  • Rumor has it the new movie will feature a large moon-sized planet-destroying space station. There will also be a desert planet with a young naive yet promising force user. Someone will wield a lightsaber with a design we haven’t seen before. Space bombers will have to fly “over” an enemy ship in space in order to “drop” bombs on it. One of the new creatures will have eyes that look like anuses, or a mouth that looks like a pussy. The main antagonist will be annoying and act like a man-child. There will be doubt that someone can “train up” in time to fight a bad guy. Someone will survive the vacuum of space. A new force trick will be shown. Someone’s face will be replaced by AI. A previously unseen type of droid sidekick will be unveiled. A possession belonging to someone from the original trilogy will be mentioned and displayed with reverence. Something that has never needed explaining will be explained. Something that has long needed an explanation will be glossed over in a confusing way. An interesting new character will have nearly all of their scenes cut. The emperor will return.





  • I enjoy the 5 minute cloud atlas trailer better than the movie. The 5-minute trailer is the greatest trailer ever made, offering the promise of a most incredible movie (even if the movie didnt live up to the trailer’s promise). With M83’s music and all the best scenes, after watching it you don’t need to watch the movie.

    Show that trailer to someone who’s never heard of cloud atlas and they’ll cream their pants in anticipation.


  • Will do: it is certain he do it in future.

    Would do: it is certain he decide to do now or in future it if he has ability to do and/or knows about it and/or nothing else stop him.

    Would have done: it is certain he decide to do in past if he had ability to do and/or knew about it and/or nothing else stop him.

    Can do: he have ability to do now or in future.

    Could do: he have ability to do now or in future if he decide to do and/or no external condition that stops it being done.

    Could have done: he had the ability, he didn’t do in past (maybe there are reasons).

    would = intent to do if there is ability.
    could = ability to do if there is intent.

    • intent: the desire to do and/or the knowledge that it needs to be done and/or no external condition that stops it being done.

    “would you like coffee” = If I give to you ability to drink coffee right now, what is your answer, Yes or No?

    “I would do it” = If nothing stops me and I have the ability to do, then I do it. This is said with knowledge that some condition must be met before you can do it:
    “I would drink that coffee if you give it to me.”
    It is letting the listener know that you intend to do action, but it first requires some other thing to happen which gives you ability.
