Not a movie but a person: Chris Nolan.

The awfulness of the Hobbit movies could fill a canyon in New Zealand, but it hadn't made me think any less of LOTR, but mostly because I was pretty agnostic about them to begin with.

Considering Lucas is married to a black woman that proves you don't know what you're talking about.

This would be obvious to anyone who's actually watched A New Hope with the sound on, since NONE of the Stormtroopers sound like Jango, or, frankly, each other, hence they can't be clones. The clone factory on Kamino went out of business after the Clone Wars, folks.

Between Ray Rice, the Bucs using free labor, now this, how does anyone watch this sport anymore?

Actually a good idea whenever playing the Raiders/

According to Harry Knowles (I know, sorry), Lucasfilm says it's not Serkis but has no further comment.

That's a Tusken Raider lance, right?

My own ill informed guesses: Luke's been on that ice planet harnessing the Force for years, and the Sith has found him and sent an assassin. Daisy is Han's daughter and that's her piloting the Falcon. Could Oscar Isaac be the Solo child and he joins the Republic? That's what I get from the trailer.

You overlooked this official nugget:

I think the problem with Sony is they really don't have anything else besides Spider Man, and with corporates electronics business in the toilet, that only increases the heat to have mammoth numbers. But it's crazy. I work in the film business and I heard people whispering Monday that Hunger Games is a bomb because it…

I don't know, when you're talking hundreds of millions in profits, it gets to be like that scene in Citizen Kane when Kane argues, yeah, Iblost a million this year, and a million before that, and before that. At this rate, I'll be broke in....60 years. A lot of the film biz is a dick measuring contest that has no real…

She was the girl at Toshi's station that grabs Luke's binoculars to see the space battle.

Also, Luke's first scene where he sees the space battle above Tatooine. The droid that malfunctions in that scene is pretty much the design of Wall E.

Man, I guess Joffrey wasn't so bad after all.

It's a fake!

I'm guessing a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen type universe, where one person brings the monsters together to form a super team.

I remember when they got Cliff Lee and my FB feed was everyone saying they now had the best pitching rotation in baseball history. Didn't turn out so well, did it?

the definition of cinematic awe and wonder

Unless you hate your job and can afford to lose the pay, I'm not sure any movie is worth it, especially with the ubiquity of show times. But I loved it. It has some moments of pure cinema, and I thought they nailed the parent stuff. It's not perfect but it's flaws are dwarfed by the scope of its ambition and…
