I’m the opposite really. The ewoks are mostly okay by me, maybe just should have had some trims done in the cutting room. For me jabbas palace is the stinker in Jedi. Not Jabba himself, but all the Muppets he’s surrounded by and the excessive camp and cheese of many segments. (Fucking hate the thermal detonator sequence. If I ever get around to finishing my edit of rotj I’m removing it entirely and just having it inferred Leah and chewie are already there. ) marks performance in Jedi is great enough to not want to dismiss the film entirely though.

Also, I think it’s pretty clear DE is on the same page as you there.

I don’t. He was one of two instigators which prompted my post.

Are you referring to this?

I don’t know, I’d probably rather watch Home Alone 2 than TFA.

Is your taste in film that poor?

If so, I’d like to make it clear that I didn’t know MFM was being serious with that statement; I thought he was making fun of me. So I figured I’d indirectly insult myself – resort to self-deprecating humour in a roundabout manner – as a way of showing there were no hard feelings.

And if one of the two was me I clearly said it was a joke so if you still found it condescending then that’s your problem.

  • Labyrinth (1986) – 9/10
  • A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) – 8/10
  • Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015) – 6/10
  • Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) – 8/10
  • Home Alone (1990) – 7/10
  • Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) – 6.5/10
    Okay

Eh I would swap the score for Misery with Raiders and I’m not a big John Hughes fan, but you know I think this is mostly fair.

I watched Slaughterhouse-Five, it’s a cool concept with plenty of interesting ideas despite a few overly comedic bits. There are comparisons with a recent release that is also good but saying more gives away too much. Another one for the list of great pre-Star Wars 70s scifi flicks.

I only quoted the films I found the scores to be strange on. Whether you liked TFA or not, rating it lower than home alone 2 is crazy

FWIW, I think the non-Starkiller parts of TFA are worthy of a 8/10. But I really, really don’t like the Starkiller Base; I can’t forgive the movie for that so I give it a 7/10.

Fixed.

And before all the people who claim we bully people who didn’t like TFA I’m joking.

I’ll be seeing Beauty and the Beast tomorrow night and will leave a review here. Not crazy interested but the animated feature is quite charming so I’m mildly excited. I’m probably one of the only people on earth who wasn’t a huge fan of the live action Jungle book.

I’ve seen Beauty and the Beast live action and it was enjoyable to an extent but not as good as the original. I enjoy musicals if they are done well. The problem with this movie was that none of the actors are good singers. That’s a huge problem for a musical.

Exact opposite as you though, I haven’t seen the Jungle Book remake yet, but I actually want to because I heard they did an entirely different interpretation from the original.

I don’t know much about it, but if it’s based on the book rather than the first Disney movie I’m in. The book was much darker

Well from what I understand all the footage was filmed by a foreign (Japanese I think?) Company that went bankrupt and all the footage was bought by the American company and through narration retconned and edited into a movie. I believe the official story is that it’s the sane dog and cat filmed from birth over three years, but some people are claiming that they killed as many as 20 kittens filming some sections. I don’t want to believe it but I do have to admit watching the movie now there are definitely some questionable moments…
