I actually prefer movies with female leads because if I'm to watch something for nearly 2 hours I'd rather be looking at a cute girl than some grisly man being all badass.

That only worked for 80's and early 90's era action movies, not in the modern years where they're all pretty boys.

Why not? Do the pretty boys give you feelings that confuse you?

We're gaping at Plastron's wages now? What in the what?

I knew your love/hate relationship had to be an Oedipus complex, but this is a little more blatant than I was expecting.

It's hard to believe he kisses his sexworker with that mouth, isn't it?

Here's a review from Digital Spy

Quote:
What results is a poignant, powerful paean to the Star Wars Universe, set in a world where the best thing you can hope for is hope itself. It's a perfect and complete standalone, but it changes everything.

Watching A New Hope will never feel the same again.

Its so ironic this movie came out the same year Donald Trump was elected president and Brexit happened. Sometimes movies really do imitate real life.

Some pretty light spoilers...

Spoiler:
* Vader has a big scene where he slaughters "everybody" with his lightsaber. I'm not sure if these are the good guys or Imperials he's killing. Didn't ask.
* Tarkin is indeed in it, has a whole scene with him giving a big speech about fear. I'm told he's entirely CGI.
* A CGI Leia appears in two scenes!
* The last 30 minutes are confirmed to be "epic."

After seeing the movie, anyone who thinks it's feminist or any other-nist, is an idiot.

If this is true, I find it a bit tasteless.

I really wish they'd stop releasing Star Wars movies close to Christmas. I didn't see Episode 7 until the middle of January and it'll probably be the same with this one. No way am I going to attend a busy theater packed with screaming kids and adults to see Star Wars before the holidays.

Couple of people I know who've seen it, said the first 2/3 are a bit meh (and they can see where the rewrites and edits have probably gone on), and last 1/3 (I guess the "epic" bit) is proper, full on Star Wars and worth paying the money for. Guess I'll see for myself on Sunday!
