Bor Gullet by himself might have been lame but thankfully we've got Saw spouting all of those immensely quotable lines the whole time he's on screen so it's good, lol.

I just got an email from my son's 3rd grade teacher advising that there's a kid in his class with severe peanut allergies so to never send any snacks with peanuts or peanut butter to school and that if my son has any of those things for breakfast to wash his hands thoroughly *before* going to school. It's Charlie!!!

Just watched Hereditary the other night. Last third = crap, meet pants!
Rewatch = OMG they telegraphed everything once you know where they're going.
Good stuff.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
The Blu-ray release is just around the corner, so I'll finally be getting around to it soon. My expectations are close to rock bottom, so at least there's virtually no chance of being disappointed. Han and Lando not played by HF and BDW will be a hurdle for me, but I used to feel the same away about Kenobi played by someone other than Guinness. I was wrong about that one, so who knows?
The L3 droid, though, will likely annoy me to no end. And then there's RoboMaul.
I know it's only a brief cameo at the end, but still . . . why?
Even if I end up not liking Solo, I'm glad a lot of fans like yourself have it as another SW film to enjoy. And I'm pretty sure I'll end up ranking it comfortably ahead of the prequels.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
I’m just saying . I only see select groups of people actually liking the film
See this is why the hate train gets such a negative rap....because of statements like this.
And this
No offense if you have not met anyone who liked it the odds are you don’t know alot of people.
He is not the only person, he is not even the only person on this board.
I understand the passion with which the haters have for this film, but reality is not everyone.
I will assume are blissfully unaware of the reality that this film was more like 50/50. Or that you are intentionally unaware. If its that latter , here is a few examples of the reality of the reviews.
Do MOST people like it ? No , that would imply greater than 50 percent......

Y'know, I've been coming round to that way of thinking lately. "Empire is the best" is a mantra I've been repeating since childhood without really questioning it.
But for now...
ESB
ANH
ROTJ/ROTS
TFA/TLJ
RO
AOTC
TPM
Solo
Glad you found something to like in the PT!
L3 is the new Rose. And so soon after the old one!
Maybe I'm just becoming a grumpy old white man, but the concepts of droid rights and the beginnings of the Rebellion just seem misplaced in what should be a movie about scoundrels.
If you believe Han was an idealist at the start, that means he goes from idealist to cynic to idealist to cynic in the course of the saga.
We'll have to see how Lando is portrayed in IX.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
I'm glad I stopped taking this crap so seriously a while ago. Imagine being one of those neckbeards on youtube that actually scream and froth at the mouth about this nonsense.
Obviously I still have my opinions but I no longer have any emotional connection.
So the lame, boring, static, flat, garbage character from the new movies likes to make sweet tender love to aliens/robots/other men/food items. Who cares?

I don't think the 2 million videos on youtube qualifies as indifference, I could be wrong.

The attitude towards future installments is indifference. No one cares what they plan on doing. A lot of hate for TLJ still though.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
lol at thinking SW is dead.
OT trilogy will always exist by being passed on to future generations.
Disney/ILM is testing a VR experience where you’re actually inside the OT standing next to the characters inside their environment.
SW isn’t going anywhere the name is synonymous with cinema.
To say SW is dead is to say cinema is dead.
SW RIP = lulz

If SW could survive 99% hate against the prequels it can survive 50% hate against TLJ, lol.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
What if SW died and current SW is an imposter taking its place? Notice how you never see SW and new SW in the same room together...
Hmm I smell a cover up.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
Of course SW isn't dead. Not yet. The problem for SW is longevity.
Today's and future generations will not care about the ST/Disney era like us old farts cared about the OT, or the generation that grew up with and care about the PT. So where will it be 20 years from now. Will anyone care, and if they do and still only care about the OT/PT characters, that's sad.
None of the new characters seem to have staying power, or lasting appeal. They are all just meh... There is no new Vader, Luke, Han, Leia.... Kylo is boring, still don't no where Finn actually fits in or who he's supposed to be. Rey with her perfection will never equate to Luke's relatability, growth nor emotional journey. Poe is no Han, Rose is about as like able as Jar Jar. BB-8 was fun until he became a ridiculous hero. The First Order is laughable compared to The Empire.
It's just so bland and uninspiring. No real life lessons to be learned, other than current PC culture which will fade. Neither of my kids like the new stuff, none of my sons (12) friends care much about SW. Even the vehicle designs leave nothing to be desired. But the cgi & visuals are great (other than Yoda...ugh). TFA merch sold better before the movie came out, then floundered after people saw it on screen. Disney will need to reinvent this franchise like every decade. It will not be like the OT and 40+years of loyal fans who share their passion with their kids. Sad, really. No more family bonding over future SW..
The merchandise for the ST just sits and rots. While the OT and even PT characters are still hard to find and go for an arm and a leg once no longer at retail. Just look at the ST HT figures. You can't give them away without huge losses. EVERY character.
Of course this is all MY opinion, which could also change. As could Disney truly seeing their errors and try to fix what they broke and course correct... But also congrats to those that do enjoy and find something to their liking in this new ST era. Unfortunately, so far for me that hasn't happened. I can only thank Disney for RO, as the rest I have already forgotten. Only time will tell, and of course if people keep interest.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
As much as I dislike the prequels, there were still some positives that I appreciate. Even a few things that I actually thought were very good. McGregor's Kenobi was one of them, but there are others too.
You're hitting on one of my big reservations about watching Solo. The characterization doesn't have to align precisely with Han at the beginning of ANH (because there's a time gap for character evolution), but it has to be reasonably close. If the characterizations are too inconsistent, it's gonna be tough for me to want to stick with the story.
Oh, you two crazy guys and your constant . . . rationality, reason, and logic.
I really can't wait for Episode IX opening weekend. Not just because I'm anxious to watch the movie, but because I genuinely believe it's going to surprise most people with how large of an audience will be there. If that ends up being the case, the "SW is dead" talk will stop . . . for a month or two.
