    THREE SWORDS AT ONCE. The tail-sword is hilariously awesome.

    Showing Nightcrawler at full power was pretty awesome. Teleporting is an underappreciated combat power. Nightcrawler in the White House was one of the better scenes in the first sequence of XMen movies.

    The Yoda fight is especially bad, probably the worst in all the movies. They couldn't even make Yoda fighting look good in the cartoons, which generally have really good saber fights (since they don't need actual actors to do the fighting). He's just too small, it ends up looking absurd.

    I saw also a huge SW fan as a kid and saw it opening night. I remember leaving on a real high note after the duel, then the next morning I was like...hey wait, that movie sucked. I still like that fight though. The other prequels got increasingly absurd, all spins and twirls and flashy...

    TPM was bad, but the Duel of the Fates was pretty solid all things considered. The score definitely carries it, but Ray Park is a genuinely talented martial artist and elevates the whole thing. There's too many "stand in place and deliberate hit each other's blades" sequences, but for Star...

    Things your dumb friends post on facebook

    I see a lot of those memes from a particular sort of Millennial, and they've always annoyed me. There's a "life is complicated and it's the government's fault I didn't know all of it right out of high school" angle to it. K-12 education is never going to provide you with all the skills you...

    As long as we get a story, it'll be significantly better than most of the Star Wars properties to this point. Most of the shows have made story (and character development) a distant second priority to moving characters around to get to the set piece action scenes and character interactions...

    The Home Ownership Thread

    My dad and brother are both huge plant nerds, like they do it professionally but it's also one of their main hobbies. It's honestly a foreign language sometimes, especially since they know the Latin names for almost everything. They're always going over new weird rare plants they picked up or...

    The Home Ownership Thread

    I've ordered stuff from Conifer Kingdom. I got a really nice Chirimen hinoki cypress from them. That's a great result for mail-order in general, much less a one gallon. I have some three gallons that are half that size after a couple years, and they weren't something as slow growing as a...

    You need to watch out for using stones for mulch with maples, it can raise the soil temperature and simultaneously dry them out and cook the root. Given the rain chain, I'm guessing Validus's bed stays damper and has shade.

    The Home Ownership Thread

    I went to the specialty nursery last year just to get a Mikawa, and all the bigger ones had already been tagged within a day or two of their spring delivery. Demand for specialty stuff has gone nuts since the pandemic. Has that one been in the ground awhile? Most mailorder places I've tried...

    The Home Ownership Thread

    Almost ten years, including being transplanted once. Started growing like crazy once I moved it. It was planted literally the same day as the Butterfly, which really highlights the growth difference. One of my several housewarming trees, which is (apparently) a thing in my family.

    The Home Ownership Thread

    Speaking of maples: Mikawa Yatsubusa. Hard to find big ones around here. Butterfly. Recently transplanted after not really growing for 5+ years. We'll see if it likes this spot better. Acer shirasawanum "Autumn Moon." Will turn more orange (with red new growth) later into spring...

    The Home Ownership Thread

    I'm about to buy a Coral Bark unless I find something cool in a trip to the specialty nursery next week. We have a lot of problem with pseudomonas around here, which Sango Kaku is vulnerable to. Frustrating when they just turn black and die. But it's a cool tree otherwise. I don't know...
