Doohicksie Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 That's what I did. I didn't read this until yesterday after having watched the movie. Quote

Ogre Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 How much longer do we need to hide every thought inside Spoiler tags? You'd think a sane person who wanted to go in fresh would have the sense to not read this thread. Until everyone is strong enough with the force to smurf out what everyone already thought it be? Oops. I smurfed when I should have forced! Stoopid me! I'll hold my thoughts until we are full go. Quote

Doohicksie Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 I think Robviously or one of the mods should add SPOILERS INSIDE to the title and we're good to go. Quote
GoPre Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 I think Robviously or one of the mods should add SPOILERS INSIDE to the title and we're good to go. I like that idea. Quote
shrader Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 Yeah, I'd say we are beyond the spoiler window at this point. Quote
Rasmus_ Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 Kind of unexpectedly saw it tonight. My son stopped by and kind of spur of the moment I suggested we go. So I watched it with my two sons. Enjoyed it. Not too many surprises for me, but a lot of good action. I wanted to avoid spoilers so I haven't read this thread at all. One thing about the movie though... Carrie Fisher sounds like a cross between Betty White and Hillary Clinton. Yeah, it was pretty much a remake of Episode IV. I was thinking that as I walked out of the theater and unprompted, my son said the same thing. Lol on Fisher! Quote
Kristian Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 I just need to add : I was absolutely blown away, felt like I was 11 years old again for two hours. It'll never win an oscar, but I couldn't care less :w00t: Quote
josie Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 My boss is making me watch the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special today. He said "I am determined to waste your time today". Quote

woods-racer Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) What do you get a Wookie for Christmas? I don't Know, what do you get a Wookie for Christmas? This is like a knock- knock joke right? Edited December 22, 2015 by Woods-Racer Quote
josie Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 What do you get a Wookie for Christmas? I believe you mean Life Day, sir. And I guess the answer is LSD trip porn machines for grandpa, Jefferson Starship music videos for mom, and .... computer hacking equipment for Lumpy. God that was bad. The animation in the middle that was all Heavy Metal-esque that introduced Boba Fett (seriously, that was the first time he was ever mentioned!) was pretty neat. He was riding dinosaurs on some jelly planet. Son of a b!tch. get me a drink. Quote

Weave Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Saw the movie today. All I want to say is, thank you, thank you, thank you to any and all that had a role in getting actors that could actually act, and creating a script that wasn't tearfully bad. Renewed my interest in this franchise. Quote

dEnnis the Menace Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Just saw the movie last night! Wow! Loved it. Going to see it again Saturday! Quote
nfreeman Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 I saw it last night with the family. I can't say that I thought it was a great movie, and I did think it was a bit corny and predictable in parts, but it was pretty good and thoroughly enjoyable. It moved along smartly, it was witty and well-acted and it looked amazing. I did think it recycled a number of plot points from the first trilogy -- the x-wing fighters attacking a heavily armed and defended death star, the father-son conflict, etc. Also, Leia just seemed like a grumpy old woman, and a lot of Han's dialogue was pretty cornball stuff (although it might've gotten a little dusty in there when he and Chewie made their reappearance in the Falcon). Also, I will go on record as predicting there is NFW that Han Solo is gone. Quote

Had a Saber rammed through him and he fell who knows how far. Solo will be in Episode VIII. The cast has already been announced. I see him being used in flashbacks. Quote
ubkev Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Meh, didn't like it. I hope/think I will like the next one better. Quote

Easy. Just hire some Walking Dead writers. Quote
Weave Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 The scenes were visually incredible. Tie fighters coming in backdropped by a setting sun. Had a very Apocalypse Now look to it. And the dogfighting scenes, Wow. Quote
spndnchz Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 OK. We're officially getting rid of spoilers as of Jan 1. Fire away! In 2016 Quote
WildCard Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 The scenes were visually incredible. Tie fighters coming in backdropped by a setting sun. Had a very Apocalypse Now look to it. And the dogfighting scenes, Wow. Visually amazing indeed. Abrams is very good at that, did the same stuff in Star Trek Solid 8.5-9/10 IMO, going to review this thread tomorrow at work Quote
ubkev Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 So, I've been on the rag(figuratively, of course) all week and I'm curious to know weather or not my enjoyment of Star Wars suffered from it. I'm in a much better mood now and am going to hit up a matinee showing tomorrow. The boy wasn't nuts about it either, but he agreed to go with me again and give it another shot. Quote
