film Kyle Reese and the T-800 were sent back to May 12, 1984. Then in T2 when the T-1000 searches the police records for John Connor, it shows his birthday is February 28, 1985, which fits in with Sara’s pregnancy timeline. The report also says he is currently 10 years old.

We watched part of it this morning. When the T-1000 enters John Conner's name into the police computer, it lists his birthday as 1985. T2 was released in 1991--obviously John isn't supposed to be six, but with Judgment Day happening in 1997, the oldest he could be is 11-12. EDIT: google says T2 takes place in 1995, but who knows if that's right or not

I had no idea how old he was supposed to be but just from watching the movie there is no way he felt like a 10 year old boy to me. If anything he felt older than the 13 years Furlong was.

I have that movie on Blu-Ray and watched it to the end. I got the 4K version for $14 and stopped watching it, when Rey visited the destroyed Death Star. It was just so horribly done.

Definitely the best. Might be the worst too, but I dunno. I've only watched TROS once and have absolutely no desire to do it again, so maybe it's that

But that’s just it. Connor was supposed to be 10 in T2. He wasn’t playing a teenager. He was playing basically the same age as Anakin given a year or so. Yeah that’s one of the few flaws in the film because there’s no way that’s a 10-year-old kid doing all the things Connor did. He seemed more like 12 at least. But still, if Furlong was older playing younger it still worked. There was no reason the same couldn’t have been done for Anakin. I prefer having that being a “flaw” of the film than the flaw we got with kid Ani. The real kicker is Lucas set Anakin at such a young age because he didn’t think an older kid would be believable as someone who was heartbroken to leave his mother. But THAT’S EXACTLY how “a few years older” Connor was played in T2. It’s not like he stopped missing Sara Connor just because he turned 10 or 11. The character hinged on wanting to salvage his relationship with her. James Cameron just knew how to get that out of his young thespian and write the story around it.

Is The Last Jedi both the best and worst movie of the sequel trilogy?

I don't think its a fair comparison for many reasons. Furlong was about 4 years older than Lloyd when making the movies. Which when the difference is between 13 and 9 while filming is a huge difference. If you wanna say Anakin should have been older in TPM then fine, but thats your issue. The difference between building the movie around a teenager and a little boy.

I'm still decorating my glam bedroom and today I got a rug pad and rug. It's too dark for the room and I'm bummed. I'm not sending it back. Things like this don't sell down here. I just wasted a hundred and fifty bucks I coulda smoked instead.

That trailer is amazing! My above list holds. TWOK is a transcendent film. At its core, it's just a good Star Trek story. On top of that, it was a sequel that allowed Kirk to age and become fallible, which was a unique twist. It also was sort of the real modern reinvention of Trek. Yes, TMP had updated the look and effects, but TWOK set the tone for pretty much every Trek that's come since, save for TNG, which was very much Gene making a sequel to TOS after he lost control of the films. But then on top of all that, it was a great sci-fi story, playing with one of the core genre tropes-- man playing god. On the character side, to show Kirk's aging arc, they give him a son who hates him, and an old enemy who he straight up forgot about coming for the hardest revenge he can get. And oh yeah, 80's ILM doing some of it's best work ever to create space sequences that even at over 40 years old, are still some of the most realistic spaceship scenes ever seen in a movie that still hold up. All of these elements, and literally none of them missed the mark. Even Shatner's acting is on point in a way that is above and beyond anything else he's ever done.

The one thing that I think stands out for the Series-X, is that your digital purchases on the original Xbox 360, will transfer over to your Series-X. I haven't seen any hint that my PS3 digital titles will do the same.

I'm not going to go through a ranking list. I'll just say that The Wrath of Khan is at the top. It's right up there with my favorite television episode "The Balance of Power". That episode, along with "The Wrath of Khan", showed why James T. Kirk was a legendary captain in Star Fleet. His decisions, along with the excellence of his crew, were put on full display within both of that episode and film. They both showed a Starfleet Captain in complete control of the situation.

Not to rehash all this again, but all this week they’ve been running The Terminator franchise on one of the networks. I caught T2 a few times and left it on while I did whatever I was doing. I couldn’t help but think how underrated Edward Furlong’s performance as John Connor was. That's the Anakin we should’ve gotten. If you are going to revolve a major franchise around a kid character, James Cameron showed how to do it. Yes it’s two very different storylines with one being R rated. But in the wrong hands T2’s John Connor could’ve gone a similar route as Anakin in TPM.

This engine is woke! HAHA!

TPM is the most anti-woke film out there! All the good guys are white. All the bad guys are foreign. There’s a Karen giving attitude and telling everyone what to do. The good guy planet of white people keeps the non-whites away from their beautiful lands and cities and forces them to live in the swamps. Even the good guys who are not white (like Panaka and the Jedi Council) are constantly questioned and dismissed even though they are right.

The weather this year in Texas is WILD!
