As someone with a three year old, I can personally say that I'm very excited for both the actual movie and all the toys. If I didn't have a toddler, I'd probably still be very excited/cautiously optimistic about the movie anyway.

Didn't do the midnight thing, although I did it for Phantom Menace (big mistake). As I recall, at the Toys R Us on State Street in 1999 it was impossible to find Darth Maul. But then very soon you could find Darth Maul everywhere. Guessing the same happens with Captain Phasma.

Oh yeah, first thing I did when I saw him on Rubicon. Gia was the most mind-blowing to me.

I'm not saying these types of bigots will succeed, and it's obvious based on recent events that they really haven't, but it doesn't change the…

I'm still unclear, and maybe this hasn't been revealed/spoiled yet, but in this new Ghostbusters movie, do the old Ghostbusters exist or no?

I'm with you, I don't fucking get it at all. I think it's part of Weird Twitter which I also don't get. Modern Seinfeld, it's a thing, it's OK, no big deal. I feel like someone involved with The AV Club is behind Seinfeld 2000 because no one covers it quite like they do.
