Continues the eternal wait for the Wallaby Manga

This is a combination theory/retreatment of the script I’ve been knocking around inside my head for a while.

Imagine if Episode II had been written as Anakin growing up to be a very reserved and indoctrinated Jedi. He’s very obedient, not emotional at all. But obi-wan feels like he’s holding back and not using the force or fighting with his full strength. Reuniting with Padme when they’re both older makes Anakin take notice of new feelings he had learned about but never experienced before.

Padme, on the other hand, becomes immediately enthralled. Not expecting that little boy to be such an attractive and talented Jedi.

SHE comes on to HIM.

He initially brushes it off, doesn’t reciprocate, but she keeps saying things and doing things to get his attention. He starts quoting Jedi Code to her and averting his gaze. When Anakin saves her life from the assassination attempt, it just strengthens her resolve.

Obi-wan is fixated on solving the mystery and doesn’t see this happening. He sends Anakin off with Padme to Naboo and Anakin tries to warn him that it’s a bad idea.. Now Padme is laying it on thick. Anakin’s dialog on the transport where he argues that Jedi are encouraged to love is now Padme’’s attempt to deconstruct his rigid adherence to rules. That actually makes him stop and think. Now her come ons are starting to chip away at him.

The rest of the movie is watching Anakin give way to her enabling and they grow closer pretty much how it already happens. When they reunite with Obi-wan in the arena, he can see what’s happening between them. But he also sees that Anakin is now fighting with far more power and focus than ever before so he quietly decides to hold his tongue and see what how it pans out.

Makes perfect sense to dial the horsepower back. For the last ten years Apple’s software has been visibly incapable of taking advantage of the hardware it’s installed on.

iPads could run macOS, easily.

Apple makes photo realistic renders of all of its products to use for commercials and reveal trailers. They have for a long time now.

Everything Apple does, hardware and software, is visually realized in a computer first. They take those concepts and CAD drawings and polish them into fully realized CG models that they can do anything with.

Then you get footage of the new iPhone flying through a fountain of liquid metal with realistic collision and particle effects. It would be harder to film a real phone and composite CG into it in post.

Fuck those things.

Fuck.

Those.

Things!

The Coke when I remember it next week:

At least it wasn’t a freak fire during a gasoline fight.

This is the same art style as the first Digimon movies, but it looks too risqué to be a Digimon movie, source?

Consumers knew about 2000 because Me was such dogshit regular people started using 2000 despite the drawbacks.

Most consumers didn’t know or care about Windows NT, or Windows 2003, 2008, and so on.
