"because they wanted Solo to be a cold-blooded killer"

No George. I want Solo to be the kind of person who has no qualms about saving his own skin, even if it means shooting someone under a table to finish a fight before it happens, so that when he basically "takes the money and runs" you have that thought in the back of your head that he really might have taken off for good. Him dodging a bullet and shooting back doesn’t give him the same moral ambiguity and ultimately makes his return at the end less meaningful.

On a side note, does that line mean that George considers Indiana Jones a "cold-blooded killer" because he shot the swordsman first in Raiders?

Probably a good thing that the living will never outnumber the dead. You never know what a cosmic imbalance like that might result in...
They are totally going to go back in time and kill Vader's father. Oh, wait...
Me too. The last money I spent on Star Wars was seeing Sith in the theater, and I kinda just look at that like break up sex.

He has made it abundantly clear over the last decade (minimally) that he makes movies for himself, under his terms and that is it.

Don't like what he's doing? Walk. Away. And take your money with you.

Maybe it's just because I've been grumpy for the last year or so, but after reading Dance With Dragons I'm pretty much rooting for the White Walkers. Knock that damn wall down and just let everyone freeze.
Robin Williams will not be outdone when it comes to drunken tattoo shenanigans.
Mario Picross is my new default game to play while I poop.
So, this would clearly need to be banned because the whole purpose of the game is a violation of UN Resolution 242, right?

/edit: and let's not even think about those horrible "occuppy settlement"/"exterminate population"/"enslave population" buttons that you get to different degrees in the Total War series...
Not from my "childhood" must have list (that was fulfilled when Kolchak The Night Stalker came out), but I'd really love a legit copy of Brimstone.
But getting incessantly punished and STILL winning is just oh so satisfying.
When not playing sports, rescuing princesses and driving go-karts, Mario also enjoys taking in the Mushroom Kingdom's thriving break dancing scene.
It won't be called the X-Box 720. It will be called the X-Box 360 Pyramid. Why? They are subliminally going after Sony fans by naming their console after the face buttons on a Playstation controller.
X=X, Box=Square, 360=Circle, Pyramid=Triangle.
It's still ok to throw turtles at car who won't get out of my way, right?
Yes. Because my online photo is a peanut. And I am a peanut.
Even if I can potentially kill you, you still like how I smell.
It's probably a good thing she never saw me play Rome: Total War or she would be very concerned at just how quickly I click "Sack City/Enslave Population" after a siege.

Granted, I fall into the "yes, in real life those are disgusting and reprehensible actions, but who cares because it's just a game" argument category, but I have this weird thing about being able to separate fiction from reality.
I like the Energizer charger. Same basic thing but it's got an extra USB port built in.
They are usually transplants from somewhere else.
... The Punisher isn't Dexter, he's Jason Voorhees. Why is that so damn hard for movie/tv people to get?
