Agreed on all counts. Great cast, but I didn’t feel any of it. Felt weird to have seven people on a shift. On a busy Friday night, my (competitor) store had maybe five tops... and even then maybe for a couple hours overlap only.

Why does this guy act like this pretty picture movie with the barest of plots is at all more “sophisticated” or meaningful than any other big budget action flick? 

I recognize that it’s hard to think otherwise due to the vitriol of the haters, but I think a lot more people liked Lost Jedi than is advertised. The problem is that the discourse became a poisoned well almost instantly.

“hat those who didn’t luxuriate in Pandora during Avatar’s recent theatrical re-release might have forgotten the distinct smell of its fresh paint.”

I have some wonderful, absolutely real news for you:

Which scorcese films is this one going to remake?

I don’t like the phrase “overrated,” generally speaking. But looking down Aronofsky’s ouevre at this point... he has one main speed, and while he makes good movies, it’s not that fantastic. 

Really? Oh, wow. Even after the big hullabaloo of Cavill returning for the Black Adam cameo? 

“would bite on keeping this incarnation of the character on the table”

fuck, this is perfect.

And reasons why if I go to my father’s funeral, I won’t speak at it =D 

Yeah, commit to the bit or don’t. What a weird halfway. 

AMAZING 

Scientology isn’t going to fuck you, bro —-

It’s probably my age, but Rebecca was always more interesting and fun than Diane to me. 

Lowkey classic. 

I fucking love the movie II-VI uniforms. They might be my favorite in ALL of Trek. The later season DS9, when they switched to just colored shoulders, are probably second. The First Contact uniforms are tops as well. 

people dying doesn’t magically absolve from the harm they’ve caused or horrifying things they’ve said or done. 

Fully agreed. It stinks.

Of the many irritating choices made by DC under the guiding hand of Geoff Johns was restoring Hal Jordan and Barry Allen as the “primary” Lantern and Flash. Both because Barry sucked then and sucks now —- Wally was Flash almost as long and was a zillion times better.

cullen as prime is still surprising, honestly. obviously most of the casting is “random celebrity who will do like four lines and then have them heavily processed”
