I'm not, and I've noticed the people telling him that he's wrong are some of the most infamously dumb people on these forums.. just food for thought.

Oh yeah, I did not mean to imply that nobody laughed at all during my screenings. Just not at Ren. The thumbs up has been a huge hit, as has the resistance medic giving Chewie some much needed validation.

It's weird how expressive they made a salad bowl sitting on top of a soccer ball.

Poe's first lines got some laughs at my showing. It was a nice way to show right away the dialogue in this Star Wars was going to be a little different from in the past. I guess they had some comedy lines between Anakin and Obi-Wan in the very beginning of Episode III but even those weren't delivered quite as snappily.

I normally don't see movies in the theatre unless I think they'll benefit from being seen on a large screen. I save small, character-driven pieces for Netflix. And I haven't seen a movie in theatre twice since Return of the King, when my friends dragged me a second time. But I think The Force Awakens was the first time I've felt that a regular movie screen wasn't big enough, and I might have to see it again in IMAX. The sheer scope of some of those long shots must be just staggering on a screen that size.

If you're going to link to the dude's twitter profile picture, at least link to his twitter profile e: vvv yup, we've been over this.

I saw this last night, and the biggest laugh in the theatre was when Kylo Ren took off his mask and looked like a total dweeb. And I think it's plausible to buy that Ren is trying to be like Vader, but bigger and better (and feeling totally inadequate about it) — that fits next to the starkiller base being like the death star but bigger and with more teeth. It's also believable that Abrams would move this way given that when he made Star Trek 09 the villain was also someone obsessed with the canon of the original series. Speaking of characters and canon, has anyone else in this 4000 post thread remarked yet that Rey is a character who was abandoned ~15-20 years ago and has sustained herself by salvaging Star Wars brand memorabilia and fantasizing about the events of the original trilogy? The Force Awakens seems to have a story running through it about canon and fandom, but I'm not sure how complete it is.
