I think my favorite bit in that entire movie is when Han says, "Hey, Luke ... may the Force be with you" before the Death Star attack. Ford looks like he's trying to keep from vomiting on camera when he delivers that line.

I'm glad we all agree that Star Wars owns because it's so awkward and dorky.

bows1 posted:Yeah the Star Wars thread is full of weird reviews and people explaining all the plot holes that would have been easily fixed, only to have other people completely show that everything they mention was completely explained; it's just that a character didn't stare down the lens and explain it and you had to pay attention to get it. Not going back into that thread. Fury Road all over again, huh?

Carrie Fisher acting like a random person and Alec Guinness not giving a gently caress is what makes the film work. George Lucas knows how to utilize 'bad' acting.

SW Christmas Special is worth at least one watch. If you've seen one musical special/variety show with interminable, awful songs, you know what you're in for.

It sounds like it's a wild ride, but it's like 95% the most boring poo poo ever.

Him not caring at that point sort of makes sense for the character. Like he's basically planning to commit suicide the whole time. In front of his protege, to piss him off at Darth? It's actually pretty funny and twisted if you think about it.

Holiday Special is one of those things that's worth watching once just to say that you have but other than that its irredeemable. Naturally I've watched it about 5 times.

Like, "watch this Luke, I'm about to get iced." The thing is he doesn't really get iced. Even Vader isn't sure what the gently caress is going on. It always read it as being more than just a self sacrifice to keep Luke from staying behind and risking his life; Obi Wan's trying to show him that you don't always have to fight to win, and the the force is mysterious and poo poo. I dunno, I'm a big dumb nerd.

One thing I loved about SW7 was the lack of lightsabers, it brought back a lot of the weight to when they were used. It's like the revolver in Brick.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Reading CD reviews of Star Wars is disheartening/fascinating. It's like "it was good. The characters didn't annoy me. I'm glad it's out of the way so we can have a real movie in 2017. I didn't understand the story, but it should be explained in 2017. 9/10." I mean, if you already know a film is basically the first act of a three-act story, why not judge it as such?

It becomes transcendently weird after a half a liter of whiskey. Well weirder.

We're nearing the end of the year so I'm assuming some of you will be making a Best of list. Before doing so y'all should check out Monsters: Dark Continent. I was expecting a low budget Asylum type movie but got a thoughtful, surprisingly sharp anti-war film. The Monsters in the movie are merely a backdrop to the horrors the protagonists face. It's also really pretty.
