    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I just don't understand these people. How do they not realize that statements like that just provide nourishment to the frenzied dorks who see SJWs in their bowls of breakfast cereal each morning? Edit: Shit, I fell for the stupid clickbait title and comment by Blakkheim. I'm an idiot. His...

    Sure. Maybe I'll even do it again, in edited form this time.

    It sure is heartwarming to see this being played out over the last several pages right here.

    Black Panther (2018)

    All of the nonsense swirling around this movie from all sides brings into depressing focus everything that I can't stand about modern humanity. This planet is stupid.

    Venom (2018)

    I didn't expect Venom to be shown in the first teaser, but I also didn't expect it to be completely uninteresting. That was about as generic a series of trailer shots as could be strung together.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    That's just saying that the players that have been questionable are all in. The Eagles are still missing several key players that were hit with season-enders months ago. It's pretty remarkable that they still have a reasonable chance of winning the Superbowl.

    Misunderstood pro football player donates an Xbox to a cancer ward

    You manage an upper echelon sales force of 50 people and only make $100k? Do you sell circa 1998 Vikings memorabilia?

    Misunderstood pro football player donates an Xbox to a cancer ward

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I rewatched Rogue One recently and really enjoyed it. It's not without its flaws, and it's frustrating just how much better it could have been with a few relatively moderate tweaks, but as a "side" Star Wars story it's still pretty great. I definitely prefer it to 7 and 8.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Reaching into my prequel memory banks isn't easy, but doesn't Yoda smuggly call him Darth Sidious to his face before their CG battle fest? Also, Disney is a public company. If they set expectations at $10 billion in profits and deliver $9.999 billion, almighty Wall Street will still punish them.

    Yes, you're wrong. They jumped to hyperspace in between.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Oh, shut the fuck up. The score for TFA was too tame, and probably ths most low key of his Star Wars efforts, but it was by no means bad. TLJ's score was great. It may be the single best part of the film. Disconnect your nerd ragings for a few minutes and give it a fair listen. I went through...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I certainly seem to have enjoyed this more than the majority here, but in looking back it's pretty clear that repeat viewings will not do this movie any favors. I thought the direction they took Luke was mostly fine. It was one of the few subversive elements that worked well for me. Whether...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    In all seriousness, I really like Adam Driver in these. If only he could be swapped in for Anakin in the prequels I might not have to go into a meditative state before I watch the OT to ensure I don't accidentaly picture Hayden in the Vader suit.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I finally watched it. I went in with pretty much zero expectations after reading the onslaught of dramatically different reactions. Despite some prequel level flaws, I enjoyed the hell out of it. It should have been at least 45 minutes shorter, Laura Dern's character could have been 100x better...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    The only reason I'm wary to see it is that it'll spoil the mystery. I'm finding the aggressively devisive reactions fascinating. I don't think I've ever seen such an even mixture of "It's fucking awesome/It's meh/It's rancid shit" before, even among people who are normally in agreement with each...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    As far as I'm concerned, Star Wars began in 1977 and ended in 1983. The rest is just expensive EU.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I almost don't want to watch this now, and not just because of the negative reactions. The titanic shift from seemingly endless glowing reviews to seemingly endless terrible ones is just fascinating to witness. It has to be a first for a movie like this. Even two buddies of mine who are both...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Shit movies have been made for as long as there have been movies, and shit movies will be made for as long as there will be movies. Now that Disney owns the property, there's going to be a fucking avalanche of Star Wars films throughout the rest of each of our lives and long after we're dead...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I never finished that trilogy. I tried multiple times back in the 90s. I must have read Heir 3-4 times and then always stalled out somewhere in the second book.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Yeah, I'm not buying that as the overriding reason. I know some people get off on peering for SJWs, studio shills and MSM hacks hiding under every facet of our culture these days, but that shit gets overblown way too frequently. I'll count it as a contributing factor, but I wonder how much of...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I don't think I've seen such a disconnect between critics and general audience reactions before. It seemed like there was a strong wave of positivity the other day, now that the Euros got to see it...ouch. What gives? Failing metacritic? Fake news? SAD??

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Lots of reviews are out now. So far they've been extremely positive with a recurring theme that this movie is incredibly unique in the franchise, ties up a surprising amount of loose ends, and while it pays homage to Empire in many ways, it's nowhere near as reminiscent of it as TFA was of ANH...

    Not to mention his awkward sexual encounter with a young Tusken Raider. The god damn sand got everywhere.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yes, as fantastic as the game is overall, the almost total lack of traditional Zelda dungeons is a big miss for me. Sure, working out how to spin around some giant robot elephant's ass so that its anus lines up with some magical doodad is cool and all, but the enemy encounters in the...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    Is this $20 yet? I just want to play through the single player missions, blow up some spaceships, attempt 1 multiplayer map where I get demolished by gangs of dipshit 11 year-olds, and then never touch it again.

    Well I'm all sobered up now so this shit is boring again, but A) I'll never play Doom on the Switch so my interest in that video is something less than 0, and B) like I've said several times now, I've played hours of Zelda both handheld and docked and the overall winner is completely clear...
