OT: Surprise to no one, Star Wars was a fun theatrical experience that you can enjoy with your entire family this Holiday season, unless you're a soul sucking Star Wars snob who thinks you're going to see Fiddler on the fucking Roof
This thread is for people who actually enjoy life and want to discuss the good parts of Star Wars and any other flick you're seeing this time of year.
Call of the Wild looks good. I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Title of thread is a tad vague???
December 21st, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
Yeah, I couldn’t quite decipher what the topic of the thread was either. -1. Should be more informative.
December 21st, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
we've all been rather spoiled since that alabama bowl sit-out thread title
December 21st, 2019 at 5:30 PM ^
Especially when so many people said the movie disappointed. I'm assuming that was the soul suckers giving their 2 cents worth.
December 21st, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
Future advice for the OP: "Star Wars"
December 21st, 2019 at 11:37 AM ^
Not sure how good the movie is (haven’t seen it) but I like this thread title. Haha.
December 21st, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
Thank you for this reviewer. My family is going next week and my son and I wanted nothing to do with it but if it enjoyable for non groupies I feel better now
December 21st, 2019 at 12:59 PM ^
I think this sums it up pretty well.....
December 21st, 2019 at 4:54 PM ^
Eh, Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB are heavily tilted towards fake reviews. Studios know that people look at this and pay to boost ratings. Doesn't always mean a movie is good or bad, but this is not the best way to tell.
December 22nd, 2019 at 10:29 PM ^
It's not perfect, but the audience score on rotten tomatoes is consistently the best way to tell for an average viewer.
December 28th, 2019 at 1:42 PM ^
Follow up. We went. Like the original movie or two. This stunk. Nothing to do with the series. Just a bad movie

Looking forward to Revenge of the Maizen where a rather benign mgoposter finally shows his true colors as a Dark Lord of the Sith.
Also looking forward to when he loses it when the film is rated only 3 starz...
December 21st, 2019 at 11:41 AM ^
I cant wait to see 1917. Has great reviews.
December 21st, 2019 at 11:42 AM ^

This is a football board. What's with this nerd stuff? Don't tell me your a Jedi Knight as well.
December 21st, 2019 at 11:47 AM ^

What important football topics are being crowded out by this post? Relax.

How can you not like a Thread Title that seamlessly and tastefully intertwines the works of Joseph Stein and JJ Abrams?
December 21st, 2019 at 11:44 AM ^
Okay I'll admit it...I'm looking forward to Little Women
December 21st, 2019 at 12:01 PM ^
Any movies though?
December 21st, 2019 at 12:36 PM ^
Nice :)
December 21st, 2019 at 11:45 AM ^
The music editor for the film is a Michigan grad, making him possibly the second most famous Michigan alum associated with the Star Wars films.
December 21st, 2019 at 12:09 PM ^
Did you forget about Lawrence Kasdan?
December 21st, 2019 at 12:53 PM ^
So that drops the music editor down to third then.
December 23rd, 2019 at 4:51 AM ^
Who is #1? Oh wait, James Earl Jones.
December 21st, 2019 at 11:47 AM ^
I saw Marriage Story last night.
Hilarious!

Way to be Brutus. All you see on the interwebs is a bunch of virgins bitching about the movie.

Yeah I couldn’t believe the whole time jar jar was pulling the strings
December 21st, 2019 at 11:56 AM ^
George Lucas finally got what he wanted all along.

Side note my wife and I lived Knives Out. Fun flick
December 21st, 2019 at 11:58 AM ^
My wife and I also enjoyed that, thankfully unlike you and your wife we did not have to live it.
December 21st, 2019 at 4:00 PM ^
Knives out looks ok. But idk if I can support Rian Johnson after his TLJ bull shit.
December 21st, 2019 at 4:23 PM ^
I don't care one iota about star wars anymore. Loved the original trilogy as a kid, saw the original trilogy in it's anniversary rerelease and enjoyed it but the prequels lost me and by the time the force awakens came out I saw it and realized I just didn't care anymore. Rian is a pretty good director, knives out is very good, his debut movie Brick is the best noir to come out in probably 30 years and he directed some of my favorite episodes of breaking bad and Looper was pretty damn good too. So his star wars movie which I've never seen and probably never will doesn't weigh into how I rate him as a director.
December 21st, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
Third best after iv v
December 21st, 2019 at 6:24 PM ^
as someone who despised the last jedi and disagrees with brutus that rise of skywalker was good, Knives Out was a decent movie. It wasn't fantastic but it was good enough to say go see it.
December 21st, 2019 at 11:59 AM ^
I thought I saw the best thread title ever either earlier this week or last week...but this thread title is... awesome.
December 21st, 2019 at 11:59 AM ^
Nah it probably sucked. But many of us like sucky things, it's okay!
December 21st, 2019 at 12:01 PM ^
I'm not a Star Wars purist, but the sequels have been underwhelming from a plot standpoint. I haven't seen the latest yet, but I'll go in with low expectations.
December 21st, 2019 at 2:25 PM ^
There was a right way and a wrong way for Disney to handle the franchise once they acquired it from Lucas.
The right way was to get a team of intelligent, creative, and dedicated people, with a track record of writing and filming compelling stories and with experience in the sci-fi genre who really understood the original films and what would make for quality sequels. Then, before you even shoot the first scene, establish the story arc that is going play out over the 3 films.
The other way was to hire someone who has always strictly been a money person in her other film positions, is completely bereft of any creative or storytelling abilities, and had absolutely no business running a franchise like this. Then allow her hire whatever people she felt would sell tickets and film her politically charged ‘vision’ of what the films without question. And then rush the then out as quickly as possibly with no master plan in place as to how everything will transpire over the 3 films.
Guess what path Disney chose?
Regardless of your opinion of the films as good/bad pieces of entertainment. The sad fact is they could have and should have been so much more then they are.
