Tell the ones that need to know , we are headed north .

There's been a lot of chatter lately over a Huffington Post article about 40 unforgivable plot holes in Star Wars the Force Awakens . I haven't read it because it did have tons of plot holes like all Star Wars movies and all popcorn movies and pretty much all movies ever . I love Star Wars , but this isn't a taut political thriller , its a space adventure with weird aliens and swords made of light - its not meant to be taken too seriously . But Matt Granger apparently feels quite differently , if you haven't checked out his rebuttal to the HuffPost article you should , its pretty funny . Here's a couple highlights ;

Kylo Ren, a powerful Force-user, fights a light saber duel with an ex-janitor who has never held a light saber.

Actually, the “ex-janitor”, Finn got his ass handed to him. He lasted about thirty seconds against Kylo Ren. Not only that, but he ended up sliced open and left for dead. What the fuck are you talking about?

But let’s entertain this dumb-ass statement a little more. First off, Finn was a Stormtrooper assigned to sanitation, much like other Stormtroopers would’ve been assigned to various departments around the base. Nowhere in this movie is it said that Finn was a janitor. Not once. And how does he hold his own in combat against Kylo Ren for as long as he does? I’d hazard a guess that Finn was trained in the same fashion as the badass, laser-baton wielding Stormtrooper he fights at Maz Kanata’s castle. Setting up the Stormtrooper skill-set is the whole point of showing that fight. Which incidentally, is actually the first time he holds a lightsaber, not when he fights Kylo. Learn why<b> scenes </font></b>are in movies, dude. It’ll help you not make embarrassing statements like this.

11. Kylo Ren is the head of the Knights of Ren, but there are no other Knights of Ren in the movie.

Except for the six guys you see in Rey’s vision. Idiot.

22. How lame is Han's attempt to convert his ?

What? By talking like a dad? By offering him anything he needed, including his life, in one of the most awesome, double-edged<b> scenes </font></b>of the entire series? Yeah. Pretty lame

29. Who trained Rey to fight with a staff as effectively as she does, given that (a) she is an orphan with no friends or family, and (b) she has never been in a battle, but is, rather, merely a scrap-metal scavenger?

Dude. Wander down to the poorest part of whatever town you’re in and pick a fight with a mangy little mutt of a guy. The smaller the better. Once you’re out of the hospital, you’ll realize that people who are forced to survive in the harshest environments don’t train to fight. They learn the hard way and they get really, really good at it.

This dude was clearly pissed , the article would have been better if it was a little more light-hearted , its just a movie after all , but I guess people have strong feelings about these kind of things . At the end though he expresses that his anger might not be able Star Wars at all ;

We are very close to reaching the end of social media’s usefulness. Anyone with a keyboard can write anything they want with little to no training or skill. More often than not, the articles don’t even need to be true or have any sort of back up research and sadly all it takes is a bold, contrarian statement to convince people who aren’t interested in doing research for themselves that something wildly incorrect is truth. This extends from simple movie reviews to horrifying humanitarian crises. Actual news has become a rare commodity and we are little more than targets for advertising and electoral votes. We are being fed stupid disinformation and tricked into thinking we have knowledge that we don’t actually have.

There's a little note under my blogbox that says "ADMIN: Change to class" what the heck is that ?

Today is the last day of my inexplicable Gold month - the best I did was a couple women who were clearing stringing me along in case their other options fell through .

At what point do you stop learning things about yourself sexually ? Am I going to be a 65 year old dude finding out for the first time I like nipple clamps ? Or by that age if you like nipple clamps have you already found it out ? I suppose it depends on the person . The depth of the well if you will . Some people don't have a lot to discover , some do . And its cool either way , because we're all humans you know ?

And finally , did you know that you can order pizza with cheddar cheese ? I didn't . Is that something I want ? I don't know .

Hmm, this is the word blog I've blogged in a while . Sorry . But not very sorry .

Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

Coincidentally, I have an older friend who only discovered in the last few years that he was into nipple pain. At the time he was sending me emails about sneaking off to the laundry room and engaging in a little clothes pin action (he's married).

I feel sorry for people who discover those kind of things, and they're married to Lady Vanilla Vanillington.

Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

When I saw Star Trek: Into Darkness it reminded me very much of Wrath of Khan with the transparent 'alternate time line' premise. Liked it but was haunted by deja vu through out the movie.

Had that same feeling all through the new Star Wars. Enjoyed it but did not find it rave-able.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Agreed , although I looked at Into Darkness as more of a remake - maybe that made me like it more ? Question mark ?
