Whoever directed this nostalgia-fest piece of crap Ready Player One needs to study up on some classic blockbuster films like Jaws, Jurassic Park, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

“Objective badness”.

Is Lando cool with slave kids?

Lando Calrissian, the eternally smooth smuggler who somehow became the Baron Administrator of Cloud City and a general for the Rebel Alliance.

OJZ knows way more than you; they said they’ve played lots of Zelda games. You’ve only played a couple. The boy is Zelda.

This article is dumb. When I play Zelda games, the boy character’s name is Cumlord.

You’ve cracked it. Supreme Leader Snoke is actually Supreme Leader Felicity Smoak.

I stand corrected. 3-4-5 makes perfect sense now.

Your point doesn’t hold, because we do not have episode IX yet. Until we have episode IX, the cynical nature of this film isn’t qualified the way the cynical nature of Empire was qualified by ROTJ. You would still be ending on the middle act of a trilogy. Empire bucked the trend of New Hope, ROTJ restored it.

Not even the point, but I understand that it’s probably very difficult for you to comprehend. The point is you wouldn’t watch those three back-to-back in a vacuum without understanding that episode 8 is the middle point, not the final episode. Starting with the last movie in a trilogy and ending on the middle movie in…

What metaphor? There’s no metaphor here. And again, the point is that this is a middle film. Shit gets dark in the middle, because that makes it much more satisfying to find the light in the conclusion.

Why on earth would you watch episode 6, 7, and 8 in a row? The last movie in a trilogy followed by the first and middle entries in a follow-up trilogy? Of course it would feel cynical after a movie that wraps up a trilogy with an Ewok party and a movie that is primarily a nostalgia-fest. It wouldn’t make any sense to…

The rebellion already existed. People had just lost faith, as shown by the lack of response to the distress calls. The little kid telling the story shows that faith is being restored in the rebellion and that fighting is worthwhile after all. He’s not the rebellion; he’s the next generation of an existing rebellion…

Specifically, whatever this thing is:

Exactly. The whole movie was about a tiny fraction of rebels that gets smaller and smaller with every minute of the film. Everything they do is a reaction to the much larger, much better funded, much more organized First Order. They have to constantly scramble, because they cannot possibly match their power or stay…

I’m allergic to strawberries, but it’s okay; I prefer to be alone, anyway.

Okay. Enjoy your high horse. Hopefully, you’ll be able to ride it better than Roy Moore can ride his.

You are the one missing the point. Nowhere did I say anyone wanted him to be a man’s man. Here, I’ll quote myself, so you don’t have to work so hard actually reading the sentence in context:

Not at all. Roy Moore specifically showed up on a horse as a publicity stunt. He does not have the skill for the publicity stunt that he himself decided on. He revealed another aspect of his deplorable life: he is a complete fake. He is not a cowboy. He is not the “man’s man” that he wants to be. He is a liar…
