STAR WARS EPISODE 7: THE SPOILERS AWAKEN

[Quality Start Machine]

Did anyone else notice that the end with Luke and his robes and rocky cliff looked like a Led Zeppelin poster? I thought that was pretty awesome.

It was most tranquil.

Okay, time for you all to take a cold shower again.

What you should definitely do is keep posting in here, though. This bit gets funnier every time, Dubbs.

Oh, relax.  I've joined in, too: I'm just pulling your legs when it all gets a bit earnest.

I actually thought "is that the Giant's Causeway?"

Go back to Belgium, Ozzie.

So has anyone else pointed out how dope it was when Kylo Ren held that blaster bolt in midair for several minutes?

That was actually the moment I went "yep okay this is going to be a good one." Everything else was solid to that point but right there was I like "oh shit, this is Star Wars"

It was something never actually shown before that totally felt like a Star Wars moment and I actually said "OH, DIP" really loudly when I saw it.

Dick In Play?

Demi, gross, DIP.

It's amazing what happens when you make the focal point a bunch of charismatic actors and let them actually do their acting thing, instead of making everyone a slave to your dumbass CGI green screen effects that are bound to age poorly anyway.

I had a twitter rant about this but basically:

The first half, where he fires back at Prequel Apologists, is great.

His actual criticisms of TFA are pretty...off, though. He didn't seem to want to harp on the "it's A New Hope remake!" part too much, and I'm glad. His comparison of this to the 2009 Star Trek was apt. If they don't do something new and exciting in Episode VIII, VII will not be remembered as fondly.

After that, though, saying "did we really need all of this diversity, kids never cared before about this shit, only adults care about diversity in characters" is patent bullshit and a really white guy way of thinking about things. You didn't care because you were a white guy and every character was someone you could relate to. Plenty of minorities and women have said this movie was what they wanted as a kid because they got tired of being told on the playground that they had to be Leia or Lando, end of story. It was a weird bone to pick and it makes him look like an asshole.

Also saying that there needed to be sex was weird. There's arguably more flirting and more of a romantic build up between Rey and Finn in this movie than there was between either Luke and Leia or Han and Leia in A New Hope. Judging it against an entire trilogy's romantic arc is weird. Also, I don't agree at all that she has to end up with Finn or whatever for the movies to be good or relatable. Luke never really had a romantic arc in the OT after some comments about Leia in ANH and nobody ever cared, Rey can do the same.

Yes, but why is that in a 1:45:00 long TFA review?

And, it wasn't very funny. The RLM stuff is usually very amusing. This was very meh.
