Gosh I’m impressed. I’d love to do that, it sounds fucking great. Yet lately getting out of bed (unless I have to) is difficult. It’s like a rebirth, and boy am I not happy to be alive. Takes a while to level out. I should go to the cinema in the morning. Can’t wait to go and watch it, I won’t go with Russella though because watching Rogue One with her turned out to be an absolute nightmare. |

You should do it! It saved going to the cinema for me, which i hate when it's busy, you can take a bacon sarnie and a coffee along and you get that lovely feeling of emerging from the darkness in to broad daylight. |

Reviews are starting to come in, and are pretty positive. |

I want to hear all about where it went wrong going to see Rogue One with Mrs Dust. |

Imagine a very angry man who’s just been wrestled to the floor by three men, and yet who is slowly getting back up with them hanging off him. Moments before I must have told them to “fuck off” repetitively for about ten times. It got verbal, to the point where I wanted to punch one of them. He wasn’t very big but very agressive and feisty. I didnt want to hurt him too much or get in trouble with the police so I slapped him, really hard. “You don’t deserve to be punched”. He threw two pretty poor punches at me, and all I can then remember is that a few more people from the building had gathered near the end of the hallway, about ten meters from where I was (by my front door). By then the three guys weren’t so sure of themselves and had joined the others. I was screaming at them, absolutely screaming. Then everyone went home because the cops turned up. Pretty shameful really but I had drunk quite a few Belgian beers before the screening, and trust me, I was so happy. But someone was being a nightmare, purposely, and I went home halfway through. Basically I locked myself in my flat in a rage, and Dusty tried to kick the door down, very brutal kicks. This attracted the attention of people in the building and because we were shouting, three chavs decided they would come and sort me out because I must have obviously tried to kick the door down and surely must have hit my wife. By this time I had had enough, so when the door bell rang and those three twats started, I very loudly told them ten times to fuck off... |
||||||||

I’d do it differently now of course. I was just tested to my furthest limits, and those three really came at a moment when calm is necessary. They could have enquired about the goings on, calmly, and asked to speak with my wife. That wouldn’t have been a problem. Unfortunately they were in my face, smirking and insinuating BS which was the last straw for me. Sigh. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

And there's me thinking she'd just taken issue with a CGI Tarkin. Lovely stuff. Russell Gold. I only wish I'd been there to weigh in. I love the "You don't deserve to be punched" and then slapping. I am so using that. |

Aw, thanks. It was a headfuck really. I was dreading the aftermath, it’s never nice to live in a building where neighbours conspire against you. Yet to my surprise, not one person in the building is upset with me (bar the woman who spits, but that’s old). As it happens, two of the guys don’t live here, and the guy who does “hello sir”s me. On the night my direct neighbours were lovely, and apologised for one of the guys who was their friend. So all in all, they liked the fact that I stuck up for myself, and clearly know I did fuck all wrong in the first place. Still, i would act differently if I could go back. Everything was back to smiles and friendly chit chat waiting for the lift or while walking the dog. The building is weird, it feels like a living entity. David Lynch would like it. |

I heard the last jedi is absolute bollocks, hope its not true |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That sounds like a pretty flippant, and useless comment to me. Of course it’s not going to be bollocks. It might not be great, or have weaknesses for sure, but those sort of comments I take with a pinch of salt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dunno I'm a star wars fan of course, but I can be objective enough to say, actually its not a good star wars film or a good film in general, I mean the phantom menace for instance was for the most part absolute bollocks |

I remember going to the cinema for TPM, and trying to be positive, even though many, many parts where terrible. I soon came to myself though: I really dislike the prequels. The directing is poor, the acting is mostly bland... actually I could go on and on and on. I can’t think of one character from the sequels I cared about. With the new ones, I guess I treat them as my yearly blockbuster. I know I won’t have been made to think, and I’ll just take it as a rush. New ones are no masterpieces, but I enjoyed myself far more, and although less so in Rogue One, I cared about some of the characters. But as always I’ll go in positive. I just want a good time. If I want a masterpiece, or something that gets me thinking there’s plenty of that out there. |

yeah I mean I hope the reports ive heard are wrong, I enjoyed the force awakens, ive just heard reports this new one is different in tone, with adolescent jokes like the marvel films |
||||||||

The pimp hand is strong in you, young padawan. |

Seen it by myself today Luke Skywalker steals the show dudes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was it any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lol, I’ll control you in a minute! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah heard he’s great! And that mark Hamill didn’t like what was done to his character. Bet he’s happy now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
going to see it at 8 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

"reports this new one is different in tone, with adolescent jokes like the marvel films" very much this. personally, i really disliked it. oh, btw, hay guys! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just got back from seeing it myself, it will take me a while to digest my thoughts, at least I got a free poster! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bit worried about Freqy and his reaction to certain things in the film, it might finish him off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
People in general enjoyed the lighter sides to it as well, xlt members of course think it’s adolescent jokes. I guess this film isn’t maybe not just made for adults? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its hard to discuss it without spoilers, so i'll wait till the big fans on here have seen it. Id say the truth for me lies somewhere between the hyperbolic critic reaction and the very negative audience reaction. Id have to see it again to see if it holds up. Mark Hamill is by far the best actor in it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is startling is the difference between critic reviews and audience reception on sites like meta critic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The critics don’t expect a fucking masterpiece like the whiny little fans. People want a film made for THEM now. If it’s a franchise, they feel they know where it should and shouldn’t go, what it should and shouldn’t do. I’m keeping in mind that Hamill didn’t like his script much at first. I hope the fans who hate it, hate it because of deaths or cherished characters gone “wrong”. I could see myself getting annoyed by the jokes if they really are crappy, it I’m really looking forward to it after all! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So you lie in between “brilliant” and “crap”. That’s not very helpful, though your email gave me what I needed to k ow! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

yeah that's a vast space to be in, I think the issue with any new permutation of star wars is that it has too much nostalgia and expectation to live up too. I think everyone has there own personal idea of what should have happened to luke, han etc.. So they are invariably disappointed when the film doesn't match their expectation. I suppose its good that the opportunity is there for me to go the cinema every Christmas from now on with my friends or brother and see a new star wars film. If It was up to me personally, I think I would have not made any more films after return of the jedi, I'm more than happy just to have those excellent films. One of my issues is that if they explore ever facet of the star wars mythos from now on, it sort of takes away from the background and mystery of the original films. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These new films are perfectly serviceable, but they seem to retread to much in less interesting ways, the original films did everything better with better, dialogue, style and cinematography. The only thing better nowadays are the effects, and even then I'm not sure the CGI is entirely effective. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be overly critical, I enjoyed the film for what it was, but it shows how good the original films were. Is there anyone with charisma as Han Solo in the new ones? No. Iconic as Darth Vader? No, snoke is boring really. Its No coincidence by far the best moments of this film is when Mark Hamill is on screen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still at least these new ones aren't as bad as the prequels |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
, don't read comments though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

ahhh this film could have been one and a half hour long. cut out finn and rose subplot (keep their fight scenes at the end). cut out every time they use a symbol like the metal dice or the half moon symbol fucking symbolism. keep in all the leia and luke scenes. add in a scene of luke trying to get a shag out of rey. the start with the lone x wing going against those cruisers was stupid, as were all the times finn and rose surviving stupid bullshit over and over when they should have died. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes you mean when they were surrounded by an entire legion of storm troopers. Rose was definitely an addition so Disney could sell action figures to asia |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
finn and rose = bad, lazy writing snoke = cgi cunt the fight scenes were great, loved the sexual chemistry between rey and ben, wonder if they like each other in real life or if they hate each other like mulder and scully |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shes fit, shes a bit of a weird actress, some scenes she can be good sometime she seems terribly wooden. I think some scenes they should have done more takes of. General Hux was acted really fucking badly, its weird cos that guy was good in the revenant and judge dredd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is Hux the nazi guy that Poe Dameron humiliates? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah |
