Star Wars: The Last Jedi

[JasonPratt]

I watched a bit of RLM's Last Jedi "nerd crew podcast" video. It took me a few seconds before I realized they were trashing it. Subtle, those guys.

Actually, they were poking fun at pre-reviews on the internet, not trashing the film. Their actual review is waaaaaaaaay more nuanced.

do any of you people know how to just have fun and enjoy something without nitpicking it to pieces?

Only by keeping it to 10 words or less.

Some of us can nitpick it to pieces in 10 words or less, too.  >:D


I had fun in the film -- but, and this is important, the film isn't about having fun. (Which made the humor seem really wedged in.) Also, the film is about nitpicking what came before to pieces, with anti-respect for it.

So...  :-\ sure, I can turn off my brain and enjoy the pretty lights and sounds. The film actively trolls me if I try to enjoy it more than that, and especially if I try to enjoy the previous films more than that (despite their problems, which I can easily do.)

Exactly  O0
Second time - better than the first.

Seriously - I get what you lot are saying - and I even saw some things myself - but I still came out thinking it was great.

Glad you enjoyed it both times, JD.  I enjoyed it, but there were lots of issues.

If nerds can't nitpick a Star Wars movie, then what's the point of being a nerd?

[JasonPratt]

^^ I am perfectly okay with other people enjoying it.

And maybe it'll grow on me over time; other films have done so.  O0

I thought the Luke/Chewbacca wedding was pretty touching myself.

The wookie got a medal, too!

(Finally.)






(For anyone who thought "That's in the film" was a joke, it wasn't. I mean, it was, but the joke is that it wasn't a joke. Except in the film, it's a joke in the film. A cruel, cruel joke. But I wasn't joking. Except it was funny. But not in the film. ..........  I'm going to stop thinking about this movie for at least a week. It's bad for me.)

So.... this movie was really a musical.  :o    THAT'S why I missed all the arcs arching like skipping stones. I am getting old and I miss a lot.
