...should one expect a movie theater to be on a Wednesday afternoon - a week before the holidays? For a big movie like Rogue One, that's been out for less than a week?
We just had our office Christmas lunch today, so even though I'm off this week, I made the special trip, and on the way back went to see the movie in the middle of the afternoon.
There was only myself and a younger couple.
As for the movie...here's my two-line review:
First half: Snoozefest. Seriously. I've never contemplated, for real, walking out of a movie until now.
Second half: Made up for it. But in hindsight, barely.

Amazing how the morons in hollywood have even managed to ruin everything with "Star" in the title, isn't it?
Sci-fi doesn't even have to reach the level of being "good", to keep aficionados happy, but that's obviously far too heady a height for those idiots to reach.

perhaps it is extraordinary and very proud

I agree. I thought the end part was amazing (the Darth Vader part). The battle was well done. The earlier stuff, well, I can't really remember 
|
|

I kept thinking, "when is this ever going to end, has it been five hours already?"
Only slightly better than the other prequels, and I wanted K2 to say, "meesa bein' scared".

OK, why did the author do all this nonsense?
Assuming the last sentence suppose to be funny -
why would any public want to have this in his / her /its domain anyway ?

Probably just a joke. You can check copyrights at Search Records | U.S. Copyright Office[^]. The text indicates to me at least that the author is just having fun (I've been guilty of something similar in the past).

There's another idiot tax.
You own the copyright on something the moment you write it; you don't have to pay a government for it.

It could either be a joke, or the author actually means it. Either ways, I don't see any nonsense in it. It's their work, and they decide how they license it.

Does anyone have advice or specific instructions for how to leave the group. Currently my profile is set up as a group and I did that for a long forgotten reason. Anyone know if I can revert back to just being a contributor?
I'm specifically referring to my icon/image/gif at the end of this post that when you hover over says group and has two heads. How do I revert that back to just one because I'm not a group.
Thanks In Advance!!!

In the upper right corner you can see your name as a dropdown menu.
The first item in the menu is "My Settings". Click it.
On this page you'll see several tabs, make sure "Account" is active.
On the eightth row you'll see the item "Account type", I'd assume changing this dropdown to "Standard Member Account" is what you're looking for.

Thank you. I did the inverse since I found the settings were already as you described. I actually set myself to be a group [then saved] and then I set myself back to a single account [then saved] and the problem appears to be fixed. I'm not sure whether it was Chris or I that fixed it since he's the little troll working around the clock to keep everything working.

Yes you are, your schizophrenia is just playing up.

But they promised me the medication would fix all of that.

Not too sure about the two heads, but the third arm really suits you

So, essentially, you're saying that the answer is 42.

Well, that is the answer to Everything, including, but not limited to, Life and The Universe.

Bobby is dead. I killed him and his friend Bobbi just to make sure I got everyone.
