'The Dude' movie forget what it's called but he goes bowling. just stupid. stopped watching it when it got to the pool scene.

Also, why didn't abraham take out his bazooka or loaded it while they were slowly pulling up to negan and his road block? he could have got out and blew them all the fuck out.

Yes, the man raised on a diet of McNuggets and Hot Pockets is just as equipped to discern the quality of an advanced meal as a world class chef who has travelled sampling the delicacies of the globe.

Cinema appreciation is a learned skill much the same. But go ahead, reject everything that aims above the entry level because you get upset about being made to feel dumb instead of feeling inspired to train your cine-sophistication. You will always have your video games to comfort you.

Again, no story whatsoever. Just Jack Nicholson and his buddies doing random things in a mental hospital. No likable characters, and by the end of the movie I just wanted to punch Nicholson in his annoying face. Casablanca was just boring, but this one was absolutely terrible.

I'm sorry. I was born in 1986.

By the time I was old enough to take notice, approx. mid-late 90s, it was dated-looking, 1980s hokey shit, like Flash Gordon, and inferior to more recent products.

Furthermore, there's no science in this alleged sci-fi, the technology is poorly developed in the story.

This could only appeal to Generation X faggots, like Mike Stoklasa, who have nothing to live for.

The fact that the trilogy turned into some sort of nerd essential makes it even more rage-inducing. By themselves, they would be just a bunch of lame movies, but there's an entire fucking cult surrounding them. Maybe that's how the bible started out.

The kicker is: Fans treat Star Wars like it's some sort of elaborate taste. It's one of the most popular franchises in the world and they still go "OH, YOU LIKE STAR WARS TOO?!" like there are not millions of people out there who are into this drivel as well. It's stunning how you can hold two completely opposite opinions at the same time.

This and the first movie was just a pain to sit through.

I couldn't find it scary because there is no suspense and the zombies looked comical. There was no real story or direction it's like they made it up as they went along. For me it's basically just a demo of practical horror effects.

Well, most people don't like anything at all. 95% of all humans are basically apes with smartphones. They just lounge around with no thoughts in their head all day. They just pay rent and live until they die, no questions asked.

The thing is, most girls will just blurt out "uuhhh yeah" If you ask them if they like Star Wars, because they see an opportunity to seem quirky and cool. They may have watched the movies once or twice, but they don't actually have a real opinion on anything. They just make up personality traits for themselves whenever it fits the situation.

I should be able to bullshit it, I mean what's it gonna be about?
Some kid meets this old guy.
It then turns out that the old guy fought in the "clone wars", which really was just one war, alongside the kid's father, who apparently was a good friend.
Also there's a bad guy called Sheev and Dark Vader or whatever he was called is actually the kid's father. The high ground is an immensely powerful technique and spinning is a good trick too.
Podracing is a thing, whatever that is.
Did I miss anything?

The new movie looks like no previous knowledge of Star Wars is required. However, the trilogy is culturally relevant, even if it sucks.

I'd say bite the bullet, maybe work out while the movies are running or something.

You should spend that 12 hours watching actual films not children's movies.

Thought as much.
How is Roeg, I got a couple of his films lying around, but never got around to watching any.
