Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi

[Sebastian]

Will Jar Jar Binks be in this new Trek Wars movie?

 

[Sebastian]

Blah.

Spoilers confirmed. Pretty sure half of TFA could be excised for all the exposition that is thrown out the airlock like so many General Grievouses.

But at least an old friend shows up. Some nice space battles. Some great duels. But...

People are going to be pissed that we will never get to see what everyone has wanted to see since 1983. This trilogy is watered down with ideas no one wanted.

It could have really used Lucas' vision to create the story and competent directors to execute it. There is no grand thread here. No space opera. Makes one pine for the days of the EU version of events post-Battle of Endor.

Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.

Thoughts on THE LAST JEDI: - way more nudity than expected - smart idea to do it all as a rap - Charlie Sheen totally holds his own - Adam Driver's love ballad felt awkward - didn't like the 22-minute Olaf short - Smash Mouth's "All Star" was a bold end-credits choice

You will see. Here is the entire plot minus the B-Story.

With all due respect, that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Have yet to see anyone who didn't like it so I'm optimistic.

Assigned seats so I don't need to worry about getting there early.

Aren't reserved seats one of the best inventions ever?

Used to fucking hate having to go to the movies and get a seat right underneath the screen, or way up in the corner.

I remember going to see Episode III in theaters...we got there 2 hours early to make sure we got a good seat. 30 minutes later the theater was over half full. It is funny to think about now.

For most movies, I don't like them. The theater nearest to me doesn't have it, and I like it that way.

Except for your huge blockbusters like Star Wars or Avengers. Those I go to reserved seating theaters for.

For big movies definetly. Small shows, could care less.

BTW has anyone tried that movie pass app? Probably could have pulled the trigger this year with all that came out but didn't.

Disney officially bought 21st Century Fox.

Hopefully, this means they can put the "fanfare" at the beginning of Star Wars movies again.

Thing about reserved seats too is they usually always are the comfortable lazy-boy style where you can lean back with your feet up if you want to. Not sure how you can dislike that.

Even for smaller movies I still enjoy picking out where I'm sitting.

Also the small chance someone is sitting in your seat, so it gives you the right to be like "Hey YOU, YOU ARE IN MY SEAT", which is a great output for any built up anger or frustration. Telling someone to get the fuck off, and they can't do anything about it- no greater joy.

Counterpoint:

Usually I have to order a reserved seat in advance, which always carries an extra service charge. For most movies, I don't want to pay and extra $$$$ or 2 to get an exact seat.
