Star Wars 7 shit talk

Saw it. Felt it. Cried. Will scoff at self-important cynics. The end.

has it topped taking care of business as best jj abrams project?

nice

Disappointing

3D didn't detract but didn't enhance to much either. There was 3D lens flare at one point. No post-credits sequence, in case you feel inclined to stick around through that stuff. Great movie.

― human and working on getting beer (longneck)

can you post in the form of a credits crawl

I am in the lobby waiting for my theater to be seated, drinking a Star Wars themes beer

I don't like you either

My favourite working film critic really liked it (though his Abrams love has baffled me before):

No post-credits sequence,

There's a pantswetting fairy?

I've got some cash coming to me

Next time, Alfred.

What the "remix" reviews are missing, for me, is the overwhelming (in every sense of the world) sensation I got that this world had kept on existing just as it was since 1983, with the characters living on, messing their lives up, time passing just as in the real world, and only now did we somehow manage to find our way back to it, a return to neverland, more or less, tinged with the pathos of loss, of having grown up in the meantime, and yet it was there all along. We just didn't have access to it. It's a different kind of enchantment from the first trilogy precisely because it builds on that feeling of time and a world lost, but it does remember the importance of enchantment and captures it correctly.

Also, it's not just for old people like me - I saw it with my ten year old son and it was like he finally GOT Star Wars. Suddenly it wasn't merely a franchise of toys and games and old movies that his dad liked a lot a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. It became his world too, and this is his favorite movie in the world right now. It felt so good to be able to connect with him over this.

facebook is rash with pride for kylo ren. put mishawaka on the map. biggest since lisa germano.

simply cannot think about this guy as the baddie without imagining him yelling HANNAH WHERE'D YOU PUT MY LIGHTSABER

Thankfully, most of the kids who are going to see this won't be familiar with Hannah Horvath.

I wrote about in more detail in the spoilers thread, but IMO Kylo Ren is one of the weakest parts of the movie. Dude is simply not credible as a scary villain, once he takes his mask off. He shouldn't have taken it off at all.

I think that is the allure, but yeah, spoilers thread

i declare the new star wars Good

:o

better than the prequels, not as good as any of the original three. jj puts you back in that universe in a way 'phantom menace' etc never really did, but the absence of a coherent storyline is still annoying. it was more of a series of echoes and cover versions of original trilogy situations (strung together through improbable coincidence) in the service of setting up a new trilogy than its own independent thing. weight of circumstances and all that but still, it could have held together better. but it's not bad!

I agree with that. I didn't love it as much as others though I did enjoy large parts of it

wow do i ever feel foolish now

This is the third-best Star Wars film and the best thing JJ Abrams has done by a country fucking mile.

is Oscar Isaac nude in this

was surprised when my wife informed me he's latino, I totally thought he was Jewish

Ha no way, I'd assumed that too but it seems p obvious in hindsight

I totally thought he was Jewish

...after seeing him nude?

i thought that too after seeing Inside Llewyn Davis, picked up on his latin nature in A Most Violent Year

Adam Driver is not Jewish either

Carrie Fisher, half

oh cool are we doing that Adam SAndler song now

Adam Driver looks like a neo-Sweathog

Oscar Isaac's parents were Cuban; he's a Miami boy.

actually his mom's Guatemalan iirc

Now that I've found this out I'm going to be mad if they kill him off in any of these movies.

My friend Paul is a creature actor and this morning he revealed on FB that he's in the film, has a scene with Ford and even has a name (Hassk Thug) and toy coming out, imagine sitting on that for two years!

that's pretty great.

if you google hassk thug you can see his toy and it's p hilarious looking

My friend Melinda grew up with Greg Grunberg and his sister, so she's always hearing about stuff he's in.

Here's one for the haters: http://deadspin.com/sean-doolittle-dragged-his-girlfriend-to-star-wars-1748680375

@#$@# got spoiled by a video review from Cinemassacre. it starts with "spoiler" warning text and then immediately one of the guys spoils something, like in the first 5 seconds of the video.

tried looking for a bootleg. a poorly filmed spanish language cam job has surfaced...

This was fun.

There was 3D lens flare at one point

my head hurts thinking about the mechanics of this

White House, trolling

Anthony Lane, clumsy.

It is not for that reason, however, that I salute your courage in going to see “The Force Awakens.” Something more urgent than metaphysics is at issue, namely this: paying to watch a new “Star Wars” movie, in the wake of its predecessors—“The Phantom Menace,” “Attack of the Clones,” and “Revenge of the Sith”—is like returning to a restaurant that gave you severe food poisoning on your last three visits. So, be of good cheer. “The Force Awakens” will neither nourish nor sate, but it is palatable and fresh, and it won’t lay you low for days to come. Worshippers of the older films will have every right to feel cosseted and spoiled, as random exclamations—“Weapon fully charged in thirty seconds!”, “It’ll take a miracle to save us now!”, “Let’s hit that oscillator with everything we’ve got!”—echo through the cinema like the barks of excited dogs. Heretics and infidels, like myself, will be gratified to have avoided a more parlous fate. Please forgive us if we snort into our sodas when Han Solo remarks, “The Dark Side, the Jedi—it’s true. All of it.” Actually, Han, it’s not. It’s baloney. But it’s fun to behold, for now. And how long is it until the next chunk, a spin-off titled “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” crash-lands at a movie theatre near you? One year. The Force is with us forever, whether we like it or not.

he's gotten glibber by the year imo, that graf about the force is very bad.

and he acts like he isn't the 800000th person to opine that Guinness and Ford "save" the original.
