I think it’s about time someone reminded us of the forum rules before a moderator does.
As for something new to moan about has anyone mentioned how odd the crawl looked?
To me it seemed more yellow than usual and the stars were much brighter or was that just because it wasn’t some crappy blu-ray transfer? 😄
I thought the crawl looked a little different in the 3D presentation and normal in 2D.

Were you trying to write in crawl font?

LOL. I don’t know why my computer keeps switching fonts.
Tfa is shit…Get over it! It’s an uninspired, unoriginal, poorly constructed and conceived film, poor narrative, weak characters based loosely on an already successful film. It’s a remake/rehash/ poor homage… To cater for one thing and that is to make cash from selling more crap.
Any further irrelevant image only replies/posts will be deleted without warning. This isn’t some damned chan board.
Where were you in '77?
^I’m seeing double there. Four Krusty’s!
I don’t understand how anyone can think it is a shit film no matter the reasoning. Not liking it is something completely different and I’m fine with that.
It’s no different than the PT but in reverse. It’s fine to like them, I just don’t get how anyone can think they’re good films.
I feel ten more pages of subjective vs objctive and film theory lectures coming on…
What I cannot get is your obsessed behaviour and attachment to this film. Other people’s opinions must really hurt you. A sane person would certainly not care that much, or would at least give up by now.

Ceci n’est pas une signature.
some mediocre (at best) movie.
I think there should be some sort of license people on the internet need to study for before they are authorised to use the phrase “At best”.
e.g. A film with a 90-93% score on RT from hundreds of thousands of people could be validly described as “Popular at best”, or “Crowd-pleasing at best” without fear of succumbing to hyperbole.
Perhaps “Some mediocre (IMO) movie.” would have worked better?
VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.
Can’t we all just get a 30.48 centimetre long?

Nice one. I hate those irrelevant images and I will refrain from reacting to them in future.

I don’t think you should take RT too seriously, anyway. Let me explain you why.
As I said, I don’t think TFA is a bad movie. More than 90%, though? Maybe 60%-80% would’ve been more correct. Considering half of RT’s Top Critics work one way or another for “the cartel” (the Motion Picture Association of America), including RT (which belongs to Warner Bros.), I think it’s pretty obvious how it got more than 90%. Specifically, RT allowed for TFA something which is instead unheard-of for indipendent movies: on top of the usual Top Critics, they carefully decided to include specific other reviews they knew would’ve boosted TFA’s score, but not so much that it would’ve got a full 100% (after it initially got 98%, in fact, rotten reviews have recently been added usually every 9-10 fresh reviews to tone its score down a bit, look by yourself). Think of how indipendent movies like Survivor, definitely on par with most AAA action-packed thrillers, (rightfully) got a 7% instead of the usual 80% like its bigger brothers produced by the cartel.
RT is completely unreliable, to me.

Baby Geniuses is a shit film.
Yeah and that’s the thing. A bad film is like a 4 and below. Batman and Robin is a shit film, Garbage Pail Kids is a shit film, Avatar The Last Airbender is a really shitty film.
And even if every criticism of TFA was valid it would still be better than those other films by leaps and bounds.

It still has an 8.5 on imdb which seems more sensible to a guy like me who only rated a film an 8.3

In my 70mm viewings the stars were definitely blue. in the 3d imax I think less so, but I don’t really remember

Well I never!
Wait.

Prior to this, it had been quite some time since I’d seen a Star Wars film in the theater (or at all really), so I don’t have a thought on the tone of yellow in the crawl. Seemed fine to me.
I did think the stars looked a bit more intense than I’d remembered, but again, no frame of reference. I thought they looked great. If there was any more than normal twinkling, I figured it was just my contacts needing to be changed. By the third viewing, I had changed them and I can’t say for sure anything was different. That sort of minutia isn’t anything to which I give any thought. I’m there for the adventure.
I’d touch Poe with my barge pole.
Bit of a man-crush myself. Truth be told, if I were that rugged and good looking, I’d be the mayor. That’s power you can’t buy. 😉
To the one who said the editing in TFA was terrible… it’s just been nominated for an Academy Award.
I could do a better job voting, editing, and catering.
While reading about TFA’s nomination, I found this. It seems like TFA is in a way “more equal than other” movies 😄

If it wins then there is something very wrong.
Annie Hall will win again 😄

Not that those awards have any value to me. Just an average opinion from a small group of people.
真実
Yeah, but nothing has any value to you unless it comes from you.

Huh. I mean, I guess my only criticism was that all the shots were too short. In terms of scene-to-scene transitions, I didn’t think it was too bad at all.
I’m just here because I’m driving tonight.
Ye Olde token nominations for a big popular movie so the Oscars don’t come off as snooty. BB-8 will probably be pressed into service delivering an envelope during the ceremony.
Where were you in '77?
