Good ole Luke, hanging out with the frog nuns and guinea pig puffins and sucking on space walrus teats while watching his DVD collections.

I stopped being invested in Star Wars about the same time I stopped losing action figures in the backyard but life has me seeing these movies anyway. Kylo Ren has all the menace and threat of a damp sponge which means I have no feeling of stakes or concern throughout the films. Parts of TLJ were entertaining, parts were drawn-out and boring (casino romp) and some parts were just dumb. Certainly not the worst movie I've seen but I don't know why anyone would be excited for more of it.

What made the original trilogy great was that it was a solid action/sci-fantasy story. Basic plots but great fun. The downfall of the later movies is that they all tried to be something more and explain a lot of the backstory and lore. And that's pretty much true for most of the great action movies of the late 70's through the 80's.

Yeah, agreed. Lucas was inspired by a whole range of things - Kurosawa, Flash Gordon, westerns, etc. SW is a straightforward good and evil tale with what was then a unique and dazzling spin. Then Empire came along and just told a damn good story while putting its characters through the ringer.

JJ Abrams' inspiration for TFA was... the original SW trilogy. Lucas may have gone mad during the prequels with things like Jar Jar and midichlorians, but those movies at least feel like a separate set of films with a different vision albeit tied to the OT as a backstory.

JJ is a better producer than director. The closest thing to being a trademark of his work is lens flares. TFA is an entertaining movie with great characters, but I cooled off on it after subsequent viewings. Then TLJ came along and shat on everything.

As for the MCU, while those movies are well-made and entertaining I find them utterly forgettable. They have a good thing going and have benefited from having Feige as the overlord. However, MCU movies are like live action adaptations of cartoons, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but nothing sticks with me personally. Watch, enjoy, forget until the next episode.

I'll mention RoboCop again. It's a sci-fi action movie that tackles all sorts of topics such as mass media influence, business corruption, corporatization of police, urban decay, and so on. It has heart and emotion but also deftly incorporates dark humor and satire, most importantly NOT at the expense of the drama or social commentary (complementary to those, in fact). All of this in 100 minutes. RoboCop is a perfect, timeless movie.

Nobody will ever say any such thing about Thor 2, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man 2, etc. Sadly the new SW trilogy could end up being one giant missed opportunity and not having any kind of staying power. Maybe the other trilogy in development by the Game of Thrones producers will inject some life into SW. Or it'll be about the great grandfather of Greedo, who crosses paths with the great grandfather of Boba Fett.

Wat

Luke has always been a whiny little bitch, at least for all of 4, 5, and part of 6, its in his nature, just like his father who was a whiny little bitch through all of 1,2,3. It seems completely in character for him to be a grumpy ass when he got older as thats just the extension of being a whiny bitch younger in life

That and also going by existing movies and games Jedi seem to have a tenancy toward grumpy isolationism if they don't die (relatively) young.

I liked much of TLJ, and I really liked its Luke. Especially when compared to the Luke of the EU novels and comics.

 
i thought both the new sw movies were reasonably entertaining, but then again i'm more "filthy casual" than unabashed devotee.

i do kind of feel bad for the film makers because no matter what they did there was going to be a vocal minority shitting all over the movies

"Like"? They are live-action adaptations of cartoons.

He still has Syntax McConnell to do his bidding.

Wait.

 
I maintain that TLJ would have been better if Rey and Kylo had teamed up or at least switched allegiances. As much as you bitch about them playing it safe in the newest one, they played it safe in TLJ too.

Luke being a grumpy old hermit didn't bother me, it was how he handled the whole Ben situation (in the past) that seemed completely out of character and disappointing.  

 
HitlerCat needs to go to his spnkainig caeg for tricking us into buying from groupees. Luckily I managed to get Earthworm Jim through a trade so my precious 50 cents wasn't wasted

I inspired you to look for a trade. See, I know deals! So much winning!

Plus, if they sell 80 more bundles, everyone will also get the bonus Inclement

Since I missed yesterday's convo:  TLJ wasn't great.  But it wasn't bad because I'm some white dude-loving Rey-hating anti-colored blah blah (and the fact that people stereotype anyone who didn't care for it that way are aggravating).  

It was the FIRST movie (besides Solo) that I haven't watched more than once.  I rewatched it this weekend because I thought I was missing something.  I didn't make it 20 minutes without looking at my watch.  Even the socio-political debates on the legality of trade wars that Ep I was didn't make me look at my watch like that.

IX better be good.. or the Star Wars shelf is forever shelved.  They should never have "continued" the story.  They should have written all new adventures.  I'd be far less butt hurt about the ordeal if Super-Leia or Han or Luke didn't act contrary to... I dunno... all the other movies they were in.  Yea, they grew.  Disenchanted Luke very much reflects my outlook as I've gotten older.  But dammit.... for real.  The whole gambling world, the stupid ship, killing off Snoke like he was less than Phasma.

 
Wow, last night I was going to say that all you had to do to finish was call someone who doesn't agree with you a "Trump supporter".  But I didn't post it.   Then you decided to go there all on your own lol :applause:  bravo

I am a firm believer in the "they have pics of him peeing on Weiler's mom" story.

What story are they continuing? I'm sort of at a loss... I actually thought the force awakens was okay, I mean the plot was completely recycled after you sat and thought about it for a minute. But at least Han wasn't completely out of character, and I actually like Rey, Poe and Finn in the first movie. Kylo Ren was a douche and will always be a douche.

Unfortunately, you're always kind of screwed when you bring back the original characters. You can't really make them shine like they did in the original trilogy, otherwise they out shine the new characters. So they pretty much have to sit around going duuurr, they get their moment of cool and then they get killed off by a giant piano falling on them
 
Speaking of NHL, these playoffs have been goddamn amazing so far. I stayed up last night (I'm EST) to watch Vegas vs. SJ and it was just a good fun game and I have zero rooting interest in either of these teams (Wings fan, Pens HATER). I having been wanting to catch some NBA but I just keep gravitating towards NHL instead.

NBA playoffs just don't command that sort of attention... Its the closest sport to pro wrestling... 90% is predetermined/predictable and most of the games aren't even close. The NHL, on the other hand, will have far more drama as the games are close and, really, any team can go on a run and win it all.

Surprisingly, I watched more 1st rd NBA playoffs this weekend than perhaps the last 5 yrs combined. I was quite entertained by Raptors v Magic game 1. Still though, it's too many teams in it for me to *really* care.

 
Lots of great moments in the season opener. btw it has been a looooong time since I actively watched a weekly series while it's still in its initial run. I forgot how painful it is to have to wait a whole week for the next episode. What am I supposed to do in the meantime? Spend time with my family???

They say waiting a week between episodes of a TV show gives you cancer!

I'm waiting for the end of this final season and then I'll finally watch an episode of GOT, so I don't get non-binge watching cancer.

 
Game of Thrones is the sort of show I should love but I binge-watched the first season a few years ago with the intention of catching up and watching it and wasn't thrilled when they killed one of the best characters at the end of the season.  Then I did a bit of reading before watching more, realized almost everybody I liked was going to die and moved on.  Too depressing.

On a side note, I said years ago that Tiger would never win another Masters and even if this is his last hurrah, it was surprising enough to me (along with one day being the lowest scoring in history) that I call that the sports event of the weekend.
