What MOVIE(s) have you been....seeing? watching?
I love The Vanishing (stay far away from the American remake). However, I'm not sure there even is an "appropriate" way to introduce another person to this movie, so don't feel bad about that one.cranberries wrote: Took a date to see a movie about a Dutch killer, The Vanishing, where a guy is buried alive at the end. Also at BYU. She informed me she was in love with a French guy.

Some new trailer is out and it looks all good and stuff, but I think they've made a horrible mistake casting Emilia Clarke in it. You have brunette Daenerys in Star Wars, in royal robes and everything. I even think Woody Harrelson might be a mistake. Anyway, still super interested to see it but those were pretty distracting things in the trailer for me.

The whole movie is a mistake.

Disney knows that most people aren't like you, so it will be fine

Unless of course Disney thinks they could make money off of it.

There are mysteries beyond the ken of us mortals. How Star Wars came to be accepted as entertainment will torment the minds of the future’s great thinkers till the sun is a black blot in a dead universe.

I could give less of a shit about this movie, but that is a very good trailer. I love the music.
It all just feels so ... unnecessary. You know this movie is going to be nothing more than a giant checklist of origin stories. How did Han meet Chewie? Meet Lando? Get his gun? Get the Falcon? Get his vest? Say, "I have a bad feeling about this?" Learn to play space chess? And on and on and on.
Prequels, by their very nature, are pretty stupid, because there's so little tension. They're just flowcharts, to get you from Point A to a pre-determined Point B. The only prequel I've seen recently that was a worth a crap is Better Call Saul.

For some reason, people LOVE this stuff. If they didn't include it they'd get skewered.

But you are totally right that if it's just a checklist love-fest, it will be awful in terms of story-telling.
At the end of the day for franchises like this, i think we need more "Logan" and less Phantom Menace - "Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan kenobi..."
