Bladder bursting?

You old fart!

you drink 5 beers and sit still for almost 3 hours.

Time to invest in adult diapers

We know you like sitting in your own urine.
the rest of us not so much.

Perhaps, but I know how to correctly quote a post.

Rogue one is my favourite too. I saw it twice in the cinema, and the ending gets me everytime  :'(  I think it'll become a classic in time.

Agreed. My kid hated it. He mostly liked the new one on now wants to go to Ireland and visit the island where Luke lived.

I hope you get to do that , because Ireland is a special place , with some really spectacular scenery  :) I'm fairly sure that the place where they shot that is somewhere in county Kerry ....probably on the peninsula were the very touristy ring of Kerry is . Which is just a road that goes right around the peninsula, but it's supposed to be beautiful .I've lived here for 14 years , and I still haven't done it ! Although I've been to Kerry a few times and it really is stunning in places ...like Dingle , which is a small fishing town , it's lovely . I think those houses in the film , I remember reading that they used to be monk's cells , where the monks used to live . And I thought it was clever in the movie the last Jedi , how they made the little alien creatures look like nuns ( the ones who fixed the wall when Rey shot a hole in it ,when she connected with kylo ren/Ben ) I thought it was clever how they gave a "nod" to the heritage of that place :)

I know there's a lot wrong with the movie , and I agreed with others on here who said it went on for far to long .it could have been shorter . But then again , I also think they got some parts right . And I wouldn't have minded the length of the movie , if it had blown me away .

I just don't get all the nerd rage about this movie  :o

edit: not so much here, but on other forums I frequent

as a person that knows military history and plays wargames there is a lot of stupid shit in this movie and those like it.

It's not history, it's sci fi for kids.

well not only nerds, 
for all audience for whom this was not their first Star Wars movie, and esp those who had seen Episode VII before (and even re-watched it as a primer a few day before like i did), there were some strong expectations planted,
esp with the announcement that Episode VIII is a direct continuation of the plot.

planted expectation were
- That Luke teach Rey as a Jedi master in his own personal style but where influence of Obi Wan and Yoda shines through
- That Snoke is at least the size of a cave troll and a mean manifestation of evil itself in spacetime-continuum which had puppet mastered Sith lords like Palpatine at ease ... and is not suddenly a lizard in a golden bath robe, who get fooled by two young apprentices in their love-hate relationship confusion
- That Rey's origin (parents, step parents?) somehow matter
- That Phasma has an important role in the developing plot

also some of the 'irritations' could have been so easily avoided by just one casual sentence in the radio chatter
like: in despair we converted captured old low level planetary bombers to join the attack...First Order will get a rude surprise
art design:  i would have shaped the bombs as RPG warheads with a small rocket that ignite after a spring release
from the racks ...problem solved.

instead of the Asian women for Political Correctness on Earth and the Disney marketing department happiness
it would have been sooo much more StarWars (and with an even better 'all races in the universe matter and contribute to the effort'-message)   
if the new Finn sidekick would have been from a different Star Wars race like Ahsoka Tano's race  or those females with blue skin, we all know from those holo-poledance gimmicks ...that would have been a smart move, even had please the feminists with: look those woman can do more then work in bar entertainments. they are engineers and fighter pilots too...

Who says they don't?
I mean, you got told something by an evil dude who may have had ulterior motives to obscure the truth.
And there's not at least a chance he's lying?

To me, that's one of the dumbest/weakest complaints about the movie - just because Kylo Ren insulted her by denigrating her parents doesn't make it true.  It might be, but we don't know either way.

So were the prequels. So are the Transformers movies. Doesn't mean they're good movies.

Pacific Rim is an epically dumb movie, but it is all also a lot of fun.

Last Jedi was dumb without the fun. It was Spaceballs without the laughs.

After 18 days the movie fell to 2nd place in the US box office.
