Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[Darren Dirt]

So it's already December, and in anticipation of Episode VII coming out soon, sharing this in case you guys did not yet stumble upon it.


Wisecrack, back in early May of this year (on the 2nd or 3rd or something, can't imagine why that particular date) did a couple of "Earthling Cinema" episodes for...

Episode IV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VZ92zM6a5E
Episode V: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejAUKZRTOc8

Some really witty bits in there, as usual. Including a painful pun about a Canadian-invented board game.

Not sure why they didn't do Jedi though? Blasphemy.

They open the "next movie" review to a vote and I'm sure we'll get it eventually.

It's such a tight show, worth checking out all of them if you have the time

(I'm the one who introduces this form of intense mental drug to you guys IIRC!)

I think they were planning on doing all 3 in time for "May the 4th" but it ended up not quite getting done (or maybe not started? Since never posted.) So I doubt we will ever see it.

Unless it's currently in a secret vault and gonna be "Awakened" the week of December 18th...

Believe me between YouTube I'm already subscribed to and livestreams I'm surprised I have time for TV anymore

We need to add about 8 hours to the day

J.J. Abrams is the epitome of a mediocre director

Funny how women get dumped on when they're action heroes

1 Star Ratings???

The female Stormtrooper Captain was ridiculous


Discuss Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) on the IMDb message boards ?




...so not the flawless gemerald the initial reviews seemed to imply...

^ if you are curious. I am "sure" it is spoiler-free...

[Mr. Analog]

I don't know what to think, which is why I'm going to the theatre sometime soon-ish, when I see reviews peppered with terms like "fan service" and "nostalgia" I get a little worried

Then again there is some interesting symmetry, Star Wars in 1977 was a callback to classic adventure serials in the 40s-50s (y'know stuff that was made 20-40 years prior) and Star Wars VII is a callback to ... actual Star Wars (made 20-40 years prior)

So... even if Jar Jar Abrams is making a movie by aping what was done before it's almost the same thing that Gungan Lucas was doing in the mid-70s

Actually it kind of blows my mind that Star Wars 7 is almost as distant to Star Wars as Star Wars was to Flash Gordon... I feel old

I'm in a theatre now about to watch. If you guys want I can provide my own spoiler free review.
