If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place
Time

Got a bad tooth. It hurt so bad last night that I barely slept at all. Called the dentist this morning and it’s coming out at 11:30. The pain is so bad, I really feel like I’m loosing my mind.
Just two more hours… God help me.
Jesus, too.

JEDIT- Since posting this, the pain has died down considerably. Maybe I should make public complaints requesting help from God and Jesus more often?

I was kinda hoping there wouldn’t be a bunch of lame Force stuff in this. Sigh.

Me too. I’d kinda like to see a character who can do small things with the Force, but doesn’t understand why since nobody’s ever taught them about it.

The Rebellion leadership would even end their briefings with “may the Force be with you.” So it would seem that it’s a belief that has a life outside of the Jedi Order alone.

I’ve always thought of that like people (religious or not) saying “God bless you”, “In God we trust”, swearing in on a bible, ect. Things that have carried over from a more religious age.

Yeah, you just get guys close enough to grab him, drop him with a well-placed shot, then the guys rush in to support him and remove the babies (so he doesn’t fall on them).

Depending on what he’s up to, I might not be too worried about the babies.
I need to know his demands and the consequences of not giving into whatever he’s demanding before I can really comment on this situation.

I don’t like Kerrnings shuttle or the U-Wing. But, both get destroyed in the film (way to spoil things, trailer) so the fact that we don’t see 'em again at least makes sense.
I don’t like the TIE Striker either. And I’ve a bigger issue with it than the other two ships. It seems like it serves the same job as the bomber, but looks like the bombers new replacement. So why not use the bomber? Is it just to have new ships in the movie? Hopefully the film will show us why we’ve not seen these things before and I also hope we find that it’s built for situations we don’t encounter in the OT. It’s got the long pod like the bomber, and that has me intrigued.

I saw it twice! Had a blast! I’ve seen it a time or two since as well. I don’t care if it’s silly (of course it it, read it’s title), it’s a ton of fun.
I’m guessing LuckyGungan read some unfavorable reviews (of which there are many and I understand why) and decided to change his score. He seems hung up on what other think vs. his own experience with a film. Of course, the fun could have worn off fast after the film was over leaving him with a changed opinion.

I’m sure he realizes why no one likes him, I just think he doesn’t care. Or alternately, he gets off on it.

Nah, he just doesn’t know what else to do.
He hasn’t the social skills to do anything other than act superior while unknowingly giving away the fact that he’s some one to feel sorry for. Like mfm said, it’s a common phase that kids go through.

I’m pretty sure you and him have similar opinions about the things that you like…

What makes you think that? Do you mean Chris or Jeremy? It’s possible either way.

EDIT:

What reviewers do you actually like? And you can’t use Ebert…

I love Half in the Bag. Entertaining, informative, honest and well thought out reviews.
I really don’t watch many reviews because I don’t watch many modern movies. I watch RedLetterMedia no matter what they’re covering though. It’s always entertaining. The other reviews I watch are mostly covering older horror and sci-fi films. For that I turn to MONSTROSITIES volg, Kaijucast, ect.
I’ve also started using letterboxd.com. It’s a great site full of reviews. Many good ones from our own Neglify and one of my own!

EDIT 2:

Can you give a description of some of his mannerisms or any distinguishing behaviors and/or accents of this guy you can’t remember?

He’s much like Jeremy. I dare say he stole Jeremy’s act.
I’ve looked, but can’t find. Maybe I was just thinking Jeremy was two different people?

By style I mean Jeremy’s constant chop and edit. He can’t go more than four words without a hard cut.
Then again, I’ve only see a few of his reviews. Maybe he don’t do that no more. I’m sure his personality is still grating though.
JEDIT- Just saw the thumbnail for his Suicide Squad review. Looks as annoying a douchey as ever. Maybe more.
But, meh. Diff’rent strokes fer diff’rent folks.
