Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Rian Johnson, December 15, 2017) Movie • Page 279

Dang he had his kid when he was 11.

 

There is never a reason to lash out like that.
Just awful.

I couldn’t be a creator with the twitter verse existing at the same time.
Would get way too worked up

 

God damn it these people I don’t understand. Love what rian Johnson said

 

As much as I believe a big reason for the low audience scores on various websites is primarily bots and trolling, I'm increasingly worried we're in "Disney plays the next 5 movies too safe" territory. An extra bummer when there's ways in which I thought even this one could've been riskier.

Fwiw, still have yet to have a convo with a single real world friend who thought it was less than great.

 

It's pretty ballsy to tell Rian Johnson that you understand Star Wars better and love it more than he does. Are fanboys seriously brain dead enough think Kathleen Kennedy would hire someone who hates Star Wars? These are the same people who won't shut up about how smart and knowledgable are are.

Give me the strength to one day be as professional and level-headed as Rian Johnson. If I were him, I'd be giving dorks verbal wedgies as I drive off to my castle of money in my newly refurbished classic Camaro blasting 'Panama' by Van Halen.

 

This guy's dad took him so see Revenge of the Sith when he was 10, no wonder he has anger issues

 

I was going to say...

 

Hahahahaha

 

I still think this is a great movie, but some of the choices made have been bothering me a bit more as I spend more time thinking about them. I think I need to see it a second time to really cement my judgment, because my initial reaction was overwhelmingly positive.

I think one of the core elements driving the more nuanced critiques of this movie (not the "SJWs/feminism/diversity ruined Star Wars!!1!" garbage) is that it feels like JJ set up some very specific themes/questions in TFA to be dealt with in the next movie, and Rian decided he was ultimately more interested in other aspects of the story, and took it in a rather different direction. So I can see the argument that it feels like there wasn't enough of a "unified vision", but honestly I think that can be a strength as well... because a lot of the best parts of this movie came from its risky moves. That's a really difficult balancing act for any studio and director to pull off for a franchise this big.

Point is that I do have some mixed feelings on it, because I admire the bold choices Rian made, but at the same time feel like when viewed as a series, TFA followed by TLJ may feel almost... disjointed somewhat.

 

about to head into the theater for round 3, can’t wait!

 

There is no franchise in entertainment that I care enough about to get this upset over. They kill a minor character so you send hateful messages to the director. That would never be my reaction lol

 

My daughter made a nice addition to our toy nativity scene we put up this year

 

Second round in an hour. I managed to make it fit with “work” in order to make it happen.

 

Right under $25 million for the second Friday. Half of TFA $50 million second Friday. Expecting around a 70% weekend drop which is pretty steep.

 

I think that would have happened no matter what the reception to the movie was. The hype for TFA was just massive

 

Not getting the repeat views that they got with the other movies

 

Huh. This is actually the first of the new ones that I saw multiple times in the theater.

 

I’ve already seen this more in theaters than I did Rogue One.

For Rogue One, I only really wanted to see the third act again in theaters. With this, I want to see everything again on the big screen, even the Canto Brite stuff.

 

Yea this is the only corner of the internet that I’ve seen enjoy the movie

 

I follow lots of Star Wars sites and blogs that love it.

 

A Blizzard of New Releases are Hitting Theaters Over Christmas Weekend - Box Office Mojo

Still looking like a very good weekend. Better than Justice League’s opening.

 

I'd be interested in seeing a state-by-state breakdown of the 2nd week repeat viewings. The theaters are still all sold out here in California.

 

Carrie Fisher wrote some of her funniest 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' lines

 

this guys already an alien

 

This second one is obviously making fun of the other dorks on twitter lol
