The Bashers' Sanctuary Strikes Back

Well AOTC out soon. Well probably have a lot to discuss here. Hopefully the mods will let us have our conversation in here too.

 

Although I feel a great weight has been lifted from the forum ), you have my condolences.

Carry on.

 

Man, I don't use the internet for a couple of days, come back on and find out my entire little TheForce.net world has been torn asunder. First I realise the computer i'll be using for the next month or so is still logged on to this old username and i've lost all my passwords, then I find out that two of my favorite classic threads have been whacked. Someone had better save Quaff's TPM forum dictionary before it's too late, or is that gone too?

 

NOOOO!


The sanctuary was our only hope.













No, there is another.

 

Gone. Just as the Gusher Suplemental Sanctuary, TPE thread, Gusher Sanctuary, Royal Handmaidens Society and LOTR: an apt comparison. What's amazing is that we didn't come back and see them locked. They just vanished. I went to my post history and not a sign that I ever posted in any of those threads. It was like I imagined the whole thing. I didn't, did I?

 

i know, this indeed is a great tradegy. soldiers are fighting a war, people in poor countries are scraping for food, the violence in the Middle East appears to have no end, but we all must mourn this immense tradegy here at the JC.

 

Forgive my intrusion, but do you think the vanishing of the old thread was a sign from the midichlorians that it's time to give up bashing, or at least put it on hold until after AOTC comes out? I wouldn't go against the will of the Force if I were you.














Sorry, Binary, I'm just fooling with ya. Have fun

 

I'm annoyed that Quaff's dictionary is gone; unlike most of these threads, that one was actually worth re-reading from the start.

For the record, DarthTunick, I'd say this is a disaster roughly equivalent to the combined sum of every human conflict since weapons were invented by those monkey-suited humans in Kubrick's 2001. And I say that with utter seriousness. Hell, I?ll even use a sneery blank face to convey the sheer seriousness of my statement:

Hell, here's four of them:



That's pretty damn serious, as I'm sure you'll agree. Pretty damn sneery, too, I'd say, and the kids here sure love to sneer, so this should fit right in.

 

Is the index thread gone too?

 

FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY!!!! No sooner had I posted (I may have been one of the last, in fact, right after Hawk) than the thing just VANISHED!

"That's what I'm tryin' to tell you kid, it's not there. It's been totally blown away."

 

It wasn't my fault! But I'm glad Binary_Sunset made a new thread. To quote my icon (this will look silly if I ever change it to a different character, like Beru or something), but, "Good job!" .

 

Hey, tell me, I never go to the basher-gusher threads, but was that Official Gusher Thread deleted to? And if so, was another one started?



ST

 

Not yet, no, but I think we'll let DarthSeti5, who made the first one, do the honours there. I'll message him in a moment or two.

 

PATRICK RUSSELL "Our position's correct, except... no basher sanctuary."


Thats the funniest thing I've heard all weekend

Is it just me or does this icon look like the leader of some radical hippie Death Cult from the sixties? Turn down the contrast on your monitor, it makes it look like he's got long black hair. Maybe the Jedi are really cultist?

>>>Speaking of posts: Rabid Balding Ewok, was it you? WAS IT YOU?! Did you post the last post that doomed our old Sanctuary?!<<<

It wasn't me it was ..... *looks around the new sanctuary** it was Stryphe.... yeah thats the ticket. He was the last to post in it and then he quickly changed his icon to cover it up.

RBE succesfully passing the buck since 1974.

You guys suck, "We lost all of our bashing threads, whaaa, I go away for a couple of days and all our posts are gone, whaaa", why don't you just get over it, I can't believe I sifted through 2 pages of this crap. Some bashing thread.
Well, here is my TPM gripe, the whole Gungan race, not just JarJar are completely stupid! Forget all the annoying crap JarJar did throughout the movie, at the last battle why didn't the Gungans just place a bunch of their "paintballs" in front of them in and outside their shield, the Droids were'nt too bright, they would have walked or rolled right into them and the Gungans wouldn't have lost so many warriors. DUH, I guess that the Gungan Grand Army isn't too bright either!! 2 stupid Armys having at each other, whoo hoo.
Well thats it, back to all those stupid post that have nothing to do with the topic. Later.

 

[pauses for a moment in remembrance of the old Sanctuary]

... Now back to business.

"C'mon, I want some serious sarcasm in here. How bout a slew of sarcastic TPM monologues, that would be really swell. "

Qui-Gon: Do you have a transport?

Amidala: No. I'm only the Queen of the entire planet. I go everywhere by foot. Here's your sign.

 

You want sarcasm? Here's some:

I think TPM was an absolutely flawless film.

Feel better now?

 

I do like the new title of this thread.

So, where do we start? I mean, we had over 5,000 posts of good bashing, so should we just repeat it all over again?

 

Yes. Word for word.

 

Well, if you remember, shortly before the old thread vanished, I emphasized the importance of two things:

1. reading the entire thread
2. memorizing it

I believe Stryphe said he had the 5500 posts memorized. So I'll let him do the honors and re-post the first 100 of our old posts.

 

What the heck happened? Was our thread locked or something? Why?

 

Does anyone else believe Boss Nass was the worst performance of TPM? It was all just so hammy and over-the-top. I think Boss Nass is even worse than Jar-Jar; the only reason why I don't complain about him as much is because he was only in a couple of scenes, where as Jar-Jar was in the whole damn movie, so he leaves a far greater impression. I mean, think about how much worse TPM would have been if Boss Nass was in the whole movie.

 

O yeah. Last time I saw it I was almost (NOOOO, don't say it) laughing at Jar-Jar's antics, but watching Boss Nass was truly an excrutiating experience.

What is it with the Gungans anyway? Their city was a masterpiece of set design, but what on earth was a supposedly primitive race doing living in such an obviously technologically sophisticated city? Also, if they're amphibian, apart from the fact that they look supremely unsuited for swimming, why do they need a city filled with air at all (apart from the fact that it permits Boss Nass' jowl-wobbling/spit-spraying?)

Another question: Does anyone else think the spaceship designs in TPM were derivative and uninspired, not to mention forgettable?

 

I actually thought the space designs were great. I thought the art direction and production design was pretty well done. I'm afraid I can't say the same for the story and characters.
