The opinions of all these armchair J-School professors here in the comments are just a delight to read. /s

Obviously you’ve never worked at a newspaper.

But there was so much more to it than just them killing his son, it’s a perfect period piece for the end of the Cold War (the film was released in ‘91), with all these military leaders on both sides struggling to come to grips a sudden outbreak of peace.

Oh man, it’s way worth your time:

Please tell me you’ve seen Landis’ delightful rant “Regarding Clark” addressing those exact issues, right?

Not to mention a lot of the photos are really soft, despite the flash. I dunno, a little underwhelmed by the results, even though I enjoyed the story.

How many Death Start pieces does it come with?

What the fuck is that?

Which makes the most sense, but they’re doing a great job with the misdirect, constantly showing Finn with the lightsaber on the posters, trailers, etc.

Random thought occurred to me this morning: the Luke quote from the previous trailer about his family being strong in the Force - we all kinda assumed he’s was talking about Rey, but what if it’s Luke talking to Kylo Ren?

“So is this the Orange Line or the Silver Line?” he asked.

As a tangental bit of trivia, I never knew - until I moved down here - that Texas has a huge German influence in its history.

Sigh... remember when James Purefoy was shaping up to be a big star?

It sure does, especially if you’ve ever deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan: http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/26/the…

Hmm... It’s just not working for me. I mean I don’t dislike it, as far as being some sort of interesting sci-fi movie, but I just don’t get a Fantastic Four vibe from it at all.

While that would be pretty cool, I’m pretty sure it’s just a Killing Joke reference (which is also pretty cool).

Do you have an International Driver’s Permit or a Japanese license? If not, then car rental is pretty much out of the question. But honestly, driving in Japan is kind of a hassle - especially for tourism purposes (speaking as someone who lived in the Tokyo area for 3+ years).

I totally felt the same way. That being said, it’s gorgeous to look at at night.

Saw it last night, and yeah, I cried.
