Rewatching Rogue One, lions pondered how useless the father quest was.  It was kind of an isolated chapter.  The only reason for the quest & killing him off might have been to prevent further evolution of the death star, but he said someone else would have developed it without him, so it was just stupid. 

Even if he or the hologram survived, the rebels wouldn't have believed him so it was a moot point.  He was an imperial ally in their minds.  The 1st 70 minutes were just a bunch of hit points to win engagement & more like an episode of a TV serial, just intended for length.  Then the last 60 minutes were the 2nd episode of the TV serial.

Writing out the death of the heroine would have been easy.  She could have just gotten miraculously saved in the last seconds by falling debris landing in just the right place.  Helas, she was too old for any more sequels.



The heroine was 32 but looked a lot older for some reason.  She was in a few highly rated shows after that, before hitting 40 & disappearing.



Finally realized after 90 minutes that the villain was a familiar face from Ready Player One, yet another in a growing list of movies lions forget right after watching them.

Last experienced movie amnesia with the Truman show.


She made up with the sniper in the last moment. 





The ending always was a bit goofy.  They used the entire deathstar to shoot down just the antenna & most of the energy went to empty ocean.  It was all contrived to get rid of every character who wasn't in episode IV.

Upon finally watching the lion kingom's 6 year old Spaceballs download, lions didn't realize how talented Mel Brooks was.  Despite being a lame movie, it's not easy to be director, writer, & 2 actors.



Never did figure out what they were looking at.


The control room actually changed.






Being 5'5" & rich had advantages in erotica.  He had to be short to be Yogurt.  The 2 blondies were briefly the doublemint twins in the 80's.



This was where we learned to appreciate hotties singing bass.

 What lions think is happening is index funds are earning interest on large treasury positions.  They're putting the interest into stonks to manetain a constant allocation.  It's not millennials pouring money in the stonk market expecting lower interest rates. High interest rates are pushing up stonks like the 90's.  Millennials are taking money out of the stonk market to buy houses & pay their mortgages.  Important reminder that lions would only barely get by & be fairly unhappy if they retired now, drained their savings to buy a house, & couldn't afford a lot of things they hoped to have.  Lions don't expect to have the coordination required to play it, when the time comes.  Maybe they could just play chords.  Would definitely have to learn how to tune it & regulate it. If lions didn't have to buy a house, things would be better. 40 years ago, bonds were called fixed income because the standard method was to use interest as a sou...

 Don't kid yourself.  US is a 1 party system.  Unless something is drastically wrong with the 1 campaign, they always vote democrat.  Even as bad as H-Rod was, they still voted for her. Ordering renters to provide $25,000 subsidies to new home owners is basically ordering them to pay what was an entire down payment 20 years ago.  Surely if they could afford these entitlements for home owers, they would have bought houses themselves.  They formerly required the high school dropouts to pay $50,000 in student loan forgiveness to Harvard graduates. Calif* requires renters to provide a $150,000 subsidy to new home owners or about the total cost of a house 20 years ago.    Amerikans just want the Calif* way of life for all.  If you don't like how wealth is redistributed from poor to rich in Calif*, you're not going to like the rest of US. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

 Anyways, the next idea was revising the GUI to get rid of the drop shadows, decorations.  The modern trend is flat colors, but the trends have to change every 6 months for these corporations to stay in business. 1 idea that looked good was an apply button in the file dialog which would allow loading files from a bunch of directories or picking 1 file at a time without closing the window.  The trick is most files require building an index.  The file dialog would have to be frozen during the load process or it would have to be locked out of loading again.  It would be a functional but unpleasant experience. The biggest win right now would be repositioning the plugins to the top when there isn't an asset. The lion kingdom considered applying to FUTO for a grant.  The problem is there are so many forks, so many animals who expect a cut even if their contribution never worked, so many animals who would expect a cut for a feature idea in the future which they ...
