If the movie/plot is good, IDGAF if the main character is female or the ethnicity of supporting casts or if Lando likes wild orgies where maybe a guy slips in


Problem w TLJ is that Rian Johnson did a shite job directing. He spent more screen time on the 10+ B plots and undoing TFA plot points than actually focusing on the main plot.

OML is a miserable frick, but it doesn’t mean he’s wrong in this instance.

Well, at least I gave the main thread 24 hours without him.

I get it it’s Disney but they were pumping it.

I think the person was talking about SJW complaining it didn’t go far enough. Not OML’s own stance.

Useless antedoctal evidence follows:

In a nicer theater in the FW area that I frequent we are 9 minutes to show time.


I’m the only person there.

I’m interested to see how many theaters this movie drops and how fast.

"The people have spoken! No more white male led star wars movies!"

Get ready for a variation of this headline by a bunch of woke pop culture writers soon.

That's because nothing could ever make those miserable bitches happy. No matter how much you give it's never enough. Some people enjoy and are only happy when they're miserable...sounds crazy but it's true.

I Took my son to a 6:15 pm Friday night showing at sugar land AMC. 10 people in the theater at 6:15. Probably 35 people when we walked out after the end. Star wars has squandered the benefit of the doubt and barring a miracle by JJ Abrams its done.

It isn't very good and I hope it tanks. Its the only way Disney will get it through their thick skulls to stop putting forth a crappy product.


Disney doesn't care. They'll keep pumping them out.

Yep, and from now on they will release them at Christmas like they should have done with this one.

Theaters around me were sold out all weekend.

Probably has more to do with the fact that I live in a beach area that supports vacationers from DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia who all came to town for the holiday weekend and it rained all weekend. Hell, even Life of the Party was sold out all weekend.

If you had told me a couple years ago that I'd spend a rainy Memorial Day choosing to see Deadpool 2 over a Star Wars movie, I would have laughed in your stupid face....but that's exactly what happened.

At this point I've separated the original trilogy from anything else that comes out.

It's given me peace of mind and allows me to root for the failure of the horrible mess Disney is putting out now.
