Does she ever bathe? Or does she reek of body odor? Also, how come she can afford perfect hair, eyebrows, makeup and shaven legs?
Bravo JJ.
Smells like Amelia Clark i bet. Beefy.

hello screbbit
I want to suck her cute feet clean!
Discuss horror & exploitation!
Cool movies I've watched in recent days:
>The Cinemasnob Movie
>Hellraiser
>The Burning
>Poultrygeist
>City Of The Living Dead
>A Serbian Film
>Braindead
All were good :^)
Does anyone by chance know a horror film that involves as much cuckery as does Hellraiser? That shit was a blast.

It's quite a good flick, yes
Cruise saved sci-fi
Then you have /v/edora sensibilities
The prequels were more than just a popcorn flick. They had deeply interlaced stories and foreshadowing with subplots unfolding into subplots all of which were paramount to the overall story arch. The prequels can be watched in three ways. 1) As the relationship background of Obi-Wan and Vader 2) The galactic series of events that led to the creation of the empire and 3) The rise of Darth Sidious.
Meanwhile TFA is practically Star Trek in its presentation, has no emerging subplots or interesting character relationships beyond the most hamfisted and forced bromance ever...

I'm glad people are starting to realize the prequels are bad meme is bullshit.
>>>>>>reddit.com
the prequels are classic shakespearean theater tone and style mixed with a greek tragedy story and modern political drama intrigue. All of this combined with breathtaking effects and worldbuilding from hollywood's premier idea man and visual technology innovator and it blends together for something truly special. It's patrician cinema at its highest form.
Rey is not a Mary Sue, I can prove it.
>malnourished scavenger fights off two men twice her size
Been living there for most of her life and either has fuzzy memories of her early training and/or she taught herself.
>fumbles at first, then suddenly outmaneuvers 2 TIE fighters while flying through a scrapyard and though the inside of a ship
She knows those star destroyers. She scavenges in them, has been for years. and it's not impossible that she has found smaller ships that could still be in good...

Explaining WHY she's a Mary Sue doesn't disprove that she's one, it just further confirms it
Reposting because you guys don't know what a Mary Sue is
The problem with Rey is not that she beats the odds or that she has special abilities. She is just overly competent on a, and this is important, IMMERSION BREAKING level.
We know the the vague rules of Star Wars and and we know the laws of the universe and we know how other characters compare (which is why Mary Sue's are usually fan fiction characters, because they just completely shit on everything that was set in the fictional universe)
Here let me give you an example:

Leia wishes her good luck even though she doesn't even know who the fuck she is.
Heck even newly introduced characters immediately love her like that weird granny Han introduced the squad to. She immediately cares about her for no reason, while she was also described to be a rather difficult person and even is rather rough to Fin and Han. It's immersion breaking because it just completely goes against what you just learned about the character. But you know she needs to act nice to her, because everyone...

>If I had seen “Revenge of the Sith” in real time, in a theatre upon its release, in 2005, I think that, at the moment when Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), sizzling in the blue lightning that Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) reflects back at him, cries out to Anakin (Hayden Christensen), “Power! Unlimited Power!,” I would have leaped out of my seat yelling with excitement. The entire movie is filled with an absolute splendor of the pulp sublime,...

>It’s nice to see George Lucas get a little love (as Bryan Curtis noted this week). Yet this retroactive recognition is nonetheless proof that a filmmaker can be both rich as Croesus and assured of a place in history while still remaining a misunderstood and unappreciated artist. Lucas’s great achievement isn’t the conception of the “Star Wars” saga, the inauguration of the franchise, or his consignment of it to Disney for cloning ad infinitum. Those are for the movie books, for...

>It’s easy for me to say so, because I only just saw those films now, after a few days of not-quite-binge-watching of the Blu-ray set of the series. I’m nearly a “Star Wars” newbie. Prior to viewing “The Force Awakens,” I had seen the first film in the series (the one belatedly renamed “A New Hope,” from 1977) some time in the nineteen-eighties, and none of the others. That’s because I was utterly underwhelmed by “A New Hope,” impressed solely by the world-making of...

>My colleague Alex Ross recently wrote in praise of Williams’s music for the “Star Wars” series. I defer to Alex regarding the details of musical knowledge and craft that Williams displays; I differ with him regarding the emotional and sonic affect of the music. Hearing Williams’s compositions for “Star Wars” is like being ordered, loudly and aggressively, to feel, and to feel one thing. It sounds calculated to bludgeon a viewer into submission, to create a cowed unanimity of...

The alien races and alien animals in TFA don't really resemble Star Wars. Star Wars aliens tend to have a particular look to them, both the sentients and the beasts. TFA's aliens all look like they were ripped off some other franchise's aliens.
And they didn't even bring back Twi'leks, Biths, Sullustans, etc.
And pic related is not something you'd expect from Star Wars.
>>64623945
>Sullustans
nien nunb was literally in the movie
I thought they looked like D&D monsters. The whole thing had a rather D&D feel to it, which makes me greatly anticipate the Darths And Droids version.
There was another D&D-esque part in the movie, at the end when Rey "uses the force" and closes her eyes to do a little meditation thing before beating Kylo in a saber fight. That was her levelling up, buying and then immediately using Battle Meditation, which anyone who has played KotOR will remember is a broken-as-fuck buff/debuff power.
This is the day boys.

Deadwood movie
Happening
2016
Thank you based Home Box Office
>Yesterday, we received confirmation of this Deadwood movie from a very reliable source: Michael Lombardo, the president of network programming at HBO.
>“It’s going to happen,” he said.
Google it because I can't post the link because of this god damn spam system
>Specifically, Lombardo confirmed to TVLine that creator “David [Milch] has our commitment that we are going to do it. He pitched what he thought generally the storyline would be — and knowing David, that could change. But it’s going to happen.”
>The timing of the movie, however, is still uncertain. Lombardo said that David Milch is currently working on another project, but that as soon as he wraps up work on it, his full attention will turn toward the film. There is, however, the matter of bringing back the cast. HBO is lucky in that regard: Almost the entire cast of Deadwood is made up of character actors, and those who have gone on to find bigger fame elsewhere — Timothy Olyphant, Anna Gunn, Ian McShane, Dayton Callie, and John Hawkes — are not currently tied to any major series projects...

Can we for a moment address something that has been grating on me for a few weeks now that everyone seems to ignore.
Lets forget about Finn being played by Boyega, lets ignore his terrible acting. Lets ignore every SJW argument, counter argument etc.
Can we, for fucks sake discuss how this character was written?
This guy is the stereotypical Star Wars fan, what Hollywood thinks the young millennial SWs fans are like. He looks at everything in wonderment like a three year old visiting SW DIsneyland. He talks to everybody like he's a millennial kid....

This is a valid criticism of TFA, I'd figure more /tv/ fucks would be on this like maggots on Han's dead body. Guess /tv/ only hates TFA when they want to be contrarian.
>>64619039
And nearly everything he does is for comedic effect. He's not Jar Jar annoying, but he's certainly the comic relief character
>>64619039
You put in way too much effort for just another "I hate niggers" thread. This movie and this site destroyed your mind and you're not even aware of it.
Okay, so if this guy can stop a fucking BLASTER BOLT midair, and he can force grab or whatever that officer guy and drag him towards him midair, totally against the guy's will, he obviously has a pretty solid control of the force. Technically more than Vader, who never did more than lightly choke a guy.
SO WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T HE EVEN TRY THIS SHIT AGAINST FINN AND REY???
>b-but his entire character is about how unfocused he is and how he has no confidence and Rey already outmatched him once
Okay so you literally don't...

It's not about realism. It's about logic.
So after Kylo Ren is Grievous no longer the shittiest villain in Star Wars?
Dis is Impossibru!
No, Grievous was really great in the Clone Wars cartoons, particularly the Tartakovsky star wars miniseries.
Kylo Ren did a good job playing the "young, immature, inexperienced" Sith.
The worst villain is Darth Maul. Shows up, says nothing, dies. No character at all.

This. I don't even dislike Gunray, but he is pretty much useless.
How come no agent noticed him yet? He could be a big hollywood thing in no time.
Just not funny.

Stockholm syndrome refers to a group of psychological symptoms that occur in some persons in a captive or hostage situation. It has received considerable media publicity in recent years because it has been used to explain the behavior of such well-known kidnapping victims as Patty Hearst (1974) and Elizabeth Smart (2002). The term takes its name from a bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, in August 1973. The robber took four employees of the bank (three women and one man)...

in my head, the only reason that scene happened the way it did was because some suit wanted it that way.
