I didn't even know the (current) Honest Trailer guy had his own review channel.  :smitten:

Damn. THAT Leia was kind of hot.

She inspired a rebellion in my shorts.

I don't blame him. It's basically a fan film made by fans.

Actually a very thoughtful piece, with a fair amount of history thrown in.  Puts some things out there that we historical gamers might understand, but the general public wouldn't see.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I saw it today with my son. We both thought it was good and the segue to Episode IV was fun. Seemed a bit grittier than most of the other movies. Saw a great trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy II. Good way to spend Boxing Day.

Man, "Plinkett" really hammered down on Rogue One...



(Of course, it's a summary of their Half in the Bag review, or so I suppose -- never got around to watching that.)

As I mentioned in the other thread, I saw Rogue One on Monday, and loved it.  If it's not now my favorite Star Wars film, it's at least a damn close second (after Empire).  A pity Gareth Edwards couldn't have directed The Force Awakens as well; I suspect he'd have done a much better job with it than Jar-Jar Abrams did.

I saw it on Monday as well.  I thought it was a great flick filled the plot holes nicely in Episode IV.

We saw it in IMAX which was quite thrilling.  Also got to see the trailer for Dunkirk...wow that looks good in IMAX.

Just read that they cut a special 7 minute trailer of Dunkirk exclusively for IMAX.  Based on that this is a must see movie for me in this format.

My oldest took me to the last three Harry Potters in IMAX.  Didn't really see the big deal, but, I'm kind of an odd duck anyways.

Dunkirk is the must-see movie for me in 2017, at least until Star Wars VIII comes out :)
