Though it didn’t hit everyone the same way, I think it is nice that he got to see his son continue his story in Ghostbusters: Afterlife before passing.

I’m waiting for Guillermo del Toro to sign up for his turn to make men fly and weapons go boom.

*sigh* You know what? Fuck it. Just fuck it. I hate that Colin Trevorrow felt the need to visually reproduce Grant and Ellie’s first scene, as if we wouldn’t get all emotional and nostalgic just from seeing them onscreen together again (for the first time in 30 years natch), but this movie looks ridiculously stupid in…

And many of the dinos would taste like chicken or even turkey.  The Dino-BBQ rack would have it’s place on my car roof, unlike Fred Flintstone’s attempt at a side-rack.

Possibly, but he doesn’t exactly run around going by the name Dick Ryder intentionally, and even though the joke is there it’s not outside marvel to have a joke about being a dick “He said that he may be an... “a-hole”. But he’s not, and I quote, “100% a dick”.” - Rhomann Dey (John C. Reilly), Guardians of the Galaxy.…

Rule of Stantz #1: If someone asks if you are a god, you say YES!!

The flashes of Buzz’s adventures make it obvious that these events take place before the toy was made, and are probably the impetus for Buzz being called a Hero and having toys made in his likeness, in the Toy Story universe. Note Emperor Zerg’s gun threat, which mimics a scenario from Toy Story 2.

I’m almost 40 and my kids and I are pumped for this movie.

Yeah I’m with you.  He was concerned that Grogu didn’t have his heart in his training.  And since Grogu had basically been forced into the temple as a young child (as most Jedi were, never really given a choice) here is Luke offering Grogu a choice to remain on his current path, or go back to the path of family that…

Got it. It was narratively limiting in that it limited them from doing a wrote retelling of the original trilogy.

The only reason to get the plot “back on track” is to placate people who couldn’t handle a story where Kylo *wasn’t* redeemed. Positioning him as the actual villain meant that they were free to do whatever…

The problem is that, while this was easily the best episode so far, Filoni was at the helm and that guy knows and loves star wars enough not to screw it up (and if we think he did then he has a beautiful reason why he did what he did). This is a problem because this isn't his show and others are going to take us in…

The line about TLJ being “narratively limiting” is basically just a meme. I’ve never once seen someone who uses it actually justify what they mean by that.

Yeah I gotta disagree with James’ framing of Luke here as cold or uncaring when offering the choice. That isn’t the vibe I got at all.

No offense to James, who seems like a perfectly pleasant guy, but, like Charles, his takes?

The sequel trilogy did earn Disney something like 3.5 billion dollars. Some guys on Twitter might hate those movies, but it doesn’t mean they’re going to be retconned out of existence, any more than the prequels were.

It’s easier to augment kids for over a decade into super soldiers than to iterate a few more time to get the armor to work on normal humans? I guess that’s government bureaucracy for you. 

“Eventually paired with a likewise experimental research project, the MJOLNIR enhanced armor system—designed to work in tandem with the superhuman augmentations given to Spartans, amplifying them even further”

You mean a bland mimic which somehow replicated scenes from the original exactly while completely missing the tone?

I thought it was a fine first film. Suffered a bit with setting things up and focusing too much on the main character whose special unique fatality move seemed to be his power to completely leave the audience in disinterest with his lack of charisma.
