CaptDust

I did some surface investigation so I could be wrong but -- this seems to come from an annual Battle of Shrewsbury reenactment. I think the photographer captured one of the splinter fights from the big push.

There's some older footage here (battle starts around 5:00) from someone who participated, that provides some context of the energy. It's not combat sports and it doesn't seem scripted. Mostly just dudes in a field putting on a show for their community. Some of these strikes I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of, but it all seems playful enough.

Worth mentioning for a reenactment to be historically accurate - someone's gotta lose, and they'll know to play the role appropriately. It is "scripted" in that sense.

If you have to wear chainmail to avoid injuries and getting hit hard enough to lose your footing, it's not LARP.

Is there anything to imply the stock market actually gives a damn about external/macro cost pressures? Its like all fundamentals are out the window. At this point the companies are comfortable cranking their prices to offset any incurred costs at a moment notice, customers are used to seeing it. They'll roll their eyes, bitch a little, and buy the product anyway.

I have to think there will be a tipping point when people straight up can't afford things, but right now there doesn't seem to be a tangible ceiling.

That palps line represents so much more than the dialog quality to me though. It's all about the context, TRoS built up nothing around this and suddenly jumps sideways into a plot that neccessated invalidating a significant moment of the original trilogy. It's jarring as a viewer and there's no explaination for why it's happening. THEN the film has the audacity to imply through dialog, actually the audience should not worry about the details - this is what we're doing. Almost feels insulting in some ways.

I'm asking this trying not to sound like a dick, but sincerely - what Abram's work do you like? His entire filmography looks so weak these days, and it's even worse if we just evaluate him as a director.

I liked Super 8, but that's all that stands out to me. Even that maybe felt more "Spielberg at home", but it was entertaining.

I still can't believe some writer penned "some how, palpatine returned" into the script and didn't light the whole draft on fire right there. I guess between the hamfisted bloodline reveal and the magical sith dagger guiding the way to the star destroyer parking lot - who cares at that point. Fuck it, send it.

I know it's been beaten to death but I just finished re-watching all 9 + rogue one, and can confirm there's no reason for anyone to go back to the sequel trilogy. TFA gets some credit as a solid popcorn flick but doesn't change the fact it's retreading ANH, just to have every original story beat crushed by TLJ. By the time I got to Rise of Skywalker I was totally checked out, it's just noise and explosions with a plot that is borderline incomprehensible.

Tim's going after Harrison Smith, took over as host of infowar's show The War Room after 10-year host Owen Shroyer departed late last year. He's basically become Jones' #1 ass-kissing acolyte and delivered the final monologue of old infowars.

Smith also recently invited the onion team to "sit down and have a discussion" with him and Jones, so this is pretty much the response.

Ballrooms, secret police and unprovoked war! Of course those are my TOP priorities! $10 gas and bodies in the streets USA USA USA
