The poster is for marketing purposes. It doesn’t display the actual title. What’s in the movie is the title, which is: Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens. It goes the same for every other episode since 1980 (TESB has no number on posters but its title is Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back).

I still don’t get why people don’t want it to be part VII (well, I don’t want either it to be part VII but it is…).

Even in 1980, Episode V was in the title? I’m aware that it’s in the crawl, of course, but I didn’t think that was “officially” part of the title until around 2004 when numbers were slapped on everything.

The episode number is only there in the crawl for continuity. The poster makes no mention of Episode VII so I don’t consider it part of the official title. I don’t know what actually makes it the “official” title, but that’s what makes sense to me.

I’ve so far only watched the Theatrical Cut. It’s good, but I feel like the other cuts are probably much better. I didn’t mind the narration. It wasn’t good but I didn’t cringe or anything. The “happy ending” of the TC, however, is garbage.

I’ve got some money stored up on old gift cards and I might use it on the 3 disc set of all the versions. Still debating this.

Now, I may be but a simple noob (joined Dec. 2015, lurking since a few months before that), but I don’t think Frink has done anything wrong. Even when I’m the one recieving his sarcastic comments, I usually laugh and don’t think much of it. I really don’t get the recent vendetta against him that so many seem to suddenly have.

He wasn’t even saying what he didn’t like about TFA, he was stating his complaint about the BTS doc.

Goosebumps
Enjoyement: 7/10
As a film: 5/10

The ending was stupid (caused confusion, pretty much created a plot hole), some of the humour was pretty bad and the CGI was straight out of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I still recommend checking it out, especially those who liked the books as kids.

I remember how much everyone adored those books in elementary school. Then I finally picked one up and just couldn’t stand it. It was awful. So when I saw the trailer for this, my eyes rolled out of my head.

The TV show was so cheesy and awful that I kinda enjoyed it, but I avoided the books at all costs.

Also, midichlorians, the single worst concept in the entire PT.

…
Midichlorians were introduced in 1978 as part of the guidelines for EU novel authors.

There’s a reason that those authors never used them… (hint: it’s because they’re dumb).

But what if vaccines are population control? Not in that they kill people, but vaccines do work. Then, “they” plant lies on the internet saying that vaccines don’t work so that the gullible won’t get vaccinated and die out.

That’s just crazy talk.

Well, they had Iron Man, The First Avenger, The Avengers, Winter Soldier and Guardians. 5 out of 12 equals not many good films.

FTFY

Their films are meh at worst. I can forgive the boring Thor movies and dumb Iron Man sequels because of the Captain America movies alone, which are fantastic. Plus: the Netflix corner of the MCU exists! Which has produced nothing but incredible content so far.

BB-8 wasn’t given any kind of slightly gendered persona, come to think of it. BB-8 was basically… a metal puppy?

I never understood the relationship between Anakin and Padmay, but whatever.

Especially horrendous since it’s gonna be on that godawful “freeform” channel

What is happening on this site today? Why does the sockpuppet disgrace-to-the-name-of-a-perfectly-good-video-game hate Frink so much?

We need to make a preservation thread for moviefreakedmind’s Clones VHS immediately.

Basically most complaints I’ve heard about this trailer:

'Who’s the lead? She got a vagina? Can I see it? No? 0/10 Worst Movie Ever, Disney screws everything up!!’

Dr No: B-

It dragged a lot in the second act, most characters are underdeveloped, and the story is pretty poor, but overall the good outweighed the bad.

Madness.

You lost me at “story is pretty poor”

Dr. No gets an A from me

There is a Star Trek thread for this kind of thing “All Things Star Trek”. Just scroll a bit. 🖖

Surely there is some level where they objectively succeeded, or else it wouldn’t have as many fans as it does. I, however, do not have the patience to rewatch any of them to find that level.

I mean, I tried watching AOTC a while back because I thought it would bore me to sleep and I was having trouble sleeping. Instead, it kept me awake as I kept yelling at the TV because of how horrid everything was.

I got The Force Awakens in the mail and quickly grabbed the scissors to open the box, but I cut too far and cut a line out of the slipcover 😤

By modern standards, it is incredibly natural. There are shots that I feel are too blue or teal, (final duel and some others), but compared to most modern blockbusters, it is amazing.
