Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Dec 15th, 2017)

[Wor-Gar]

That milking scene made Luke a super bad ass in my book.

Was it the sploo on his mouth that got you excited or just that snatch sitting next to you?

I'm actually planning to see it again as I heard from many it gets better on the second viewing. There were some Awesome scenes in this movie
Hey! I suffered thru The Phantom Menace 3 times just to see that Darth Maul fight

I’m the super uber geek of the family and the look my family gave me during TPM in 99 is still ingrained in my mind.

They tried not to hurt my feelings but I know what a put them thru wasn’t very nice of me lol

 

[Sassafras]

Yes, but its true for every Star Wars that opens for Disney, so it should be a wash. No doubt this will still deliver huge numbers... but I suspect a surprising drop for a Star Wars movie.

Possibly. Just 'coz I feel *positivity* doesn't mean I think this movie couldn't do lower numbers. For one thing, even tho there are cute porgs and humor and that race scene and heart-tugging Dickens urchins with brooms - IMO this movie is a bit much for younger kids. The very stuff I think is interesting IMO wouldn't mean anything. There's some grim stuff even if it's not a graphic depiction of it.

I already got my tickets for next weekend sorry Wor lol.

Try your best.

Its also very long at 2 hours and 41 minutes so its losing at least one showing a day (maybe two) at every theater on the planet.

That's gonna hurt the long haul boxoffice.

That little whore had no business doing that in a SW movie full of weird men.

 

[a-dev]

I wonder who are they going to kill off in episode 9? Think Billy Dee will show up to sacrifice himself ? Both Luke and Han killed off in the same week. What are the odds?

They both died shortly after meeting Rey...Leia too will presumably die. Chewie and the droids seem to be unaffected but Lando would be a dead man.

Yeah, none of this dainty clean Obi-wan in the desert stuff (although I didn't think about it until TLJ). I laughed at that scene too. Rey's expression

Did the aroma change your feelings toward Rose... or Maz?

Nail on head and that just makes the 220 all that more impressive so it’s really even closer to TFA had it been 25 min shorter.

Of course it is, those rabid first weekend fans are the same in number so any drop-off this weekend is due to lack of showings.

But so many of those fans are pissed that the 2nd weekend will be more telling. Do they stay away, or do the return to revisit?

I'm still going with less than half total boxoffice for this movie compared with TFA. And I'm still daring this might not break the magic billion number. If it does cross it, it will be not by much.

Rose I would hate ****.

Maz I would use as a scarecrow in my yard.

I wouldn't rewatch this garbage if someone offered to pick me up, buy me a meal and take me out for drinks afterwards.

See, this is what I'm saying. The damage to this movie hasn't been done yet. It will show more this week, and much more after the 2nd weekend.

 

[jye4ever]

Don't worry guys, there is still plenty of time to ruin Lando with the Han Solo movie in 5 months.

Poor BDW went from a smooth talking afrogigalo to a big belly ganja drunk.

He’s the male Carrie Fisher.

I saw RO three times in the theater. I won't see this once (paying).

You do realize that Snikt is walking into his 2nd viewing as we speak right lol.

 

[Wor-Gar]

They still have Carrie to kill. Unless they plan on keeping her alive for every Star Wars movie to come... a kind of totem from the vengeful murder of Star Wars.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I can see him peeking through the theater doors with a tear in his eye like that Indian in the 70's pollution commercial. "What have they done?"

It's too long and I'm kinda in shock I feel that way. I love long movies and being immersed in them. I want IW to be four hours, 5, 6....

But.

I feel positive about TLJ and wanna go back; there's a lot going on. I hadn't had enough sleep. But I don't think it was ALL that when the thought crept into my head "they need to get the Russos in hear to edit this thing, because it's beginning to remind me of Lord of the Rings."

E.g., IMO the Russos have an editing gift. They keep things tight and moving along (sometimes for me a bit too tight, but that also just wanting more). Re TLJ at the end I kept getting the feeling that the screen would go black, and the credits would roll.

But it didn't. There was a scene, and another, and ANOTHER. So, OK, maybe that was fan service 'coz the director knows fans love SW. If a movie was 10 hours long they would sit there. My theater did. But to me it felt like bloat - and for me that's unusual. So I'll appreciate seeing this again and checking out if I was just tired, or what. Meanwhile, make sure the older folks or whoever is sitting at the aisle for the bathrooms and nobody gets the super-size drinks.

Funny thing is the internet wasn't really around when TPM hit. (maybe some dial up users, but not like today)


LOL Disney is gonna feel this one. They did some damage here, and it's not going to go unheard. If they think some Jar Jar backlash wasn't good for Lucas back then, i'm afraid they have no idea whats to come.

This movie sucked..HARD! And they're gonna hear it. (whether they care or not is another thing) Sit back this will be interesting over the next 6 mos.

He might have defended it but at least Lucas recognised it and virtually cut Jar Jar from the remaining two films, LFL story group/KK/Disney won't change a thing and will keep going with their idea of what Star Wars should be.

Remember they tell you what you should like, the days of choosing to like what you want went with the DCEU.
