Only if you were watching it.

Ian McKellen is not upper class. He’s middle class. His parents were working professionals. The upper class in the UK is people with inherited titles and wealth.

What? I mean... they haven’t yet finished making any of the shit they announced last time they did one of these. 

Mate, if your wife leaves you and takes the kids, you don't stop being the kids’ father. WTF?

I dream of one day having the sort of self confidence it takes to rock up to a website and tell the writer that they’re categorically wrong in their use of English, without, like, checking that you actually know what you’re talking about.

I’ve been watching this and... I don’t get it? It’s incoherent. It’s got no shared DNA with the original, either plot wise or stylistically. The supernatural elements seem completely superfluous. Natalie Dormer’s character makes no sense, either in terms of her motivations or the extent of her abilities. If she can… Read more

I see Andrew Scott is still in prison. 

I always wanted to go to the Eye of Orion: the most tranquil place in the universe from Doctor Who that looks suspiciously like Wales.

He sounds exactly like Rob Brydon doing Richard Burton. 

Wait... is Samuel L Jackson British? 

Well this makes me feel old. I vaguely remember reading these at the time. It’s hard to imagine anything like this today with the grip studios now have on the release of information during production.

“JJ” executive produced The Last Jedi. Do you really think he turned up at the premiere and went “What the fuck is this?” Bollocks. He approved the script. Read more

But Abrams, Kennedy & Co commissioned that from him, spoke favourably of the script, let him shoot it, supported him. To negate it now because of the fan response is cowardly.

I still don’t understand what a Jedi is supposed to be. They don’t kill people, except they do that all the time. So, what, they kill people but they just don’t get angry doing it? So they differ from Sith in that they’re cold blooded killers? They want balance in the force but they want to get rid of the dark side of… Read more

I agree with Charles. Cowardly is a perfect word for it. It’s a cowardly piece of work. And actively contemptuous of Rian Johnson’s contribution to the series. Nasty, lazy moviemaking. 

Every time someone said, "You're a Palpatine," in that po faced way, my toes literally curled.
