My mom (and several others in the theater) audibly guffawed as if to say "seriously?" when CGI Leia came on. Which is a shame, because I get why they felt like they had to do CGI Tarkin (though I've seen R1 three times now and he still doesn't seem believable to me), but I feel like Leia is one of the few characters…

I wanted more Leia and more Kylo. I think I just want the film "Mother" in space, basically.

Have you seen the little Carrie tribute film from SWCO yet? If not, wait til after to put on your mascara.

…I would watch that movie.

I have to admit, I was surprised when I found out that CGI Tarkin was just Cushing's face on a live actor's body. I thought the actor's twitchy movements were CGI Fail, but nope, it was just dude being twitchy. Maybe this is what contributes to the Tarkin Uncanny Valley, though - I don't remember Cushing being so…

Truth: back in the late 90s, I broke up with an extremely hot person because I was super into music and had just started collecting vinyl, and meanwhile her CD collection was, like, twelve CDs, most of them Greatest Hits compilations. Okay, there were a few other reasons, too, but her lack of ANY apparent interest in…

Same for me - I heard this soundtrack around the same time as I discovered the Nuggets collection, both of which provided my entryway to Love. Some years later, a musician friend of mine was playing a Love tribute show. I asked if they would play "Always See Your Face," and he just gave me the snobby record store…

Second that. I had no idea that I would find two minutes of Frances McDormand swearing like a drunk, angry sailor so delightfully cathartic.

I'm shocked, shocked to find that I am actually excited about a non-Star-Wars-related thing! Huzzah, Mary Timony!

Maybe because it started as a more niche entertainment site that wasn't trying to cater to the frightfully dumbed-down mainstream, and the early commenters set a good tone that has remained remarkably consistent through the years? Maybe the levels of snark have now truly risen to an impenetrable level? Maybe because…

Oh man, the comments on YouTube videos are some of the worst. I've been watching old episodes of Dinner for Five on there recently, and I accidentally scrolled down to the comments the other day. Good God, people are dumb and mean! Maybe the presence of Vince Vaughn was attracting some particularly douchey bros to…

Sad admission of the day: I'm about to turn 39 years old, and all I want out of life these days is some cool-ass Vader shit. I'm shocked as hell that, even in my emotionally numb, jaded state, the R1 corridor scene still does not fail to get my heart beating. You really feel the desperation of the rebels when that…

Word. His ringtone is probably "Stranglehold."

I'm just glad to see the return of the iPod Classic.

I'm 100% in favor of this, and yes, sadly, Terri Garr would've been perfect for it. I'd love to see something that would combine the tight comedy foursome of the original Girls with an ever-evolving cast of friends and neighbors who would come over for poker nights and barbecues, a la Roseanne. It could just be a…

Upvoted for unintentionally excellent typo.

I dig this song, and, incidentally, I didn't realize that NASA archive footage with a GBV soundtrack was a thing I wanted until right now.

Thanks for sharing yours, Freddie! Man, Sk8 TV! I used to dream of finding a giant, empty pool like the one on that show.

Shit…it's kinda more twee than I would normally like, but I'm not ashamed to say it got to me. That "my arm fell asleep and dreamt it was your arm" line sounds very Carrie-esque.

I saw some skateboarding competition on TV back in the early 80s (maybe Wide World of Sports?) and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I was begging my mom for a skateboard - at that time, the only skateboards I'd seen in real life were crappy Nash boards at Toys R Us that had, like, cartoon characters on them. …
