    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    apparently, there's some oscillation going on in a lightsaber that pretty drastically affects aim. i feel like i read that in wookiepedia so it's totally true. also, when i said concentration, i was referring to the force. although, having been in several fights with melee weapons, yeah, you...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    from a technical standpoint, the fights looked like that because the sabers that the actors used were heavy. a few times you see vader using one hand, but that's because the actor was physically stronger than mark hamill and he was able to pull it off. Whether it was to cover that up or not...

    well, also part of it is that we aren't following the perspective of the average group of people. we are following the perspective of the top heroes and villains of their time. luke isn't just some low skilled jedi wannabe. even before he was trained he was subtly leaning on the force by killing...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    After some digging, in not sure what I was thinking. Maybe I just assumed Revan was mentioned by darth bane in the last episode since he created the rule of two after finding Revan's holocron. But there's no mention of revan in any canon

    Honestly, I don't remember. I thought it was just a name drop, though, not a big part of the episode.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Well. It's semi canon. Revan was mentioned in the clone wars, and that's still canon. So is assume that is canon that he existed and had a large enough impact to be mentioned, same with exar kun and most of the big name sith

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    This may or may not be related to the credit by role question, but the mpaa or whatever it was went BALASTIC when Lucas didn't put the credits before the movie in star wars. He thought it took away from the ambiance to have the credits on screen at the beginning while the movie is setting up...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yeah, I didn't see the movies in the theatres, but I was old enough to be upset when I saw the special editions released in theatre. I knew darth was his title, I didn't quite understand the chain of command, but I knew that Vader was evil, not stupid. Kill off a stormtrooper and no one blinks...

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    I think it was inferred that he's getting involved because of AoU, but I think the reality is that it was unconnected and he just wants his gems now. Or maybe that he knows where the gems are some how and knows that the avengers keep getting involved with them. I mean at this point his only...

    Pretty sure doomsday has been confirmed for a while now. I remember reading an article that quoted the writer talking about wonder woman fighting doomsday. No one flipped out so I assumed it was common knowledge?

    did you guys know that some people refer to people of position by a generic title separate from their ACTUAL title? it's totally weird, i know. but i was downtown the other day and someone came up to Officer Jackson and called him, "sir." I was like, OFFICER IS NOT HIS FIRST NAME YOU MORAN

    yeah, i could be totally wrong as i don't know anything about her outside of the expendables and the one or two quick ufc matches i've seen (and that she likes rasslin), but i get the impression that she'd be a cool chick to hang out with. the problem is that you don't want the cool chick that...

    there have been plenty of great actors who's first movie has been with a great director and still had a flat performance. that happens all the time. and it happens all the time because of a hundred different reasons. listen, i'm not trying to say that Carano is an amazing actress. she's not...

    did you see hercules in new york? that wasn't charisma. don't get me wrong, i love arnold. he's proven time and time again that he created the gold standard for screen presence. but it was something that he developed AFTER he started making movies.

    say what you want about Carano's lack of acting ability, her action scenes in Haywire were legit. she knows how to move around in a fight scene in a believable way. Even when she was paired up with someone like michael fassbender, who isn't known for his fighting ability, she makes up for it...

    We can help j49 all we want with all the sound advice we can muster, but it won't do any good. He doesn't want his wife to be his primary avenue for sex. He wants her as a backup plan that falls through so it reinforces and justifies his choice in cheating.

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    Historically, the horsemen have been willing. But wherever the story calls for a known character to become a horseman, they are manipulated/controlled. I think sentry admitted to being a willing horseman? But I don't know the backstory on that.

    Any advice on getting a new car? The wife and I are down to one vehicle and its not cutting it anymore. Its not an immediate need, but it may be in the upcoming months. We leased a car a few years ago and that went well, but outside of that, I have no real experience in buying a car. We have a...

    yes, and it still forced the studio to abandon the planned sequal. it did something like $290 million at the box office... do we think that this new one is going to reach that much? the studio is ONLY going to hold on to ANY IP for as long as they believe it can make money. sure, the budget on...

    Fantastic Four

    Eh... It was intended to make money plain and simple. They aren't going to run a mainstream movie into the ground just to hold onto the rights. Fantastic four 2 bombed so bad they scrapped the sequal and had to wait a decade for the heat to die off enough to get ANY traction.

    Ant Man. July 2015

    yeah, i would say that all (or most) of batman's villians were created simply in contrast to a guy dressed as a bat. which, is SORT of the same thing, but not really. originally, batman's villians were just common street thugs, but that got boring. So they created villians that matched his...
