Jedit sith while the rest of us watch the world burn movie#
That always works for me.ħ) The whole plot of the movie is that the Resistance ships were a little faster then the First Order ships under impulse power. Great pandering, DisneyĦ) When BB* runs out of fingers to fix Poe’s ship, he smashes his head into the circuit board to get it fixed.
“Not a page turner, they were”ĥ) China requires that all movies shown there “Show China and Chinese in a good light” Check and check. I was expecting a narrator to break in and tell me to turn off my cellphone.Ģ) BB8 kills about 20 guards by shooting coins at them….wowģ) The “Super Leia” scene….guess she held her breath in space (I hear that’s hard to do)Ĥ) Yoda burning down the Jedi tree of knowledge and destroying the Jedi books. Oh come on Wil, we both know that The Last Jedi sucked the big Wookie….search your feelings,you know this to be true.ġ) Stupid “I’m holding for Hux” crap at the beginning. Live long, and may The Force be with you!
Oh, and you probably already know this, but I went in costume: Live long and suck it. that didn’t really happen i just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
I didn’t expect that, and the CG was kind of incredible. It was a delightful surprise to see Captain EO in the movie.I’m going to say 3D one more time: 3D (yes, that was two more times. I don’t think it needed to be in 3D, but that could just be my deep-seated aversion to 3D. It was in 3D, which I didn’t know before we got into the theater, and I’d like to see it without having to wear smudgy glasses that were impossible to clean. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, just an observation. At almost 3 hours, it felt like the second and third parts of a trilogy that started with The Force Awakens. I loved that that message is there for anyone who wants to hear it. The themes of resistance and hope and the refusal to give up in the face of overwhelming odds felt incredibly timely, but also timeless.I can’t wait to go buy a little Porg plushie. The Porgs are adorable and fun and didn’t upset or annoy me the way literally everything in that goddamn Jar Jar movie did.The duels were some of the best lightsaber fights I’ve ever seen. I teared up several times, just because it felt so good to see them again. I loved seeing characters who were so important to me as a kid.I know there’s a type of fan out there who will be pissed about me even mentioning this (keep fucking that chicken, kiddo!) but it’s important in ways those people can’t or won’t understand, and it made me really, really happy. I loved that there are role models for girls the way there have always been for boys, and I love that there are people of color the way white dudes have always been there. I loved that there are so many strong and independent female heroes in Star Wars now.I’m not going to discuss specifics, and I hope you won’t comment on specifics, either, so people who haven’t seen it yet don’t have to worry about spoilers. You may need a second to parse that, because I did and I wrote it so go ahead. I felt like, if I were a kid today, this movie would be my Star Wars, it would the one I would still be talking about in forty years, the way the original Star Wars (that I refuse to call ‘episode whatever’) is for me today. It’s a little long, it has some humor that felt a little out of place to me, and some of the edits were a little jarring, but I am willing to overlook those flaws because it was just a really fun Star Wars experience. That area of Hollywood is just gross and crowded, like someone took the worst aspects of Times Square in the 70s and now, put them together, and concentrated them into two awful blocks.īut I digress before I even begin, because of course I do. It’s the first time I’ve been to the Chinese since Pulp Fiction or 12 Monkeys, and I feel no pressing urge to go back any time soon. We went to The Last Jedi at the Chinese theater last night.
