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

 
I figured that spoilers would start popping up soon, so I thought I’d have a thread ready for them when they started coming. They won’t be from filming, obviously, but they’ve got to be doing some sort of work at this point.

I might be a little premature on this, but I can’t help but want to have all three spoiler threads started by the same person. 😉
 

As a courtesy to fellow members, when linking to youtube videos or articles etc, please give both the title and source to which you are linking to - thank you.

Guardians of the Galaxy

You know a movie is good when you want to see it again less than five minutes into it. It suffered from Star Trek alien syndrome, but that didn't detract from the movie at all.

Jupiter Ascending

This was a good one too, though I can't say I enjoyed it as much as GotG.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

I think this was my favourite, or maybe second favourite, of the Avenger's movies. I've yet to see the latest Thor movie and Age of Ultron, though.

Not being used to seeing many recent movies at once, I was amazed at how far CGI has come. Water still needs a little work, but for the most part, I can't tell what's CGI and what isn't.

 Thanks for blowing it! I almost had everyone fooled!

I didn't expect to be so busy after coming "home." Our house is in far worse condition than I had realized, so I've been mostly sleeping at my grandparents' place and going to my house to help clean up.

I'm not really sure when I'll be back for real.

The Battle of the Five Armies

I had an opportunity to see it, finally. I enjoyed it quite a bit, though not as much as the last one. The black arrow-shooting thing was a lot less goofy than people made it sound, and the early death of Smaug didn't bother me at all...those who complain about it must not have read the book. The dragon sickness also didn't bother me much, as it was an element in the book, if not nearly as prominent in the story.

Who'd like to try a chess variant? Now playing Xiang Qi, a.k.a. Chinese chess

Mk-8B

I guess you're going to win. I assume you'll move G-C, then G-12B, and there's nothing I can do to prevent it.

Why does this game remind me of Tic-Tac-Toe? ;)

So, should we play again, this time interacting with each other's pieces a bit more, or should we move on to the next set of rules?
