Governor Sebelius, eh? Wasn’t he killed in Episode III, Revenge of the Sith?

Dr Larycia Hawkins: Victim of shitty academic job market, had to take job anywhere she could get one.

Can someone, anyone, please, explain to me why Samuel Jackson has a career in Hollywood? This empty yogurt container next to me has more acting ability.

that would have been SO BADASS and so much better than the drek we got.

With what fleet? Dammit Abrams, literally the only thing I cared about seeing in the new movies is how badass the Republic capital ships have become. Now it’s gonna be a rag-tag group of hastily pulled together fighters protecting tourist cruisers-cum-battle cruisers? I’VE ALREADY SEEN THAT MOVIE.

On a road across the country a few years back, the very first person my friend and I talked to in Kentucky replied, with absolutely no judgment whatsoever, “Are y’all gay or straight?” when we told her we were from California and asked for a good bar in the neighborhood. When we said “straight” she explained that…

sorry, thought you were upset that they didn’t try. i dont know this zipang. i will look into it.

I would have considered the Force Awakens to be a worthy successor if it had done two things: advanced an original idea rather than reboot A New Hope almost entirely; told the story I’d think most fans wanted — the immediate events after ROTJ, which from the hasty backstory exposition we get in TFA , was interesting…

your father in law is already drunk on Christmas EVE morning? that’s awesome.

Any list at all that doesn’t have Zlatan at #1 is horseshit, and I don’t even care if that list has anything to do with soccer.

Dude, they get swallowed by the time vortex as they’re steaming to head off the Japanese.

WAAAHH? I love that movie.

Wouldn’t you have wanted to see what our heroes had been doing those past three decades? What a series of sequels that would have been. Luke building up a Jedi Academy, Han and Leia having children, one of them gets seduced (by who - Snoke?) to the dark side, meanwhile a resistance tries to mop up the last vestiges of…

Agreed. Harrison, Carrie, and Mark aged out of their roles.

Uh, Only ONE thing? I can think of about 50 things I hated.

For God’s sake people, if you live in an area where the best taqueria you can find is Chipotle you’ve wasted your life and need to move immediately, imo.

That the Force Awakens is essentially a remake of A New Hope instantly gave the prequels more respect in my eyes. Horrible though they were, they tried to expand the Star Wars story, not retell it.

I mean that there were times when it was apparent that the script had been dropped into a rain-filled gutter, picked up, wiped off, then when parts were smeared to the point of unreadability, hastily re-written to plug in pointless bits of A New Hope in a panic.

Yes it did. It sucked in lots of ways.
