Well, I posted it in YOVCT about a month ago, but of course, you don't watch any of my "crap" video posts.

lumberjim · 12-17-2015, 04:08 PM

that's true. so I still don't think I've actually seen one.

xoxoxoBruce · 12-17-2015, 04:23 PM

I've tried to avoid them. I don't want to get into the theater crush so I'll wait till there's no lines, which means trying to avoid spoilers. Hah, good luck to me with that.

May I ask why?

Even if I were physically able, I wouldn't go to the theater.

I haven't seen the trailer. And I definitely won't be seeing the movie, in the theater or otherwise. But I'm happy for my friends who are excited about something they like.

May I ask why not? #justcurious

I have a bit of extra pep in my step this morning.

Getting taken out to lunch with colleagues, last day of work before a week's vacation, HUGE cleanup project prior to construction at work is basically done, and we're going to see Star Wars at 6:40 tonight!

Really it's the Star Wars I'm excited about. My son was blasting the soundtrack on the stereo before school this morning. And he made a Star Wars countdown advent calendar type thing with drawings and flashing LEDs and turned it to TODAY this morning.

I'm irrationally excited about this.

Oh, and John Williams deserves about 80% of the credit for Star Wars's success.

In all honesty, I just think it's dumb. I don't hate it, other people can like it and that's fine. But I thought the originals were dumb, then I couldn't understand the anger at the second three because as far as I could tell they were just as dumb as the first three, no worse, and now I don't get the open-armed forgiveness of the prodigal son Lucas for what will no doubt be another solidly mediocre kids' movie.

I mean that's the thing, really. Adults were all, "Phantom Menace was a travesty!" but I assure you little kids thought it was GREAT. And now those little kids are young adults, and they will see this new one and it will ruin the franchise for them, just as #1 supposedly ruined it for all the 70s kids. Kids are dumb and they like dumb stuff, and that's fine. But it's astounding to me how many people can't see that the same is true of their own childhood stuff.

Go on, see it and enjoy the nostalgia. That'll be fun. But don't tell me it's an objectively good piece of filmmaking.

Clodfobble · 12-18-2015, 08:40 AM

Wouldn't be the first time.

xoxoxoBruce · 12-18-2015, 11:48 AM

Who the fuck wants to see good film making besides James Lipton and the pretentious twats at PBS? I want entertainment, not intellectual stimulation.

DanaC · 12-18-2015, 12:17 PM

Lucas didn't direct this one though, did he? Isn't this JJ's big splash?

I loved the first Star Wars movie - but I wasn't a mega fan (I leaned more to Star Trek growing up) and I really didn't rate the prequel movies. The originals were corny, butthey had heart - the prequels felt flat and like they were taking themselves too seriously.

I wasn't all that excited about the idea of another Star Wars film - except that JJ Abrams is involved and I like his work. Recently I've rwad some things about it that made me more interested. So, I'll be watching it - but not at the cinema. I'll watch it at home.

It's her opinion, and she's entitled to it.

Yep, and even tho it'll be quite some time B4 I see bit, I can pretty much guarantee he's better off directing this type of story than what he did with the Star Trek reboot.

DanaC · 12-18-2015, 01:48 PM

I liked the Star Trek reboot.
