Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - cool movie, had the potential to be the best Harry Potter franchise movie, but failed because of a confusing plot. I really liked the characters and the part of the story where they’re looking for the lost creatures in New York, and really liked the chemistry between the characters. Unfortunately I didn’t like the Obscurus part of the plot, and honestly it felt like it belonged in a completely different movie, given the huge tone discrepancy between it and the other subplots.

Edit: I liked how it portrayed the US as super conservative 😉

That, and the whole movie looked like a cartoon.

Pizza’s on the way…

I used to think the probe-droid in ESB kept saying “needing assistance”. It’s just electronic gibberish, but I still think it sounds kind if similar.

“in need of assistance” is what i still hear to this day. even though i know it isn’t that.

Thanks. Now it will be like Stairway to Heaven backwards. With that expectation in my head, it will be obvious that’s what he’s saying!

When I first saw Star Wars, I thought that Storm Troopers were ‘junior’ Darth Vaders, and figured that if they got more experienced and moved up the chain, they would be promoted to Darth Vader and get the black suit.

Whoa boy. Cool off. Nothing personal.

I do wonder why Hyperspace collisions don’t happen more often though.

Certainly not Tesla autopilot 😛

Leia was ostensibly not there yet, either. Organa says that he’ll send for someone he “trusts with his life.” Maybe she rendezvoused with him at the base and loaded up the droids before docking with Raddus. Or, the Tantive was sent to pick her up with the droids in tow.

It does feel like something was missing around this part. Yes we don’t see this rendevouz? And what i am saying is because the blockade runner was put inside Raddus ship it feels like we are missing a scene or most likely a different version played out differently.

I doubt you will see stuff like this happen in Han Solo though it seems as though from reports they reshot 80% of the film.

I didn’t say something was missing. I said there are multiple ways it could’ve played out consistent with the plots of both SW and RO! The absence of such a scene is not a problem. There is no inconsistency.

An FYI for any interested parties: Dunkirk Blu-Ray is on sale for $10 at Amazon

Why?

ZkinandBonez said:

It means taking a living crystal that has already bonded with a Jedi and forcing your will onto it, and “bleeding” it in the process, turning it red. Apparently all Sith must earn their sabers by killing a Jedi and stealing their crystal.

But nope. Red = bad & everything else = good for stupid EU reasons.

“you’ve constructed a new lightsaber. Your skills are now complete. Now join me, throw this away, and build a red one.”

Why am I reading this…

I wonder how Frink is doing with this EU talk poisoning his thread.

Cool. I’m sure that’s what George was thinking when he wrote ANH.

This was the best answer you could’ve possibly given.

I think a lot of the hyperspace complication has to do with justifying quick travel across distances of multiple light years. But for God sake, they call it light speed in the movies. I find the scientific inaccuracies charming. Star Wars isn’t PBS NOVA.

Cool. I’m sure that’s what George was thinking when he wrote ANH.

The person responsible should be forced to watch the Tim Burton remake on a loop.

That movie’s so bad, simply making him watch the opening shot of Mark Wahlberg crashing in the Apraham Simian memorial just once should be sufficient punishment.

Have the Planet of the Apes reissued boxset, whose cover art I rather like:

also, while I appreciate that they tried to evoke the original poster for the latest standalone BD issue of the original film, that they made the cage look like a human mobile for above an ape baby’s crib is most unfortunate:

If hyperspace is a fifth dimension, why would Han to worry about flying into a star are too close to a supernova?

This is why official canon is dumb. Just go by what you see on the screen.

I approve of your rating system.

I love snow so much!!

Me too! But it’s been too warm here to snow. Cold rain last couple days. Worst possible weather. A few degrees colder and it snows (good), a few warmer and it doesn’t rain (also good)…

Considering saber colors were always a production decision in the OT, I’m not going to put much thought into it. As far as Sith having red sabers that are red for any reason besides that they look badass, the OT is pretty clear that the Sith don’t use them by default; Vader only carries one (and Ren I would extrapolate) because he’s a fallen Jedi.
