Mary Poppins

I hadn’t seen it since I was a kid, and I feel like that’s still true. One of the greats.

As a side note, the Blu-Ray is uncharacteristically superb for Disney. Presented with lovely film grain, matte lines, and other compositing “warts” all intact.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri

Pretty good. Would watch again.

The Worst Scene/Sequence in Any Star Wars Film
Time

TPM: Jar Jar stepping on poop
AOTC: The head swap
ROTS: Anakin murdering younglings
Solo: L3’s introduction
R1: Ponda Baba cameo
ANH: Leia’s British accent
ESB: The incestuous kiss
ROTJ: “Somehow I’ve always known”
TFA: Revealing Kylo Ren’s parentage too early
TLJ: Maz cameo

any, not every. Which one takes the cake?

Episode VIII : The Last Jedi - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *

Has anyone else had a near 180 switch on their opinions of this movie? For about the first 9 months after TLJ came out I hated everything about it and thought it was the worst Star Wars movie since AotC. But, after re-watching the it and coming to appreciate the themes more than the action, my opinions softened a good deal.
I still have issues with the pacing and comedy, but I really like the direction with Luke and how he wasn’t just a fanservicey power fantasy that overshadowed everyone and saved the day singlehandedly. I think it’s a pretty decent Star Wars film, and it greatly annoys me how every comments section of any video relating to the ST inevitability has a million dweebs repeating the same nitpicky shallow complaints and whining about how Disney ruined Star Wars.

I loved it coming from the theater though I didn’t think it was perfect. Interestingly, I’d say my main criticisms of the movie are the same as yours–mainly slightly too much (and too dumb) comedy and some pacing problems around the casino sequence. We just came to those conclusions at different times.

Only the PT they grew up with isn’t quite the same one they’ve got now.

They probably have no idea.

All the more reason to include the theatrical prequels as well. It would be a fair, balanced, and straightforward approach if they simply included the original and final versions of I-VI.

But what if I want to watch a pan and scan version of ROTJ with Hayden but without Vader’s noooooooo. That’s the version I grew up with!
