So now someone is murdered by the government for killing a former doctor of a former president??? :psyduck:

The guy didn't even kill the doctor because he was H.W. Bush's doctor. He killed him because a botched surgery killed his mother so he did it for revenge.

What the gently caress is wrong with this woman's brain?

the conservative persecution complex has gotten so out of control that they post red X marks on their twitter handles to let you know that twitter is preventing people from reading their tweets because twitter is all about liberal censorship of conservatives

these idiots cant function unless they are imagining how utterly put upon and unpopular and hated they are. its like they're all 14 years old. this is why they collapse into hot bitter tears at the concept of things like white privilege and how only whites can be racist in america, and are constantly accusing others of having their feelings too hurt to survive. or how liberals have banned the use of "merry christmas" in america despite the christmas season lasting from november 1 through january 15

The Last Jedi had some good bits but a lot of it was basically 'the plot hooks from the last movie? don't matter, lol' and I think it had either too many passes through the cutting room or not enough.

I think the problem is that it was deeply mediocre, which for a franchise film is far worse than being bad. Hell, you can have all kinds of fun with a bad movie.

The two plot hooks that "go nowhere" are Snoke and Reys lineage and that second one definitely goes somewhere and somewhere very faithful to the point of Empires big Vader daddy twist.

I wonder how common this actually is. Anecdotal and all, but a colleague of mine went to that museum and she said there was an American woman who was clearly upset about it, like it was a personal attack on her based on her nationality.

The Last Jedi has some pretty serious issues. Pacing is the biggest one. You've got 4 storylines going on simultaneously but it all feels really inconsistent in terms of how time passes. Then there's the dumb Harry Potter planet that feels really out of place. That said Luke facing down Kylo is one of the best things in the franchise.

I don't think it's important to quantify how bad various movies are. they are absolutely worse then ANH and ESB, so who reaaly care if they are worse then ROJ but better then the first 3? They shouldn't have been made at all.

That scene where Yoda shows up after like 30 years and punks the poo poo out of Luke and calls him an idiot moron is the best scene in all of star wars, for that alone I am glad that the movie was made

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the prequel trilogy ends up better regarded than the sequel trilogy, because at least the prequels have a consistent vision and tone and involve stuff the audience kind of cares about, or at least kinda occupy somewhere between 'kinda enjoy' and 'love to mock'. While I think TFA got a lot of slack for being "more Star Wars!! That isn't Jar Jar and politicians!!' and Rogue One was pretty good (despite the first half being a cut-to-pieces mess) and had a daring ending, the novelty's worn off by now and people are starting to wonder what they're supposed to like about these movies.

I think with the quantifier that it was extrajudicial extradition of a banker hiding vast amounts of illegal money in an offshore tax haven you'd have a lot more people down with that nowadays.

Uhhhh. Have you not seen the prequels? We go from goofy slapstick to a beheading in the opening 20 minutes in RotS.

The only consistent thing in the prequels is the merchandising.

I get that people might not like the fact that the newer movies are more meta commentary on the Star Wars franchise but literally no one complains about that. Its always being mad about Canto Bight and Reys parents.
