    I agree. If I could wear that mask around all day to intimidate people I'd never take it off.

    Unless your mask just makes you look like Nazi Squidward

    Some little ladies sure do get they're panties in a wad because somebody makes a Star Wars movie that doesn't conform to they're fanboi expectations
    I expected it to be bad.

    It was bad and the plot had more holes than Pellum's defense.
    People forget how campy, cheesy, and full of plot holes the Original Trilogy was. People forget that.

    It's a fucking Star Wars movie, not Shakespeare.
    Were still waiting on our post game Merry Wives of Windsor thread.

    ah the old indiana jones 4 defense

    bashing a beloved trilogy to prop up modern dreck

    haven't seen this one in a while
    Except that Indiana Jones 4 really did suck.

    We enjoyed the Original Trilogy despite the fact that they were campy, cheesy, and full of plot holes. TLJ is a good film, but not the film that fanboys wanted to see. I'd hazard a guess that Johnson doesn't give a flying fuck what a test audience thinks about his film. This movie isn't about pleasing the masses by making safe formulaic choices; it's about taking them out of their comfort zone and defying their expectations of how the story should go. He even told the audience, not that many of them listened.




    I haven’t seen this film and won’t, but all these type of movies are about pleasing the masses. The execs know fan boys will buy tickets and they dumb it down even further for Chinese kids.
    You mean like the Pac 12 Network game???

    The 77 release of Star Wars is widely credited for starting the cartoon movie trend that is with us to this day. The blockbuster.

    70's movies had become like 70's traditional rock - bloated and self indulgent. With our new 5 second attention span many of them are unwatchable today even for those of us who were there and liked them.

    The original was basically a tale of good versus evil. Always a crowd pleaser. If you are looking to star wars for your tasteful movie event you might want to reconsider.

    I like the re boot of Star Trek. Pine is the best Kirk since Shatner. Times change got to change with them

    Star Trek was always better. They fucked around and let Star Wars get the movie out first then the first Star Trek movie was a bomb. But they figured it out

    Wrath of Khan is the only good Star Trek movie with the TOS cast. The other 6 sucked.

    loved 4-6, 1 was so stoopid did not watch 2 and 3, 7 was as poorly acted as most Spielberg movies so will not watch until it shows up on some free movie channel or one of the kids loans it to me.

    JJ Abrams directed 7, not Spielberg.
