Hop Aboard the Wayback Machine! - Niedermeyer's Dead Horse
It's time for a bitchfest. Let's get it all out of our system.
Kids today suck. Parents are worse. Those hipsters and their damn man-buns! You call that music?! There are no real movie stars today. Oh, but I remember when.... Bogie and Bacall, John Wayne, James Rockford, Elvis, the original Guns N' roses.... Those were the days. Let's climb aboard the wayback machine and remember all those things that left an indelible mark on our lives. How a certain song can take us back to a particular moment in time or make us long for a lost love. Then, as we old farts are known to do, let's bitch about how all seems lost and digital music will never sound as good as vinyl. Here. This should get you started.Which ad marked the downfall:

There's still an argument for buying vinyl, especially since most offer you a download of the album or you can just buy it from Amazon and they'll let you download it, too.

Never heard of it? I dare you to name a musical that contained more all-time classics:
- My Funny Valentine
- The Lady Is a Tramp
- Where or When
- I Wish I Were in Love Again
- Johnny One Note
...to name just a few.
Who dares to challenge?

Progressives.
They somehow took the School System, and have taught a generation that hard work is not as important as being a victim. That morality and culture mean nothing... and that history is a viewpoint, not a set of facts.
So, they destroyed the get up and go of a generation of workers.
They then took from the Successful and Gave to the Unsuccessful... and as you get more of what you reward, and less of what you punish...
So an undereducated underperforming Workforce now needs to be replaced with Foreigners...
Because of Progressives.

Posted by: steevy at January 01, 2016 07:36 PM (8HTq1)
The dialogue suggests she was quite familiar with the MF and likely did fly it.
As for be such a natural with the Force, she may be just that: a Force Mozart. Gifted. There is a strong duggestion that she had training from Luke Skywalker before she got dumped on Jakku.
So, I don't find her character any more incredible than the Force itself.

My impression from the trailers is that Bay is going to say he's just trying to tell the story of the people there and not 'politicize' it.
That's the line used to get movies like Blackhawk Down or American Sniper made; it's not about the 'politics,' just the people there.
It's the only way they can get those movies with narratives that implicitly damns the Left released and promoted.

However, I will say that the Obama Reign of Terror has taken the Bad New Days to an extreme I never thought to see. I knew that we had to defend America against external threats, but, I had never truly internalized the warning in the POTUS oath of office about defending America from all enemies both foreign and domestic. The country elected a foreign enemy as POTUS and it will be a miracle if we can undo all the damage he and his ilk have done. Even though I do not believe that he was born in Hawaii, I do not want to get into the whole birther thing, so let's not go there. It is a known fact that he was reared outside of America by a true pig of a woman and her third world paramours whose anti-Colonialism views were horrific. When she finally abandoned him for good with his grandparents, he landed among people who were even more vile. With an honest press, a thorough vetting of his background and vaporware resume would've indicated just how bad he would be, but, we don't have an honest press, so we have been treated to seven years of him lurching ever leftward and lynching the Constitution.

When I was 12 our preacher told us boys 'never get a tattoo you can't show your Mama'. He also said he won't no preacher when he got his 'Sailorgirl' tattooed on his forearm. He was just a-fightin' japs in the Pacific. I guess, after my 22 years Navy, that's how I explain 3 tattoos that won't be seen unless I take off my shirt, and 1 that still won't be seen by any but girls. Good-looking girls.

Worst was the end of the fight..
Swords Locked... him on top with leverage, size, weight, and GRAVITY advantage.. and this guy who has been training with swords.. and has those nice Quillions... hesitates.. does NOTHING...
As someone who has done historic Swordfighting for almost 30 years? Dumb end to the fight..
Fight choreography sucked IMO.

I think you do not understand what happened.
She stopped him. Then she became calm and let the Force flow through her, and then pushed him back, and defeated him.
Put yourself in the SW world and remember the original explanations of how the Jedi use the Force and you will get it.
Yeah, I know it sounds all nerdy, but that is Star Wars. That's how it works.

Truly ugly men with spade beards that they can't stop stroking and petting, particularly that backhand stroke up the neck under the beard to make sure that the hair hasn't caught in their ugly tie and too tight shirt.
Truly ugly plump men in the "new" skinny suits. You are not James Bond, so wear a suit cut for your body type, not someone else's

Then they didn't finish the job when Saddam invaded Kuwait-- Could you believe it? Then they elected Clinton, TWICE, mind you, and spent the next decade pretending terrorism was something that happened to the British and utterly ignoring the growing threats in the MidEast.
What morons!
Then they damn near elect-- and you're not gonna believe this shit-- Al freaking Gore. Yeah, the Inconvenient Truth guy; he was almost fucking President. Then Nine Eleven happens and they manage to get real for a few years.
But by the time 2004 rolls around it's amateur night again. They run a guy who looks like a bad guy from the Disney cartoon adaptation of Oliver Twist against Bush and he gets a lot more votes than he should. Still lost, but holy hell.
By 2007 the lunatics are running the asylum full time. And it's not just electoral idiocy, mind you.
These dumbass Millenials spend about fifty years promising everyone the moon and deficit spending to pay for their cool toys and buy votes from the idiots out there, and it worked. They bury the Federal AND half of the states in debt that's basically impossible to repay. And don't get me started on the culture.
Those man-bun wearing retards couldn't be bothered to notice that their school systems were being taken over by radical feminists and communist weirdos who were running The Long Game on their own freaking children. How tuned out do you have to be to miss THAT?
Of course, you know the result. The up and coming generation is hopeless. Since everything's going to explode on their watch, I think we should call them... Boomers. Has a ring to it, don'tcha think?

The doofuses call those things "gauges" although you could not
measure anything with them, which is the hallmark of a "gauge". What
they really are is "grommets". Or possibly "eyelets".
If you put a bunch of them in each ear, you could run laces between your ears and use them to hold your manbun in place.

Our CEO had just been to some sort of CEO convention where someone else had got his employees to get tattoos. We were on a multi-day trip and he kept egging us on but he wasn't offering enough.
Finally he said "OK, 5,000 options, but only if you can get a complete stranger to do it with you". The other guy who was in on it did what I never could have and started accosting passers-by. It was a sidewalk cafe in Miami. It only took him three tries.
I went first as a sign of good faith. We paid some kid $200 and the cost of a tattoo to get a dog on his leg.

The world makes no sense because people dramatize everything, trivialize the momentous, and complicate the obvious. Most things are simple, even if they are not easy.

LOL. It's not always the truth. I just get bored with people and things.
Example: I toured an historic home with a friend. In the library was a very serious docent, as well as a huge farm table. Well, I went over to her and said that the talk would be more interesting if she said the couple who owned the house originally conceived their child on that table. She was horrified. When the next group of people came in, I sort of announced that as a hidden fact; one of the guys who walked in said "Wow, we have something in common."
People are just so serious and so effing boring.

Mark Twain once noted that a colossal humbug can be pushed back and forth by inches over centuries, but blown to atoms in a moment of laughter.
I think he is the sage we need for these times. Don't ignore the bullshit, laugh at it, and mock those who push it. Laughter is mankind's greatest weapon. Twain originated the idea, Alinsky stole it. It's American as apple pie, so go ahead and use it.

2. A depressed 62 year old with HIV under control. Is simply tired of working.
And now... this is where your other tax dollars go:
1. I know someone who only wants a "fun high paying part time job" because he's tired of working. So the city is subsidizing him because he's at poverty level. Why is he at poverty level? Lazy. It's as simple as that.
So tired of my hard earned dollars going to people that the government decides should not have to work.

It was a rare occasion when someone bought anything remotely healthy on EBT, and all at prices that I (as the person on the other side of the counter) couldn't afford.

The industry slanted towards this these days. There used to be a higher chance of reward for pacing yourself building towards a bigger audience through various means. Now it's take the money and run. You pretty much have to. I'm not saying nobody can do it now, but it's a much greater risk. There probably won't be a "second shot" or "follow up albums" anymore, using the old progression "model".

If you saw what Leftists had turned the majority of women 35 and younger into these days, you might sit around playing video games too. Get your wallet raided and your heart broke enough times and you wonder why you keep bashing your head into a brick wall expecting to knock it down. Good women are a minority in this generation, and in such demand that they're nearly all in committed relationships. All that's left for the average guy are the psycho-feminists and other assorted crazies.

A great example is Bob Dylan in 1965-66. He already had a successful career as a musician and songwriter. Many other artists were covering his songs. Then he decided to strike off in a completely different direction, and lots of people, including his own fans, hated it. But today those years are almost universally regarded as the peak of his career.

Always ask at parent-teacher conferences why I get recess every 2 hours when I go to a seminar or professional training (because every real instructor knows everyones attention span is limited) and the hyper little kids don't... they all thought it was BS and that the kids do need to go out and burn off some energy and get back in focus for the net lesson, but decisions made about their pay grade.

Also, about "Electric Blue" --
Playboy Channel, late 1980s. Called itself "the fastest hour on television."

Babes in Arms.
Never heard of it? I dare you to name a musical that contained more all-time classics: ...Who dares to challenge?"

"Jersey Boys" seems to pack a punch...
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons have more hits than Pete Rose.

"Jersey Boys" doesn't count because it's just one of those "greatest hits compilation musicals" of recent vintage, in which they wedge a bunch of pre-existing hit songs into a "musical" format. Instead, I'm talking about Broadway musical that introduced the songs. "Jersey Boys" did not introduce any songs.

"Holiday Inn"
It contains "White Christmas" (before the movie of the same name), "Easter Parade" (before the movie of the same name), "Careful, It's My Heart," and a whole slew of other Irving Berlin tunes.
It has Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby on the same movie screen! (Fred plays the cad! Boo! Hiss! ...But you love him.)

"Holiday Inn" was a film. It was never a Broadway musical.
My question was to name the "Greatest Broadway musical of all time." Holiday Inn isn't in that category, so can't compete.
