Non - The Last Jedi (no spoilers from me)

First Team
I really enjoyed it.

Also, I managed to do two things that I'd never done for a movie release. I avoided the trailer and any other pre-release footage so I went in oblivious to plot lines/suggestions. I also went to the first midnight screening available here. I must do this more often.
 
I really enjoyed it, the sex scenes were a shock though, especially between Luke and Chewie. The whole legal challenge over Han's will and the repossession of the Millennium Falcon story arc was over played I felt.
 
Yeah never seen one either. And the only reason I would, would be to stop the gawks and the disbelief every time I say that I haven't.

Haven't caved in yet though.

You wouldn't really be caving in though NW.

I wouldn't bother with any of the newer ones but I can recommend watching the first two which, if you've not been following, are A New Hope (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980). Both were made by a mainly British crew using their imagination and card board boxes rather than CGI and an apple device. It was a great time when film making was more of an art form and a love for those doing it rather than a massive money making juggernaut which it turned into.

There is a documentary on BBC4 next Thursday called The Galaxy Britain Built which looks very good and shows how the original films were made.

Sorry "Caving In" was the wrong term. Honestly, I think I've just seen too many spoofs of the Star Wars films to really take them seriously at this point. I'll definitely look at that documentary though, I love seeing how films are made, so thanks for the heads up.

To be fair, I've gone off the new ones as it's now just a Disney franchise but that doc is definitely worth watching.

As apposed to a Lucasfilm cash cow that was led by a guy determined to ruin them?

Disney have completely turned them around.

No you’re not Al ........ never seen one ....... or the Hairy Potter films ....... or the (there’s quite a long list)

And while we’re talking movies, whoever it was that cast Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher needs to be tied to post on a village green, and horse whipped till he / she vows to never be so blooming ridiculous ever again :154:

Spot on Druss. For me this was the worst of the Disney films because I thought there was too much going on, but at least 10 times better than 1-3.

Who do you think cast him? The producer did, Tom Cruise. I am sure they are not related ;)

So you have watched Jack Reacher but not Star Wars or Harry Potter? You need to select your films a little more carefully in the future :grin:

No I haven’t seen the Reacher movies either Druss ...... for the simple fact that Cruise is the polar opposite to the character that Lee Child created :hihi:

He should not only be horse whipped, but made to watch re-runs of Are You Being Served, 24 hours a day for a month. :grin:
