I felt similarly and am relieved to see an article that isn’t praising it as the greatest thing ever (and telling the haters they’re wrong) or saying it’s the worst film ever (and telling the, uh, not-haters they’re wrong.)

I want to see it again and let me thoughts settles, but my initial take away was there were…

The post is about a scene that was filmed but cut, if that helps. Kind of hard to discuss whether or not things are spoilers without venturing into spoiler territory, though.

I figure if Toho hasn’t yanked it already they’ll let them make their three films. (It’s three, right? Godzilla 2014, the versus monsters sequel, and the King Kong crossover?)

Plus Toho was saying they were planning their projects around the years Legendary wasn’t doing releases.

Legendary’s Monsterverse will most likely limp through, or at least finish what they have planned. They’re going at those Godzilla movies pretty slow and only have limited components on loan from Toho, though.

This sounds like it’s going to work about as well as the Dark Universe did.

There’s some small precedent for Hasbro to do it since Micronauts and ROM were both parts of the shared Marvel universe at some point, I guess.

I like the idea that Rey comes from nobody. I’m perfectly satisfied with that answer. The Force shouldn’t just come to those gifted with Skywalker or Kenobi blood.

And honestly, if they had used the “Kenobi’s lost daughter” or “Luke’s daughter” or even “The other Solo child”, they would have had to work hard to make it…

Han and Boba Fett are kinda made into rivals in the OT. You know Boba Fett is a scary, notorious bounty hunter. He even talks back to Vader. He personally goes after Solo to deliver to Jabba the Hutt. Han knows him by name in Return of the Jedi.

They’re pretty equivalent characters, except Phasma’s history with Finn is…

She’s just New Boba Fett. “Wow, he looks cool. Wow, he sounds cool. Oh, look, a blind guy knocked him into a hole while he was wearing a jet pack.”

If you go in with a set of expectations on what needs to happen, what questions need to be answered, or what those answers need to be you’re going to be disappointed.

I wasn’t blown away by the movie. There’s plenty of justifiable criticism that can be made. Some of the criticism I’ve seen online has been ridiculous.

Yeah, I don’t know how to eloquently describe what makes it awful. “Awful” is hard to describe in an objective matter, because awful is often an opinion. It doesn’t help that “The prequels are soooo bad!” has become a punchline.

As I’ll put it like this: Phantom Menace was entertaining to me as a kid. I went to see it…

This is correct. I could have worded that more clearly and I hope no one expects that to mean by the end of the month. By “end of the year” I’m talking about the fiscal year.

Probably not a lot of reason, then, unless you want to replay it or play it in portable mode.

Besides the fact it’s on a platform people own? By the end of the year, Switch is projected to have sold more units than the Wii U did in its lifetime.

That’s my counter argument. The only thing stopping your waiter from getting your credit card information is the honor system and I guess fear of being fired...there’s no layer of protection there.

And if you’re not dealing with people, card skimmers are still a thing.

The 90s? I was shocked to find some (significantly older) family members this Thanksgiving questioning how anyone could do online Black Friday sales because you’d have to share your credit card information with the internet.

LOL I didn’t even make that connection until I read your comment, then re-read mine.

Star Wars. Fox owns A New Hope’s release rights indefinitely. Buying the company is one way to circumvent that.

Pixar has said Incredibles 2 takes place immediately after the first film.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I’m not great. I put my stars on comments one at a time, just like everyone else does.

It’s important that we can be critical of things we like. This gets a star from me just for that.
