Tarantino probably met him on a “guys who like to choke women” board. “Oh, you act too?”

I think it’s really sad that Shawkat feels bad about not saying enough. She was the youngest person in the room, and shouldn’t be tasked with telling a bunch of grown men who are seasoned professionals to maybe let Walter be heard about something she experienced. That’s the kind of courtesy they should be capable of…

How many tickets can I preorder at once?

which is what makes the movie so ballsy and so great. It’s a much needed self-reflection for the franchise.

A lot of capital N Nerds don’t actually like movies or think about them in terms of filmmaking as an art form/craft. They like signifiers. They want to see familiar symbols do familiar things and they want the characterization to make them feel strong in the same way that they felt when they were kids.

I do like all the choices. However, I’m also holding out hope that they’ll give Christina Ricci, Christopher Lloyd, and maybe Anjelica Houston and Carol Kane something to do as a throwback to the 90s movies.

I guess it’s no wonder that an anti-wish fulfillment movie about the uselessness of nostalgia would have such vocal opposition.

I don’t think anyone is saying that “if you dislike TLJ, you’re a sexist”. More that “if you’re this passionately angry over the movie, there’s probably more going on there”.  And for a lot of these people, that thing is sexism.

I had an ex who was deep, deep, deep into nerd shit. D&D, LARPing, Farscape, the whole nine. She put together a movie night with me and some of the dorks she’d adopted. We took turns bringing in movies. One time, this guy who’d had his name legally changed to Grey brings in the Christopher Lambert Beowulf movie. (In…

These are the idiots that keep complaining about Star Wars movies that aren’t all about white males, and then skip the Star Wars movie that actually is about a white male in protest.
Not the sharpest tools in the shed, these guys.

Although I wasn’t a fan of TLJ’s Canto Bight subplot, I did find Kelly Marie Tran’s performance as Rose to be genuinely charming and likeable. She came across as a sweet and unassuming character, which is very appealing in a genre that is often populated by cocksure mavericks and rogues.

I truly hope Episode 9 is nothing but Kelly Tran & Daisy Ridley flipping these fuckos off for 120 minutes.

She and Daisy seem like such friendly, bubbly people—I hate to see the internet ruin their day-to-day lives like this. Protect them!!!

Geez man, some people just need a swift kick in the nuts. I didn’t care for the Rose arc at all in TLJ but never once did I ever think about shitting on the actress that played her. I didn’t even think about harassing Rian Johnson or the writers. I did what any normal person would do; crack open some bourbon, sleep it…

People can sure be assholes. This is not news, of course, and yet it still surprises me at how good a significant percentage of us seem to be at it.

I hope this doesn’t sour Kelly Marie Tran on the whole experience. Still, if she or Ridley, or anybody else placed in that unenviable position DID and became reclusive and…

I don’t even concede that her character sucked.

I liked her character. The storyline needed some work, though.

I’m old enough to have been to eps 4-6 when they premiered in theaters. I am a huge fan of the series, and completely embarrassed by how I’m now lumped in with other “fans” who are d-bag zeroes. (Kind of like Trump’s America... oh nevermind.)

Sci-fi fans really are the worst for this kind of bullshit. And don’t come at me with #notallscififans. I’m one too but as a general population, they’re the worst. They’ll believe in any manny of futuristic craziness, but let a woman or non-white person show up and they lose their shit. Fantasy fans, too.

People are dumb as hell. Real Star Wars fans know the only person truly worthy of hate in the Star Wars universe is its creator.
