Eek! Forbes' SW box office prediction
I predict massive meltdowns and possibly rioting in the street if Star Wars doesn't beat that piece of trash Jurassic World at the box office
there are WAY more screenings at my local theatres for Star Wars than JW, though
honestly shocked it didn't beat out twilight or Jurassic world in theatre count

Well there's something we agree on. Then again I can't stand pretentious internet/Youtube hipster shit.

I don't think many would be surprised if it doesn't. December openings are always tougher due to people travelling and shopping during the holidays. It'll smash the current Dec record but the OW was always a big question mark. However, I expect it'll have great legs over the next month
Aren't there way more times for SW than JW, per theater?
Pretentious? They are just having a bit of fun. They even do it for movies they enjoy.

Never put it past people to get emotionally attached to the weirdest things
I love following the box office and looking at the numbers and patterns but I could give a shit which movies break which records. The only thing I actually root against is terrible films making bank because it means there will be more of them

Fair enough, pretentious might not be the right word, but there's something cynical to me about making fun of stuff on Youtube. It's nothing inherently evil, but I can't tally up how many other things are worth my time more. Like arguing on GAF.
Yup. Those guys got old fast. HT still cracks me up.
There IS a lot of stuff like that out there though, I'll give you that. And I'm not a fan of it either.
Oh yeah. The Avatar effect.
I really don't think they're the same puppet. TPM Yoda is supposed to look younger.
it looks like a completely different character, just the same race. Look at the mouth and jaw structure, and top of head. How'd this happen?
Its fun to talk about it

So according to the Spotify thread, I'm a First Order Stormtrooper. Not sure what to think about being a Space Nazi. Playlist is mostly good tho
It's fun to follow but it's nothing I take too seriously unless something is a box office disaster or has really interesting trends.

Well, technically everyone should care or there won't be an Episode 8. I mean, as if there's a chance in hell that will happen, but still.
You are a monster
I'm Leia. Like I said in the other thread, I didn't realize I listened to a lot of dance pop. But that's all good.
Dance Pop
23%
Soul
15%
Power Pop
9%
Sounds good to me.

Staying away from social media until Saturday night is going to be hard, but I guess it at least allows me to be productive.
That's probably my answer as well

If we're seriously gonna do this, then I don't see how the answer can be anything but Marry Rey, Kill Padme, Fuck Leia
I'd suggest first getting to know your bride before marriage.
Eh, most people don't.
Why do that here?

I grabbed the app, but i cant get the VR to focus, it's really bumming me out

Just over 24 hours to go till the midnight screening.
This. Is. Going. To. Be. Awesome.
Depends on if Leia's in the bikini or not.
But yeah it'd be a waste to kill Natalie Portman. She's so fine
Isn't that the point of marriage.. real OR hypothetical? I'd never marry someone without knowing them, but that's just me. Leia has a ton of personality..
After ANH, she looks a little bit to "hard" for my taste, but I am always so in love with her when I watch ANH

Cinnabon hair is best hair and no one wore it better even if Padme tried.

I mean, to me it kind of is, I equate it to people who feel like they know more or could do better. Maybe these guys don't feel that way which is why I admitted that it wasn't the right word for it.

We're in complete fantasy land here anyway, so for me
Padme is the only character as disappointing in the PT as Anakin and deserves to be wiped from existence
Leia probably fucks like a wild animal but would probably never be happy married
and Rey we don't know yet but there's only one other option and the other two are pretty much set
Cute, tooy espescially on this picture, but she come off in the movie a little bit to grumpy.ESB Leia tho

She is crazy young in ANH, like 19 or 20 yo.

Best Luke. I don't really understand it when people say he was less interesting when he became a Jedi.

I always found Luke annoying in ANH or ESB then ROTJ turned around and made him my fave character of the bunch.
ESB Leia lacks the bun hair but that's the only reason that costume isn't no. 1.
His vest is the GOAT

people confuse RT with how good a movie is. All it tells you is what percentage of CRITICS liked it. And liking it is a low bar. It can be good, but flawed (it 2.5 out of 4, etc)
I think as it approaches the lower and upper bounds, the public probably moves away (ie, a higher percentage of the public will like a lower rated movie than critics, and lower percentage of the public will like a top 5 percentile of RT).
So yeah, 30% of critics liked a movie you liked, you're in the minority, but that doesn't seem strange.
Just like 95-98% movies have a group that doesn't like them.
It's why the freshness bar appears to be set low, when it really isn't. If 50% of critics liked a movie in a genre or series you really like, chances are you might like it too.

ROTJ Luke hits the perfect tone of feeling somehow both wise and still innocent. It's a good development for the character.
